Hey Bluesky! I’m Atlas!
I’m a nontraditional uni student studying English, with a huge interest in disability, digital, and queer studies.
I’m also autistic with ADHD and have several other disabilities.
I’m also a musician, a (published!) writer, and a gamer.
Looking forward to being here!

Atlas Has Returned.
And I bring personal updates:
- Currently playing FFXIV, Risk of Rain 2, Deadlock, and Skyrim.
- Currently hyperfixated on A Thousand Suns (Linkin Park album) and Mt. Everest (which we are ALL pronouncing wrong).
- GRADUATING IN A YEAR IF I’M LUCKY
- Did more advocacy.

Why I Hate ABA Therapy: A Personal Opinion
ABA therapy doesn't in any way help us autistics to adapt; it forces us not to complain about routine sensory punishment beatings.

I totally buy and receive books as gifts! I’ve been enjoying books on writing, the bands I listen to, and autistic topics since last year, and I hope to gain more knowledge this year!!

It’s been a while since I’ve logged onto bsky but.
In April, for my birthday, QB, another irl friend, and I decided to try EX trials. QB was already familiar, Caalun (other friend’s IGN) and I were not.
Long story short, Caalun has been away for a while but QB and I have formed a raid static.

As of recently I’m playing FFXIV again.

TFW I have to start filtering political keywords (read: t and m's names) because I cannot handle hearing the news at all lately.
It's frustrating. I like knowing things, but this is just too much.

liberal neurodiversity advocates are the same people who have supported and staffed the offices of the democratic senators who bend to the wills of the billionaires.
their accomplishments?
some, yet few
they'd have you believe they invented advocacy, however.
and that radicals should be quiet

We’re often told we lack empathy, but often, it’s the opposite.
Autistic humans often over-empathize, mimicking and feeling others' emotions to survive.
It’s time we start prioritizing our own emotional needs.

Saw this video of a teacher flipping out at a high school class because he's so sick and tired of hearing "Skibidi this and that"... as a teacher for many years, if you want a distracting meme to die, just use it in your lesson once in front of the class. *Poof* no more. They won't use it again

I see a lot of beauty when people advocate for neurodiversity (the concept that the diversity of human minds is both natural and valuable) because it communicates:
- my mind is open
- I see you
- you’re not broken
- I want society to be better
