I am not to my knowledge autistic, but I'm ADHD and a lot of me is in the middle of the Venn diagram. I remember sorting toys or objects into various orders and arrangements, classifying and reclassifying them, trying to find the best way to do things so that one item flowed logically into the next. I would do this for hours with just about anything, including a jar full of spare change. Buttons were AMAZING! I remember often taking an interesting object from one of my dad's glass-front bookshelves and handling it for long periods just enjoying the colors and textures and taking in everything about it, imagining scenarios about or within it (a carved ivory puzzle ball was a favorite, and a small carved landscape in a glass case), making up how it might be magical and what its properties might be. I would much prefer doing this than playing with others, and generally occupied myself on the playground by looking for lucky clovers or making flower chains or finding interesting bits of gravel or glass scattered about the ground because that was all that was available for me to play with that the other children wouldn't try to take or teachers wouldn't try to force me to use with other children.

This is a very neurodivergent kind of play. I very much share this with autistic folks. I can say, from within, iot is just as active and just as imaginative and just as appropriate as "normal" play. And it really pisses me off that these parents and "professionals" pathologize this mode of play as less advanced or whatever. Sorry not sorry but they could not even BEGIN to understand the nuances of bottle caps. They find bread clips boring!!!

Here's how this sort of thing always comes across to me, filtered through the lens of what I like.

"So the other kids can play house, a simple mimicry of the stuff they see everyday, or play dollies, reenacting things they have seen a hundred times. Yeah, they make up stories, but they insist on physically acting them out and vocalizing continually, and they often need help from peers to fully achieve an appropriate level of imagination. They can't keep it self-contained. That's really not very introspective, and it isn't developmentally normal to be so far behind their neurodivergent peers, many of whom are able to do these things without assistance. What can we really say about these neurotypical kids who haven't developed an intimate relationship with a plain wooden sphere or figured out how their little bowl of rocks relate to each other or discovered the optimal arrangement of their Lego bricks? If they can't spend even half an afternoon making domino art, how emotionally and imaginatively advanced are they, really? How involved with the world can they really be? Maybe we should punish them for not being able to sit still and stare at a glass fishing weight for two hours, or sort a bag of mixed beads without fidgeting and kicking their feet. Surely that would not harm them in any way, make them sick, give them trauma, or torture them."

See how fucking senseless that sounds?

I am not autistic but man do I have all y'all's backs, and all the kids' backs, on this because I fucking FELT IT. Every damn day. PLEASE just let me make a gradient from leaves and stop making me run around pointlessly after a ball with unpleasant topography.

destiny disappoints and makes me sad once again

[llycaons]

yeah I'm not lowering my standards to say fanfic counts as reading. I'm raising them. reading even books don't count as reading unless I deem them of high enough educational and literary quality

The barren Meadows, treacherous and malevolent, spreawl up to the horizon, the dried blades of grass, as tall as me, like claws trying to prey on the sun. I feel tired, I feel hungry. Hope the Road will show me some mercy...

Three of Roots

"Oy! Over here, fellow Traveler! Over here! I have something for you!" A young man is calling me some distance ahead, walking the Road in the opposite direction.

"The Fates! The Fates made so that we'd meet here at the very sharp edge of the Meadows! I've started this journey solely for this very moment; to give a gift to another Traveler! That's right it is my mission, my goal, my life! Please accept it!"

He geature for me to take whatever he has in his hand. What'll it be?

The Fates have Spoken...

It's the broken pieces of something... Splinters from someone else's Traveling Staff! Carved with curses and filled with malevolent intent! I turn to yell at the "Giver of Gifts" but it's gone... Only a bitter laughter in the cold wind and the feeling of something that's gone really badly... With fear in my heart, I toss the splinters aside and proceed, more wary this time of the potential dangerous entities I might cross paths with...

