Heippa! I'm Päivi from Finland! 🇫🇮 I'm an autistic ADHDer, I love to talk about both #Autism and #ADHD. I also have #CardiacSarcoidosis, #UlcerativeColitis and likely #MCAS. I'm a #CardiacArrest survivor 2020 ❤️‍🩹 I work at a company that helps neurodivergents. Who are you? 🤗

Selfie of me, a white woman, in the sunshine, looking at the camera. I have straight, over shoulder length blonde hair, I'm wearing a grey T-shirt that says AD/HD in the style of AC/DC, and dark sunglasses. There's green grass and bushes in the background

So many thoughts... so little time!

#ADHDAwarenessMonth

Title: “Sharing Thoughts.”

Top panel labeled “Non-ADHD”: One person carefully holds a single green butterfly taken from labeled jars of “Experiences,” “Ideas,” and “Opinions,” calmly sharing it with another person who listens with interest.

Bottom panel labeled “ADHD”: The ADHD character joyfully releases a colorful swarm of butterflies—orange, blue, purple, pink, yellow, and green—representing many thoughts and ideas all at once, while the other person looks startled and overwhelmed.

I don’t talk about my Tourette’s much, mostly because it’s an asshole, but here’s a lil impromptu 🧵 with a few insights..

Kathryn de Tomb 🏳️‍⚧️🫶 [Free Łink!] @kathryndeplume.com · 15h

Tourette’s is such an asshole, and so difficult to put into words. I’ve just never found a way to truly illustrate the compulsion, because it’s not like the compulsion most people think of.

The closest thing is to say it’s like being conscious of an itch and not scratchng it, but it’s not enough.

Wish more doctors would upskill on ADHD so that many people (like myself) didn't have to spend years on anti-depressants or anti-anxiety meds that didn't actually improve things that much, and instead delayed the correct treatment of the issue.

A decade of my life on bad meds was wasted time.

No joo, ei sanottu, että koulutettu heidän ottamilla koulukuvilla, niinkuin ryntäsin tässä vtutuksessani ajattelemaan..

Päivi Butcher AuDHD @finnattentive.bsky.social · 1d

Kuulin, että yhdeltä nuorelta oli kuvasta poistettu nenäkoru.

Mitä helv tää koko juttu?!

" – Sehän rikkoo jo tietosuojalakiakin, jos lähettää lapsen kuvan jollekin ulkopuoliselle taholle. Emme missään tapauksessa toimi näin koskaan."

Missaanko nyt jotain, mutta eikö juuri sanottu, että on koulutettu?

Voinko nyt luottaa siihen, ettei lasteni kuvia ole käytetty tekoälyn kouluttamiseen?

"Koneoppimista on koulutettu syväoppimaan lasten kasvon muotoja noin 300 000 kuvan avulla."

"Tekoälyä käyttäessä on aina riski, että tekoälyn kehittäjä käyttää aineistoa myöhemmin tekoälyn kouluttamiseen.."

Koulukuvausyritys Seppälä alkoi muokata tekoälyllä lasten kuvia – yhdeltä pojalta hävisi käsi, tytöltä pisamat naamasta

Ylen haastattelemien vanhempien mielestä koulukuvien kuvankäsittely on mennyt liian pitkälle. Tekoälyä käytetään hyödyksi sekä kuvien järjestelyyn että käsittelyyn.

Hear ye hear ye a message of hope and inspiration from our courageous leader in exile, Link. May all his loyal followers take heart!

I appreciate all the people showing love and support to me. I’m so grateful honestly. It means a lot. The ban isn’t that big of a deal for me. I think it was wrong and the explanation was bullshit. But that’s ok and I accept. Social media comes and goes. I’m grateful for all the connections I was able to make and all the people I get to be connected with off Bluesky. More importantly, the world needs more people to give a fuck. More people to give a fuck about Palestinians, more people to give a fuck about disabled folks, more people to give a fuck about our queer and trans siblings, more people to give a fuck about Black liberation. The world, and Bluesky, is full of bootlickers who will do anything to avoid doing anything to upset the status quo. These people are cowards groveling to those in power in hopes of protection. I just hope people continue to show love and care and kindness. Mutual aid is so important. Give when you can, boost when you can. We only survive this together.

Mä just ootan kovasti mun dödön loppumista. Liian vahva tuoksu, mutta pystyn käyttään. Haluan käyttää, kun oli jotain e10. Edellistä en pystyny käyttään, haistoin sen koko ajan, annoin pois.

Prkl, kun Lavera ei enää tee mun lempidödöö. Pakko aina tehdä uusia tuoksuja 🙄 Nyt sit etin uutta lempparia.

STOP USING AI!!!

Photo of Robin Williams posted by Variety on Facebook.

Robin Williams' daughter tells fans: “Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad.”

“If you’ve got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It’s dumb, it’s a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it’s NOT what he’d want. To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to ‘this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that’s enough’, just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You’re not making art, you’re making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else’s throat hoping they’ll give you a little thumbs up and like it. Gross.”

this doesn't really "go away" as an autistic adult, we just replace it with something else. biting nails, scratching our arms, picking at skin, squeezing a plushie, applying immense pressure, screaming and running. autistic children turn into autistic adults. we should support each other

selfcaregamer @selfcaregamer.bsky.social · 2d

"your autism is different than my child's because you don't bite people" you really don't think I've ever bitten people lmao. most children have, it just lasts longer for autistic humans in general. verbal communication can be really hard

this is how people talked about the metaverse and nfts and ultimately it's all fluff because to 99.99999% of users bsky is just an uncomplicated website to hang out on and they don't care how many times you reinvent the same website as long as you at least nominally care about the users

Hi everyone! I put together a one minute animation for dyspraxia awareness week, showing how this lesser known neurodiversity impacts people and then a bit about my book to be published in January! I hope people find it useful!
