Living with Autism in Bedford

How autism (HF) impacts my daily life as an adult. Me: female & diagnosed aged 45 #ActuallyAutistic #DemandAvoidance #AnxietyAndMe #AutismAndWork #Bedford

I thought that Twitter would be a good idea, but my anxiety thought otherwise!!!

So instead I use Twitter to watch the world as that is all I can manage most days.

My main focus is on Bedfordshire and mainly for work.

@JeremyVineOn5 @theJeremyVine This is false information. It is NOT easy to get benefits

[Living with Autism in Bedford @AutismNtAwkward]

@NessaSpratticus Report the post to X. This is blatant false information. It needs to be stopped

[Living with Autism in Bedford @AutismNtAwkward]

Report this post for false information. I used the Civil Integrity button. Let’s stop this misinformation!!

[Conservatives @Conservatives]

Conservatives are the only Party with a plan to Get Britain Working Again 🇬🇧

[Living with Autism in Bedford @AutismNtAwkward]

@Conservatives It’s impossible to get PIP if you experience MILD anything. The criteria is very strict, you have to prove significant issues in a number of areas. This is false information!!

@NessaSpratticus @stocktonwriting That’s great news. Looking forward to reading it

Meet Hugo Bat. I made him for Bat Appreciation Day. Enjoy.

I kept myself busy in February by making these 3 Animal Friends of Pica Pau.

[Living with Autism in Bedford @AutismNtAwkward]

@NessaSpratticus Looks beautiful

[Living with Autism in Bedford @AutismNtAwkward]

@Shame_On_TEWV Followed

[Living with Autism in Bedford @AutismNtAwkward]

These animal friends of Pica Pau are looking for a new home. No charge apart for £6 postage. They are a gift. But if you run a mental health account I will send for free. No strings attached

[Living with Autism in Bedford @AutismNtAwkward]

@Shame_On_TEWV If you are on Instagram check my account NCWBedford. I gift the animals when needed.

[Living with Autism in Bedford @AutismNtAwkward]

@Shame_On_TEWV Yes sure. I don’t have the unicorn any more but more than happy to make one for you.

[Living with Autism in Bedford @AutismNtAwkward]

Meet Amelia Giraffe. She’s this month’s PicaPauChallenge on Instagram. There were 21 giraffes made. Visit NcWBedford on Instagram

Treatment for dissociative disorders is sorely lacking across the NHS all because there are no NICE guidelines due to a lack of research

Thanks for collecting the evidence @jaunty_aphorism

[Wren @jaunty_aphorism]

My poster is up at the 'Building Foundations Together' conference today at the University of Derby. FOI mapping of dissociative disorder care provision across NHS mh Trusts & ICBs. If you're there, feel free to drop by. If not, I'll be uploading it to ResearchGate shortly. 1/3

[Living with Autism in Bedford @AutismNtAwkward]

@jaunty_aphorism Congratulations this a great work. So important

Time to give feedback. How to improve things

[Rachel Charlton-Dailey @RachelCDailey_]

Well that explains the “1000 pip claims A DAY” headlines

The Timms PIP review consultation is up. I won’t be delving into it cos it’s my fucking birthday but quick scan shows it’s as awful as expected

You have until 28th May (which btw is only 10 weeks)

@NessaSpratticus @DandelionAppre1 Snap I took my first one of the year. Though no way as good a photo as yours.

@SGV_UK Which prayer app do you use. I envy how much your faith gives you comfort.

[Living with Autism in Bedford @AutismNtAwkward]

@SGV_UK I’ve used it to explain what I feel like even though as it is different from others norm.

[Living with Autism in Bedford @AutismNtAwkward]

@SGV_UK I don’t know if this would help you https://t.co/4aFCSvimHC
