Urgh, it's Monday again. Started the day well by repotting a plant (Paula) who was on the lean. Am trying to muster myself to start work early but it's honestly not going well 🫠 Who has something that's not soul destroying planned for today?

I just discovered synaesthesia is more common in autism. I have sequence-space synaesthesia - I can see numbers and the year and the week as a spatial form. Certain parts are higher or squarer. How about the rest of my autistic brethren, is anyone a synaesthete?

Now on the 3rd LOTR book on Audible. Feel the need to buy the Middle Earth atlas cos I have no clue! Then of course I'll need to listen to it all again.

Finished The Hobbit in Audible. Interesting to see where the film embellished the story. Started Lord of the Rings this morning. Only 22 hours for the first book!

Ah the fun of running on adrenaline instead of dopamine! Marking from 03:30 until 08:30 this morning to hit a deadline. Short breather then on to the next deadline. I wonder what it's like not to do things at the last minute? 🙃

Jeez, this insidious creep of nationalism is worrying. This has implications for every aspect of life. Don't think anything is immune...

What an excellent but exhausting weekend. Went to teach on a dissertation residential school run by the university psychology society, and also on a neurodiversity symposium they were running at the same time. Met some lovely people and I feel my AuDHD journey was well received #ADHD #autism

Giving a new lecture on a module I haven't taught today - why am I so nervous? It's a really simple introduction to psychology lecture that actually looks quite fun. Ah, the imposter syndrome never goes away!

My ADHD brain has real trouble focusing on reading. I've recently discovered Audible - listening to books on my 5km walk every morning is a revelation. Currently 6 chapters into The Hobbit. I can see this is a delightful rabbit hole to disappear down. Any recommendations? 🤓

A new place! Still exploring and finding people to follow. I am absolutely rubbish at this, so this could be my one and only post!
