Can we have a rule that anything with a trump quote needs to be tagged [REAL] or [SATIRE], because it’s really impossible to tell these days.

This is why I prefer the word “celebrate”. I didn’t do anything to achieve neurodivergence, it’s not an accomplishment, so why would I be proud of it? But I can be proud of the times when I can push past the executive dysfunction and actually tidy my room.

But I can surely celebrate neurodivergence.

But that’s just me. I don’t mind if other people want to shout “autistic pride”. I used to get accused of being “proud” and “arrogant” a lot by a family member when I was mute or in shutdown, so that might be why I feel an aversion to that word.

Here’s a really good video by Barry’s Economics on the topic:

One of the most powerful beliefs in modern politics isn’t a policy. It’s the belief that nothing can change.

You hear it everywhere and I feel it too. Most of us do.

But the strange thing is that when researchers study how change actually happens, they keep finding the opposite. Social change rarely arrives because everybody suddenly agrees. It often begins with surprisingly small groups of people connected in the right ways, reaching a tipping point that makes what seemed impossible suddenly feel inevitable.
