The autistic tendency to stay up late because:

- nighttime is when the world finally slows down (quieter, fewer demands, less sensory input)
- you’ve been randomly hyperfocusing
- “do not perceive me”
- SPECIAL INTERESTS! ❤️
- transitioning to bedtime can be hard
- your circadian rhythm is chaos 🫠

Trying something new lately. This is a work in progress obvs, using coloured ballpoint ink pens and metallic watercolours by Shimmer Drops Paint. I’ve been blocked in my art for so long and it turned out I just want to do elaborate doodles.

Late to the party because I've been at a different party but HEY! North Americans! Want a super beautiful hardcover comic about the jolly start to a doomed expedition? For only TEN MEASLY DOLLARS? How about an e-book for 5? At that price, you can donate a copy to your local library, too!

I’m on the hunt for a game that works like a cats cradle. Passing fragile patterns between players to result in the temporary production of an arrangement. Any suggestions?

Have had a good time at the British Academy of Audiology conference - have learnt so much and met many great people - but my brain is full now and my social battery is definitely empty. 😑

I’ve always hoped for an app like this! Lichens are great indicators of air quality:
Many lichen species are sensitive to nitrogen pollution, making them natural indicators of air quality.

📱LicheN is a new app enabling people to help monitor air quality using lichens. Data gathered will improve understanding of N pollution and its impacts on ecosystems.

Plant a wildlife hedge instead of building a fence! It could help hedgehogs, bumblebees, blue tits, robins, frogs, bats, toads, dunnocks, butterflies, moths, blackbirds, solitary bees, wrens, hoverflies...
A quick guide to hedges:

The best neurodivergent inclusion can be kinda invisible.

It’s going somewhere and seamlessly being able to use my AAC.

It’s being given time to process options, or make a decision.

It’s spaces with careful lighting + noise design.

Solving little day to day barriers so everyone can thrive :)

Interesting perspective on a downside to keeping honey bees - the effect on wild bees. I’m an ex-beekeeper with a lot of respect for Dave Goulson. youtu.be/fiBYBmlKSYU?...

Ah pinball, one of my favourite ways to relax.
#OnThisDay #OTD October 1990, #TheSimpsons pinball game was released by Data East Pinball. It has been cited as helping increase the popularity of pinball machines at the beginning of the 1990s.

Random day out to the Kidderminster Railway Museum beside the Severn Valley Railway. Turns out it is their Diesel Gala - loads of people there and wonderful to see lots of autistic joy. A day to remember 😃

Thank you Shaun @sgv.bsky.social for telling me about the Merlin bird id app - it’s brilliant! Unusual pair of birds heard just now.

Out for a short ride on my bike today - a great high being outside in nature. Then a plummet to real anger caused by a super simple problem - turns out the tubes on the tyres of my newest bike have a weird valve (Dunlop) so my pump wouldn’t connect.

Yes! Brilliant to hear @drmbothapsych.bsky.social just now on Radio 4. Speaking truth to bullshit about the non-existent link between autism and paracetamol.
Thank you, Monique 👊
