🧠 we’re many things, but we’re not autistic
in a talk about autism, given by an autistic girl, I learned that scientists were able to revert autism in mice. (I can’t find the talk in particular, but you can learn about that study at the National Institutes of Health.) . . . . . . . . . . . . . .…

🐾 homescholling kills the cat
there’s still a lot of prejudice regarding homeschooling, here in Portugal. it’s well visible as the law is changing, and for the worst: limiting the access of more and more people to what is their right. I want to homeschool my kid, but the process is a pain in my beautiful butt. 🍑schools aren’t prepared…

🌙 an autistic witch… tarot for self-love!?… explain it, please
hey there! I’m nícia, I’m autistic, ADHDer, and a tarot reader! (an irresistible combo, I know!) I don’t know if you know, but autistic people have a different take-out of the world. I’m no different. that’s why I use tarot uniquely. I may do predictions, but they aren’t my main focus. what’s important for me…
