    Autism in the Media

    I thought I would share an autistic website I created for the community. I wanted to showcase how autistics have been represented in both film and tv. In the past it was of course, not so good. But I’m happy to report it is improving. You use a toggle switch, which you can find below the top...

    Any one else here obsessed with physics?

    Yes, for as long as I can remember. I have been interested in cosmology, space, and physics. I follow many Youtube channels around the topics. The ironic thing is that I'm terrible at maths. I still find myself listening to videos of Sabrina Gonzalez Pasterski discussing her new Celestial...

    Are you "noticeably autistic"?

    It is hard for me to know how others perceive me. I was bullied growing up so they knew something was different about me. If I'm stimming it might draw attention so maybe then. I think people might find me introverted unless they are discussing a topic I'm interested in.
