Marathon training week 16: last long run before tapering starts. 4 hours, 32 kilometres. I’m going to eat cake in the bathtub now. 🤣🤣🤣🔥🏃‍♀️ #running #TeamLaufen #byebye02

Don't listen to what Elon Musk says about Germany and how it needs "saving". Listen to this instead. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/o...

I'm such an easy victim when it comes to ads ... It's not fair the internet remembers I impulse-bought a whole box of chocolate-covered dried mango ONCE and now only shows me chocolate-covered fruit, fuck off! 😭

People when you describe yourself as weird or awkward: but that’s what makes you YOU, be yourself, being quirky is fun, normal is boring ☺️🤗 People when you say you’re autistic: are you … sure? 🤔🧐

I have troubles recognising people if I don’t see them in the context I met them (for example work). And it’s been autism all along, who would have thought! 😂

Autistic Lexicon Prosopagnosia - an impairment with recognizing faces. By most estimates the co-occurrence of Autism & Prosopagnosia is very high and it can potentially explain many trends among Autistic people.

My cat when he jumps on the table meowing and I start to pet him: This is not what I came for (I came to tell you it's time for food). But it's nice. You may continue.

"Stop being so petulant," Mother says, turning up her nose and shaking her head. Petulant. I look it up in a dictionary. It's the wrong word. It doesn't describe what I felt when I pulled at my hair and squeezed my eyes shut. Behind the label of petulance, I'm stuck in my mind's pandemonium. #vss365

i'll be okay just let me catastrophize this first

Marathon training week 16: easy run, 11 kilometres with a sprint at the end. The cold is gone yay! (My cold and the general cold) #running #TeamLaufen

Everything will be okay.

This cold is breaking all my routines. Work, running, even writing because I have a headache. I’m struggling to allow myself to rest and to remember that this won’t erase my progress. I will run this marathon.

Yesterday I had the worst meltdown in a long time. And this is autism too: not being able to control the onslaught of emotions, so you grab what you can reach and throw it, or you punch something, or you end up hurting yourself. Now I know what this is and why it happens. But as a child, I didn’t. +

This is Chewy. He is a skater boy. She said see you later boy. He was way too good for her. All of her friends, stuck pup their nose. They had a pawblem with his doggy clothes. 12/10

Marathon training week 16: had to take a break due to a cold and went for a slow run today, to test the waters. The Sunday was very long without the usual long run 😅 #running #TeamLaufen

Was Geek Girl renewed? It wouldn't surprise me if not, because Netflix tends to kill good shows too early. Geek Girl was cute and I enjoyed an autistic character being played by an autistic actress. youtu.be/o0J0LcT4y2o

As an autistic person, I experience shutdowns and meltdowns. Sadly, everyone in my life (except my therapist and my husband) was always quick to demand "Stop this behaviour", but never had the idea to ask: "How do you feel during this? What do you think could help?" You can ask. We do have answers.

You think evil is going to come into your houses wearing big black boots. It doesn’t come like that. Look at the language. It begins in the language. —Joseph Brodsky

I know the tism is in my bloodline. My grandfather was the weird and isolated one, he never liked to leave the house. My mother threw a fit when something changed about her plans. I tried to lecture people about wolves in Primary School. It's like a string. Yet no one but me wants to see it. #vss365

The lady at my bakery - she knows me, I'm always ordering the same so by now she just asks "the same as usual?" - asked me if it's okay that she gave me the edge of the cake too and I was baffled. What do you mean they cut the cake so that an edge remains and they throw that away?! What the fuck?

I wanted to get so much writing done, but I can barely keep my eyes open or breathe through my stuffy nose. Maybe I should be writing about being sick today, writing in 4D.

Me as soon as I am sick and can’t go running: orders chocolate covered mango from online store shown in between Instagram reels.

Autism is a spectrum. As the saying goes if you’ve met one autistic person you have met one autistic person. Many are disabled. Not just by society. Some are disabled by society. Some don’t regard themselves disabled. Remember it’s a spectrum. We are all different.

Autism is a difference in neurology, a different neuro-type Autism is not a disorder Therefore, being autistic is not something that needs to be 'fixed' in someone Vaccines do not cause someone to be autistic (having autistic parents usually does)

Just a heads up: since this account turned out to be more about writing, running and personal stuff, I created a second account for fandom only: bsky.app/profile/audh...

Ravens are much larger than Crows. Like if you have to ask … it’s a Crow … Ravens are like … “Is that a weird dog in that Field??? … Zomg that’s a Borb!”

Marathon training week 16: fast 5km under 30 minutes + 1km slow cool-down. Had my first “boob incident” ever … my bra tore mid-run. Me, running 3km with one of my boobs out: weeeee 😂😭 Strange day. Good thing my husband made burgers. #running #TeamLaufen 🏃‍♀️

Sometimes the internet is a really nice place, like what do you mean someone was in a plane above an ocean and told the fear of flying group chat that she is scared because there are turbulences right now, so everyone started to comment nice things plus looked for the plane on flight radar?! 🥹 ❤️

I wanted to #liberate myself from fear. Wanted to get rid of her, forget her, throw her out of my head like an unwanted visitor. But all the fighting only made it worse, so I sat fear down one day and explained: I am the driver here, I'm in control, you're just a passenger, so listen to me. #vss365

Listen, things are fucked, but that doesn’t mean your accomplishments don’t matter. Wrote a book? Got accepted to a program? Recorded a song? One year sober? Whatever it is, share it. Maybe your joy will bring someone else a bit of joy, and we all need that.

writing is hard because you flip back and forth between "I am a literal fraud and this book will never be completed" and "I am a literary sex goddess and this book will earn me the affections of seven comely lasses" or maybe that's just me idk
