Walking in the city. Motion intensity image of the visual change, much of which is not consciously perceived by most people. (Still frame from a walking video).

Visual change represented by brightness. Most of the potentially attention-distracting change is irrelevant to the task of walking, navigating or socialising. Most people do not even notice it.

https://thequirkybrain.coach/is-coaching-right-for-me-right-now/

If anyone is thinking about working with me, I always offer a consult to determine if coaching is right, safe and appropriate for you, right now.

Some people only want to have the conversation once they've had a good think for themselves about whether coaching is right. I encourage this!

To support your thinking on whether you could or should be working with any coach, I have written a post that tells you things you can be thinking about, and what I discuss in consults to help a client work out if coaching is where they need to be or not.

I hope this is useful!

It's a big day for me today - I am giving two talks about topics that I am really passionate about.

At 5pm, I am speaking for the Bristol chapter EMCC on neurodivergence in the coaching space. I'll be talking about my areas of experience/coaching expertise (ADHD & autism). The talk is about the lookout points in the coaching process and conversation where coaches may need to think about how they conduct the coaching or undertake particular actions to support their client.

At 7pm, I will speak about what the "positive university" would need to have or be based on my experience as an autistic academic, and some ideas from positive psychology about what might help autistic academics to be well and thrive intellectually and energetically.

It's going to be a busy day but a really enriching one. Wish me luck!

Dude I was playing #MagicTheGathering EDH with at store got mad at me for just saying "I attack you with..." instead of using his name. He was like, "I remember your name from last time we met, use my name!"

Thanks Mr School Teacher (really), I come from a family where #FaceBlindness runs in family and even if I'm not as bad as my sister I'm still #Neurodivergent and names and faces can slip from my mind literally in seconds even when I'm *consciously* trying hard (and sometimes I can't recognize people or names I've known for years) so thanks for getting all ablist, you ass

Holy crap are Loop earplugs amazing. I really struggle with noise--things like the neighbor kid bouncing a basketball outside the house are enough to send me into a distraction frenzy, as is someone talking on a cell phone or next to me in a movie--and these help so much. I also have the Quiet ones for sleeping and love them deeply.

(Not an ad. Just so grateful things like this exist for the #neurodivergent brains among us.)

Hey, #ActuallyAutistic fam…

Just starting to write again after nearly 3 months. Health scare. Little rusty…Need your opinion.

This is something that might affect #AutsticElder males… maybe Enbys, females?

"Autistic Burnout? New Truth - What If It Actually Goes Deeper?"

I think humor often treads near the edge of good taste. Saying mildly forbidden things out loud? One source of jokes. The trick is, don't go over the edge, offend most of your audience. Think @Hannahgadsby...

I want to start my article like this... Do I get away with it?
---
Ever notice how pop culture gets our natural autistic ways all wrong? They try to be so hip… so inclusive. But like Sia, even tho she says she's autistic... they end up pissing us off?

Imagine your local open comedy mic. Your sipping the finest cheap swill the dimly lit establishment has to offer.

Some grinning dude struts out into the spotlight, swaggering like he's gonna slay the lit crowd. Grabs the mic, tilts his head back, laughs out loud, and launches into his best autistic-coded humor, cuz diversity and all:

A hip looking therapist sits at a desk in a lavishly furnished office in wood and leather. Wearing hip sunglasses.

For clarification, my sexual orientation wasn't mentioned (it occurs to me I may have left all with that impression).

Instead I brought up my suspicion that I may be on the autism spectrum. I was given a questionnaire via email to fill out, and my score was 30 out or 50 (with 50 being highest likelihood/intensity of ASD). The psychologist will discuss the results with me at my next appointment. #neurodivergent #adhdautism

Knowing all this put me in the headspace to make the previous post.

As someone with neurodevelopmental disorders #ND, I constantly explore technology's role in improving my life. One game changing tool has been fitness trackers. They not only track my steps, highlighting activity gaps, but also enhance my sense of distance and time. Inspired by this, I began behavior tracking and monitoring habits like water intake. I'm intrigued by how fellow community members leverage technology for ND's. Share your experiences! #techforgood #assistivetech #neurodivergent

Another shower, another #FragMyBrain. I am really trying to reduce showering in order to stop having these stupid thoughts. But, hey, I can't stop having showers, can I?

Whenever I post something, and especially if it is something sad, and people respond not only with "Favorite" but write something, my brain goes bananas.

I *could* just favorite their response, they probably don't even think I'd respond, but at the very least they don't really *expect* a response. But just favoriting a response where someone says "I feel you, take care" or sends a hug or *something*, feels like ... disrespectful. It feels like I am saying "yeah, ok, whatever" - at least for my brain. And no, I don't think this way the other way around. It is only when *I* do/don't do it.

The next thought is "but what if they think the same and if I respond to their response they feel the obligation to respond again and this becomes a catch-22? What if they just wanted to say 'I feel you' and hoped I would just favorite it and done with it. If I respond, do I put them in a weird situation, make them uncomfortable? Wouldn't it be better just to favorite? But then, won't they think 'eh, fine. They didn't see my response worth a response, so they don't value it...'?"

You see, this goes on and on.

And then there is this variation: I then start responding, but this creates other problems.

If there are a lot of responses to my original post, I don't want my responses to these responses look like copy/paste, because then, my fragging brain thinks, it could come over as lazy, then I should rather not respond at all. "It is disrespectful to just copy/paste or even give the impression it is copy/paste."

