"It's dangerous to go alone! Take this."

The Archers has been trending for a couple of days. The only "the archers" I know is the BBC Radio 4 drama about farming. Is it that or something else? #TheArchers

Have you ever tried journaling? Or if you find writing difficult, video or audio journaling? I find it a great way of organising my thoughts. That then helps me be more able to communicate them & often once they're organised I don't even need to. #AskingAutistics

I wonder if I'll ever be able to sign into bluesky without singing Mr. Blue Sky by ELO in my head? 🤔 #ActuallyAutistic

#AskingAutistics Does anyone else get this? 🧵 I loved having a day off yesterday. But also there was a big part of me that just wanted my routine & to be getting on with the things I would have been doing.

Well I fell asleep on the new sofa watching The Never Ending Story. I slept for that long that it had ended by the time I woke up🫤 I'm pretty sure I'm going to be more than okay sleeping on it for a few days if I can't make it upstairs after my op.

Q1: How good are you at recognizing and remembering faces? Good? Average? Not great? Awful? #AutChat

I've gone from not knowing what day it was when I woke up to having quite a productive day. I caught up on my housework & used the extra space during couple of hours I didn't have a sofa to shift all the furniture & hoover all the corners a lot easier. We got the bigger sofa in quite easily.

Sorted. 🧵 I was worried I'd be too blunt if I approached it while I was stressed. So, I got out of that headspace of rumination before speaking to her & was just open & honest.

I've got a friend who pops around too often for my liking. I love her to bits, but I have a heavy workload & limited energy. What's the best way to ask someone for a bit more space without hurting their feelings? #AskingAutistics #Autism

No way! Spinal Tap 2 is coming out. I can't wait. I feel comedy starved at the moment.

I turn 54 next year, and despite what some grim stats say about autistic life expectancy, I’m not planning to leave this mortal coil just yet. Autism isn’t a death sentence, neglect, lack of support, and social exclusion are. Let’s fight those.

Is it just me or does anyone else find pressing F5 refreshing? #AskingAutistics

I've got to have a hysterectomy soon 😬 I can't concentrate on work. So I'm spending today trying to find answers to questions like, how long will it take to recover & is there any weird side effects to be aware of.

🧵A couple of months ago I started pole dancing lessons, for exercise, fun & because it's something I'd have never of had the courage to do when I was younger.

Happy 50th Anniversary to the film Jaws

It was baking today. I think I got a bit of a tan.

When things go wrong people often say "that's typical". When things go wrong one ever says "that's autistic". Society knows 😏

On a better note Oliver McGowan Code of Practice went live today. Paula and Tom McGowan's campaign has helped transform care for people with learning disabilities and autistic people to highlight need that anything else. Despite Olivers tragic death www.gov.uk/government/p...

During this heatwave please remember to water your autistic friends

I've not been able to touch anything with my little fingers without it feeling icky to the point of painful since I was about 6 or 7. A month or so ago I broke the top knuckle of one of my little fingers & since then I can use the finger & touch things with it fine 🙃 I hope it stays this way.

I grew Raspberries & Strawberries & now I quite often pretend to be gardening, just so I can spend an hour daydreaming & secretly snacking 😄👍

It's been nearly 2 months since Winkie passed away. I still miss her like crazy.

You might be autistic if you take everything everyone says at face value and then be surprised when they do not act according to what they have said. This quite possibly effecting you for the week ahead.

How come my handles suddenly become invalid? It was valid from the time I joined until yesterday?

Hi guys. I'm a 42 year old late diagnosed autistic. I'm weird, but harmless 😂. I like art, music & comedy. I'm looking for followers in the autistic community. If you'd like to follow me, I follow everyone back. Thank you. #AskingAutistics #ActuallyAutistic

I've made an appointment to have my haircut & it only took a fortnight to build up to make the call 😀😂 #ActuallyAutistic

350 days until Christmas & the people next door have already got their decorations up 😐

How do I find other autistics on here?

Really enjoying Renfield.

I've just been looking at photographs of my old cat Winkie (born with one eye) as a kitten. I remembered her being cute but OMG

Hello Bluesky ☺️
