Daughter climbing a huge ancient willow tree earlier👇🏼.
Her: ‘This could be our tree’
Me: ‘I think it already is.’

Shifting gears to something more positive about autism-when my thoughts are v. noisy, angsty & low I arrange small good things neatly as mental medicine. It really relaxes my brain & it turns out the resulting photos also relax the brains of those look at them.

Just a reminder that questioning or negating a person's autism diagnosis,especially that of a woman*:
1 invalidates that person's lived experience-something that's has been shown to worsen a person's mental health
2 stigmatises what is a neurodevelopmental disability that they've had from birth 1/2
