@fodderfigure *stares at list* OMG I'm cured! :D </s>

@GymRobcom This is painful to read. Thank you for advocating for people who can't speak for themselves

@BooksandChokers my home town <3

[Carys @CarysMusicX]

@RMorgayne11 @Jayde8700 When I was three and diagnosed with eczema and asthma so bad I couldn't sleep, my mother quickly realised she had to change my diet. First thing to go was orange squash containing E102 and E104 - symptoms reduced within days. My autism diagnosis didn't come until I was 40...

[Carys @CarysMusicX]

@fodderfigure I think I'd be inclined to say "please will you" rather than "could you" and put the please first, because some people seem to take the "could you please" word order as emphasising the please and apparently that's sarcastic because... no I have no clue either on this :D

[Carys @CarysMusicX]

@AdrianRamsay A fantastic result! And I love that there's an "information for new MPs" booklet!

[Carys @CarysMusicX]

@PeterPrinsley Congratulations (from a green party member, but I'm delighted all the same) - I hoped but didn't expect this result. An historic victory!

[Carys @CarysMusicX]

@BooksandChokers "It's not a typo, it's dialect!" I'm remembering that one :D

@BooksandChokers Tell us your HoD has never read Elle's books without telling us they's never read Elle's books...

[Carys @CarysMusicX]

@fodderfigure Whaaat?! I've read and know from personal experience that some autistic folks don't realise they're allowed to say no to another person which can lead to relationship issues, but non-verbal clues signalling a relationship?! Okayy...

[Carys @CarysMusicX]

@fodderfigure I had to sit and play online games for an hour this morning because I hadn't got enough activities on my to-do list and I can't function until I have a non-attainable deadline. It's ridiculous. I'm 47. I still live in hope that one day I'll find a way past it :)

[Carys @CarysMusicX]

@AnnMemmott I just read through the whole page (because, autistic :-) ) and apparently that's one of 20 "filler" questions that don't relate to empathy - though at least two of the fillers seem to point to ADHD traits in my opinion

[Carys @CarysMusicX]

@AnnMemmott Also "I am good at predicting how someone will feel" and "I am good at predicting what someone will do". Were they just casting around wildly to find extra questions at this point?

[Carys @CarysMusicX]

@AnnMemmott I got through half the questions out of curiosity and then got annoyed. Cutting up worms as a child? What the flip is that supposed to show? Psychopathic tendencies? Because that sure as heck has nothing to do with empathy!

[Carys @CarysMusicX]

@IanFortey Goth squirrels! :D

[Carys @CarysMusicX]

@ChrisGPackham @BBCSpringwatch @MeganMcCubbin @michaelastracha @IoloWilliams2 The fly on squirrel poo was going to be the mindfulness moment too, wasn't it? Sigh...

@AnnMemmott My oldest friend got her autism diagnosis 4 years ago (3 years after me). One of our good friends was allergic to almost everything except chicken and potatoes. And "sitting quietly" only ever happened when we had silent reading in English lessons...

[Carys @CarysMusicX]

@IanFortey I have an online friend who has always "unschooled" her child BUT as far as I understand she and other relatives always read TO the child, got them interested in asking questions so they were 'guided' to 'want' to read. But this? Good grief...
