@mutualaid Sorry for continuously posting this, but this is an emergency! If £9.49 isn't paid today, my phone number will be deactivated! I'm very stressed and anxious right now!
Unpacking the dishwasher and then making my bed with one hand.. because I'm holding a bag of oats in my other hand.
Why? Because I have adhd and got distracted before making breakfast, so I've been carrying oats around the house for the last 20 minutes without noticing.
"I was born to a family that harnessed the winds and could read futures in fire and water. Yet my mother kept her secrets. Then the werewolf came, sharing his madness. Now it’s my turn to keep secrets...."
I am constantly feeling overwhelmed. I can't believe there are people who struggle the same as I do in situations like floods and wildfires, or trying to stay alive in places like Yemen or Syria or Gaza.
I tried being kind to myself and allowing myself to be half an hour late to work, as I was tired and still overwhelmed from yesterday. It didn't work out though as just as I arrived at work I had a big migraine and had to come home. Migraines are so strongly linked to overwhelm. It's like they're just another release valve for not coping with sensory input.
Do allistic people really need constant interaction with others? In person? It sounds horrific. I lived with other people for years. Often they want interaction. That's just brutal for the autistic mind isn't it? #Autism#autistic#neurodiverse#lgbtqi#ActuallyAutistic
The day when you take the achievement snatched from many year's of precious spare time moments, put on a cover & upload it to bookstores.
I'm there with epic #fantasy book 3/3 in my debut trilogy, and sad to let these beautiful, #queer, #neurodiverse characters and the found family they made go.
With this book, I pushed my ability to plot a complex, multi-civilisation conflict to its limits.
I loved every bit of it. I hope some of you do too.
When I sit and stare at something (I'm doing a lot of this the last few days) the material e.g. concrete, appears to undulate gently like the ocean. It's like I'm on a low dose of mushrooms all the time. Anyone know what this is about?
Hello #Mastodon! I'm a former practicing lawyer and professor. Looking to chat about #legal issues, #datascience (especially computational text analysis using Python and R 😉 ), and #travelphotography. I care a lot about equitable access to the court system for all peoples, including those who are #neurodiverse, in the US by way of #immigration, #black or people of color.
A quick reminder this #AutismAcceptanceDay: Some people are trans and Autistic. It doesn't matter why. What matters is that Autistic trans people are valued for who they are - just like any other trans person or any other Autistic person.
The reason autistic people identify as LGBTQI more than allistic people is a mystery still but the theory that we "just don't give a shit" is strongly endorsed in the comments. #Autism#autistic#neurodiverse#lgbtqi#ActuallyAutistic
