It’s April 1, and so begins the 2025 r/fantasy book bingo challenge! Starting my thread here.

Feel free to recommend stuff (no guarantees I’ll read it, but chances are better if it’s gay as hell).

Autistic Burnout - Supporting Young People At Home & School. Neuroaffirming ways to spot the signs, reduce demands & offer support.

A graphic titled “Feedback” in pink script font. Below, a testimonial reads: “This updated piece ‘Autistic Burnout – Supporting Young People At Home & School’ from Autistic Realms is one of the clearest and most compassionate explanations I’ve seen of what autistic burnout actually is and how it can look when children become home-based or can’t manage school or everyday outings. It explores how social and sensory demands can exceed capacity, leading to exhaustion, withdrawal, and a deep need for safety and recovery, and how what’s often seen as ‘refusal’ is in fact a child protecting their overwhelmed nervous system. It also offers clear, practical guidance on low-demand, neuroaffirming support and on recognising burnout before it becomes a full crisis. Highly recommend this read for any parent, carer, educator, or professional wanting to understand what’s really happening beneath ‘attendance difficulties.’ 💛” — Canary SEND, Oct 2025 At the bottom left is the yellow Canary SEND logo with text: “Action. Change. SEND Rights. Neuroaffirmative, trauma-informed SEND support and advocacy in Brighton & Sussex. Canary SEND helps families with school refusal, emotionally based school avoidance, and SEND rights.” In the lower right corner is the Autistic Realms circular logo with the words “Autistic Realms: Neurodiversity Affirming.”

I don’t understand why people who hire me to run their ads give me worse creative than what they are using themselves.

No, the up and down of peddling is rooooough! (The calcium deposits are on the greater trochanter, so anything involving the femur sucks.)

I don’t have access to a pool, as far as I know. I do have being wet but would consider it just to get moving again.

Trying to embody a sense of calm about whether my kid goes to school. He hasn’t been back since that brief stint last Wednesday. Progress isn’t linear though, right??

(I am not calm. I am tied up in knots just like I was when this started last year.)

I wanted to check out a Netflix show with Dez so I told him Elon Musk didn’t want us to watch it (which is true) and now he’s all in.

After roughly 18 months at home due to severe autistic burnout, my 11yo went back to public school today (his own choice).
