And are you married?
I was married, but I'm not married anymore. Women don't like the vehicle.

Respect to George Harrison. If my guitar gently wept I would freak out.

Every once in a while a group of 10-15 tourists vanish without a trace in the Paris Catacombs and then afterward the Eiffel Tower is a few feet taller

My first computer was #ZXSpectrum 48K from John Menzies in May 1983. Next was a +2 from Dixons in '86. Then a #SAMCoupe in '93.

The SAM Coupe continues to be my platform of choice designing hardware, software and 'SAM Revival' mag -> www.samcoupe.com

But I do some ZX hardware too! zx.samcoupe.com

Ohhh... now that could be interesting. I used to know a similar one for the Rubiks pyramid. If you solve a side and then choose another to solve, and keep doing that, eventually the whole thing kind of solves itself.

I liked the first one in that series, but I'd completely forgotten they did that second part. It made so little impact on me.

👉 Maybe autism is evolution experimenting- expanding the range of what it means to be human.

Ages ago in my 1st job, I was able to figure out the file structure for an old word processor/database combo, by looking for patterns. It was ludicrously complex but I did it. It meant me and the boss could then write some software to access the files and add custom features he needed.

I can’t emphasize enough how useful being autistic is for academic research. In particular, the ability to make connections & spot patterns across large quantities of data. I feel like this is what my brain was made to do. #Autistic

Same here, I've had this cube for about 3 months and I'm too scared to go near it because it'll never be completed like this again.

You’re not unmotivated.

You’re overwhelmed.

You’re not “too sensitive”.

You’re attuned.

You’re not dramatic.

You’re dysregulated.

Language has been used to wound us.

It’s time we take it back.

Being autistic doesn’t make you a bad person.

I can’t say this enough.
