Thanks to the generosity of Megan McLaughlin, Ed Dupree, Cinja & Kimberly...

I've made a lot of progress toward this vital goal. But still a little over $200 shy of restoring our car.

If you've enjoyed my recent posts... and can help me out... I'd sure appreciate it.

Hello, incredible community! Johnny Profane here with a humble request. AND, some well-deserved shoutouts at the end.🌟

Each day, I pour my heart into my work... to be a voice in our autism journey. Basically, cuz I gotta. That's special interests for ya...

But now, I’ve hit a snag.

Our car, my lifeline in this rural Owensburg, is crying for help.

We were so fortunate... family members Zach & Sky GAVE us the van. Our Odyssey's absolutely neccessary to survive. At least in the country village we chose to support my autistic sensory need.

But we're facing brakes & tires. Which ain't cheap. I’m staring down a $500 bill.

Plus Christmas is coming for the family. Kimmie has 7 extraordinary kids. And then there's the 17 grandkids showing more and more signs of extraordinary every day...

If you've found a friend in my words, consider lending a hand. It’s more than just money; it’s keeping our dream of an autistic community alive.

You guys make MY dreams come true. Every day. In my freaking 70s.

It's my raw hope, I help make one or two come true for you by sharing my lived experience.

I’m forever grateful for your past support. Together, we're more than just a community; we're a family.

With your help, we can continue this amazing journey. Thanks for being the stars in my night sky.

Big shoutout to EVERYBODY for always being there. And making AutisticAF Out Loud a reality!

#ActuallyAutistic

#AltText
The title "Autistic Galaxy" adds a layer of meaning to the image, emphasizing the rich and intricate inner universe often experienced by individuals on the autism spectrum. The cosmic scene within the silhouette suggests the depth and vastness of the autistic mind, filled with unique patterns of thought and perception. The intermingling of celestial bodies and mechanical elements could symbolize the structured yet expansive nature of autistic cognition, where logic and imagination coexist in harmony. The flow of ideas and thoughts might be represented by the comet-like streams, illustrating the dynamic and continuous movement of an autistic individual's internal universe. This image could be seen as a celebration of the diversity and complexity of the autistic experience, encapsulating the beauty of a perspective that encompasses both the analytical and the creative.

Tentative title, "Disabled Warrior".

Tentative podcast title, "Actually Autistic? Whatever Doesn't Kill Your Neurodivergent Ass..."

But I need my wife;s input before I get too married to it....

The nice thing about digital art is it never has to be finished. On this one I got too deep into the image. There's a lot going on you can't see cuz the midtones are too dark...

The non-gendered warrior SHOULD be creating themself (to coin language) out of and battling dark chaos, a bright spark headed toward a dim light... they never know if there's a goal...

Plus they wear a blindfold like Lady Liberty.

In the chaos behind them are dim objects of adversity... chains, car wreck, wheel chair, a fallen dove... others I probably forget ...

Working on the post...

@actuallyautistic @actuallyadhd @actuallyautistics

"Friedrich Nietzsche Ist Untoter..." A fantasy 19th-centure book illustration of Friedrich Nietzsche, vandalized by a bright red grafitti x. Next to his name, Friedrich Neitzche in the book plate, black spray-painted grafitti reads "ist untoter..."

johnnyprofane1,
@johnnyprofane1@neurodifferent.me avatar

@GreenRoc @actuallyautistic @actuallyadhd @actuallyautistics

The second image is a sophomoric joke. I hope it will make sense in context. Friedrich Nietzsche is the philosopher who wrote, "Whatever doesn't kill me makes me stronger."

I take strong exception to Toxic Positivty in the post I'm writing. The phrase "Friedrich Nietzsche ist untoter," means he's "undead." Like a philosophical zombie...

I made it grafitti, cuz, well, Banksy blows my mind.

johnnyprofane1,
@johnnyprofane1@neurodifferent.me avatar

@GreenRoc @actuallyautistic @actuallyadhd @actuallyautistics

Starts like this...

"#Poverty does not breed nobility of character. Or humility. It just breeds hunger of body & soul.

#Trauma does not breed compassion. Just pain. And the spreading of pain.

#Disability does not secretly empower you with courage & persistence. It just limits what you can do.

Toxic Positivity is a modern cultural plague. It just keeps you buying stuff. And working harder and harder... to buy more stuff.

Religion for consumers.

This kind of positivity is not spiritual. Or uplifting. Just one more yardstick measuring my failures. Inspiring movie by inspiring movie.

What doesn't kill you? Does NOT make you stronger. Not often enough. It just doesn't kill you. Breath after breath... after breath.

The difference between Strength and Misery?

Not a choice. But it is very real.

Honor it.

This is a raw, unfiltered truth. Many of us who are autistic... live it. But we don't talk about it.. much. At least not out loud. Not with typical folks. Not among other neurodivergents, either. Maybe not even to ourselves.

I don't know about you. But I mask a secret shame in colors of anger, resentment, regret.

Why? TV, Hollywood, the damn New York Times Best sellers list...? Together, media create our social mythology. Championing only the lifestyles of effective people. Ya know, folks who turn out tons of widgets. And consume mass quantities while flicking screens...."

Dear marketers seeking LinkedIn connections...

And I don't mean the usual "I can get you 3000 followers over nite" suspects...

I mean the "sincere" ones...

I may not be your best prospect.

