Matthew | The Autistic CoachWhat are my #ActuallyAutistic comrades reading/listening to this weekend?
Autistic Book ClubIt's been a year since I've read a fantasy book and I've just started #ThePrioryOfTheOrangeTree by Samantha Shannon and I am LOVING IT! 🥰 📖
It is 848 pages long, which is making me so happy as books are never long enough...
Fantasy is the best escape from stress and I've missed it so much AND there's an equally massive (880 pages) prequel; I'm just so happy!
And the cover, perfect!

I've been out of hospital for 7 days and in recovery.
There is pain (Oxy is my BF) recovery is currently slow, but I'm alive!
I will write a post about everything, to warn others about the importance of second and sometimes third opinions, and how they can save your life.
I am overjoyed to have a future to look forward to! 😄
So excited to do more for the #AutisticBookClub and also, personally I want to learn the violin! 🎻

“Seeing The Unseen”
A documentary about Autistic Icelandic Women
I’ve never seen the documentary, the trailer was enough. It made me feel seen, and that I am not alone, and that there are others like me.
Even tho it says ‘women’ I think the emotion in this trailer is universally #Autistic
Trailer - Seeing the Unseen
So I need to say a thing, it’s a happy thing.
I got my pathology results back yesterday, and my CT scan results back today (I’m in hospital) and:
I DON’T HAVE CANCER!!!!!!! 🎉🥳💗😆💛😁
I can’t stop crying, it feels like I’ve been given my life back!!
SO GRATEFUL!! 💛💛💛
I LOVE YOU ALL! xxx

@DavidTanner @Unatributed @libreture @bookstodon I've been using #GoodReads which is easy to use and I quite like, also so many detailed book reviews.
Then because I love all things #Fediverse I tried #BookWyrm but it felt a bit lonely, so am now trying #StoryGraph which is better IMO than BookWyrm but I think I'm going to stick with Goodreads.

@btaroli You’re now in the Book Club and once you’ve been admitted you can RSVP to events, which I see you’ve done ☺️
Yes, we have 2 Book Clubs today for ‘Project Hail Mary’. There’s a list of international times on each event so you can figure out which time works best for you!
We’ll be talking about the book but also Autistic friendships and the Autistic ‘sense of justice’.
See you there!
