I do use numbers! Just at the end lol. Do the hard stuff with letters and concepts then let the computer beep boop the numbers into it.

Lol maybe if they don’t want a UTI they shouldn’t have signed up to terrorize people

I’m so bad at abstract math but the moment I got to use math to describe physical things I got really good at it? I tell people I’m great at math, unless it has numbers 😅

It’s all about the shapes and vibes lol. First year engineering math was horrible, statistics made me cry a lot but differential equations and things like transport phenomena which use differential equations to describe movement in space is so fun.

I use math now to look for patterns in process data and it’s actually a problem because I get so into it and can’t tear myself away.

Oh fuck yeah I love using math to communicate complex systems.

Frfr this lady sucks. She is a bad person, no doubt. But she’s bad because she actively harms people by peddling this hate and being and propping up oppression and fascism.

Literally who cares if she’s ‘greiving right’. And I’m not defending her lol, I’m criticising the idea that the shit she does would somehow be better if she was the perfect grieving widow. It’s bad if she’s holding mega rallies with pyrotechnics or if she’s leaping in the grave dramatically.

I have heard that for non-autistic people anyway, tuning out noise is a skill that your brain has to learn, and that’s why the health organizations recommend it limiting your time on noise cancelling headphones.

Is it different for people with autism?

Yes. The inability to filter out noise is a common experience with autism. This is one of the reasons people might wear noise cancelling headphones.

In a noisy environment, many autistic people say it is difficult to hear what’s being said. Background noises can create overwhelming listening difficulties. Conversations can become a jumble of words (as shown in the image below, created by the authors).

I personally use ear plugs or head phones that are not powered on to filter out noises so I can focus on conversation.

Weird how chronically underfunding a critical service causes issues

(Sorry to hear about this comrades, I hope things get turned around)
