Unfortunately I don't have the energy to put together some info for the mega this week, hopefully I can pull together something for next week though. As always, we ask that in order to participate in the weekly megathread, one self-identifies as some form of disabled, which is broadly defined in the community sidebar:
"Disability" is an umbrella term which encompasses physical disabilities, emotional/psychiatric disabilities, neurodivergence, intellectual/developmental disabilities, sensory disabilities, invisible disabilities, and more. You do not have to have an official diagnosis to consider yourself disabled.
Mask up, love one another, and stay alive for one more week.
i would really like to get an autism diagnosis, because it feels like it's the root cause of a lot of my social issues, and i would really like support for dealing with that. and it might help towards getting disability aid ig but my doc said i should qualify without it
but the wait time for adult diagnosis is a year
I've been trialling a drop-in peer support space run via the game Webfishing. I'm auDHD and I reasonably knowledgeable about the ins-and-outs of autism and late diagnosis.
You're welcome to join the ping list for when I notify people of the upcoming drop-in peer support space so you can chat with me or whoever else is in there, if you're interested.
Currently I've only really been promoting it on the neurodiverse comm so the autistic power levels of the server are off the charts
oh sure i'd appreciate it, can't promise i'll attend but i'd like to be pinged if i feel up to it. thanks for the offer!
Don't sweat it, there's no participation requirements or anything. Just come in if the server is live and you feel up for it.
Welcome to the ping list!
