Having the ASD diagnosis has definitely helped me become more compassionate towards myself, and also to others, so it’s been really useful. I mean I still don’t know why neurotypicals bullshit so much but now I understand that it’s not their fault 😂

I understand the sun isn’t rising/ setting, and that the earth is spinning on its axis away from/towards the sun, but I don’t understand why sunsets/sunrises look horizontal and not vertical then. Can someone explain?

The books I’ve read (1st three) and listened to (End times) in January.
My favourite definitely #anxiousgeneration Well written and full of the need for a more play-based childhood and more irl-freedom. Definitely recommend it to parents, teachers, everyone really!

I’ve just received the latest government guidance for Early Years Educators on potty-training. As well as some, I believe incorrect, ’facts’ that the later you leave it the harder it is, the government advice also includes a link to a shop!! I wonder whose government buddy benefits from those sales?

I bought this in Auroville and have only just finished it. Some parts are beautiful and echo my thoughts and feelings about things. Some parts were really harsh and yet they also made be laugh, so overall I loved it.

I thought about voting Labour in the last UK election, just to show my support for Diane Abbot, but couldn’t bring myself to, on account of Tory-lite-Starmer.
To hear about Trump calling him ‘nice’ makes me so relieved I had nothing to do with Labour being elected.

I was eating a whole fish in a restaurant, wishing it had been filleted. I imagined the fish saying, “Well excuse ME for having bones!! Maybe you could have just left me swimming in the sea! Did you ever think about that!!?” 🤔 I wonder what the meat and veg version of a pescatarian is called?

I’ve had my foot in a cast for 3 weeks now. Yesterday I went to a different doctor, to see if I could get it taken off, because its knock-on effect on my hips and back was so debilitating. They said the cast was on wrong, so they redid it and I’m no longer in pain when I walk 😁🎉😁

I am wondering, in the light of my recent asd diagnosis, whether anxiety makes us fearful of not knowing HOW to keep a conversation going and the autism is, also that but, with added WHY are we supposed to keep this weird small talk going anyway. Any thoughts?

The change, in UK, from TA to LSA, meant TAs were no longer there to assist the teachers. Instead of washing paint pots, and laminating resources, they were running support programmes. Qualified teachers are now cleaning and laminating, in the times they’d previously spend planning support.

www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio... This reminded me of when my mum fostered babies in the 70s, and one baby was returned when his adoptive parents discovered he was blind and had spinabifida. I was aged about 6 and assumed we would adopt him. I assumed wrong. It still makes me sad 50+ years later.

I am a banyan tree
Seed of my father
In the soil of my mother
Shifting shape and stretching
Into the unknown, yet still connected.
Every pillar root supporting
Further quests or misadventures.
I can put roots down in all these places.
I am not bound by origins,
I am freed by them.

Someone introduced me to this is my early days of 12Step recovery. I was mid-Step 4 and couldn’t understand why I was crying about something that had happened when I was 8. “You’re sad about it!” said my sponser. “Oh,” I said, incredulously, “Is that what it is?”
It has proved so useful ever since.

I'm really struggling to process all my emotions today. Anger, denial, betrayal, furious, stressed, fearful, overwhelmed, nervous...
As an #autisticwoman I like to use this from www.feelingswheel.com to help sort my emotions.

And it also might explain why I find sound baths torturous. And touching cheese is gross to me, but eating cheese is one of my favourite things.
“Can someone come and grate the cheese?” is often heard in my house.

Thought I’d spend more time dwelling on my new ASD diagnosis. Maybe I’m in a sort of odd denial (‘cos I’d predicted this outcome). Every now and then I get a 💡moment around some sensory stuff.
I don’t love cotton because I’m classy, it’s just that I literally can’t bear other stuff next to my skin!
