@Schwarzenegger been getting the newsletter since January I'm trying to find a way that works for me to stay fit, but the one thing from a newsletter way back that's stuck is to EAT WHAT YOU FANCY BUT ADD VEGETABLES. Genuine game changer. Thanks

@stickmancrips Draft 2. The biggest discomfort is knowing if/when to help someone - the confirmation that they'll let you know takes alot of the awkwardness away 😊

[Liz Maxim @cloudfire26]

@LordOfTheLost Me either 😁. Thought about doing a mad thing and heading to Edinburgh.... But there are things at home to attend to....so I shall have to wait till September 😬😬😍

@AutisticCoach_ Fundamentally happy person who is usually exhausted and sad

As an autistic person, I may cry and my voice might shake when I ask why something is happening. That does not mean I am ‘unstable’ or ‘toxic’ It means that I am genuinely confused. Honestly and genuinely confused. I am not playing games. I am not manipulating a situation.

Just listened to @apocalypticafi Farewell back to back with @LordOfTheLost Lighthouse... Now.... there are two songs with a common musical core 😳😥😍

This year our housing association has let the common land go unmowed. The bare earth is molehills, the diversity of flowers is natural airborne overspill from our garden. It's so much better than scorched grass 😁😁

@stickmancrips @draevans I wear a life ID silicone wristband - not just because I do sporting activities alone but also in case I become overwhelmed when out. It has a QR code that links to all my basic info and what I might need. Thankfully not needed yet.

@sabaton Who needs a phoenix when you can have a carrier pigeon 😁

[Liz Maxim @cloudfire26]

@m_chiles I am so sorry. But I have been there. You reach out for help and get put on a 3 month waiting list (minimum)..... And you get to the stage where you feel your absence is better than your presence and you can't reach out. My body outlasted my mind in the end. Surprisingly.

@AutisticCallum_ Interoceptive hypersensitivity. Sadly the least understood of all traits...

@HurricaneR4118 Target acquired 😂

Apart from the hay fever, the constant sweat, the sunburn, the lack of sleep, the wasps, the bug bites, the baking hot car, the 3am sunrise, the non-stop disco from next door’s garden, the yellow lawn, the heat rash, the absence of air con and the complete lack of energy… I’m actually a big fan of Summer.

Asking for adjustments in a current job is like a police caution... "You do not have to say anything. But, it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be given in evidence.” #ActuallyAutistic

[Liz Maxim @cloudfire26]

@HumanbeingAwk I can do this but I wouldn't call it imagination. It's memory. If you're hypersensitive, experiences will be so intense you can recreate them without physical stimulus.

[Liz Maxim @cloudfire26]

@TheBlowfish Agreed. It's not hard to keep them in overnight. Our two are officially house cats but go out on leads... It's called thinking about consequences 🙄😊

[Liz Maxim @cloudfire26]

@Matedwards7 Yep 😊

[Liz Maxim @cloudfire26]

@Matedwards7 I think I know that place. It's less than a mile from me... And a lovely stretch of mixed woodland - boggy at the top of the hill only 😂
