I 100% recommend @pierrenovellie.bsky.social's book Why Can't I Enjoy Things? - hands down the best first person book on autism I've read. Obviously everyone's experience is different so I also echo others' advice to just talk to other ND folk about their experience and realise you're not alone!

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

One little detail in A House of Dynamite completely took me out of the action: all of the letters in the WH briefing room were the correct way up. Complete fantasy. Might as well have been set in Narnia.
The White House briefing room. Four Hs. Three of them are upside down. And it’s been that way since 2007.

This is such a clear and useful article. Why does the phrase ‘the really important step was taken by David Cameron and Nick Clegg’s coalition government’ not surprise me?
I wrote this to explain how we reached this point, in the hope it would be a resource for people arguing with friends and family, people with questions, perhaps even people thinking of joining a protest. Do share with anyone who might find it useful. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Targeted by the right, Britain’s asylum hotels are places of fear and disorder. Bad political decisions made it so | Daniel Trilling
