       @Pathfinder @lmgenealogy @autismsupsoc I'm 47. I've had on multiple women who had ND kids ask me if I had been diagnosed. But then when I asked the psychiatrist I saw for ADD if I could be on the spectrum, the dismissed it out of hand. This was four or five years ago, and he's since retired. So, he was old. He also had a significant pediatric practice. I recently asked my GP for a referral to someone to get an official dx, even though I don't think it will really mean much at this point one way or another.

       I impulse bought this on Etsy before noticing that "grok" is misspelled. This was a rallying cry for the fans that organized to save #startrek from cancellations in the late 60s. #Grok is a verb from #sciencefiction meaning to personally resonate with or identify with something on a deep level. I don't understand why more people aren't talking about how #neurodiversity has been constructed in popular culture. Just, look--> it's a bunch of weird, shy, obsessive nerds self-organizing around a character whose whole thing is his utter, unfailing devotion to his friends and being unable to correctly express it in the way that you're *supposed* to. Ow, pressure in my head is squeezing out liquid from my eyes.

       That's what it really means to grok Spock; it's to recognize him as a fellow #neurodivergent.

       @gmcgath I think I started reading that but never finished it.

       @brosandprose Oh my goodness yes. I strongly hope that William makes some pretty significant changes.

       #Google is now effectively useless as a means of finding information on the web. Its first priority is to deliver ads, not information. Its default assumption is that every time you search for a thing, you're intending to purchase that thing or other similar things. The internet needs to be shut down, torn down, and reassembled from the dirt up.
