Stimpunks Foundation on Mythryl: “Do you still have a favorite dinosaur? And why are we expected to…”

Do you still have a favorite dinosaur? And why are we expected to "grow out" of them? Autistic kids infodump about dinosaurs and get ridiculed for it. Thursday's Infodumplings, 7PM Central. Bring yours. stimpunks.org/2026/08/19/i...

stimpunks.orgInfodumplings: Do You Still Have a Favorite Dinosaur?"Do you still have a favorite dinosaur?" And the question sitting right behind it: why are we expected to "grow out" of our childhood enthusiasms like dinosaurs? Dinosaurs are a popular infodumping interest among Autistic kids, and we are often ridiculed for our enthusiasm — especially as we get older and are expected to get "serious," which usually means focusing on what we can make money at. So that is Thursday. No video, no slides, no expertise required. Bring your dinosaur. Bring the thing that was your dinosaur. Bring the enthusiasm you were told to put away, and tell us whether you actually did.
