Our #scrum master is currently sick. I am standing in for them during their sickness.
Is it normal to get the feeling of a weather person? I developed my daily farewell phrase, which I use every day now.
"If no one else has anything, then I wish you all a successful day"
Is this #masking or a normal #neurospicy thing to cope with social queues?
I'm not sure whether to feel grateful or alarmed at the unexpectedly high level of #masking on LA Metro today. Did I miss something?
Made an unusual discovery this morning. I'm much less prone to overwhelm and more capable of dealing with unexpected and/or stressful situations or crowds when I'm dressed in my suit, waistcoat, cravat etc than I am when I'm dressed in my jeans and t-shirts/fleeces.
I do mask constantly but I guess the suit is "The Ultimate Mask" .. much like not being able to cope with London ComicCon for years until I went "as someone else" in an outfit.
Does probably explain why I'm much more tired/drained at the end of the day though.
Masks work. Airborne transmission is real. Even if others have moved on, we haven't forgotten the science. Here’s why: https://whn.global/yes-we-continue-wearing-masks

Picture a typical family gathering today. Most people…
WHNI'm the snarky, smartypants best friend that your mother didn't warn you about (because I was good at masking and being polite around your mother).

Covid - Masking - free Atlantic article
Folks (like me!) who are still masking the vast majority of the time, if you feel a bit beaten down about it sometimes, this article may help you feel less alone.
This should be a gift link.
Finished a box of disposable masks and looked on the shelf for the next one. Realised that I have been given so many masks by 'covid is over' people in my circle that I won't have to buy any for another year at least.
My experience is that people see me masking all the time and see me as someone to give their unwanted masks to, rather than as encouragement to mask themselves even when they're sick.
It's annoying and sad, but OTOH free masks!
The old meeting industry normal is long over, and many event professionals are still hoping and waiting for a new normal…

@SeaFury@aus.social@AnAutieAtUni I call this “scenario-ing” I do this because I am not empathic in the usual sense of the word. I need to watch for cues and pattern match to scenarios that I have worked out beforehand. I hold a huge number of these scenarios in my head as I interact with other people. But try as I might, I cannot account for all of them. If I encounter an expected response, I get flustered. I cannot unpack my feelings and the situation on the spot. My arms feel limp and I freeze sometimes. So this adds to a certain anxiety in every interaction. But at least I know what is happening. I am getting better at saying “I need a moment” or “I’ll get back to you” This is the whole mechanism of why and how I mask. It’s honestly exhausting!#masking @actuallyautistic
’s Pace @jancampbellcady@mastodon.scot#masking Wait a minute! Am I to understand that it is OK to wear a mask if you want to grab any one looking immigrant-y in the street and disappear them, but it is not to protect yourself and others from air-borne diseases?? Huh.
I think what I've been through in the last 20 minutes is a great example of how ASD affects us, even when we are considered "level 1" in terms of support.
- Coworker said they're feeling unwell and asked if we wanted to do a meeting without them or postpone it.
- I replied saying I was in favor of postponing it.
- Coworker 2 replied "get well soon" in the thread
- Coworker 3 gave a thumbs up on my message and sent a "get well soon" in the thread as well
- I spent the next 15 minutes stuck in a loop thinking if I should:
1. edit my initial reply and add a "get well soon" to the end
2. send "get well soon" as a separate message
3. move ahead with my life
That lasted until our last coworker sent a "get well soon", when I decided the occasion required a wish of health from me as well and sent one at the end of the thread.
So yeah, your coworker who looks "too normal to be autistic" probably also has these moments as well, for stupid reasons, multiple times a day.
And that is a HUGE energy sink.
And the CDC simultaneously says: TB is spread through the air from one person to another. and then under Prevention (and frankly, anywhere else) they do not say the word #mask.
I mean, they even say:
These germs can stay in the air for several hours, depending on the environment. TB germs are more likely to spread in indoor areas or other places with poor air circulation (such as a closed vehicle) than in outdoor areas. People who breathe in the air become infected with TB.
But they can't actually mention the possibility of #masking. On this page about the causes of TB they discuss if you have active TB disease, meaning you're probably actively contagious, they say "Your health care provider will tell you what steps you can take to keep from spreading TB germs to others". I sure hope "your health care provider" has the sense to say "#WearAMask".
I'd like to know what justification they have to not mention masking.
Tuberculosis germs spread through the air from one…

My old bandmate, who has been in assited living for ab9ut 2 years, was pout into hospice Saturday after contracting COVID19 for the first time. His fragile health was not considered worth masking around them. This is the third close friend who has contracted COVID19 and died in a medical setting this last 8 months. i am overwhelmed with grief too much to even consider being active against the Confederated TechBro Takeover of 2025. Glad Oregon has a right to die when nothing works in medicine #FUBAR #TODAY #COVID #Masking #GermicideForSeniors #Euthanasia
