10 Things to Never Say to a Person in a Wheelchair:

We know that Moriarty leaves Grimm’s Fairy Tales as a clue for Sherlock to find the abducted children. But what if he also leaves this book as a clue to the IOU riddle?

It’s obvious that Sherlock doesn’t believe for one second in the binary code…

Wow.

The human body is fascinating

I keep telling people this shit in real life and they don’t believe me.
I’ve seen it from multiple sources, and this just adds another (albeit usually unreliable) source.

This is actually legit, guys. This is how your eyes move when you’re thinking about something. It’s actually a good way to tell if someone is lying or not, because they’ll look to their left (your right, durr) when they’re constructing false memories, and to their right when they’re actually remembering them.

HOLY CRAP. SAVING THIS FOR FUTURE REF.

I’m not sure if this works if you or they are autsitic/neurodivergent because most of the time I’m just like STOP LOOKING AT THEM STAT and my eyes go haywire.

My clarinet teacher has talked about this in multiple lessons whenever he notices me looking up trying to memorize music

Social skills for autonomous people: autism awareness for aides:

I recently got a job offer to be an in-school aid for a gradeschooler I know with aspergers and I’m genuinely afraid to take it because, while I have teaching experience, I’ve never been an aid before. I’m afraid I’ll do something wrong…

“

“The reason people don’t go for help is because there is still stigma. People don’t talk about mental illnesses the way they do other illnesses.” [Maria Bamford] launches into impressions of people talking about physical maladies the way they talk about depression:

“Apparently Steve has cancer. It’s like, fuck off! We all have cancer.”

“I was dating this chick all this time and she let me know she’s been wearing contact lenses. I said whoa, do what you need to do but I don’t believe in all that Western medicine shit. If you wanna see like other people it’s all about attitude. You gotta want it.”
