  • That just sounds like masking with extra steps to be honest. Also, removing humor from every day actions sounds dismal. Just because we're autistic doesn't mean we don't like to laugh.

    This is only in my experience, and I can only speak as to what works for me and my Autism/ADHD. Medication and cognitive behavior therapy helped me keep my humor and learn to not care if people don't like my joke or reference. To wait for them to ask for clarification, and only give clarification if they ask. I'm lucky though as my brand of humor isn't really considered to be offensive as I like to "punch up" as it were. Also, most of my references are from the most basic bitch shows like The Simpsons so YYMV.

  • Not good enough is a stepping stone to good enough and a great starting point for done.

    Reward what works, disengage what doesn't, and promote ideas that can grow.

    Sceptism is important, dissent is healthy, but recognizing what will progress society and putting effort into that is what's needed now.

  • Yes, people can be offended or get the wrong idea from a misunderstood joke or a person can feel left out if they don't get a reference. Humor can be a big part of building connection and repiore with people.

    Replaying and perseverating on interactions can be a big problem too.

  • I've seen more scientists, phd students, post grads, and STEM college students at protests than at any other time in my 30 years of protest. I've been involved in organizing countless protests online and now spend hours every week cultivating or building networks for dissidents and community organizers.

    I don't know which scientists you're talking to in the meatspace, but you might want to find different ones. Before they're all in the EU or Canada.
