@beastieboy07 As the rare Indian male with a wardrobe as colourful as yours, I've gotten that a fair bit. I think it translates to "Wow, that's more colour than I can handle". I'll take that over "You're very interesting" anyday! 🤣
@beastieboy07 As a fan of Indian cricket growing up in the early 90s, this jersey just invokes heartbreak. The irony is that now that I live in Australia, the current Indian team has the very similar aura of invincibility as the 90s Australian side!
I wish I was surprised. After 15 years of working as a photographer, this really is the norm. Forget payment, they didn’t even offer credit for “exposure”. 🤦🏾♂️
Disguising the late stage capitalist greed for profits under the humanitarian/arts facade is what makes it 🤮.
IT’S SO MUCH WORSE THAN BRANDON THINKS… @humansofbombay has taken his beautiful egalitarian humanitarian @humansofny ethos, then obliterated the artist & the ethics, & accepted paid promos from pogrom-promoting politicians, while masquerading as his beautiful ‘Humans of’…
@dustychipura Near constant stimming, daydreaming, superb pattern recognition, inability to relate to my peers, being called an “old soul”, reading way above my age bracket, inability to complete boring tasks… The list is endless. I’m gobsmacked it took till I was 37 to be diagnosed! #AuDHD
@hannamashima In India, the monsoon is my favourite season by far. The rain and the lush greenery and the pink skies that accompany it are just something else. In Australia, as a tropical autist, I love the warm weather when you can be at the beach. Winter, not so much.
@AutisticCoach_ I have always been a night person. Only after moving to Australia I realised this was because India is so loud and noisy, the night was when it was quiet. I’m now a morning person. The thing that hasn’t changed is that I need an hour in the morning to be completely alert.
@udupendra I use it daily primarily as a personal assistant. It ranks to do lists in order of importance, helps draft emails and automate a lot of admin writing I don’t enjoy. Additionally it’s helped me code my own indicator in pine script and I also use it like a personal tutor.
@Autistic_Lia I discovered them a couple of months ago and they’ve changed my life. Now I use them all the time. It’s made being in overwhelming environments like grocery stores a much easier experience. India is generally a pretty noisy place, now I can choose to tune out the world.
@AutisticCoach_ 100% I’ve grown up surrounded by animals and had a large family(4dogs, 2 cats). I’ve always felt like my babies could gauge my mood better than me and would come and cuddle me when I was feeling down. I also feel I connect better with most animals rather than humans.
@laurenancona The key difference between the two is time of sustained interest. As someone recently diagnosed with AuDHD, I’ve had both during my life time. What feels like monitropism might last a life time, though level of interest might vary, a hyper focus might shift every few weeks.
@AshleighWildest @hannaween3 100% worth trying. CBD oil has really helped me. When I didn’t have access to ADHD meds, it helped me calm down and regulated my sleep cycle. This meant I was waking up rested, and that hasn’t happened in years!
@adhdjesse The best for me is polyrhythmic music added to some kind of binaural beats/noise. The hyper part of my brain can focus on the math in the music and free the rest of my brain to focus on the task in hand. GreenRed Productions has a great collection. https://t.co/hevplZuiEC
@mightbeautistic My spouse often refers to me as a parrot, cause I pick up speech patterns or particular phrases from people if I hang out with them even for a little bit. We’ve just made the move to Australia from India and I can already feel my vowel sounds adapt to the Australian.
@AutisticCoach_ Oofos thongs are life changing! It’s like walking on clouds. As a tropical boy, I avoid socks and shoes unless necessary and require comfy padding cause of a foot injury. Like most things I have a million requirements and when I find something works, I buy the same one for years.
@AutisticCallum_ Eating with a teaspoon is something I’ve adopted from my spouse’s family. I think it’s primarily to do with optimal bite size, less chances of the spoon touching my teeth(cringe!), and most importantly much lesser “spoon taste” compared to a large spoon.
@mightbeautistic It’s definitely a must read. I just didn’t want it to end. I’ve been waiting for his followup, “A Suitable Girl” for over a couple of decades now. A quick suggestion, I had to switch to the kindle edition as the paperback is so heavy, it was hurting my wrists. 🤦🏾♂️
@mightbeautistic A Suitable Boy by Vikram Seth. With 1,349 pages, it’s one of the longest novels published in a single volume. Set in a newly post-independence, post-partition India, Seth’s lyrical prose builds a beautiful world. One of my all time favourites!
@NoNonsenseND I can never get enough water, never realised sensory issues is what was causing me to drink the amount of water I do. I always have a bottle of water with me. One on my work desk, by the bed, in my backpack, in the car etc. Often accompanied by a large coffee and coconut water.
@Autistic_Lia Unexpected noises always make me jump! Apart from that vacuum cleaners, mixer/grinders, temple bells, babies crying and loud crowds. Noise cancelling headphones have changed my life since I started using them late last year. A volume knob on the world in general is just awesome!
