Libre :neurodiversity:<p>Unlearning conformist bigotry is so weird when you've been entrenched in it and brainwashed with it since you were a child.

Katy Elphinstone<p>Awesome symptom no. 4<br>Feats of memory</p><p>Autistic people are often capable of remembering a vast amount of information on a topic of interest. </p><p>Note: the topic could be literally anything. There's no hierarchy! An in-depth interest in (and knowledge about) e.g. Pokemon or Avatar's world is just as valid as an intense interest in quantum physics, or Baroque composers.</p><p><a href="https://mas.to/tags/Autism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Autism</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Memory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Memory</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/SpecialInterests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SpecialInterests</span></a></p>
Uzi Bobuzi<p>Question for other <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ActuallyAutistic</span></a> folks.</p><p>How do your special interests burn, slow or fast? Do they change frequently and are there any you've had for a lifetime?</p><p>As for me, I get very interested in something and it could last for months or years but I nearly always burn out on it and move on.</p><p>Some of my special interests over my 60 years have been (in no particular order):</p><p>Tabletop RPGs - I published two with Chaosium. Don't game that way anymore.</p><p>Crochet - I made blankets for most of the important people in my life, a couple for me, and two sweaters. Haven't touched the hooks in about a year now.</p><p>Playing bass guitar - I taught myself how to play, joined an all-girl band that had some local fame, and lost interest. Haven't played in over 20 years.</p><p>Languages - I went through a phase of trying to teach myself to read, write and speak Punjabi and Hindi but that one faded quickly. I know some words from all the Indian language films I watch but learning the new alphabets proved to be too much for me.</p><p>Hermit crabs - I had a tankful for a few years and was heavy into researching diet. Had my own website that people would use as a reference. After I left my husband and moved into my new place, the Argentine ants found and started colonizing the tank and I didn't want my crabs to be eaten alive so I re-homed them and never looked back.</p><p>I'm sure there are more but my oral pain issue is interfering with my thought processes today so I'm going to punt this out into the ether and see what comes back.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SpecialInterests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SpecialInterests</span></a></p>

Niamh Garvey<p>I had to give up <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/nursing" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>nursing</span></a> 6 years ago due to <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/PhysicalDisability" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>PhysicalDisability</span></a>.
