What the actual.. ok I'm going to have to listen

You care about people other than yourself? 🤪

Ah, with family I meant my partner and the kids. Adult autistic conversations are where it's at 😄 I want friends who pebble and info dump.

I read somewhere that dating someone with ADHD is like microdosing Wikipedia and my partner at the time was like "yup"

I don't know about you but I don't find that I miss it, the social capacity I have is limited and I want spend it wisely.

I have no choice on spending it at work, but I want to keep the rest for my family.

Being apolitical in the current climate is a red flag

This is illegal behaviour

I mean that tracks..

There's nothing wrong with us for being autistic in and of itself.

I'm not going to be ending friendships with neurotypicals, because they're my friends.

In the nicest possible way, this isn't about them. It's about me and thinking about it makes me feel less anxious. 5/fin*

*I may have more thoughts later

I'm not looking to never talk to neurotypicals, but the world is your safe space.

I want a safe space where I can be myself, so I will prioritise making friends within my neurotype because it's easier. 4/n

This is the opposite of regular interactions that tire me out, for years I've thought of myself as an introvert. 3/n

If you're part of the neurotypical majority, I imagine that you don't spend your days like this.

Being around people who think like me (neurotype) is like a balm, it enables me to put down my mask and ACTUALLY ENGAGE in a way and a style that's honest to me. 2/n

Paging @heatherqlj.bsky.social

Please stop subtweeting me and every other autistic 😅

It's a labradoodle (😂)

But seriously it's a sphinx cat, she gets tucked up like a baby every night in winter otherwise she screams to be let in the bed..

It was unexpected but I wasn't surprised when they said it. The shortage of ADHD meds has been ongoing for years now.

I'll find out what meds they're offering in 6 months time, they couldn't tell me in the initial assessment as they weren't allowed to do so.

Hoping for slow release!

Weird, my Heather gets called Emma 😂 seems like no one gets their own band!
