I have a lot of questions. #ActuallyAutistic #ADHD 🏳️‍🌈

I'm sorry if this makes you feel like I'm taking you too seriously.

Have you considered the possibility that you are not taking me seriously enough?

I need to hear this on top of a techno mix

Best Thing I've Read Today: tech journalist #TaylorLorenz writes about why banning children from social media will lead to grave consequences for all of us. https://t.co/gusEdqqhRP

What do you do when the illegal streaming website you rely on has uploaded the wrong file for a recent critical episode

Finally saw Heated Rivalry pilot, it's fine and all but I am distracted by the business socks

[PetraTheQuestioner @QuestionPetra]

@philipgporter In my day we were stuck with minesweeper or Hearts to distract us from writing essays on our giant desktop PCs

@TheNumerophile0 I use Reddit because it's the only place left to find user-generated content that isn't touched by algorithms. There are great, well-moderated communities if you look for them.

[PetraTheQuestioner @QuestionPetra]

this is why I will never leave twitter.

my feed:

78% opposition to fascism
10% drag race memes
10% traitors memes
2% menswear guy

I never expected social media to end up this way but here we are

So @minhiwang really did her big one when she asked @ebonithequeen to do this

@yosoymichael celebrities battling over smoked salmon is the most relatable TV moment I have ever observed

[PetraTheQuestioner @QuestionPetra]

@dieworkwear You are literally the only thing keeping me on this site and I have zero personal interest in menswear

Now there are lots of representations of girls (and, thankfully, diversity of almost every kind). I just hope to see diverse representations of autism, including diverse autistic Barbies.

[PetraTheQuestioner @QuestionPetra]

I love this. I do! It's a great start.

I am not trying to make it all about me but this doll does not represent my flavour of autism. I hate walking around with headphones, or having things in my hands, and I do not stim or hand-flap the way that many other autistic people do

[Emily♡ @ItsEmilyKaty]

Autistic Barbie has been launched - a doll with pink noise-cancelling headphones, a fidget spinner, sensory sensitive clothing, an AAC tablet, an eye gaze slightly to the side, and fully bendable wrists and elbows to allow repetitive movements like stimming and hand-flapping. 🧵

[PetraTheQuestioner @QuestionPetra]

It's not a problem with the doll, it's a problem with tokenism in general.

When I was growing up there was only one way to be a girl, as per the one represented in each movie or TV show (Miss Piggy, Smurfette, etc).

@MrEmilyGDawn much appreciation for sharing these pics of Queen Aja, I had not seen them before and she looks beautiful

[PetraTheQuestioner @QuestionPetra]

@ajaoxum such a pleasure to watch you grow into yourself <3 keep thriving

[PetraTheQuestioner @QuestionPetra]

@ireallyamahuman @sappholives83 A list of men identifying as men and attacking women would be significantly longer, which you know perfectly well. Leave the goalposts where they are.

[PetraTheQuestioner @QuestionPetra]

@laurenancona They keep your hands clean while eating chips and snacks.

[PetraTheQuestioner @QuestionPetra]

@KatyElphinstone I can feel them but I cannot identify them #Alexithymia. the predominant emotion I have felt throughout my life is confusion

[PetraTheQuestioner @QuestionPetra]

@AutisticCallum_ It's not even that I _like_ to consider every angle. I literally can't help it.
