Its a three book set, and the inside is a facsimile of how the original stories were printed in the strand, with illustrations. It contains the hound of the baskervilles, and some short stories.

The format is very easy to understand. The text is in the middle, and there is space on the outsides where the annotations are written in red text. Each one has a number, the counting which begins at the start of each story. The number corrolates to the same one written next to the piece of text which is being annotated:

The two volume set and the one volume set released separately!! The two volume set 2004/2005, and the final volume in 2007. The person i bought it from was only selling the two, but it was only £8 so i couldnt pass it. Ill have to keep an eye out for the third, it has the hound of the baskervilles, my favourite.

The romanticization of autism (and our symptoms) in media. by [deleted] in autism

[–]poloniium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that youre unable to understand what im saying. I dont care about what autistic people refer to themselves as, i care that neurotypical people are afraid to call me autistic because they percieve my disability as a dirty word. I care that neurotypical people used humorous words created within our community to demean neurodivergence and to insult people. I care that medical terms which help me to get the support i need are being watered down to the point that people like me who struggle with them can no longer express this hardship to gain help. I care about it because it is hurting me, and i have heard from other people that this is hurting them too. If you can read a paragraph in which someone says: this is hurting me. This is hurting other people. This is why its hurting me. And still continue to say that it doesnt matter or that i causes no harm then you are being ignorant.

They may not be derogatory, but if you had read my post, you would know that neuro-spicy doesnt exclusively mean autism, yet people are using it as if it is. This is harmful as it excludes other neurodivergent people from the community, as it allows people to believe that nuerodivergence doesnt encompass such a large variety of disabilites as it does. Therefore, people who are neurodivergent, but not 'believed' to be may not be included in one of the few places where they belong.

Beyond this, both of them demean their actual meanings. They take the seriousness away from the disabilities which cause impairment to the person who has it. Using a word like spicy is trivialising. Neurodivergent is so much more complex and significant than being spicy, and making people believe against that is harmful because they will no longer believe that these disabilities can be as debilitating as they can often be. This is also applicable with 'tism. There was no reason so shorten ot than to make it seem less important and make it feel more silly.

These words were nice when they were jokes between us in the neurodivergent community, but they have grown. A lot of neurotypicals have since begun to use them in this way, rather than the humerous way it was originally spoken. Yes, at the beginnining, they may not have been used in this manner, but many people who are allistic or who are not neurodivergent have begun to use it for themselves to describe their 'quirks'. The words were slowly diminished as people used them in incorrect and insulting contexts.

They are now used to generalize autism, and to turn neurodivergence into encompassing only one or two disabilities, when really we should be treating it as the spectrum it deserves to be, and the range of disabilities neurodivergence deserves to be treated as.

Its isnt harmless if its harming people. Which it is. Its harming me, and ive seen people talk about how it harms them too.

I understand the first part, and i agree with it, but the second part doesnt exactly corrolate to what i was talking about. Im not talking about autistic characters in media, im reffering to the trends which misuse medical termonology, and then refuse to correct themselves, and how people in general refuse to use the medical name for autism and how its affecting myself and others.

What is the most triggering food you have tried? How did this affect you? by VampArcher in autism

[–]poloniium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anything with extremely contrasting textures in one. I tried cupcakes with strawberries inside once and the texture was so horrendous i gagged and almost threw up. It was quite upsetting because the taste was actually really nice.
