#autismdiagnosis — Public Fediverse posts

Random thought, as I continue to reflect on this recent autism diagnosis: what if I had been allowed to LIVE (be curious, be experimental, try things and fail) as a child growing up, instead of being forced to simply SURVIVE….? I know the situation and the time period I was in made that impossible… But it makes me both curious and sad.. 😔

Does your Autism get mistaken for TQ+?

Send me your experiences about having autism go unrecognised, misdiagnosed or ignored, by the professionals and civilians.

My obsession with The Dude, is a complicated, a lotta ins, a lotta outs and a lotta what-have-yous!

I wrote about surviving the square world as an #ActuallyAutistic person, work and adulting woes, comfort viewing and Echolalia in The Big Lebowski!

Is Along Came Polly "reeking, radioactive rubbish" or the most underrated rom-com of all time? I certainly think so & I am prepared to die on this hill!

I also argue that it's an unintentional meta commentary on the struggles of living as an undiagosed AuDHDer in a neurotypical world! Read more here ⬇

Writing is hard and rejection is even harder, but it’s all part of the one package. So it might not seem like much but last week I reach 100 subscribers (and still growing)!

Thank you for joining me on this new adventure exploring neurodivergence through film and stay tuned for more adventures down the rabbit hole!
