Not gonna lie, today's been a struggle. People who know you're autistic deliberately tricking you into thinking they're mad at you and laughing at your reaction is NOT cool.

Just been texting my mam about the rugby and she said, "As long as we finish higher up the table than England I'll be happy." 😂

We had a tech tour of the Bristol Old Vic yesterday morning and I was honestly not expecting the mix position to be such a tight space. All I could think of was how it would be way too easy to knock things over...

My latest post on Substack about a surprisingly positive travel experience. Literally just told my counsellor about this and even he was surprised.

I really need to try and post here more often, but have had a few days of limited social media due to burnout trying to creep in and having some recovery time at home.

Self-Advocacy Is Great... But It's Hard
Sometimes speaking up about our needs can be one of the biggest challenges.

I've learned a lot of things about being neurodivergent these past few months. One of the crappier ones is that plenty of people could not care less about making reasonable adjustments.

It is 4 degrees outside right now but about a hundred in my flat even with the window open. What is this insanity? Last night I had to sleep with a fan on, in JANUARY.

Happy New Year! One of the biggest things that happened to me in 2024 was finding out I'm autistic. I want to contribute what I can to the conversation around neurodiversity, so if you fancy joining me on that journey, here is my new Substack!

Seem to be getting just as many creeps following me here as on the other place, sadly.

Had a fantastic weekend in Manchester seeing Paul! He always amazes and I will never take it for granted. It was also lovely to finally meet one of my very dear Beatle friends @susanryan07.bsky.social in person, all the way from New York!

Just out of tech week, dress rehearsals start tomorrow and our first show is on Wednesday. Not gonna lie, it’s been a level of stress I have not experienced before.

Have come down with (another) cold and feel a bit tired and achy today. As if I wasn't tired enough already. Better feel some improvement by Monday because I need to be on my A-game for the next three weeks...

Genuinely can't remember the last time I came home and my flatmate's new boyfriend wasn't in the kitchen for 3 hours straight, getting in the way when anyone else is trying to cook. He's practically moved in. I've been on my feet for 12 hours, I'm tired and hungry. Can't be dealing.

This is quite nice actually. Reminds me of how the other place used to be, without all the nastiness. Hope it stays that way.
