I think it went well! It’s been great talking with so many people after & hearing their reflections. Looking forward to more of that over the weekend ❤️

Because of the way I put together this talk I don’t have a coherent written version now, but I’m aiming to have one to share in the next few weeks

Lightbulb Moments: Being Autistic is an animation about those things that people tend to think are just individual quirks, until they realise they're common Autistic experiences.

It's so important to feel seen!

Many of these are very commonly misunderstood.

Here’s the other one bsky.app/profile/ferg...

First up is Discovering You're Autistic, about the experience of realising you're autistic, and the things we've found most valuable for anyone starting out on that journay.

Realising that there are many other people out there with similar experiences is so powerful.

Another photo because the video quality was terrible

I hope Kifl is okay

That’s so great to hear!

Same! I read it the first time trying to parse it that way then I was like, ‘Ohh, maybe this is monster fiction?’ and tried to parse it again before I realised it was an actual kitchen incident (and presumably not metaphor for anything) 🙃

*forgotten 🤦

In my hurry to repost this I’d gotten that there is a version with image descriptions. Sorry about that!
