Every time someone in my adult life has said "it's not possible", "sometimes we have to make hard decisions", "we have to make grown up decisions", "it's not realistic" - that person has always been trying to make excuses for a horrible decision and they've always been wrong

Wow. I just found a brilliant video. I don't think I've seen Autistic meltdowns portrayed so vividly. I've had events where everything seemed to go wrong all at once and it just cascaded into chaos.

1) Table view. All of our garden is grown on undisturbed soil - I’m only interested in gardens grown using the existing soil structure, working with and not obliterating the soil life that exists there already. For me, this is an important focus as the climate for the UK changes.

For once it would be nice to actually be interviewed for a job I apply for, instead of getting impersonal rejection after rejection with no feedback whatsoever.

Autistic people don’t use big words to show off or to be condescending.
We use them because we may not know the small-word alternatives, the big words are more accurate, or the small words can’t express the depth of what we’re experiencing.

There's a current narrative that everyone has ADHD these days, that it's a fad, and diagnoses and medication are handed out like tic-tacs.

Crank up the volume and lap up those joyous sounds of early spring. A little film from Pen Llŷn last week with some of my favourite sound recordings, including the pure dusk chorus of Blackbird and explosive dawn greeting of Song Thrush. Mwynhau, enjoy 🎧🎶
