The Milky Way’s Center seen in Infrared

This dazzling infrared image from NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope shows hundreds of thousands of stars crowded into the swirling core of our spiral Milky Way galaxy. In visible-light pictures, this region cannot be seen at all because dust lying between Earth and the galactic center blocks our view.

Depression can be as crippling as any physical ailment. Often times loved ones believe that a depressed person needs a little push or a reality check when in reality they could use a friend. A depressed person is not seeking for anybody to solve their problems, but they would appreciate one human being who can treat them with the appropriate empathy they need. A few things we need to remember is that depression is not a choice, and it is not about you! Do not take it personally if your friend is depressed! Below are some essential social and sentimental facts about depression that you should be in tune with. 

It’s time for a Tale of Two Autistics. 

Autistic 1

can “pass” as neurotypical

not all of their friends believe they’re autistic

ran a psychology study

has won writing awards at the college level

got a 2380 on the SAT 

is starting a small business 

can care for pets without help

Autistic 2

can’t live independently

often forgets to shower

periodically goes nonverbal

can’t drive

can’t do bus transfers

incontinent

hates most clothing textures and rarely even wears matching clothes

can’t go shopping without help

So! You’d say that Autistic 1 is high-functioning and Austic 2 is low-functioning, right? 

Trick question! Both of them are me.
