I’ve a ‘polite notice’ on my door that clearly states no cold callers/junk mail - religious/callers/mail is one of a few explicitly listed.
Why do religious bodies think it’s ok to ignore my request when political representatives & local businesses respect it?

For anyone who thinks being autistic is a superpower…..
I couldn’t sleep last night because my brain kept shouting “LUKE LITTLER” on repeat.
I’d like to swap my ‘superpower’ for sleep, invisibility or time travel.

My Tipsy Christmas party piece is usually “watch me do the splits”.
After breaking 4 bones it seems my new tipsy party piece is “look at my surgery scars”.

Just six minutes into watching the video and Georgia has already nailed it. The problem with the "is autism overdiagnosed?" debate is that (by using a sleight of hand) "overdiagnosed" doesn't mean what you think it means.

A young fella who looked like he was auditioning as a stranger things extra told me my hair was ‘sick’.
He followed it up with ‘that’s a good thing’ which made me feel about 200 years old.
Like I know ‘sick’ I was just drunk & my face doesn’t know what to do with nice comments.

For anyone who doesn’t know I broke 4 bones in my right leg & ankle. I’ve just discovered my ankles now have a new home. They ain’t even. It’s weirding me out so I’m away for a bath to play a ‘gauze or skin’ guessing game on my stitched like a stuffed pork loin wounds.

I’d like one that says “I don’t hate you, this is my autistic default face setting”.
Or
“Dear M&S security, I’m just autisticly navigating this sensory hell, not here to rob all the Percy pigs”.
What would yours say?
