A useful animated video, illustrating how everyday noises—ones non-autistic people may not notice—can overwhelm an autistic person, in some cases leading to bolting and meltdowns that uninformed people dismiss as "autistic behaviors." Please watch and share.

So now referring to some not so great as pretty average seems to be heading back round to the original meaning.

Pipipohutukawa @pipipohutukawa.bsky.social · 6d

So back to genocide as usual then.

Anything but say genocide because they’d be equally guilty. #auspol

#WAYCH | "It looked almost like a nuclear bomb had been set off in that area”

Apparently they don’t like the smell, and would need to be replenished regularly.

Pipipohutukawa @pipipohutukawa.bsky.social · 6d

And doubtless there will be little done about by government. #politas

Jesus wept, the incompetence.

Pipipohutukawa @pipipohutukawa.bsky.social · 6d

Agreed, the problem is that it would be a surprise, rather than to be expected.

Pipipohutukawa @pipipohutukawa.bsky.social · 6d

Rotten sods, at least they left some. I’ve been sprinkling blood&bone around mine to tell the possums ‘no’.

Proud papa moment: my son J published a letter in the @nytimes.com today (in print tomorrow) on the need to think our definitions of autism.

No sign of the two way arms trade between Australia and Israel slowing as Australia purchases approx $20m worth of weapons from Elbit.
