My dust and hay-fever allergies are so frequent that my friends have stopped saying "bless you" and instead just count the sneezes to see if I break my previous record. My high score is currently 8 in a row.

People who think autism is "trendy" and "a superpower" need to stop because I ate an original pringle this morning, noticed it tasted different, went to the supermarket and saw there was ONE ingredient change, and cried.

A bad thing about being late-diagnosed autistic is that whenever I do something funny, my friends can't say, "You should mention that in your assessment" anymore.

After a lifetime of struggles and 3 years of referrals, forms, and assessments, I have officially been diagnosed as autistic. I'm sure many friends thought I was already diagnosed, and to others, this may be a surprise. I am relieved and a bit overwhelmed.

I was tempted to preorder a Switch2 but before I got my email, Taylor Swift released a Fearless cardigan and I'm way more excited about that.

Have done another cinema day today, watching Flow, Opus, Mickey 17, and Inception. An odd mix, but I'm enjoying all of them!

Was supposed to be having my Official Autism Assessment today, after waiting for like 3 years, but I'm too ill to go and now I'm terrified I won't get given another chance.

Utilising my Cineworld Unlimited card today and planning to see FOUR films. My target this year is to see 100 (last year I reached 78), so this is a good start.

I had a hospital appointment today that turned out to be a bit of a waste of time, BUT I was really brave and asked scary questions, so I consider that a small win.
