A screenshot of Google results to the question, "are millennials still young?" No, Millennials are not still young; in 2025, they are roughly 29 to 44 years old , with the oldest members entering their 40s, though their perceived youthfulness can be attributed to factors like improved health, lifestyle choices, and the changing definition of "middle age". Current Age Range Millennials were born between 1981 and 1996, making them approximately 29 to 44 years old as of 2025. The oldest millennials, born around 1981, are now in their early to mid-40s.

This seventeen second video includes the origins of the concept of neurodiversity in an online forum InLV in which Judy Singer and Harvey Blume were members. Both went on to popularize the term "neurodiversity" in the 1990s. Due to people erroneously calling themselves "neurodiverse," Kassiane A. coined the term neurodivergent for those who have a neurology that deviates from what's considered the norm in 2000. Neurodiverse is a group attribute not an individual one. No person is neurodiverse rather the whole of humanity is neurodiverse. Nick Walker received approval of the definitions used in her book Neuroqueer Heresies.

Some Autistic people may prefer certain items due to sensory sensitivities* as the weight, color, texture or shape may offer sensory input** that's soothing or comfortable for them. Familiarity and routine may play a part too, providing a sense of stability & predictability in an otherwise chaotic world. The design of the item may also offer ergonomic benefits making it easier to handle and provide comfortability
Look for patterns of behavior: consistently exhibit a combination of social communication challenges, repetitive behaviors & restricted interests, may indicate traits commonly associated with Autism Consider sensory sensitivities: often have atypical responses to sensory stimuli. Pay attention to how you react to different sensory inputs such as light, sound, touch, taste & smell Evaluate social interactions: Watch for signs of difficulty in understanding social cues, maintaining conversations, or forming relationships Assess communication skills: may have challenges with both verbal & nonverbal communication. Look for issues such as limited eye contact, speech delays, repetitive language, and difficulty understanding sarcasm or irony Explore interests and behaviors: intense focus on particular subjects or rituals may suggest traits of ASD Consider the context: It's important to understand that being quirky or having unique preferences doesn't necessarily mean someone is Autistic.

A screenshot of the Johari Window. It is a square split into four smaller squares. From left to right (top row): My Public Self and My Blind Spot. From left to right (bottom row): My Hidden Self and My Unconscious Self. My Public Self is what I show to others about me. My Hidden Self is what I choose to hide from others. My Blind Spots are parts of me that others see but I do not. My Unconscious Self are parts of me that is neither visible to me or others. We all have these four parts of Self, as shown in the Johari Window diagram, but their respective sizes vary in each of us.

More girls have been diagnosed as the diagnostic criteria catches up to the science. Speakin' of the criteria, it's been around since the 1920's. A child psychologist Grunya Sukhareva was the first to identify Autistic children. Her work has gone relatively unknown & remains so even now. Her findings are nearly identical to the current criteria. In the past, the criteria for ASD was very strict & typically applied to white boys. As the criteria catches up w/initial findings, the number of diagnoses have risen. Public education & access also play a role in the increase in diagnoses. Many Auties flew “under the radar” in the past. But today more are being identified. It's not new at all. The blame goes onto racial, socioeconomic, cultural as well as gender bias as to why certain people weren't afforded a diagnosis in the first place. The onus is on the medical & psychology field not the people impacted by their (med & psych) faults.
