I find it baffling when non-autistic people continue to oppose autistic self diagnosis even *after* learning that (1) autistic-led organizations explicitly give resources to aid self diagnosis and (2) that an on-record autism diagnosis means you are overwhelmingly prevented from adopting, you can’t immigrate to places like Canada, and you are likely to lose custody of your kids if your custody is ever challenged.
Like? It’s baffling that there are neurotypicals who hate autistic people so much that they’d rather we lose our kids than let us say we’re autistic without having a clinical diagnosis.
i would like to add that for autistic trans people, a professional autism diagnosis legally prevents you from transitioning in many places, and in many others it means you must have PARENTAL OR SPOUSAL CONSENT for transition-related care or procedures. i would LOVE people to take my autism seriously but a diagnosis would actually kill me because i would no longer be able to access hormones or trans healthcare.
he’s mirroring! cats do that to be social that’s also why they will lie on laptops or books. they want to do what their humans are doing because they enjoy being in the same room and socializing that way. getting him his own prayer mat was a really good idea bc now he gets to mirror without being in the way!
The other thing is that cats have a very good sense of time and tend to like regular schedules. If OP’s family members pray every day at the same times, in the same place, the cat knows the drill and probably considers this an official Household Activity which requires Feline Supervision.
Misogyny and ageism aside, the message that older women should leave fandom and stick to conservative activities like “knitting and taxes” reveals a major ignorance of the nature of knitters.
