I have finally found the very best graphic that shows the various interconnected parts that are NEURODIVERGENCE. I've been piecing bits of this puzzle together since I was 36 when I figured out ADHD. Many pieces later the final one is Autism. Explains all the missing pieces.

I moved the trail cam so it's closer to the birdies, 🦝🦝🦝 , Squawky🐓 & the squeeee mice 🐀🐀.
The orange & black bird 🐦 bopping around is a Spotted Towhee & white crowned sparrows flitting around.
I put out mealworms in front, wonder if anyone will eat them?

Orcas in Mexico are flipping young white sharks upside down to paralyze them. 🦈🧪
This move induces “tonic immobility”, a natural freeze response that renders the sharks temporarily helpless.

I can attest to how crippling sensory issues can be. Too much light, sound, wind can totally overwhelm me
I don't know who needs to see this, but sensory sensitivities due to brain wiring differences are disabling.
What I mean by this is that some people have brain wiring that creates sensory integration issues... which causes the brain to over respond to sensory inputs.

Retired professional nurse here: I worked damn hard on my education to get that Professional Nursing License!
I don't post political things but I do think this needs to be seen/known about, Nursing is a professional degree and if you think so too, perhaps you'd consider adding your name to this petition.... ana.quorum.us
Thank you (family is full of very professionally degreed nurses).

ALL MY LIFE people I've just met me told me * You're weird, strange, odd, DIFFERENT* & I've always been totally baffled why. *What? Do I have spots?*
Been putting the list together of why for last 45 years. Only added Autism to the mix last year.
I still don't get it. So I wear spots.

Raccoonosaurus and the other 'normal' sized raccoons.
Raccoonosaurus is main raccoon in 2nd photo.

I'd love to get some Hair/DNA from him to get more info. His size can't be due to eating ALL the food as other raccoons likely have same opportunities. Has to be a genetic component too.

Here’s a prompt for y’all:
You get to meet one of your ancestors from 500 years ago, and you must tell them all about one PLEISTOCENE species of your choice. What would it be and why?

I discovered that I'm feeding a family of racoons 🦝🦝🦝 + 🦝 when I set up trail cam a few weeks ago. I wonder where mine fit in the road to domestication? There's a heated water bowl to the left. They're preferentially eating sunflower 🌻 seeds. Go straight to it every night.

I think about it on a WEEKLY basis how to get better versions of this shot. I'd really hoped to get it this winter but I'm not sure when there's going to be time given my upcoming schedule.
Also I don't even own sneakers and a solid winter coat so...

Meet our newest patient here at the Alaska Raptor Center, a Northern Pygmy Owl named King Owlbert by his rescuers. Owlbert arrived with a drooping wing, making flight difficult. We’ve given him a supportive wing wrap, plenty of tasty mice, and time to heal. #small #owls #adorable
