I really am appreciative for the support
I know I said I was sad about not having any IRL friends who live near me, but I don’t think I’d have a happier life if I had a handful of IRL friends and no social media followers.
I was overwhelmed by the number of DMs, and still need to respond to some ❤️

It was the right word, thanks.
It was one of the best weeks of my life until the meltdown

I feel like a different person today. I was in such a manic mood last week and now the air has gone out of the ballon.
I now regret sharing such a personal video, but I’m grateful that the replies were so supportive.

Thanks.
I’m going a bit crazy now because I haven’t been outside to go for a run or even a walk in over a week.
I’m about to mow the lawn, which should return me to normal somewhat

It’s a trait of autism to plan parts of conversations for upcoming interactions.
I’ve imagined feeing a bit embarrassed after my relatives thank me for the sourdough - and then I’ll say
“I’m just copying my sourdough teacher, who always makes an extra loaf in each batch to give away to someone”

The safe thing about sourdough is even a batch that you think is doomed will still be much tastier than a standard loaf from a bread machine.
I was nervous about this batch because I wanna give them to my many relatives who live in Pembrokeshire after I arrive there for a holiday tomorrow.

I don’t mind people saying that they already knew I was autistic because they saw that I was similar to other autistic people that they know.

Postcode and extended family were in the highest percentile for me if I were to compare my level 1 undiagnosed autistic childhood to others’.
I think school and home life were maybe in the lowest percentile.

I jump out of my skin whenever this woman interrupts my podcast accompanied by very startling noises.
Everyone should boycott IONOS imo

The part of my mind that decides when to wake up
‘4 sleep cycles is enough; you can wait to recover from your cold until you’ve made sense of everything about your life’

I chatted to my amazing autistic cousin today and I loved it so much.
Tomorrow, I’m chatting to my lovely aunt who is 4 years older than me. She is also about to see a doctor about being tested for autism!
Then I’m chatting to my best friend in the FPL community.
My life is already improving

I had originally put the stuff about studying Russian, making friends and playing poker in my first tweet, but deleted it because it seemed way less important than the other stuff
I added Russian, friends & poker to the second tweet a day later because the tweet would have been too bleak without it

Yeah, butterfly effect and everything.
I’ve been thinking about that re: whether I wish I’d had an early diagnosis

Kinda nice having a smaller, kinder audience again.
I tweeted more freely back when I had fewer followers there too.
I realise I’ve just bared my soul to 300k people, and everyone was very kind about it, but it was still super scary!

Hi Steve,
Thanks for letting me know!

I can understand if you're angry with me for staying on twitter, but leaving it would completely destabilize my life.
I wanna post more personal stuff (as well as my FPL content) here as well though

It's incredible!
I don't think I deserve this much love, and I really expected at least a few mean replies.

5 big mugs of tea per day (500ml)
the first 3 are full caffeine, the last two are rooibos.

the big bags are filled with soft plastic that we plan to recycle, so they aren't an obstacle

I watched 28DL for the first time a couple of weeks ago and their podcast episode on it was one the best they’ve ever done.
I haven’t watched 28WL yet.
How good is their pod episode on that? I’d have to become a Patreon to listen to it
