One stereotype about us is we like and . I'm a “yes” and a “no”.

I do like Prime numbers and Odd numbers:

  • 17
  • 13
  • 7

17 is very special.

  • 17 is the 7th Prime
  • 1 is an odd number
  • 7 is an odd number
  • 17 is an odd number
  • 1 + 7 = 8, although an even number, it symbolises infinity and eternity, and us

13 is also special.

  • A Prime
  • An Odd
  • A Fibonacci number

And depending on whom you ask:

  • The 8th Fibonacci number
  • The 7th Fibonacci number

Ironically:

  • The anniversary of my first romantic relationship was on: 1997-07-17. It was my first love who picked that, and she had no idea what my favourite numbers are.
  • My height is 175 cm or 5'75" to 5'85" (depending on whom you ask).
  • Favourite time of the day: 07:00 and 19:00 (7pm). 19 is the 8th Prime. (There's 8 again.)

And I'm . ^_^


How about you? What two stereotypes is you and not you?

I was once involved with a Math Savant. He was also a sociopath and not on the Autism Spectrum.
Cold, manipulative and intellectually sexy .
When a boy tells you he’s an Ubermensch and a Master and can quite Also Spract Zarathustra it’s time to run, don’t walk, to the nearest exit .
He has a fetish for domination via Infintesimals and Set Theory .

I like prime numbers too. 1973 is a prime number. I was born in 1973.

“Autism Awareness” vs “Autism Acceptance”

In a nutshell, based on what I experienced just now.

is people just being aware. Nothing else. They still don't understand .

On the other hand, is taking an effort to understand and to reach out. To work with.

One is harmful.

The other is win-win.

@youronlyone @autistics @actuallyautistic @autism IME, "Autism awareness" ends with the awareness that Autism exists. Nothing about how Autism actually presents in the world (especially among marginalized folx and women), how it feels, how an Allistic person might interact more effectively with their Autistic coworkers, family members and friends ...

So, this is what's happening to me:

It describes it as:
“Autistic burnout is a syndrome conceptualized as resulting from chronic life stress and a mismatch of expectations and abilities without adequate supports. It is characterized by pervasive, long-term (typically 3+ months) exhaustion, loss of function, and reduced tolerance to stimulus.” ~Raymaker et al, 2020

Typically the Autistic person in question will still have multiple demands in their life that require cognitive resources, despite having little to no resources left to give. Life goes on, as they say.

“Autistic Masking Is A Survival Mechanism Until It’s A Threat To Survival”

“It’s the environments we move in that need to change urgently”

A good read.
