Honestly, I don’t know anyone who gets accurately diagnosed without social media because, like, the amount of times I have been referred for things and doctors have gone “yeah, no, no idea what’s happening there - I agree it’s fucked up though”
And then it turns out that the thing in question is a symptom of a common co-morbidity with autism
Honestly, it’s so fucked
And I’m just as obtuse. It will take me seeing dozens of posts and being like, “Well, I’m not hypermobile because I’m not flexible - I just have really fucked up joints and posture and I stand weird but that’s just a bunch of different things”
And then finally one post will be like “yeah, you might not be flexible, your muscles might be tight instead” and another will be like “yeah, it’s not normal to lock your knees when you stand and walk and stuff, that’s a hypermobile thing” and I’ll be like fuck
And I’ll also be like “I don’t have POTS, I don’t faint - I just feel like I’m going to faint a lot and my GP said that was probably post-viral fatigue I picked up from somewhere, or sensory overload, and I can usually get it to go away by drinking sports drinks and eating something fatty like avocado or cheese or chorizo”
And then I’ll see another post like “yeah, cold hands and feet are also symptoms, and you usually manage it by keeping your electolytes up and eating little bits of fatty food throughout the day” and I’m sitting here, like, with cold hands and feet that doctors have agreed is fucked up but “eh, it’s not raynaud’s, so who the fuck knows” like… Okay, maybe we should test for this… You know, just in case…

It’s so difficult to explain how bad sensory issues can get to someone who doesn’t have them
Like, we’ve had to do some deep cleaning stuff this week, so home is no longer a sensory safe space, and I genuinely feel like I have the flu
It’s supposed to be my turn to cook tonight, but the recipe I’ve got is cooked in a pan, and I’ve had to tell my housemate that they might have to take over if the humidity and food smells get too much
I made a creamy gnocci last night that was absolutely delicious, but I struggled to eat it because I was so nauseous by the time I was done cooking

Time to tap into the special interest network
If you follow any sewing tutorial people who are plus size, drop a rec in the reblogs/replies
I’ve finally managed to get a new sewing machine and I’m not convinced any of these tiny girlies’ skirt tutorials are going to work for me - I’m pretty sure I’m gonna get a midi in the front and a mini in the back…

Honestly, if you’re just starting out as a writer, hoping that it will one day be your job, and you need to force yourself to find confidence, I’m gonna suggest practicing your signature
Because it’ll trick your brain into being, like, yes, I will be signing books for fans in the future
But also, you do not want to be at your first convention, with someone holding out a book for you to sign, only to suddenly remember that you have the fine motor skills of a potato and you’ve never actually considered how you were going to sign things

Honestly, at this point, I feel like an adult autism/ADHD diagnosis should also come with instant referrals (for people who aren’t already diagnosed) to people for connective tissue disorders, IBS, POTS, PCOS, OCD, fibromyalgia, eating disorders…
My ADHD docs were actually checking me for eating disorders, but everything else, I keep realising something I thought was another disorder is just part of autism/adhd (like intrusive sleep), or it’s likely a very common comorbidity…

I feel like a somewhat disregarded aspect of modern internet callout culture is the impact on people with anxiety or paranoia or intrusive thoughts and how the general sentiment of "bad things will only happen to you if you're bad, so just be good all the time" just exacerbates obsessive self flagellation
For once I'm actually happy about one of my posts blowing up because I so rarely see discussions about OCD and OCD-flavored anxiety and paranoia as they relate to social media, which leads to things like posts with major OCD triggers blowing up like crazy ("if you don't rb this I don't trust you" type shit). Every so often posts go around with good information but that are worded in an extremely triggering way meant to guilt trip you into sharing it and it makes me really sad because you could've just left that off!!

Heads up for people who are sensitive to high pitched noises
This Thursday's episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds repeatedly uses a high-pitched noise which had me wanting to rip my ears out of my head, and left me with mild tinnitus for several days after I watched the screener.
And I am not sensitive to high pitched sounds, and I don't usually suffer from tinnitus.
Since people were caught unawares by the strobes in the season premiere, I'm attempting to spread the word.
I tried watching via speakers, rather than headphones, with the volume barely audible, but the ringing is so much louder than the dialogue audio, it was still awful
I’ve muted the episode and am now watching via subtitles, and I would genuinely recommend either doing the same or just giving the episode a miss
