Dating apps are rarely truly free and track a lot of shit. Been thinking about setting up a good old fashioned phpbb forum for #queer and #neurodivergent #dating in the UK. I've experience with this from back in the day as I created and ran a number of very popular online forums including parenting, pagan, and Lost fan forums. Could be an interesting project at the very least. We need more old school ways of making connections that are data tracking free, moderated, free to use, not reliant on phone app shiz, and completely AI free! It wouldn't be fancy algorithm matches and swiping, just people chatting and making connections. Sounds good right?

“What do I eat?”

  • A hungry neurodivergent individual, standing in front of their fridge.

Having the meal with the most steps be expected when you’ve depleted your stores for the day and the medication is wearing off is a daily whoozy :neocat_googly_blep:

Why is it so difficult for autistic people to find friends and partners? I read some post about this during the last days and here are my thoughts on the topic. The short answer is that it not because there’s something wrong with us. It’s because we are a minority group, we are very different from each other and have limited options to find each other. These factors are strongly intertwined. Yes, we are not perfect, unresolved trauma, masking and internalized ableism play a role and we all have to work on it. But at a certain point we cannot do this work on our own, we need other people to practice what we learned, to create new data for our nervous system and if we do not have these people, we are trapped in a vicious circle of burnout and loneliness. This brings me to the second point, our limited options. Many of the autistic people around my age (I am in my 40s) who are similar to me, are probably also in a similar situation. They are either trapped in poverty or a relationship they don’t want to be in. They do not live, where they want to live, they are not able to travel or even leave the house for longer than an hour. Many of them don´t even know that they are autistic. So, there are limited options to meet each other. I go outside with Beagle Lumi every day, but in my conservative neighborhood, I won’t find my people. I can get along with them, but they are not my people. And online? Dating apps are overwhelming asf and the autistic people similar to me will think that too, so I won’t find my people there. Realistically, I have the best chances to find my people here on Mastodon. But most of us have rejection sensitivity and are so burnt out, that reaching out to a new person is not an easy thing. We do not have the energy for it. Then there are our differences. We experience the world intensively, we didn’t go to an autistic kindergarten, nobody explained to us how to cope with this world. As a consequence, we are not only very different concerning our needs and special interests, but we are also very different in our coping strategies. During the last years I had several chats, friendships, even intimate relationships with other AuDHD people online. Most of them were not suitable for a long-term relationship, because of our differences or difficult circumstances and that’s ok. But they were enriching my life, they made me grow, they were inspiring and validating. Realizing that you are not a good fit can be hurtful and frustrating, getting to know new people takes a lot of energy and we are already low on energy. But it’s amazing how much energy connecting with another AuDHD person can give you, it made me and the people I connected with feel decades younger and so happy. I found the best friend one could wish for here on Mastodon. So, I will continue to write these posts, encouraging people to chat with me and I do not feel ashamed for it. I am done with feeling shame for having to deal with being a multiply marginalized person in unconventional ways. #ActuallyAutistic #AuDHD #neurodivergent @autistics@fedigroups.social

I like a bit of darkness. I am not afraid of shadows. I started reading Stephen King at the age of 13. No Hogwarts for me. Maybe therefore I am the right kind of crazy instead of the wrong kind of normal. #queer #neurodivergent #books

Reminder: You don't get to claim the title of "ally". It's something bestowed (or not) by the people you are *trying to* ally with. Ally is a verb, not a noun. It's something you *do*, and have to keep repeating, for it to count. And only the people you're trying to help get to decide whether you succeeded. #ally #progressive #lgbtq #lgbtqia #disabled #disability #advocacy #neurodivergent #PoC #minority #feminism

:boost_requested: EMERGENCY mutual aid for April PLEASE HELP, 3 DAYS LEFT (630/800) It's me, JJ, hi. I'm raising money for healthcare and food - the single disability check pays for our family's utilities and nothing more. I am intersex, queer, visibly disabled, biracial, schizophrenic, and probably at least a few other things that society frowns upon. Our house is falling apart, we have no hot water heater, and I'm very immunocompromised. We need $170 more to survive this second half of April - This includes doctors, prescriptions, basic medical supplies, and groceries. You can help! First there's Paypal. It's fast, and you can even send just a couple of dollars. Any amount helps. https://paypal.me/ramavabray And then there's Patreon, where our music and art and such go. You can see all the projects going on. Did you know I've been slowly working on writing enough music to be considered an album this year? Maybe I'll succeed! https://patreon.com/ifwhen So please help. Give if you're able, and boost. We're really struggling and need your help. You're saving our lives. Thank you for reading, and I hope you have a great day. @mutualaid@fedigroups.social @mutualaid@ovo.st #disability #MutualAid #MutualAidRequest #IndigenousMutualAid #TransMutualAid #TransCrowdFund #DisabilityCrowdfund #neuroDivergent #ActuallyADHD #ActuallySchizophrenic #LGBTQIA #poverty #SettlerSaturday #DisabilityMutualAid #TransCrowdfund #HelpFolksLive2026 #DisabilityMutualAid #Queer #QueerMutualAid

It has been a little bit since I posted this PSA, but it needs to be said again. 1) Some ppl's neurodivergence make it impossible for them to alt text. 2) Gatekeeping fedi by refusing to include them is ableist. "But Dio how do we know they're ND?" You don't So treat everyone kindly. Assume good intent. And don't exclude anyone. If alt comes easy for u, offer yo help instead of being ableist. "But there are tools that they can use..." It is not your place to try to force them to fit in. #AltText #NeuroDivergent #Ableist
