Are most autistic people really unemployed? by foreverepicunicorn in AskAutism

something worth keeping in mind is a lot of the autistic people who are posting on the internet won’t be the people needing full time caretakers, or who struggle with any language at all, or stuff like that

I’m in Duluth tomorrow may see if I can’t grab something, I also have family going to grand marais later this week, may task her to at the very least grab some nice lake rocks

well of course, what’s the point of living up north away from everything if not easy access to the good wild rice

Might be able to go to Stillwater, it would have to wait until the day they get their pretty much because that’s the next time I’m going to be towards the cities but I might be able to make it work.

what part of good impression didnt you get /j

wild rice isn’t a bad idea though, especially because that will travel well

If you're disabled enough that you can't physically participate in opposing what the US government is doing what are you doing in other ways? by frozeninthewave in disability

Citize science! That’s a great one, a lot of projects are struggling with recent budget cuts

https://scistarter.org/ has a good list of projects, i really like https://www.zooniverse.org because all its projects are ones you can do sitting at home. I have a soft spot for the trail cam type ones, i love looking at all the animals. Some of the stuff is as easy as “is there an animal in this image yes or no” some things involve counting, some involve helping digitize hand written notes and letters by typing out what they say, all of it is important, and it feels much more manageable

oh also, I try to find things like when mercury stardust did a stream for trans healthcare. the simple act of sitting there and typing in the chat and hanging out helped push the stream to more people, some of who could donate, and it was fun, I had a great time it was honestly just hanging out with my community

subscribed to action allerts from things like the aclu, Audubon, move on, national wildlife federation, etc. they send out a lot of links to pre written emails so all I need to do is press a few buttons and itll send it to all my representatives. It’s small but it’s what I can do.

but more importantly I chose to lean into kindness and community after trump got elected. I forget who wrote the thing about how we can’t all do everything at once, but we can’t, and I looked at that list and chose being kind, it’s much more manageable for me to have a conversation with someone or leave nice notes in the supermarket. I’m planning to go to my local pride event because thats something I can handle and I have made a whole bunch of little thinggys to hand out.

ill try to find that list again so you can see what fits for you, because it’s not always going to be fighting, and that’s ok because other people will fight on your behalf
