This quote brought tears to my eyes. Greed is an amazing thing but community (Lemmy) is an even amazing one. I look forward to build something meaningful here

I'm just glad I got out and found lemmy

I will add another thing. Many disabled people aren't working force Because they can't/there's no acoomodation, etc What this means is that they don't generate money And corporations/capitalism don't care for people who are a burden

Is this just a man thing though?

Ok I'm going with my experience here. I've been an avid reader of hundreds of books a year since I was a teen. When I had my baby, I wen through a traumatic birth that left me with post partum PTSD. When that happened I couldn't read anymore. What helped me get back into reading is audiobooks and comics/mangas. 5 years has passed, I'm now mostly recovered from the PTSD but I am not the reader I used to be, I can now read a book now and then, I sometimes read big fanfics because knowing the characters and tags help a lot but audiobooks are really my go to and I can listen a bit everyday. Well, nevertheless, don't feel bad for not reading, do whatever feels good to you.

Tell me you're neurodivergent without telling me you're neurodivergent

This is actually true. Parents of disabled kids were trying to rally in my country for better school support but unfortunately parents of autistic kids couldn't take them (and many are autistic too) because of the noise and commotion that revolves around a protest. Those are really triggering circumstances and no one wants to be in pain.

That and writing descriptions on websites

I actually use Tumblr mostly everyday, I just check it like 5 minutes but I do enjoy the people there and Tumblr culture. I think it's getting better the last couple of years

far from the eyes, far from the heart

Don't even know why

That you can't cancel each month? Like a six or twelve month minimum?

I think o went back because I wanted to play LoL? And I kind of became complacent?

I'm listening to Piranesi by Susanna Clarke. I've been in a reading slump for a few months now. I'm struggling to find something engaging. This one is interesting but I'm not that invested yet.

I would like r/autism

And some even poop many times a day

Já saí ontem. Que palhaçada

I wouldn't but I could understand my 14 year old self willing to do it. I too see how many parents wouldn't even thought twice about it. I have a kid who is autistic and we spend so much money in sensory therapy and speech therapy, it used to be like one third of our income (both parents). Luckily my husband started a new job during the pandemic and thinks are better now but I can see how desperate many parents are because there isn't enough support for this kids. That said, of course we are all different. I really like who I am, I know I suck at relationships, I'm aggressive sometimes and inflexible, I struggle a lot with changes in the routine but I think I have a very good moral compass and I have what some call autistic joy about my hiperfixations and that feeling makes life worth leaving. What I would like, instead of a magic pill is unlimited support for kids and adults (therapies) and a pill against ableism.

I'm here from lemmy.pt but I'm celebrating 🥳
