I feel obliged to give constant apologies for existing as a neurodiverse person in a neurotypical world.

In the end, there was simply too much to talk about. So I’ve decided to talk about scarves. 

I hate to burst anyone’s bubbles, but I do not speak for the Autistic community.

I sobbed as I delivered my speech. It was so cliche, I might as well have broken into a teary rendition of ‘For Good’. But it was all true.

I don’t want to be an interfering busybody lecturing on the rules of the train carriage, but I’d rather be that than the meltdown monster I become when it all gets too much.

Sometimes, when I wake up at night and my dogs are lying around me, I have to reach out and check they are still breathing.

I trust you will share this with the others, as they need to see this as well. You were not the only one. Not by a long way.

I had a good day yesterday. I also had a meltdown in public yesterday. Holy oxymoron, Batman!

I have been told that I am a ‘high-functioning’ Autistic. 90% of the time this is a last ditch attempt to try and get me to stop talking.

Do you ever feel like someone has dropped a box of bees in your brain?