I do have a crush on you. Don't need to think about it. How can you not?? You're awesome, a wonderful person, and I mean.... Look at you -random geaturing- !!!!

it took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out “geaturing” was meant to be “gesturing”

Dragon Dreams

You know you’ve been listening to a lot of Wings of Fire and sympathyzing with the “scavengers” (humans) when you have a rather exciting dream wherein a research team captures some baby dragons (except THEY are tiny instead of HUMANS being tiny) and this lady takes over caring for them and figures out they are intelligent and teaches them some basic communication via geatures. (There was also a bit of hiding in the bathroom to interact with them in an open but confined space (as I do with my pets), and the shower coming on may have startled the dream dragons into multiplying from one dragon to three, but that’s dream logic for you.)

And then of course the government/organization who hired her steals them away because THEY certainly don’t think or want to think dragons are intelligent and not potential weapons, but is this lady okay with that??? OH no, she and her friends mount a rather daring rescue mission to hunt down the various eggs and live dragons, and there are some car chases involved, one with them chasing HER and one with her getting into the back of a moving supply truck and tossing groceries out the back until she found an egg. (There was also some disrespecting of that JERK guy who originally hired her and is on the business’s side and being a jerk trying to help stop her. He was so stuck-up and whiney.)

We were in the middle of sneaking into the attic space of a building the bad guys thought was secret and had just cut their power when I woke up. Best of luck to you in the rest of your rescue mission, dream lady and team!

There may have also been time travel and mountain climbing involved earlier in the dream, but that’s normal.

It's going to haunt me forever that Harrow only sent Gideon to the basement with Jeannemary and Isaac because she thought there was nothing there, and the real danger was Palamedes and Dulcinea. Her plan was to send Gideon and the children on a goose chase, then take both necromancers on by herself once they were safely out of range.

She was trying so hard protect them, to protect Gideon, and putting herself in danger to do it. and it backfired on her so spectacularly.

i clicked on my home button when on youtube and the video became small and went in my phones corner?! isnt this a paid geature?! but im not paying?!?!?!

[this-daydream-is-dangerous-13]

whatever happening rn is basically a revenge to the TR and HS thing, like Harry is not the only who's going out with someone who's so loved by his fans. This Travis and Taylor idea is being celebrated more than the TR and HS idea.

It's s rare to see people celebrating her bc of who she's with, so this is probably the best choice rn.

and honestly do we think that taylor would get back with harry RIGHT NOW that it's 1989 rerelease? I don't want people calling their relationship a pr again and harries sending death threats again to taylor.

I do believe it'll happen but maybe not for now. i see a vision in the future that we'll get them again but it won't be so soon.

I mean we already lose hope few years ago bc of Joe Alwyn but look at us now.

Before I get in to my response, Anon, I am going to lay out my basic operating theory (especially for HS and TS, both of whose fandoms I have inhabited for a long, long time): they are not so cruel and callous that they would concoct any relationship solely for PR. There is genuine interest or a willingness to try/see if they’re compatible with any person they “date” (or permit themselves to be romantically linked to) publicly.

But at the same time, sometimes these relationships are enormously helpful to the image of one or both parties. Both of these things can be true.

And so: maybe there’s some jealousy, some [middle finger geature] to YB and MH, some “look at me, happy too with someone new from my own birth year” to HS. All of that mixed in with her genuine interest and willingness to check this out with TK. And that last thing? Is the primary motivation here. TK and TS both want to explore this.

And it does not hurt her image at all. Which is an enormous, welcome change after the MH reaction in May.

I think that H’s weird seeming reluctance and unease when with TR, with whom he has now been strolling, etc. for over 3 months, is making their pairing less popular/more questioned. But she is a solid, not cringey romantic option for him right now, as I have said all along. She is not his BOSS whose family fractured in pursuit of him.

And I agree: there was never a chance that Haylor would be together publicly during the 1989TV promo period. So many would doubt their authenticity, and like they would want that level of scrutiny.

And who knows what the future holds, except for more amazing music!

Thanks for the ask.
