Question for my #actuallyautistic peeps -- my son is also autistic, 7 yrs old, and seems to almost have object permanence issues? Like if he doesn't hear or see something he insists it didn't happen. Even if I'm saying "yes, I heard this" he'll say "no, you're wrong, it didn't happen."

Has anyone experienced something similar? How can I support his experience of the world while helping him understand that things outside his direct experience can still be real?

Happy Newish Year everyone who celebrates new year by the Gregorian Calendar!

Shit I learnt this year:

1. Kindness is always IN. Always.
2. You can win without making someone else feel like they've lost.
3. If you stand for nothing you'll fall for anything.
4. Honesty + sincerity will never let you down.
5. There is no greater turn on than courage, humility and humour.
6. Forgive. Others. And yourself.
7. Fall down and laugh until your tummy hurts.
8. Love hurts. But love anyway.
9. You are worthy.

So I have a new job (starting early February) and I have my current job until mid January (giving me two weeks off), and suddenly my brain is the most prized asset in my team and everyone wants a piece.

Perhaps they should have thought about this sooner.

Four skiiii (or perhaps skiv)
Five skiiiii (or perhaps skv, though it's hard to pronounce)

Gaming on Linux is a lot like being vegan. Both a moral stance and a way to live a healthier life.

Also, you miss out on a lot of good stuff and people look at you incredulously asking why you're doing this to yourself. #gameing

Hello. I'm back in Australia from my 4 week holiday in Eastern Europe and I'm also back at work which is hard when I am so jet-lagged.

Don't expect me to make sense today

[UK petition] Recognise #nonbinary people in law.

petition.parliament.uk/petitio

"We call on the government to recognise nonbinary people in law as distinct from men and women, in the form of a third gender option on passports and birth certificates, the ability to change one's gender legally to a third option with a gender recognition certificate as trans men and women can, etc."

This article could only be written by a white man called Rupert theguardian.com/commentisfree/

I was mostly agreeing with it until he got to Tim Hunt and then I was totally done.

Yes, there is a point to argue for nuance, yes workplaces have a need to keep staff and visitors safe (not argued in the article really), yes PETA are pains in the arse... but overall no