Ok, then let's start writing different responses, problem solved, right? Wrong!

There is the next problem: but what if the responses are different but some of them (very) short, others (very) long. Won't the ones I responded to with a short response think I value their responses less than the responses where I responded longer? And the emojis: which emojis to use where? Won't the ones getting a "cheaper emoji"* think that their response is valued less than the response of those getting "not so cheap emojis"*?

Yes, I still have to live with this fraggin' brain 😖

*: cheap: my brain thinks that those that just look like a face are cheap because they are at the beginning of my emoji-view. The further I have to travel, the less cheap they become... Did I say that I still have to live another 78 years with this collection of garbage I call a brain?

I just realised I phrased things wrong when I was talking about myself. It’s not that I’m uncaring, I do genuinely care about the people I like and I love the few friends I do have, and would go out of my way to help them. It’s just that the fact that I’m not very empathetic, I’m not good at comforting people and I’m generally unfeeling to other people’s emotions and a lot of things that most people would be upset over. It’d have to be something horrible to get a reaction from me.

As a neurodivergent who slightly identifies as queer but is strongly inspired by the queer movement, I can see the parallel (link in post 2/2).
Because the "popularisation" of being #neurodivergent makes us forget that the #neurodiversity movement is a struggle against the white cisheteropatriarchy and its coercive system (which is implemented at all social levels).
And that I have strong allies, including men, in the communist or communitarian #anarchist movement and probably elsewhere.

I always seem to forget to share things here at the same time that I share them elsewhere, but here is a poem I wrote that I shared on my Substack for the first day of pride month:

My children are wrapped in rainbows
without the weight of worry
about a god who would promise peace
only after dealing destruction,
or who would create life and love
only to decide that some were sinful.
Someday, they'll learn all about
the Bible, genesis and Jesus,
queer liberation and pride parades,
and the reason they, themselves,
are called rainbow babies, but
for now, they'll wear clothes in every colour,
and smile at every stranger,
and when they see the sunlight
reflected and refracted in raindrops,
they'll know nothing but momentary magic
and the bliss of being both
innocent and ignorant of ignorance.

I've decided to start publishing more of my writing on Substack as well. I'm still getting established, so right now, I've got a couple of intro posts up, plus a few notes with daily poems.

I'll be sending regular newsletters on Tuesdays which will generally consist of poems like the one above along with commentary about them, essays about life (from the perspective of a queer, AuDHD leftist parent), and thoughts about my own writing process. I may separate these out at some point, and would love feedback about what people want to see more of as I'm getting started.

Do you feel, or have you been told, that you use a lot of "voices" when you're talking with someone (particularly when comfortable with them), or talking to yourself (if you do that), more than others?

I feel most people generally do this to some degree, like when saying something in a tone that implies sarcasm, for example.

The question is more about: do you feel or have you been told that you do that sort of thing ("using voices") a lot?

Thanks! :blobcat:

As part of this effort we're exploring tranisitioning my successful AutisticAF Out Loud blog, podcast, and YouTube channel from my personal effort to a resource and publishing pipeline for all neurodivergent creatives.

The question I’ve been asked the most from disabled readers is “Where do I find stories that star folks who are like me?”

Well, have I got news for you!

With Nothing Without Us and Nothing Without Us Too, you get a total of 49 stories by authors who are #disabled, #Deaf, #Blind, #neurodivergent, and/or who manage #Mentalillness! #AmReading

Book cover of Nothing Without Us and the text: "I can't describe how refreshing it is as a disabled person to read about fully fleshed out three-dimensional characters. Not only are we pulled out of our trope-ridden literary history, we are given substance." ~ Derek Newman-Stille, nine-time Prix Aurora Award winner for the digital humanities website, Speculating Canada

Available through Chapters-Indigo and many online booksellers.

Bookcover of Nothing Without Us Too and the text: "Stories featuring disabled characters that are written by disabled authors themselves are inherently stories of transformation and the new-because they come from people who've had to view the world in different ways in order to get by, to survive, to thrive in ways that only we know how." ~ Amanda Leduc, author of Disfigured: On Fairy Tales, Disability, and Making Space, and The Centaur's Wife

Something I gave to contend with when seeking play partners is navigating being in single parent mode and #neurodivergent… and experiencing #PDA.

This results in my sometimes not responding as quickly as people might want or having time to play when they might like. It translates in their minds to my not being interested, or maybe even baiting them without intent…?

I get it. I know it’s not true. But perceptions are what they are. When they get pissy about it, it doesn’t seems to make sense to argue or explain. My life may not be compatible with them. My gut reaction is to block. Reduce everyone’s frustration.

I don’t know if this is the right thing, but in my mind it reduces the drama load when I know the trigger for isnt something I can change.

If folks have ideas, I’m curious. But just sharing in case other experience this too.

@djkalbert Just follow people who seem interesting and boost (repost) things that are meaningful to you. You can always unfollow someone later if you wish, but by following people you will increase the number of posts you see. There's no algorithm, so you need to make connections to find people of interest. Hashtags help too. The #neurodivergent community here is supportive and informative. Welcome!

Venmo/CashApp help is most immediate and useful.

I still really need $400 a.s.a.p. -I lost the overdraft protection I was given to medical. New medication was really expensive. $400 would cover costs for a few things and relieve pressure in general for about a month.
