‘There goes the #chime on your phone again.’ ‘Yep. It’s a reminder for my daily jog.’ ‘So, you need to get going?’ ‘No, it’s ok. I’ll skip today and just do it tomorrow.’ ‘But you said that yesterday.’ ‘I know. It’s a running joke.’ #vss365

I din't think mistakes by the DWP are a bug. They are a design feature.

Notes from an older #autistic person. I was today years old when I discovered the joys of low abrasion undies during the 10km race at Goring. I think there may be wardrobe clear out and restock in the near future

Notes from an older autistic person. Android phones have a search function which allows you to find the phone app when you can't avoid making an actual phone call.

Notes from an older autistic. It's possible to have more than one special interest. The remains of my past ones build up in my home like a coral.

BBC News are describeing the Trump-Zelensky meeting as an "Extrordinary Exchange". For anyone who doesn't speak fluent British it roughly translates as "Holy shit! That was the mother of all cluster-fucks!"

I don't see how the UK can trust and remain in a special relationship with the USA after what I'm seeing now. No country can chose between a Trump or Putin dictatorship. Shame on America!

Someone should get Trump to look at the other side of the map. The big beautiful Bering Straight is only 53 miles between Alaska and Russia.

My painting is called 🌋Meltdown🌋| This piece depicts what it’s like for me to have a meltdown as an autistic person. I painted it because I can show you better than I can tell you, as someone who is highly dependent on visuals. #autisticartist #acrylicpainting #autisticadult #autismawareness

Now more than ever before, it's not just "nice" to see autistic by their strengths, including those with complex disabilities. It is literally the safer option.

Non-autistics don't understand special interests are important to us. That's enough isn't it? You don't need them to get it. And that's the way it always been. Autistics have interests and non-autistics don't get them. To paraphrase Lance from the Detectorists.

Notes from an older autistic: Having a job is only part of the challenge. I've had lots of jobs. Keeping them and finding a suitable job for interests and qualifications while avoiding burn out leads to career breaks and are bunch of other problems. And forget promotion.

“Autism is having to understand other people before you understand yourself, and no one making the effort to understand you. Which even you don't understand, because all your effort has been spent understanding them." from Life in Autism World #actuallyautistic #autism #adhd #neurodivergent

How can you be a #Disability ally? Educate yourself. Follow creators, listen to a podcast, read a blog post. There is a ton of content out there, and this is one of the best ways you can show that you care! #DisabilitySky

How can you be a #Disability ally? Share the burden. For example, if you’re planning an activity with a service animal, call ahead to learn about accommodations.

Notes from an older autustic person. The ability to communicate without making eye contact is an important life skill as anyone who has had a conversation while driving should be able to tell you. The same applies to phones. But they are an evil device and should only be used for mobile data.

Good start to year as I got a PB in 5km according to Garmin. The Parkrun course seemed .1 of a mile too long though so no record on that. Yes thank to those crazy volunteers getting up on New Years Day.