I have a personal thing about...

  1. New connections whose first DM asks for a favor, donation, participation in research, editing or writing help, promoting your pet project...

Or the earnest developer who requests that I test drive a product you're SURE will help disabled folks. For money.

Most especially, folks targeting , and other 's.

  1. I don't like folks making money off my autism. And I don't enjoy transactional social relationships... especially those masquerading as some noble purpose.

I usually just block. But I'm getting sick of it.

This morning's DM finally brought this response from me.

"Honestly I don't try freemium apps that don't outline features for trial, paid, and free versions.

"I understand the value to you of any user's trial... marketing, user data, beta testing.

"I need to understand the value to me.

"That said, it sounds like a valuable app. Wish you luck."

And removed our connection.

Have some sensitivity when marketing to disabled folks, shall we?

Btw, no answer from neurodiverse huckster. Probably busy posting hundreds of DMs to y'all.

.

Dude went totally narcissistic on me. I'm rude & dismissive. Like I owe him trying his product...?⁉️

No clue how to market to folks.

Text begins:
"Autism? It's a State of Being. NOT an Identity Group.

You are born autistic.
There's no initiation fee.
No secret handshake.

And you don't need anyone's approval to be autistic. It's not like they can kick you out.

Maybe… they won't let you sit at their lunch table. But you're used to that. Right?

Just. Do. You.

Seems obvious. Or is it just me? Cuz…

I feel a growing pressure to conform.
Today, it's the healthy demand avoidance side of me speaking. My built-in "authenticity filter," screening out anyone who casts shade on my individuality. With hidden motive.

See, I tend to… well, go nuclear meltdown around demands for conformity.

Whether from medical pros who diagnose me… defective. Helping pros who counsel… that I become more like them. Or even autistic advocates who define proper language… and correct attitudes… to "unite our people."

Look… I cannot handle pressure.
That ain't gonna change… this autistic lifetime...

No code of conduct. No approved language. No secret handshake.

You don't need anyone's approval to be .

It's not like they can kick you out. Just... not let you sit at their lunch table.

You're used to that.

Do you.

It's the healthy demand avoidance side of me speaking. I tend to get bitchy around demands for conformity.

Like I need to adopt a new mask. At my age.

@actuallyautistic

Some points came up on other platforms. Thought I 'd share.

No additional context. Just my comments to raised questions:

We're into semantic and philosophical waters I'm not good at negotiating in back and forth texts...

There are differences between a group organized by a limited shared factor, a personal identity and an immutable state of being. Differently defined by psychology, spirituality, sociology, political theory etc.

Leopard can't change his spots. But may have some control over whether is a dick. Or agrees to swear loyalty and follow the rules of his Leopard Club.

I offer no advice to anyone. That's not part of my identity.

I write about my values. It's not a matter my narcissism. But rather my respect for other sentient beings.

I'm asking a few folks questions once in a while? May I ask you?

On my mind may be minor... But well decisions are hard for me.

I can experiment with translating my posts into most other languages thru AI. But it costs... so I'd like to experiment with one.

My writing is pretty idiomatic to American English. If I were to try to reach an under-served non English population... do you have any ideas which language might be a good choice to try?

Hindi? French? Spanish? I'd like to reach a large population that could use material aimed at adult autistics, parents, educators, employers, folks wondering if they are Neurodivergent... overlapping a great deal with ADHD.

Spanish might translate well. Close relationship.

I'm a little deeper in my experience than this. I am actually with this post hoping to find a native speaker to share with when I try a sample text.

Fear, anxiety, hope… I’m overwhelmed by the USA. Art is how I deal.
The USA's political climate is a sensory overload for me. Ever felt like you're navigating a labyrinth of emotions? You're not alone. Explore this piece to find your way.

The Emotional Palette of Politics
Twisted sensations, mixed emotions, all captured in intricate detail.
"Portland Nights 2020" is more than art; it's my autistic lens on the chaos of the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests in Portland. As a member of a disabled minority, their pain and anger resonate deeply with me. Intrigued? See for yourself.

The Art of Digital Illusion
Digital art enables me to bring this chaotic, nightmarish scene to life, capturing the complex emotional states of its subjects.
The world is in chaos. Art is my refuge. Ready to dive into this visual narrative? Take the plunge.

The Politics of Overwhelm
This isn't just a tableau; it's a touchstone for dialogue about true empathy, nuance, and the full human emotional spectrum—the stuff no one talks about. Out loud.
Interested in exploring the intersection of autism and politics? Let this political mural crystallize your passion.

This digital tableau is a visual journey from disbelief to relief, and finally, to a chance for autistic joy. It's a call to reclaim your birthright to happiness. Intrigued?

The Scene
A human figure sits in lotus pose, reflected in a serene pond at dawn or dusk. The dark, moody background contrasts with the bright halo illuminating the center. Ready to dive into your own reflection?

Why Fantasy Illustration?
The medium allows me to explore the complex emotional landscape of late-diagnosed autism, capturing the struggle and the relief in a single frame. It's a raw, poignant experience.

Beyond Wall Art
This isn't just art; it's a manifesto for embracing autistic joy. Can you see it sparking crucial dialogues?

The Underlying Message
For those who appreciate layers, this piece questions the societal norms that often stifle our joy. And to question the emotional labor often demanded in conforming to societal norms. Ready to challenge the status quo?
