    Frankly, I think the bigger problem is the pathologization of any eccentricity. You're expected to be "quirky" in ways that are seemingly harmless (and easily commoditized), but that genuine strangeness is actually a lot more dangerous and untolerated in this ultra-connected, hyper-socialized world than it used to be. It has become an impairment. Although I do sense there used to be a pretty severe asymmetry of tolerance based on the sex (will this get censored?) of the individual, guess we achieved equality of discrimination.

    Its always been an impairment. I treat as a barrier as barriers can be over come.

    I am skeptical 10-12 year olds being told they need to “get their act together because the world won’t be nice to you” is going to help them. Nor do I think it would help those younger than that.

    Your strategy may work for you as a high schooler/college student/adult/whatever age you are, but would it work for young children?

    The younger you start the easier, the world gonna hit you over the head with a concrete slab then ask why your on the floor, rather than trying to cater we gotta help them learn to be flexible.  Not that everyone else is coming to be so they don't have too.

    it is written by a bigot, who believes autism and ADHD are “educational and parental cop-outs.” He tells people to “educate their stupid kids” because “the world isn’t going to tiptoe around them just because they have some weird habits.”

    I partially agree with this, I do think we need to be taught that no the world won't tip toe around you. I'm autistic myself and accepting that no the world isn't gonna treat you nice, has helped me pull through my symptoms. Acting like losing control is normal didn't help me. Treating as a instinctual action that I can push through did. In the end treating autism as a barrier rather than part of me has helped me push through at least a bit.

    I bought wet food ins packs of cat meal sized portions. The closed bag or can has no smell, but then you open it, I thought the cat should notice the bags and try to open them, it was just plastic but she never tried. 

    I held it near his face and he didn't really notice anything till I opened it.

    Astronomer Dave Weixelman told the outlet that “the comet will lie just 6° west of Jupiter and about 24.5° northeast of the Sun.” During the brief period of totality, sky gazers can observe the bright green comet using a pair of binoculars.”

    So…… facing to the south…. Left and up a bit of the sun? 
     

     

    No I'm even more sad I missed totality

  6. I got .y equipment set up but the eclipse isn't total for me just around 50% wish y'all the best of luck!

    Woke up to glorious blue skies! 

    Super excited 

    Turned on the TV... 

    They said the storm in Texas is headed our way. 

    What the hell, Texas!?! 

     

    Ya, tomorrow there a big storm in Dallas that's why I didn't go. 100000+ cars in a Texas thunderstorm isn't safe(I'd have still gone if it was up to me)
