In case I need to weed out any followers... Pro-Choice. Black Lives Matter. Science is Real. Love is Love. No Human is Illegal. Oh and...

His response to everything is "I don't know about that" or "I'm just learning about that now". It's so obnoxious.

I saw someone say "I've put more thought into not having kids than most people put into having them" and I felt that in my soul.

Echolalia is fun and all... Until you get the Stanley Steamer jingle stuck in your head on repeat for 12 hours straight.

I had a friend tell me they described me to someone as 'too Virgo to function' and I am simultaneously slightly offended but also in total and complete agreement. 🤣😂

My therapist asked me why I internalized that I was hard to love.

Easy. Some of the most important people in my life have asked me how to show me love. So I told them... and their response was that it was too hard for them to do those things and I shouldn't expect that of them.

Being hyper mobile is stepping just slightly wrong and feeling every tendon in your foot snap and wondering 'was that the usual pop, or did I break something this time?'

Living through this administration feels like being awake during surgery, while the surgeon tries to convince you that there is no way you could possibly be awake so stop screaming.

I talk about it constantly, because my relationships have become so much more difficult after my late diagnosis 🥲

I've gotten to the point in my life where I'm done asking to be important to people.

Nothing like another autistic saying "well we're both autistic" when I'm trying to explain my response to something and dismissing me.

Yes, we are. But the whole spectrum thing still applies. I struggle more with context and rigidity than you do.

Hey I'm doing this (though I am running the 10 mile race because I would actually die if I ran a marathon, I am pretty sure).

Good lord has this been a year of "I was their friend, but they weren't mine". My poor therapist.

Kat @thecolorplaid.bsky.social · Sep 30

I wanna see! If it isn't already during one of my 10,000 other sessions XD

I was told to expect to walk 5+ miles a day at #Dreamforce so I just got some dedicated walking shoes... Good thing I've been training for a 10 mile run prior to this!

Do I look smart enough to guest speaker on a webinar today? Cause I'm about to be...

Serious ask to the #hypermobile and #ehlersdanlos community... Is getting diagnosed worth it? And how do you even do it?...

Kat @thecolorplaid.bsky.social · Sep 23

No, cause like, ADHD is fun, cause what do you mean I ordered my favorite candy, but forgot I ordered my favorite candy three days later, and so I ordered it again?

I keep getting 'f*ck running, women need to walk!' fitness ads and me... A runner... Would like that to stop. I like to walk. But running gave me so much mental strength. It literally saved my life. It's not always about getting skinny. Sometimes it's about just helping your brain.

If there is one thing I'm always gonna get shitty about on the Internet, it's defending me and my fellow autistics. Everyone is suddenly such an expert in my lived experience it seems 🍿
