Autism hive-mind: does anyone have a sense of the etymology / origins of 'meltdown' as a metaphor for autistic overwhelm?

When it was first used / popularized as an analogy? Whether it was a community-originated term, or a medical one? Particularly influential deployments that lent it currency?

Just over 2 weeks until me and Kush go to Disney World for their 30th, and I’m just so excited. 8 days at the parks, tickets for the Halloween party, it’s going to be absolutely magical 🥺

Hi! I was laid off from Firaxis this morning. I wrote leaders and civs for Civilization VII (NDA for now) and Deadpool and Storm for Marvel's Midnight Suns. I also wrote the award-nominated Hindsight.

I'm available for full time, remote work starting ASAP. DMs are open:

How refreshing for a UK politician to call the press 'shit rags' rather than cowering in front of negative headlines.

I'm never actually going to need to write another comment piece again am I?

The right wing shit rags are just going to keep recruiting for us.

Folks - want a better country?

So blindsided by the release of a new song by The Format I completely missed they announced an entire new album. What a joyous day. I've missed Nate Ruess' voice.
