Hello!

I'm Cassian, I'm nonbinary (they/them) and I live in Wales. I mostly post about TV I'm watching, surveys I'm interested in, being neurodivergent, environment stuff, things I'm making, and spontaneous grumpy rants of little consequence.

I do the @gendercensus annually.

I first tried the Fediverse over 10 years ago, but didn't really get ensconced until the first wave of Mastodon in 2016.

As autistic people, our nervous systems tend to be more quickly overloaded with the sheer volume of information, which monopolizes the brain’s resources, and drowns out the brain's ability to engage in other activities.

I don't think fedi is doing it for me for connecting with people. Where else online do autistic peeps congregate? Got a favorite hangout? Lemme know!

“Furthermore, Autistic individuals have discussed how we may express empathy through sharing a similar experience or repeating scripts specific to a situation or feeling (Blanc et al., 2023). A non-Autistic person may misinterpret this as being self-centred. However, this may be related to how Autistic people tend to recall elements of an experience in an entire chunk, rather than isolate specific aspects of that situation (Blanc et al., 2023). “

I’ve been accused of one uping when I do this. But all I’m trying to say is, I get you.
