Interesting the growing awareness between neurodiversity and addiction....more research is needed but in theory if people got diagnosed earlier they could avoid a lot of pain in trying to manage their lives @cjflood_author

[Claire Gleeson @cmgleeson]

This excellent podcast is always worth a listen, but this is a particularly good episode - Claire Alexander’s discussion of her career serves as an overview of the publishing industry over the last 50 years, with some brilliant office anecdotes…

"I joke that my mum is a diva, but it’s more accurate to call her a rebel. She pushes against the expectations of what a woman, a mother or a wife should be, what they should accept. Often at great personal cost." I wrote about my mum because she's a leg.

This is heartbreaking. I'm so sorry autistic kids are still being treated this way.

[Lynda Cooper @suddenlycolour]

Obviously I think every book I work on should be a Sunday Times bestseller, but it is genuinely fantastic when one of them actually is! MASSIVE congratulations to the phenomenal @_MissingTheMark on this achievement. It's such an important topic too. You're changing lives, Eliza!

Chelsey shares a personal story about how alcohol can be an effective but problematic masking tool for autistic women.

There’s an edited extract of This Ragged Grace in @gdnlongread today, so this morning I’m thinking of my dear pa & all we went through together. Solidarity with anyone living with or loving someone with dementia 💚💚💚

@HolSmale Congrats Holly! Can't wait to read this 💜💜💜

[Chelsey (CJ) Flood @cjflood_author]

@LateDiscovered @MasterChefCDA I'm excited to listen to this one! Do you think there is a big connection with problematic drinking and undiagnosed autism? I ended up getting sober too, and I realised that booze had been helping me to cope with sensory difference and feeling misunderstood/like an alien...

[Tim Clare @TimClarePoet]

My book about anxiety, COWARD, is out in paperback next week. But I could use some help. What questions about anxiety & panic would you most like answered? I want to make some short videos & I'd love to know what folks care about. I'll pick 1 RT of this post to win a copy. Deal?
