I have to say, I suspected this. Being honest. I said to myself, “What could run off Stamets,” and that’s exactly what I came up with. The benefit of being closer to 40 than 30 I guess.

Now to join your community. Thank you genuinely for commenting here for me to see directly. I’m not good at creating content (every time I ever got a burst of creativity on reddit I was banned for posting too much so I just stopped making memes) but I comment like a sumbitch!

He’s crepuscular!

They are explicitly complaining that there are several users posting content they don’t enjoy.

Don’t you know the entire fediverse is supposed to be cultivated to PatFussy’s personal taste?

Here’s hoping we see a response.

Autism can present in many ways and many “levels.” Are you talking about making all of your gnomes a specific, similar presentstion (ASD 1?) Or are you talking about specific stereotypes of autism? Are you talking about giving them all your very specific brand of behaviors associated with an autism diagnosis?

Because this is all important. If you’re making them all have racial traits that are like you, then I say, have at, but maybe don’t call it autism specifically, because you’re representing a specific type and others might feel unrepresented. Or if you’re making them all have behaviors we associate with a specific type of ASD, then make sure there’s room in there for them to present in their unique ways.

Example: All gnomes have ASD traits. Make a roll on a chart for all known associated behaviors, randomly assigning those traits. Maybe this gnome is bad at eye contact, but maybe that one is bad at eye contact and also hypersensitive to sound. Maybe this one is extremely interested in obscure music, or that one is really great at drawing.

There’s a lot to figure out but I think you can do it! If you want to. It’s cool to write things we’re familiar with but also to be true to our own experience. I have ADHD but my behaviors are very different from my ADHD boyfriend, and both our types are valid.

I love the way the smoke seems to be coming off of the top of it…

10/10 name! Are you a Name Rater?

Love that the blood is represented.

Period poops finally getting their horrible, horrible time to shine.

I really wish this was labeled with a warning. Scared the hell out of me.

I’m a pokemon breeder. You never get to fight me because I’m always telling you whether there’s an egg or not, but if you got to see my perfect IV, perfect EV, perfect nature team, every single one is shiny.

And a side effect of all that needless effort is that I’m frickin loaded.

My appearance is the Alolan girls’ (braids, cowboy hat, overalls).

Need a better, less kinky name for me though.

I’m in awe of the pylons.

Be good to you, friend. Hope we cross paths elsewhere.

If you do have ADHD then I’ll just hope your next hyper-focus is ADHD and it’s impacts and methods to mitigate it. Good luck!

That’s patently incorrect. Executive dysfunction, a hallmark of ADHD, often results in something called “task paralysis” wherein you’re unable to begin a task, even though it weighs on your mind.

The advice that a person could be exhibiting this symptom because of a different cause (such as depression) is true, but people with ADHD experience this issue at a higher frequency than their more neurologically typical peers, and if it’s a problem being caused by ADHD, and not depression, it can lead to depression as a comorbidity.

Out Cold, holy shit. What a deep cut.

So now you do admit it’s a disability, and instead of fucking off, you move the goalposts to how everyone here should verify their medical history for you?

Get bent. Seriously. Nevermind that I just replied to you upthread, I’m done with your ass.

How about instead of your obvious personal problems with this very real disability that I, and others, suffer from, why don’t you provide me with a scientific paper? A peer-reviewed study? Literally anything other than stating your feeling as fact?

I tell ya what. Tell me what country you’re in and I’ll provide evidence that it’s considered a disability there.

Bonus reply; I would know. I work for the Department of Developmental and Intellectual Disabilities caring for disabled adults. Knowing the ADA is actually my bread and butter.

But go off on why it’s not a disability.

ADHD is considered a disability (in the US) under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Which is why a person with an ADHD diagnosis is allowed to ask for reasonable accommodations.

The more you know.

I wanna show this guy that 79-year-old lady’s post screaming, “You mean laundry isn’t supposed to be agony?”

Jesus. What privileged behavior.
