If this is going ahead and there's a demand for it, I am willing to turn this book into a computer-read audiobook that has reasonable listenability since there isn't an official audiobook release.
It won't be the same quality as a professional audiobook and there's a good chance that it will mispronounce a couple of words but if it makes it more accessible then I'm happy to do it.
That would be... much appreciated.
Unexpected... but appreciated.
I'll dust off the ol' skillset and see what I can come up with
I'm interested!
Ooo I'd be interested
Alright, shall I tag you if I need to?
Yes
I might be willing to, it's an interesting topic.
So... Yes? What would make you say yes entirely?
Just stuff that would happen on my end, I'm also just bad at decisions so I often word things in a way that isn't a full commitment. Yes, I am interested.
Sure I'll do it. How often do you want to meet, how many chapters per week, etc.?
Once a week, maybe four chapters per week.
I kinda want to go at a fast pace, if that's okay with everyone.
Sure, when is the first meeting?
Let me think...
How would the discussions/ dialogue go? As in discussions in a thread on lemmy, or a separate chat?
It's ADHD, Autism, OCD, schizophrenia, anxiety, depression, bi-polar, aspd, etc etc etc etc
“neurologically atypical patterns of thought or behavior”
So, it’s very broad, if you feel like it describes you then it does as far as we're concerned
1.) ableist language=post or comment will probably get removed (enforced case by case, some comments will be removed and restored due to complex situations). repeated use of ableist language=banned from comm and possibly site depending on severity. properly tagged posts with CW can use them for the purposes of discussing them
2.) always assume good faith when dealing with a fellow nd comrade especially due to lack of social awareness being a common symptom of neurodivergence
2.5) right to disengage is rigidly enforced. violations will get you purged from the comm. see rule 3 for explanation on appeals
3.) no talking over nd comrades about things you haven't personally experienced as a neurotypical chapo, you will be purged. If you're ND it is absolutely fine to give your own perspective if it conflicts with another's, but do so with empathy and the intention to learn about each other, not prove who's experience is valid. Appeal process is like appealing in user union but you dm the nd comrade you talked over with your appeal (so make it a good one) and then dm the mods with screenshot proof that you resolved it. fake screenies will get you banned from the site, we will confirm with the comrade you dm'd.
3.5) everyone has their own lived experiences, and to invalidate them is to post cringe. comments will be removed on a case by case basis depending on determined level of awareness and faith
4.) Interest Policing will not be tolerated in any form. Support your comrades in their joy!
