New video: How binaural beats work, and why I use 11Hz Alpha waves in my music.

AarDHD is a project creating functional music for focus and calm. The tracks use binaural beats for brainwave entrainment. The first release, "Flow State" is designed for people with ADHD and autism, or who needs help concentrating or calming down.

🧠 Researchers Discover Molecular Difference in Autistic Brains

｢ a new study in The American Journal of Psychiatry has found that brains of autistic people have fewer of a specific kind of receptor for glutamate, the most common excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain. The reduced availability of these receptors may be associated with various characteristics linked to autism ｣

"Autistic #Barbie doesn't like to be touched. Put her down! If you look her in the eye, she turns away. She obsessively collects 1st editions of James Joyce's Ulysses and KitKat wrappers. She knows precisely how many hairs she has on her head, and doesn't like the texture of walnuts"

Private equity firms acquired more than 500 autism centers in past decade, study shows | Brown University

“It's all about the financial incentives,” Arnold said. “I worry about the same types of revenue-generating strategies seen in other private equity-backed settings. I worry about children receiving more than the clinically appropriate amount of services and worsening disparities in terms of which children have access to services.”

“Furthermore, Autistic individuals have discussed how we may express empathy through sharing a similar experience or repeating scripts specific to a situation or feeling (Blanc et al., 2023). A non-Autistic person may misinterpret this as being self-centred. However, this may be related to how Autistic people tend to recall elements of an experience in an entire chunk, rather than isolate specific aspects of that situation (Blanc et al., 2023). “

I’ve been accused of one uping when I do this. But all I’m trying to say is, I get you.

Are there coders reading here?

Interesting in how coding worked back then™?

Curious how an now old coder was dealing with neurodiversity before there was a name for it?

@stephanie @dillyd @inquiline @inquiline It’s the second ableist discussion I have seen since yesterday , and I’m sure that they are way many more. 🤨

I know about mansplanning, and the others important issues mentioned above, allow me to add ableism! And genuine question do you (you = anyone reading me) take the time sometimes to check some the profiles that answering to you??

Because if you didn’t know that there a lot of autistic on the Fediverse, and I’m one of them. And yes I know that we don’t always mention that we are autistic, but maybe if more people checked the profiles, we will have less ableists threads… 🙃
