Hi, I'm a painfully neurodivergent and chronically underemployed pan nb, a father to twins, and between jobs. Today I'm trying to gather up about $50 for medicine and dog food.
I'll forever remember and be thankful if you are willing to lend me your support or buy some of my music. I also take gameplay requests (at no cost). Every penny goes directly toward surviving hard times. My handles are below. Pics are of my dog, Biscuit and her handiwork; foot for scale.
Thank you for hearing me out.

Hey friends and neighbors!
I didn't want to do this, but the cat scratch I just got in my forearm has prompted me to ask for some help.
I am trying to raise $65 for my cat's medicine in a safer-to-administer form, for the next 5 weeks.

My cat Machendra just had a dental surgery, and is now going to be taking small amounts of prednisolone daily for 2 months.
I spent basically my last money for now, buying the oral liquid that the vet said would be accepted if I mixed it in a treat. HA! Mac is impossible to administer oral meds to. I just tried for the third time, and I know all the kitty-holding techniques. It's hopeless, he gets violent.
I don't want him to feel stressed and miserable everyday. I called the pharmacy and they said they could make a transdemal gel I could put in his ears instead, for $65.
I don't have that money, I just put everything into helping my housemate prep for her trans bottom surgery (she left for the appointment in Charlottesville today!).
Can anyone help me with this $65 please? He can't skip a dose. It gets delivered right to the house in a couple days. 🙏
ANYTHING would be appreciated by me and the cat. Boosts are welcome as well. Thank you! 💜

I was and still am a "picky" eater. Everything plain, except for BBQ and cheese sauce. I've never eaten ketchup, mustard, or any of the condiments and sauces most people like, aside from when my order was wrong and I didn't check before I bit into my sandwich. Lesson learned.
One day, it hit me that it's probably unusual to have eaten like that for 40 years. I'd never thought much about it until after I was diagnosed.

It still frustrates the Hell out of me that medical descriptions of autism rarely mention sensory issues. They seem to only focus on outward appearance and behavior—how it affects everyone else, not how it affects us.
On a daily basis, the sensory issues are a bigger concern than anything else, but that rarely gets mentioned. It's so buried that many people don't even know that it is part of autism. That's probably why, to this day, people still only self realize very late in life.

Es ist Samstag und irgendwelcher Baulärm bei den direkten Nachbarn. Ist normal hier im Ort.
Dummerweise stresst mich das so, dass ich schier einfriere. Ich bin also „festgeklebt“, wo auch immer ich gerade bin. Das kann locker mal ne Stunde dauern.

This is quite a sensible and measured article about using using self talk to regulate difficult emotions.
"In other words, the simple act of naming an emotion, rather than trying to think your way around it or push it away, appears to be associated with a calmer amygdala response."
"... how people frame their internal dialogue, specifically, whether they use first-person language (“I feel anxious”) or shift to using their own name or “you” (“Kate, you’re feeling anxious right now”).
This shift is known as distanced self-talk, "
" distanced self-talk appears to support emotion regulation through a different pathway than effortful cognitive control, which may be part of why it can feel easier to access under stress than trying to consciously reason yourself out of a feeling."

Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 1060 , Tuesday 22/09/2026
Tuesday started just after 7am when I gave up trying to ignore the screaming kids next door.
It’s been a busy little day, I cleaned the bathroom & mopped the floor in there, cleaned the extractor fan too - it gets a bi-annual seeing to to keep it running smoothly.
Also cleaned the multi-sensor for the weather station, sadly the annual autumnal influx of spiders seems to have completely done for the temperature sensor so I have got a couple of Switchbot™ external temp / hygrometer meters instead. Not as good but far cheaper & they hook up to the phone so that should be helpful.
I tried out one of the new mini work lights that I got in Costco™ when I was sorting the extractor fan out - they are fabulous - really effective!
Final Thoughts.
Not a bad day, the only downside was that I went a little wild with the sweet stuff that I got from Costco™ - I knew I would - I should have resisted buying them! Hey ho, will have to work extra hard in the gym!
Thank you to all those who are helping me on this journey, in a myriad different ways. I am thankful to each & every one of you! 🫂 🫶🐿️🖖

I've been waiting for the last 3 weeks to receive an email notification that the other party has completed their part so I can move forward to the next steps of a specific process and still nothing.
I feel like I'm stuck in a perpetual waiting mode 🙁
#actuallyAutistic
Apparently some Anthropic researcher is going around explaining LLM language tendencies and styles by comparing them to autistic people.
Unacceptable. *Very* not cool.
We've already had enough of this crap, being compared to computers and robots. We aren't fucking language models. We are living, breathing, multifaceted *human beings* who happen to have a different wiring plan than the majority of other human beings. Learn the fucking difference and stop comparing us to automated, unfeeling, unthinking, non-conscious, unnuanced, unnatural systems.
