"...The word “autism” is composed of two parts, “aut” and “ism.” The prefix of the word is “aut,” which comes from the Greek word “autós,” meaning “self.” The suffix “ism,” also from Greek, implies a state of being or condition. When I looked at the prefix and suffix of the word combined, I found that the word “autism,” in its purest form, means “a state of being oneself.".. Wowsers! Yes. Thank You. ♡ 🧡 ♡ #Autism #ActuallyAutistic #AutisticActually #ASD #etymology #WordsAreCool https://www.jewishboston.com/read/etymology-of-the-word-autism/

@benroyce@mastodon.social Why did they stick their fingers in Elephant's nostrils?!!

@aceofcosmicspace@lgbtqia.space @mutualaid@fedigroups.social Definitely wishing you all the best possible outcomes next week (and always.) Also, Have you seen Chicken Little? 🤭

@fenex33@mastodon.social @pezmico@mastodon.nz Ok. I don't see this as shaming anyone. It seems a call to action, rather than simply being idle/*neutral*. I comprehend the concept you're putting forth. I greatly dislike when people are shamed for their particular level of involvement, especially in political arena. I didn't receive this sentiment as such. Thanks for explaining your view.

@fenex33@mastodon.social @pezmico@mastodon.nz And so your point is what?

@flipper@mastodonapp.uk @dgar@aus.social That's what I thought to post. Tickled You thought similarly. Wooooo!

@philleu@mastodon.social I don't understand this response. I've never thought to do this to an Elephant and wouldn't ever do so - it obviously didn't seem to bother them but that is weird and out of place for the video to me, and seems horribly wrong regardless if They don't mind. Also thought this be AI - is it? I just don't get the point or why it's funny (of folks think it is) or why it's part of this particular clip or why it's acceptable. Me putting my own fingers in my own nose doesn't have any correlation to this clip for Me. Guess I will research some more, per usual. Thanks.

@Bubotomy@mastodon.social I wonder if I'd truly be happy/happier/happiest if I did something similar... *knows full well I can't survive on my own... big sigh. 😅

@Godyssey@pagan.plus Why would He be still? Is it meaning that he feels a ghost nearby and freezes or something? And, what about the ears? Perceiving sound causes the tympanic movements and therefore the ghosts see said ears and....? I'm also certain these stories have more - ethereal (chuckle) - meanings and I am quite a literal thinker at times + don't mean to be difficult + love these stories, lore, and learning of other cultures' fables and what not and adore Your posts here. ❤️‍🔥

@sasutina13@lgbtqia.space I think they aren't the same concept. Considering being Autistic as including being self-aware isn't incorrect, of course... 🤷🏽

@dgar@aus.social Oh how lovely that men replaced one outlet (women/sex) with such another delightful one (alcohol.) What a bizarre song and notion, but good for Neil for making the concept of lonely men such an upbeat and catchy hit song....

@aceofcosmicspace@lgbtqia.space Well done. Inspiring hope to Me ( Oh how I'm struggling in every area of every thing but not the point. ) Welcome! You seem a refreshing addition to this space (which I am fairly new to and still don't have a handle on and have stopped utilising handles altogether so wheeeeee!) Happy for You. Also, BABY!!!! (Grogu 🐸🚫💫🌌) ahem. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

@benroyce@mastodon.social @philleu@mastodon.social What part of this SEEMS horribly wrong is not an honest opinion?? I saw something that seems wrong to me and asked for more information to clarify because I could be wrong about the situation and then I get called a Troll and drama maker?!!! Why? It seems to me that you're the one blowing everything out of proportion when a person simply asked a question and you expect me to be a troll and you expect that I'm making fun of you and you expect that I'm being cretinoilus person when I am just struggling to understand and now it has gone Way Beyond anything that it should! Please leave me alone and maybe do more research of your own on Neurologically different and trauma brains, inquiring, responses, but more than that maybe not assume that someone is attacking you when they are disturbed by something you posted and ask about it that's why I asked oh my goodness

@Godyssey@pagan.plus Oh thank you for spending your time expounding (for me); what a fascinating tale. This also has further illuminated for me the ways in which I think and how I can become hung up on certain details, losing the aspects of perhaps whimsy, fable, Magick.. the extraordinary. ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🔥

@Godyssey@pagan.plus Thank You for responding, and with such as you did! 😄 It indeed is the story itself that seems to not have its mind made up about its own facts. However, I also struggled (still struggling? 😬🤔🥴) with the what and why regarding the apparent imposed separation, especially given that initially it didn't read as Polyamoury or cuckoldry [neither practise seems obvious here to Me as there doesn't seem to be any consent or communication about anything, and folks are just cheating on their respective spouses 🤷🏽, but perhaps CNC was their thing?!] I'm just not comprehending, if ___ doesn't care if their spouse has lovers or one other lover, then why intervene at all? It isn't clear to Me if say, things were ao overwhelming that first ___ couldn't deal with things anymore, or, it was becoming publicly known and their status/image etc couldn't have that, or, if real jealousy arose, or, if this were just a final and very poor "solution" to the issue.

@raphink@hachyderm.io @autistics@fedigroups.social I am extremely interested in how this concept/reality affects Autists with regard to mortality and the ultimate existential consideration. If so inclined, please share Your thoughts, experience on this.

