  • On an unjoking note: it says “autism is the art of being different in a world that seeks conformity”.

    It’s…not an art. That would imply that we have a choice in the matter, when the only choice (arguably not a true choice in many contexts) is to suppress our inherent differences by masking or leave them on display.

    Autism is a shorthand for our brains being different from the norm in specific ways, with variability in the severity and coping mechanisms from individual to individual that means these differences range from “disorder” to “disability”.




  • Well that’s not worrying at all /s

    I’m mending some clothes for a friend and I might be getting better at darning? Maybe? My experience with darning is that it works to mend holes and then within a few wearings new holes develop along the edges of the darn. So I read a book about mending techniques and apparently you’re supposed to leave a little loop between each running stitch in a darn so that the loop is pulled rather than the original fabric when the mended fabric is placed under stress.

    The darn looks good so far. We’ll see how it holds up.
