I don’t like to beg, but I’m begging. This kind of assistance could make the difference between me becoming homeless or not. Any tiny amount helps. Spreading the word helps.
The next time somebody gives you shit about your late autism diagnosis, remember that Anthony Hopkins was diagnosed as autistic when he was 70 years old.
People can go almost their whole lives and never know they’re autistic, but recognize they feel different from their peers.
And BTW Anthony Hopkins stims by rubbing his hands together, and being autistic is exactly why he’s such a good actor. He studies people’s mannerisms with an analytical mind, adopts those mannerisms for characters and turns out awesome performances. He’s a chameleon.
And he’s one of us, autistic community.
This is also important as a reminder that, while most mainstream discussion of autism focuses on autistic children, autism doesn’t magically go away when you become an adult. Many autistic adults are less visibly neurodivergent than we were when we were children. That doesn’t mean that we’ve become neurotypical. We’ve simply learned through years of experience how to act in a way that society deems “normal.” A surface-level change in behavior does not necessarily reflect a fundamental change in the way we think and perceive the world.
No single city, no group of cities has that population. The TOP 10 cities in the US have a combined population of 28 million. Out of 328. That’s roughly 8% of the population.
If you add up EVERY SINGLE CITY with more than 100,000 people in it (Which is 311 cities), that’s still only 94 million. 28% of the US population.
So this idea that the popular vote would give power to just a few cities isn’t supported by the facts.
Please remember that all the natives on this show are played by actual native people, and all the native/Rez jokes are written by native writers and actors and that as someone who grew up very close to a reservation, Jared Keeso has great respect for the Canadian aboriginees
silmamiller said: Hi, I came across your reply to the racist warning you off of Stephen Fry and I shared it in a Facebook group that I'm a member of saying how much I loved your reply. I then got some comments from other group members saying that the last part of your comment that corrected the spelling of the word 'Voluntary' was 'ablest'. I really hadn't considered it to be that at all. May I ask how you feel about being thought of as 'ablest'? (I hope you aren't offended by my ask as I think you are fab!)
