@ShadowJonathan I score 200% on this, but reasonably confident I am not on the spectrum, because I tend to only question societal or organisational rules, rather than, whether I should brush my teeth every day.
That being said, that trait makes sense when you apply it to say #GretaThunberg, which makes you want to ensure we nurture autistic people, not least to save the rebellion and give it a fighting chance

@midtsveen@social.linux.pizzaWhat are your thoughts on @gretathunberg and her climate activism?
Poll ended, thanks for participating!
So, as a very white-looking AFAB person (yes, ugh, but that's not who I am) of a certain age, I know I have privilege just because of that. But as someone who is #ActuallyAutistic and very mouthy (#OPD?), that doesn't mean I can get away with shit. My whole life, I've come close to being arrested, but never have been. The fact that I have #Claustrophobia and #PTSD (from being locked in a closet by a Nun) means that I probably would not do well incarcerated. Or at least I'd have to mask for what would seem like an eternity. I honestly don't know how #GretaThunberg could tolerate incarceration, but the fact that she has, and is still very VOCAL, means she is a total #BadAss who is my HERO!
@dbattistella@todon.euWhy does it seem that former media-darling #GretaThunberg has “gone quiet”?
"When she started making the connection between #capitalism, #colonialism, the #genocide, all of these different forms of #oppression, she did disappear from mainstream media, because she is getting to the crux of the matter, and the ruling class doesn't want that." - #Climate justice activist and author Tori Tsui

@IngridHbn@mastodon.onlineHappy #Birthday #GretaThunberg! 
We all have the power to change the world for the better.
@Ailantd The Climate Book by Greta Thunberg and friends is a big picture guide for our family. Yes. The actions that you list are discussed and many more actions are described. Local mutual aid is a big step. Mastodon has a lot of information. #gretathunberg, #theclimatebook, #mutualaid, #permaculture, #ClimateJustice.
@gclef@vivaldi.net"It is my genuine belief that the only way we will be able to avoid the worst consequences of this emerging existential crisis is if we create a critical mass of people who demand the changes required. For that to happen, we need to rapidly spread awareness, because the general public still lacks much of the basic knowledge that is necessary to understand the dire situation we are in. My wish is to be part of the effort to change that."

Quote by AJE:
"Dec 6, 2024
As floods, wildfires, and other natural disasters prompted by the climate crisis continue to wreak havoc across the planet, environmentalists are condemning the inaction of world leaders. And with the world pushing closer to multiple climate tipping points, there is a dire need for real policy to help steer away from climate catastrophe.
So what’s behind the failure to address what scientists and environmentalists call an existential threat to our way of life on Earth? And with Donald Trump returning to power in Washington, are things about to get even worse?
This week on UpFront, Marc Lamont Hill discusses the current climate crisis and what is to be expected in the coming years with renowned activist and environmentalist Greta Thunberg.
Her outspoken condemnation of Israel’s war on Gaza has also resulted in intense criticism. How do her fight for climate justice and her support for Gaza intersect?

@breadandcircuses. Greta Thunberg is right. #gretathunberg, #growyourown.
Climate. AMOC
@Hellybootwader. I have screaming into the void first. I don’t know what to do. The AMOC tipping point is in the timeline of replacing house shingles. The government units in the North Atlantic should be preparing for this. The USA is going in the opposite direction per the election. So yes. The actual action is the combination platter from The Climate Book by Greta Thunberg and many others. #gretathunberg.

I think that in many ways, we #autistic are the normal ones, and the rest of the people are pretty strange, especially when it comes to the sustainability crisis, where everyone keeps saying that climate change is an existential threat and the most important issue of all and yet they just carry on like before."

@freeschool@qoto.org@KatyElphinstone #ALTTEXT to the pic #quote below and thoughts to Chris' 'only' relying on yourself potentially changed to 'mostly'(?)...
" I want you to remember: those who are hyper-independent aren't just robots who don't need people. They are the kids who struggled to have their needs met and finally gave up and took matters into their own hands. "
- @drjenwolkin
This reminds me of #GretaThunberg who start *almost* by herself and then needs the help of others / need help from humanity to save itself, together.
So I would say Chris @nitecoder that 'only' in your reply is probably right or very close, but mainly or mostly is more true if cooperation is the heart of many things and unavoidable as a species. <shrug> but also it's the best part (once people can reply and start trust itself knowing we are all just 'randoms almost out genuinely all want or need same things, if we can give / receive it).
By yourself is good to start and continue - but we should (have to anyway) rely on others if we going to provide for each other (currently by anonymous mostly money making people) do any 'save' humanity (on any level) or learning together or completing life's puzzles with each other.
Seems a bit of a speech but what do you think Chris? Is it far wrong we need to work together?
#GretaThunberg Won't Attend #UNClimateTalks in 'Yet Another #Authoritarian #PetrolState'
"We can't legitimize #COP meetings in their current form," Thunberg said. "The last three years, they've taken place in authoritarian regimes, and holding them in such places leads nowhere."

"Thunberg expressed concerns about #Azerbaijan's record of stifling internal #dissent as well as its ethnic cleansing of Armenians. The U.N. summit comes a little over a year after Azerbaijani forces entered the disputed, ethnic #Armenian-controlled territory of #NagornoKarabakh, prompting most ethnic Armenians in the area to flee across the border to Armenia. Armenia told the International Court of Justice in April that Azerbaijan had 'completed' #EthnicCleansing in the territory and was 'erasing all traces of ethnic Armenians' presence' there.
"At the same time, Thunberg added her voice to the many #environmental advocates who have called out Azerbaijan for planning to expand its #FossilFuel production. Azerbaijan's selection was especially controversial because it came on the heels of the #UnitedArabEmirates' hosting of #COP28, which also prompted backlash due to the country's #HumanRights record and reliance on #OilAndGas. Both COPs also came under fire for selecting presidents with close ties to state-run oil companies.
"'It is a slap in the face to all the people who are suffering from the #ClimateEmergency and from the repression and oppression of the Azerbaijani regime,' Thunberg said."
@Snoro. Paraphrasing Greta Thunberg, We can’t talk about the climate if you can’t go out in the street with a sign. #Cop29, #gretathunberg, #massextinction.
@NatureMC Good morning NatureMC. Greta Thunberg and friends wrote The Climate Book in 2022. The book is an encyclopedia of climate issues. Every village should have a Climate Book to help save the planet. #gretathunberg, #theclimatebook, #minnesota.
