Niamh Garvey<p>Virtually attended an interesting talk on <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/PDA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PDA</span></a> at todays <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/NeurodiversityIreland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NeurodiversityIreland</span></a> summit. Was very interesting; talked about a paradigm shift about giving PDA kids a lot more control and autonomy to calm their nervous system. Still feel unclear about how one would achieve a balance between maintaining boundaries to ensure respect and kindness, and making life manageable as an adult, versus handing a LOT more autonomy over to kids.<br><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/actuallyautistic" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>actuallyautistic</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/actuallyadhd" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>actuallyadhd</span></a></span></p>

Karl Baron<p>So after finding the MP130 page on the PDA-Soft website, today I decided to take it apart further to see the other side of the board, at U43.</p><p>Hmm, he’s looking a bit askew.</p><p>Poking at it lightly with a tool pick, and just just fell off! Well there’s your problem!</p><p><a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/Newton" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Newton</span></a> <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/PDA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PDA</span></a></p>
Karl Baron<p>Spotted a Newton 130 advertised as not working, and picked it up for $34. While until now I've had luck with several "not working" devices just being user error, even if it actually doesn't work, it's still worth the price in parts (like the pen! My only other Newton pen has fallen apart, and I've literally never seen another Newton pen for sale, just lots of eMate ones)</p><p>Well it just arrived, let's take a look</p><p><a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/VintageApple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VintageApple</span></a> <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/Newton" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Newton</span></a> <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/PDA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PDA</span></a> <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RetroComputing</span></a> <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/mb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mb</span></a></p>

Scowling Canuck<p>As I'm processing this PDA thing and the way it's been breaking my life for...my entire life...I realize that despite being (I hope) an ally and advocate for people with disabilities, I actually have a CRAP TON of internalized ableism.</p><p>Like: thinking I'm just a burden because I can't human properly; expecting too much from myself; thinking that I'm only worth something if I'm doing a "real" job; etc.</p><p>I don't think those things about other disabled people, so why am I punishing myself?</p><p><a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/ADHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ADHD</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/PDA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PDA</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/PDAautism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PDAautism</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ActuallyAutistic</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/auDHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>auDHD</span></a></p>