Bonus info for #TuneTuesday #JumpUpandDown #Music #MusicHistory "Jump Out of the Fire" (A View to a Kill Demo) (1985) – The earliest rough studio recording and demo version of the official James Bond theme song. Before the lyrics were changed to the iconic line "Dance into the fire," the original chorus line was built around "Jump out of the fire." I do love this song, and have often thought of the lyrics being 'Jump- Into the Fire!' knowing it wasn't. Today I learned of the above unrecorded early version and I'm shaking my head in agreeance and understanding. 🤘🏼🎶 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HTj8EoVNqhw&pp=0gcJCWQCo7VqN5tD

@ahhhhhhhhhhh@mastodon.social What's the point FOR YOU to take a gummie before/on a run?

Being misunderstood, thought of as [endless negatively applied things but Including rude And a troublemaker and sarcastic and trying to bait or shame people] when simply wanting more information and clarity, and to learn about things, IS GODS DAMNED EXHAUSTING and so disheartening. I don't want to make anyone feel poorly. Certainly not the ways I feel most of the time just for trying to exist, make connections, make sense of things. Hell yeah I'm crying AND angry AGAIN. Welcome to Me. Don't touch anything. Take a book, leave a snack.

#AlternateFridayMusic #Breakup These two songs came to my mind immediately despite not including the exact word "breakup". https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DMgVS2j05HA https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pTgaD3pwRTc

#TuneTuesday #JumpUpandDown Grover again https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=y4vGCC1bnL4

@benroyce@mastodon.social @philleu@mastodon.social Also, why did you start following me if you have such an issue with my questions? This doesn't sit well with me and as someone who is mostly afraid to ask questions for clarity because of this very sort of unnecessary and icky feeling backlash, I feel anxious, nauseous and terrible and don't want mote enemies just because I wanted yo UNDERSTAND something and asked about it.

@pathfinder@beige.party Hmmm, I don't remember writing this post...🤔😇 We have these things in common, I'm afraid, and this read like MY life. I like the description/comparison of Schrodinger's theory, which also makes complete sense to me (and also sparked a glint of glee.) If you're ever in the market, mood, possession of said spoons to swap stories, medical issues then and now, or whatever else, I'm around and would welcome some discussion and or chatter. I do wish you well AND thank you for sharing.

@aceofcosmicspace@lgbtqia.space @mutualaid@fedigroups.social @AnthonyJK@mastodon.redgarterclub.com I open Masto and see "Support Ace" and I was like, hell yeah, I already support Asexual folkx and lemme see what this is abou-- ohhhhhhhhhhhhh I haz none of the monies, sorry, but I still support *this* Ace, hope that's cool too. 😋😁❤️‍🩹

@ahhhhhhhhhhh@mastodon.social Sure; I'm a Canna advocate and sometime medicinal user, as well as one who's experienced heavy gym exercise and the resultant *highs* (though not from running.) And I just wondered why indulge at the time of a run and not why take it at all 😇 NOMB any which way, of course, 😊, just wondering if the timing was directly related to physical pain affected by running, an injury perhaps, or even social anxiety etc. I don't mean to pry, but very interested in the timing/application in this instance and for others in general. #Canna4Lyfe 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

@philleu@mastodon.social @benroyce@mastodon.social Pardon?

@atarifrosch@fedifreu.de ❤️‍🩹

I didn't know people stayed on it longterm until I was an adult and my Aunt was almost always taking it due to MS symptoms/complications, and later, another Aunt who took it due to Lupus and other issues....

@drrjv@mastodon.social So what's Your take?

How might one go about getting in touch with lost friends when I've divested from the "mainstream" avenues (and they may have too)? I'm not wanting to download those apps or chase those previous/old accounts or start new ones. 🤔🤔🤔🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏻🤷🏽‍♀️

Pacific Sleeper Shark OR Bullet Bill? You decide! #Sharks #SHARKS!!! #SuperMarioBros #humour

My thoughts regarding common language as it pertains to Autistic People... Apparently, it isn't politically correct or most common to use the word *Autist* to describe an Autistic Person. I understand the broader implications, and of course, I myself do not wish to use any offensive terminology (for anything!), and want to comply in general with the evolution of terms, language as understanding changes. However, I rather like the term Autist. It seems regal to me, heh. Not to inflate importance, distract from anything, or 'soften social blows' F that, Y'all. Flutist. Linguist. Pacifist. Autist. These words Make Sense to Me. What word or words with regard to being an Autistic Person make sense to YOU? *cute Dandelion(s) rebelling against the lawn for tax.

Well, this certainly is a brand making an impression. Anyone reading this tried these?

@aperturememelabs@mastodon.social AI or not, I love the sentiment and the box of hex wrenches.

@Godyssey@pagan.plus Yes, ok - the missing piece for Me was the variation in interpretation and how 'this could be if this also was' - totally forgetting the dichotomous Being I myself am and that those concepts exist! Ha! It struck me odd at the time that one would make those moves [to keep lovers apart..] if they didn't mind and even delighted in the circumstances. Keeping the realm safe, not losing a love/lover/partner/Ruler of the land to another realm altogether - which of course would be seen as a vulnerability to and in the kingdom/queendom and could mean quite literally death of all - makes perfect sense.
