Left X 6 months ago. Friends sending screenshots of multiple alt accounts i'm accused of being. I don't have the time or energy to be running multiple accounts just to harass someone who is extremely unimportant and who mean so little to me 🤷🏼‍♀️

A virtual clap to thank all the sensory toys and objects out there, that do an awful lot of heavy lifting to keep us regulated and which most people never know about or see 👏👏👏

Can we all just stop for a moment and look st how happy this autistic little girl is? No, autism doesn't have a 'look' and it doesn't represent all. BUT we are adults, not the target audience, and I think this will only raise awareness for kids and make many feel more comfortable using these aids.

The crash after a high is the worst. Feeling all the bad feels again after feeling so amazingly good and invincible. I'm full of regrets, debts, sadness, and tattoos. Back to work today after crimbo too, but at least it's a distraction, even if it is a grumpy one.

AUTISTIC LIVED EXPERIENCES NEEDED! I'm looking to speaking to autistic people (diagnosed and undiagnosed) about their experiences with emotions for my third book. Please DM me if interested.

ADHD wife's latest hobby: Stargazing Rating: 6/10 Pros: - Free - No equipment cluttering the house - Can only do it when it's a clear night Cons: - I have to partake in it - It's very cold and we might get murdered - Doesn't involve learning a new skill so less likely to get bored as quickly

The band - a rate photo of all three next to each other and not because they're fighting.

A year of grief and rock bottoms, but also a year of profound change that I hope will make 2026 a year of healing.

Hearing about @rwillowfish.bsky.social has broken my heart. She was someone I really admired, she was always authentic, honest and fought for her her beliefs and experiences of mental illness to be heard. Her drawings always touched me, so talented. Rest in peace x

PRE-ORDER NOW! 'Dealing with Change, Loss and the Unexpected: A Practical Guide for Neurodivergent Adults' amzn.eu/d/bez9jE4

Happy Christmas week!

Went back on X for 48 hours and my soul has already been crushed by the state of humanity 😭🤣

Our little prince is 2 today!

New book deal! 'Please don't ask me how I feel'. A book all about autism and emotions. Very excited to get writing.

What I don't get about the government looking into 'overdiagnosis', except for everything, but mainly - do they think if they stop diagnosing people those people magically become better or don't have needs!?

Elon's little serfs are quite literally begging journalists to come back because every publicly available source of data shows people have fled the platform and young people won't use it. They are literally begging regular people to come back. Don't do it! It is a website by and for actual Nazis!

First week of annual leave is going well. Got unexpectedly referred to Home Treatment Team Friday, literally as I was finishing up for the week. Lots to still look forward to though - I have a shit tonne of marking to get done and an operation on Tuesday...

Not the official subtitle or cover, but excited to see this book start to take it's first steps into the big wide world www.waterstones.com/book/dealing...

Festive Walter - can't say i'm feeling optimistic about this staying up long... 🎄🎅🐱

Trans girls should be allowed in Guides groups. Local groups are calling for this decision to be reversed. This ban will affect a tiny number of trans girls, who will be mentally benefiting from groups like these AT NO COST TO ANYONE ELSE. click.e.change.org/f/a/mbq6MsL0...

Today, i'm off for an 'in-person' day in my new job. I used to commute and work in London every day, but I haven't recovered my agoraphobia since Covid. I've worked remotely for the last 4 years and been too unwell to get to my office. London, new people, and autism. What could possibly go wrong!?

Another day, another beautiful cat portrait pic. You're welcome.

It amazes me when people who are anti-psych meds put so much faith in therapy, as if that is a more exact treatment method. After years in therapy, where I have gained some stuff, i've recently become quite disillusioned by it. 1/3

Norman would like to show you his new fresh hair cut, lamb soft belly, and super long white whisker he's been growing. Our softest boy!

Imagine coming down to this monster, waiting for his prey, ready to pounce, first thing. Terrifying.

Scrapping luxury cars from motability just drives more anger towards those claiming motability. They're fixing a problem that only exists because they made it one. These cars make up 5% of motorbility cars. The government pays no extra for them. www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/cost-of...

Well, this made my day/month/year. Sophie, a super talented 12 year old autistic artist re-designed my book cover for a school project. I have to say, I think it looks better than the original, she's nailed it!

Diagnosed autistic 50+? You need to hear this 👆 From The Hidden 20% podcast with Professor Francesca Happé #autism #autistichttps://www.facebook.com/share/r/1CTeYco6h5

My stalker continues to stalk in my absence. I have to say, this has been the most hurtful thing said so far: "Mind you, it's prob typical for someone who let's a cat sleep on her head all night". Scout is not impressed.

You can leave X, and people will still be chatting shit about you. Some people really can't stand not being able to get a reaction from you.

The fear mongering of this article, and the mental illness shaming in the comments is seriously pissing me off. People saying the kids must have been so scared (they had no idea) and they could have been deranged child killers... www.echo-news.co.uk/news/2562256...

What if you tried experiencing having one first?

Being autistic is hard enough Dont make it worse by gate keeping other people’s experiences

New documentary coming out on how Hitler was probably autistic, but the producers are keen to make sure their findings don't cause stigma for the condition...

This is sort of a myth, but I don't think it's untrue, however I think there are certain traits that make it seem this way. 1. Black and white thinking leading to 'right' or 'wrong'. 2. Experiencing a lot of injustice in life. 3. Not always understanding intentions

Anti-psychiatry professors when confronted with the reality of mental illness:

The autism book i'm reading now, the author says how much she lost not being diagnosed earlier, how much easier school would have been, how much less bullied she'd have been. But i'm not sure. I completely agree earlier diagnosis is essential...

Do you even love you cats if you don't make them their own lounge, knowing they'll never use it?

I hope everyone who donated to David Cartland's "legal fees" are happy to know he spent the money publishing the most poorly written and researched book ever seen 🤦🏼‍♀️

The best part of being here instead of the other place is not having to spend all day discussing and arguing about antidepressants. It seems only one narrative was allowed on there.

One of the reasons I left X. People seem to think they can gatekeep who's allowed in the 'club' and whose diagnosis is accurate and who's isn't. Continual in-wars around levels of support needs too now.

There's a town in the UK with a Reform MP who can't put up Christmas lights because of the flags, and they can't take down the flags because Reform promised they wouldn't... 🤣

'Taking off the Mask' has just had rights sold to a Hungarian publisher 🥳 Think we now have a Italian, Korean, and Hungarian version now! amzn.eu/d/6MfmS9s

you should deactivate your twitter account right now. RIGHT now. go deactivate it now. never log in again. stop giving him traffic!!

A man stabbed multiple people on a train near to where I used to live, and now people are just desperately trying to find a reason to blame it on any minority group they can find he belonged to, as evidence of them being the problem 1/

Being autistic in a capitalist world means you’re constantly asked to prove your humanity by performing productivity. And then they wonder why we burn out.
