Does anyone else seem to have a turtle trail that they follow. By that I mean a radius of familiar places that you frequent regularly. I do. Everyday I check the mail and everyday I find an excuse to go a block away to the grocery store. I go to church which is two trolley stops away every...
I want to be alone and not need anyone. I am tired of being hopeful. I am tired of hurting people without even knowing what i did. I am tired of the guilt. I want to live and die alone and in peace. I don't want anymore guilt on my conscience. I wish the people i met, like my friends never met...
The usual cluster of circles on random colors that overlap for not reason.
So... we have:
an umbrella
a rainbow... that as usual is missing a color, this time missing indigo.
then a bunch of keywords that look like buttons... And more!
I think we go the feeling of this design concept.
This picture accompany an article that talks about delay of speech development on autistic people.
I think it is interesting the way people come with this drawings when they are forced to produce the graphics...
this image comes with the description:
"I asked an AI to draw a representation of Autism Part 2"
If someone does not know how AI generate this images, is by taking thousands of images that have same word descriptions or tags, and generating new images that mix from the database.
at this point I am going to bring forward the idea that some people maybe have some sort of disorder around an obsession with puzzles...
I believe Everything happens for a reason. If i lose a friend it was meant to happen.
I was masking with her a lot, trying to overcome my anxiety about unexpected situations. But she thrives on unexpected situations and seeks them out, even dangerous ones. I am too stressed to try to fit in...
The picture of today was found on a website of an agency that finds talent for business... their pitch is that autistic people are geniuses and this agency will help you find your own autistic employee.
It is an interesting read:
Celebrating Neurodiversity
Now, the picture is the typical: Half...
Maybe I am reading this wrong... is there any research that backs up this kind of representation for girls with autism?
One is a spectrum of color, the other is a rainbow, that is actually a spectrum of color... the confusion is bound to happens...
So if you put in the puzzle pieces that will fill up the space making the shape of the ribbon not clear anymore... how is this suppose to work???
So just to clarify, I was on a bike ride, not a walk, but I did give up on one hill, and walked the bike up, so....
First say hi to my bicycle, it's an old sturdy one, I got it ~16-17 years ago with a child seat attached so I could use it for taking the kid to kindergarten, it's not fast or...

It does not choose good, evil, happiness, or sadness.
And perhaps this is precisely what destabilizes us:
the idea that evil can happen without a reason.
Without a message. Without a plan.
Yet, as human beings, we seek meaning in everything.
We need stories to...
This graphic accompanies an essay that have the same title of this post.
This is what I find fascinating about this graphic:
Imagine you are a graphic designer and someone hires you to do the graphic work for their website, and you think "sweet, I got a job, I have to do my best here so this...
This is why it is important to check your designs... you can end up with something that is way too close resembling something else...
I found this interesting essay about how autism diagnosis does not come alone but it usually will come with other conditions. In this framework they will look at the symptoms and then diagnose all the conditions that match the symptoms. So if you have autism but also some symptoms that do not...
Just imagine this thing, but all the outside circles just touch the edge of the center circle, instead of overlaping with the center circle... AND... all the outside circles just touch the edges of each other, also not overlapping between them... that would have being so satisfying and quiet...
