Thanks for all the spoons. In return please enjoy the tiny fossil below, it's from my talk, deets in the alt text. Talks still not done and it's looking like crap. But it's more finished that it was.

Microscope photo of a tiny 3.2 billion year old microfossil that looks like a the little grey ghost of a raisin. It's about 20 microns long, or 0.02 mm

“High-functioning” means people ignore your struggles.
“Low-functioning” means people ignore your strengths.
Stop boxing us in.
Start listening.
Labels don’t tell the whole story, labels harm

Autistic decision-making isn’t just mental.

It’s sensory.

It’s relational.

It’s embodied.

Every option is a whole landscape we feel in our bodies - and sometimes, that’s too much to walk through alone.

We need support.

It does feel like everything, everywhere, all at once.

Tweet from Brian Allen: “🚨 RFK Jr just said circumcision causes autism, but not because of the procedure. He claims Tylenol is to blame... and says ‘two studies’ prove it. We’re officially in conspiracy multiverse madness.”
Below, a C-SPAN screenshot shows RFK Jr speaking at a table during a Trump administration cabinet meeting.

More than half of ALL government shut down days in the history of America have come under just one president.

Simply put, the man is a terrible leader.

Hi, are still you thinking we will get a x2 insiders points day or two before Black Friday - I’m after Ninjago City Markets too :)

Appreciate your videos (am AuDHD too) & support a fab organisation that uses Lego to support Autistic kids

Ps I’m not a Trekkie lol just pretty ordinary

#AuDHD #Lego

Lego built castle in Ninjago or Japanese style Light grey walls with nougat coloured foundations. Entrance via a gold decorated bridge leading to 2 red doors with water and plants underneath. 2 red lamps hang below a line of decorative red windows. Above sits a two tier black tile and red fancy roof with window. A small Ninjago dragon sits on a red gold decorated railing.

Autistic truth makes people uncomfortable because it’s not performative.

We name what’s broken without decorating it.

It’s not rudeness.

It’s clarity.

And clarity is sacred.

The best part about having the million hobbies flavor of ADHD is that I’ve tried a LOT of fun and interesting things and I’ll be a lifelong learner.

You’ve learned to perform competence at any cost.

But behind it is exhaustion.

Autistic joy is radical.

Because it’s not about success or normalcy.

It’s about existing without shame.

It’s about your bodymind feeling safe enough to be loud, quiet, or still.

Embrace it 💙

I have big teaching talk to do Monday on trauma with Irony of having new trauma I’m desperately trying to deal with, burntout & tired as feck

But we always seem compelled to do our best no matter what, we’re stubborn about that

I bet you’ll crack it with some loud ‘instrumental metal’?

Thank you

A temporary ‘trauma response’

Am doodling occasionally though :)

The irony

The irony of someone saying they’re fed up having to repeatedly keep reminding you about something and you then have to repeatedly remind them (responding to their accidental prompt each time) it’s due to you being ADHD

That
