@hutchinson I am from Maine, the tattoo issue and his response, played on every local news channel. He does many events around here, and they are packed. He has Mainer's attention. He is running purple in an oft divided state.. holding and nurturing the attention of both sides.

The climate might be so bad for republicans that Platner wins regardless, but the voters of Maine haven’t yet been bombarded with ads highlighting his tattoo + volumes of problematic Reddit posts. GOP is going to pour tens of millions into that race. It is going to be brutal.

@Autistic_Lauren I'm not neurospicy.. i am neuro freakin' sparkly

Asking autistics, what's your thoughts on the term "neurospicy"?

@suchnerve ASD levels are a way for insurance to easily approve not approve aiding an autistic individual. This weird internet trend of declaring our levels only hurts the community as a whole. Not to mention our "levels" are not set in stone, they change with life circumstance.

@DiaryofaSickGrl Scentlok Laundry soap works a wonder. It is made for killing scents in clothing for hunting purposes and I've had it work on killing everything from detergent scents to mildew scents.

If I put small clothing items into a ziplock bag with some baking soda would it get the detergent-y smell out of them? 🤔

@_sorrengailll I use a few similar oils and lotions on my hands and feet.. but I just don't see a point of making my hands overly dependant on product.. when I can use better and more cost effective stuff at home. I have very strong natural nails that grow beautifully shaped.

Girls that don't get manicures and pedicures.... Why???

@Autistic_Lauren Am I able? Sure. Should I? Not on your life. My anxiety levels on the road are much to high and the urge to get way out of the way of anything bigger is real.

Asking autistics, are you currently able to drive?

@Autistic_Lauren I have a handful of lifelong ones and then ones I consider more of a hyper focus that I invest in for a shorter period and it falls off after 3-6 months.

Asking autistics, if you have special interests, how often do they tend to change?

@1GamewithDave1 Yes, still do, with an old tube tele so I can still play it. I have to get my paperboy and dr mario fix.

Did you own a NES?

@_stainless0_ I don't respect professions, I respect people.. so all of them, unless the individual proves they are undeserving.

Be honest.

@oelma__ Learn to love themselves, how to give grace to themselves, and realize when others are not doing either.

@otokyo__ Dina

I’m writing a book and I need a name for a mean, ugly, selfish person.

@Autistic_Lauren That you cannot be articulate and be autistic.

Asking autistics, what would you say is the biggest piece of misinformation about autism that most neurotypical people seem to believe?

@theamelia__ Sat at the table til a reasonable amount was gone.. I learned quickly to mash things tiny and swallow the bites hole while holding my nose.. usually would coat the inside of my mouth with butter to avoid the texture/taste.

@Autistic_Lauren Cold Cheese, Cheese Cake, Battered Fish or chicken (breaded is fine), Okra, Anything that bursts in my mouth when I bite it (gushers, overly sauced pizza, and so on), cereal that has been wetted too long, Gummies.. the list is long.

Asking autistics, are there any foods you can't eat for sensory reasons?

@ATRightMovies Cats the Musical Motion Picture

@lady_valor_07 Corner Gas

Name one

@DarkSalxm phasmophobia

Name a video game WITHOUT the letter “E” you cant 🫵😤

Without saying anything, how long have you been playing video games?

@Comrade_Del You are asking a question that is going to be unique to each person that holds her in high regard. We all find inspiration in people in our own individual ways.. and see strengths and value in those people that others may not.

I know that questioning this can get some people triggered but this is a legitimate question... But what did Ironmouse actually do for Vtubing and Vtubers? Like, why are her opinions and views supersede anyone else's and she's treated as though she's the spokesperson for all Vtubers? I've seen plenty of times people using Ironmouse's takes about something as though that's the end all be all opinion and "Vtuber law" on whatever. Why is it so? I'm genuinely curious to know. I'm not trying to shit on Ironmouse or anything like that. She is undisputably an incredibly succesful streamer and has done some crazy charity work... but why is her word treated as some kind of gospel, as though she's actually some kind of medieval royalty among Vtubers, the final authority on any subject? Let's be real... there are other indie Vtuber who are actually more succesful overall than she is... so why her specifically? What did she do? It's certainly not because of her opinions. I'll be honest but I've frankly seen more thought-provoking takes and opinions from AI chatbots. It's not even fully her fault, since she's in PR mode 24/7 because we know how the internet are with interpreting statements. While understandable, it does leave all her statements and opinions to be the most sanitized and aimed for mass appeal kind of tripe that you would see from Disney. Does she even have any opinions about Vtubing as a medium or the "community"? If she does, she clearly prioritizes PR over them. So what did she even DO for Vtubing and Vtubers for people to treat her as some kind of overall spokesperson? Because looking at it objectively, she has actually done far more HARM to Vtubing than any good, if any good done actually exists in the first place. The clear apathy and disinterest she displays is very evident on the other hand, considering just how much she could've done with her position and chose not to. So again... what did she do for Vtubing and Vtubers? Because I can't see anything. It's a legit question and I would love if people could give me examples of why a person who couldn't care less about the medium or anyone in it is put on such a high pedestal where she speaks for all of us.
