I hope no one else has to go
through what I did let down by
social services and ignored when
I needed help most. The system
isn’t made for people like me. We
need better support for autistic,
grieving, and struggling people.
Everyone deserves better.

In latest news RFK JR has said that autism is now linked to circumcision. Well unless they cut it off and replaced it with a womb, I’m pretty I’ve never been circumcised. 🤔🤣🤣 #Autisticwomen #actuallyAutistic

I don’t share my story for sympathy.
I share it to show how far I’ve come. If
my journey helps even one person get
through their own hard times then it’s
worth it. That’s all I’ve ever wanted.

A Rottweiler dog standing behind the reception counter at a veterinary clinic is the subject of a humorous image. The dog is looking straight ahead, paws resting on the counter. Behind the counter are office file cabinets covered in business cards, fliers, and other papers. A sign is taped to the front of the counter with a picture of the same dog with the caption "I'm Doug. How may I help you?"

The image is split into two panels. The left panel shows a flock of sheep crammed into what appears to be a kitchen. The sheep are mostly white, with one black sheep visible. Some of the sheep have red markings on their wool. The right panel features a brown and white border collie dog sitting amongst some greenery with a sheep in the background in a field. The text above the images reads "Sheepdog puppy herds entire flock into owner's kitchen," followed by "Metro" and then "A prodigy." Below this, there is a comment by user "sindri42" that reads, "You missed the best part. They weren't even their sheep. This good pupper gathered up a bunch of random sheep it found somewhere on the countryside and brought them home for its human."

UK is a highly uncertain prospect because Farage is polling so well, and his program is potentially so disruptive and damaging, and might even threaten our normal democratic politics. This is going to take its toll now, making it even more likely that Farage wins in 2029.

Unless, that is, people understand the threat Farage poses, in which case the doom loop is broken. If they understood that now, of course, he would not be polling so well in the first place.

You should be proud.
There may be bumps in your road forward, but always remember you know & have proved you know how to manage them & continue going forward and up.
