Society tells us rest is laying down and doing nothing. That's not what it looks like for everyone. In fact, it can be quite the opposite for some.

Are there any good books (or articles) explaining how neurotypical people think/behave that are intended as explainers for neurodiverse people? I'll ask #ActuallyAutistc

*written material preferred, but if you think a video is the best explainer for this topic, I guess I'll have to watch

Well that's the news I've been waiting for. @lornaslater has taken Edinburgh Central for @ScottishGreens. I'm very pleased; she's the only genuinely inspirational member of #Holyrood in this generation, in my opinion.

Hopefully a future #FirstMinister.

Also, although Angus Robertson would make a fine ambassador for Scotland, we do not need yet another machine politician.

[Pro tip if you are overstimulated]

I spend the whole day out of home yesterday and was super tired today. But fortunately I don't need to go to the office, so I spent my lunchtime under a weighted blanket, with brown noise in my headphones, my eyes closed and a cat sleeping near me. The best thing to reboot, ever. Really! #ActuallyAutistc #audhdlife

Ich ertrage es nur schwer, wenn irgendwo (fremde) Menschen reden.
Klar, diese Hintergrundkakophonie im öffentlichen Raum ist für die meisten schlimm.
Für mich sind aber auch so Sachen wir Hörbücher, Radio oder Podcasts ein Alptraum in Tüten...
