Crime story set in Portugal, but it‘s not the usual holiday-read. A great set of inspectors (one autistic) and a good and clever storyline.

Freedom was the name for the dizzying power that lasted through her library expeditions. No pleasantries ever needing to be exchanged with the librarian on duty. Even the round clock at high noon on the wood-panelled wall had no claim on her. From the first second she entered the building she was in other times, other dimensions. She was other Naoises.

A reread (re-listen) for me. I felt I needed it.

Ten Steps to Nanette is a Netflix comedy standup special unlike no others, it‘s not comedy it‘s trauma dumping which punches you in the gut. This memoir was an extended version of that feeling mostly.

Just got home from my youngest son‘s Reg‘l Ctr annual appt. The SW usually comes to us, but I thought it would be easier to go there. When we got home, he did not know where we were. Because it was not a normal place he goes, in that 2 hours (incl commute) he had become so disoriented I had to take his hand to lead him. It reminds me that my kids are the people this admin hates. I never have the privilege to be non-political.

Leftcoastzen Hugs 🫂 to you and yours , such evil BS. 1mo
ncsufoxes 💓 , same here. I have 3 neurodiverse kids, 1 of which is Autistic. He‘s a smart kid but I don‘t think he‘ll ever be independent. I have to be political because they have made my kids lives political. When their ability to access services & programs is dependent upon funding or some politician having an ounce of understanding of what my life is like or the hoops that parents have to jump through, you have to be political. It‘s f-n exhausting 1mo

IriDas @lil1inblue Thank you. 1mo
IriDas @Leftcoastzen It is. And so unnecessary. 1mo
IriDas @ncsufoxes I have two autistic and one other with disabilities. It really is exhausting, isn‘t it? Between the politics and how evil the insurance companies are, I really have nothing left most days. 1mo
IriDas @willaful That‘s scary. It‘s already hard to get services. I used to think we‘d be safe in California, but CHLA is cowing to the admin over trans issues, what will they do now? Just dump all their Medicaid patients? And Newsom is recommending more cuts to disability services. Gotta keep the rich happy. (edited) 1mo
IriDas @CBee Thanks. It‘s all more than a bit too much today. Also, I think I accidentally deleted your comment. I was trying to edit mine and now yours is gone. :( do you mind reposting it? 1mo
CBee @IriDas sure! I was just offering solidarity as I also have an autistic child (11). Mentioned if you, @ncsufoxes and @willaful ever wanted to email about experiences I‘d be open and available ♥️ 1mo
IriDas @CBee that would be very nice. I do not have really any support, though I do have a few friends at work now who kind of get it. But it‘s not the same as people who know the long haul we are all in for. 1mo

Bookwomble ❤️♾️❤️ I'm AuDHD - Neurodivergent solidarity from Britain! ✊🏻 We get some of the same oppressive rhetoric and attacks on funding here, too. I'm lucky enough that I work in a job where I can offer some support to affected people. Sending you and your family virtual good vibes 💟 1mo

This was a really lovely middlegrade read. Ellen is on a class trip to Barcelona. She's Jewish, she's autistic, & she has a great dad. But she feels like her best friend is pulling away from her. When they get put on different teams for a group project, she has to learn how to make new friends & set boundaries in her relationships. There's also a new classmate who uses they pronouns, who makes Ellen think outside the binary categories shes used to
