Non-autistic ppl are often
unable to read
autistic expressions of empathy
as... empathy.
Who is the disabled person there?
Well, the norm says the autist...
but I say both!

Autism is a social disability because most people don't have empathy for the way we communicate... yet we're the ones constantly accused of lacking empathy. Make it make sense. 😒

We must always be aware that both secular and religious systems easily draw us in by the use of words and the glitter of power, calling us to serve the kingdom of man rather than the kingdom of God.

When we see how the Hebrew word "ezer" is used in the Bible, including how it's used in names, we see that being an ezer is not a gender role. And it is in no way an especially feminine role.

I tested Gemini with a subject I know really well... it immediately started filling out and talking nonsense. Invented. So I corrected it and asked it to learn. Then I asked again and it repeated all the previous invented errors, all of them.
When critizised, it stated it was only for conversation.

She realised her (working) kids won't be able to afford health insurance. (And she possibly resents not being chosen to become vice-president when she offered...)

Once hailed as the church of the future, Willow Creek is marking 50 years—a megachurch celebrating survival despite scandal and decline.

Church leaders say they're hopeful; yet critics contend the women who accused Willow's former pastor of misconduct remain shunned.

How your cat teaches you priorities:

Step up ON your person
Head butt the phone out of the way
Smell the face
Turn around
Smash your tail in their face
Lay down for morning pets

Having said the above...
I once fell asleep watching a movie at the cinema.😴
[I WAS exhausted so... well... it was the first Narnia movie (2005)]

It's normal. They measured the brain activity. Watching movies on a direct emitting screen (as opposed to watching it on a reflecting screen, like in a movie salon) activates same areas as when you are sleeping.

One more time: the brain activates as if you were sleeping!

So, if you fall asleep🤷😁

What NT's do not comprehend is that these needs ar not "more abnormal" than their needs. It's just that the society is built to meet their needs but not autistic needs.

Just take away or change some of these always present "NT needs" and watch the stress and total "explosions" that will follow!

25 years ago or so I attended a semester of "Christ in early art" with fr Pierre Gaugé op at UCLille.

Symbols and symbolisms in art... 🤔For ex. the Cross that we today see as an obvious christian symbol took a cpl of centuries or so to take prominence Other images were used instead. Fascinating!🙂

When you sit with a griever, your work is to be with them where they are, not drag them out where you are more comfortable.

I had a discission online with a trumpist the other day. I said they were throwing your democracy away. He responded that you were not a democracy, that I was an idiot for not knowing that. I don't think he even know what democracy is! With that startingpoint, you're doomed... 🤦

We must not assume that our family, church, community, country, or organization is always right just because the people in it use the right words. We must never agree to “protect” the name of God by covering ungodliness.
