So proud of this comment today from a student evaluation: “Finally someone taking the time to actually explain how to use R. This is the 4th unit I have done that required it and the first time I feel I can actually use it after doing the course.” 🙏😍 #Rstats

What seems to not be understood is that #Autistic people are under +15x more cognitive load per second (my math) than allistic folk. We are built to process every 👏🏽 bit 👏🏽 of 👏🏽 input & need scaffolding to operate in AllisticLand. We burn out anyway because support is woefully insufficient.

I want to keep on being the contradictory guy who's into poetry, the environment, and nature AND loves metal music, fishing and shooting, and sometimes just wants to smash things.

Feeling anger and frustration because a large part of my masking is to say 'yes' to stuff I really don't want to do. How to undo 60 years of being Mr Easygoing. 😠 #masking #autistic #neurodivergence

Tropical low pressure storm 18U is forecast to be a category 3 cyclone by the time it makes landfall. My daughter teaches 3rd grade at the edge of the orange zone... 🙀 #westernaustralia

Door note (mine) from academia. #neurodivergent #academicsky #shitacademicssay

“…just consider the fact that in Norway, they tax the fossil fuel industry and give kids free university education, in Australia we subsidise the fossil fuel industry and charge kids a fortune to go to university.” 🤔😣 #wtf #academicsky australiainstitute.org.au/post/while-u...

thinking about why I so often feel at the edge of my sanity... my current theory is that auties can be over-introspective , and anyone spending so much time examining the inner workings of their own mind is bound to see a bit of craziness after a while... #autistic #autism youtu.be/4Fc67yQsPqQ?...

Word of the day is ‘catch-fart’ (17th century: an obsequious individual who will always follow the political wind.

A beautiful golden orb weaver #spider from our local bushland. The large spider is the female; her much smaller male partner is above her on the other side of the web. She will probably eat him after they mate 🫨🕷 #westernAustralia

I rearranged my "studio" space. Of course now I need some more gear to make it work better... and summon some creativity 🤓 #guitar #music #dadmetal

Destroy this myth. Please share if you have visited and researched in a library this past year! RT And give a shout out to your favorite library you have ever visited.

I remembered lately that I do NOT like green Christmas lights or green Lego (or any similarly-hued green plastic things). But naturally green things are very cool 🐸🌿🌲🌳🌏🦎🦜🪲🍏

Thinking about how I experience Imposter Syndrome in areas like science where I actually have competence, but totally unrealistic expectations in areas I'm genuinely deficient, like social interactions. Full-on Dunning Kruger... #actuallyautistic #academicsky

I think #summer has arrived in #Australia My part of #WesternAustralia has 3 days in a row forecast at 37⁰C or above 🥵 #climate change #globalheating

Our 22 year old daughter turned 22 today. She has been offered a permanent job in a mining port town 2000 km away. Feeling proud but sad today. ♥️😥🥰🤔 #dadmoment #actuallyAutistic

I see a lot of research and books claiming that normalisation-enforcement of autistic people is 'compassionate'. The teams carrying it out truly believe it, too. I don't. What are your views?
