Kale And Chocolate

likes chocolate, not kale.
A bit like playdough, but dressed up to look like an adult.

@XianJaneway Honestly, this is so frustrating. Happens to me so frequently.

@KathrynCanonsOn When the birds used to nab the tops of our bottles we found a milk box helped. My dad made us a cool wooden one.

Right up until neighbours started stealing them - but there wasn't a solution to that.

@racheljwelcher Sprained wrist picking up a tin of dog food.

@CCullingworth @KBSquared4 We did!

[Kale And Chocolate @kalechocolit]

@XianJaneway I never saw that coming.

...
I'll show myself out.

@AdultingADHD It was a lifesaver for my daughter and it significantly reduces my recovery time from overwhelm. It's like "oh I exist in this space" instantly grounding.

[Kale And Chocolate @kalechocolit]

@PookyH That doesn't make you a failure. That doesn't even make you completely unrecovered or unrecoverable.
It does mean that you need to take care of yourself and your sensory needs if you can.

I hope you find some glimmers today and can see the strong person you are.

[Kale And Chocolate @kalechocolit]

@PookyH I think that the autistic brain does tend to be "I'm in recovery" or "I've failed", but the reality is that this time of year is harder for so many reasons, not all of them related to food. So "being in recovery" uses more resources, and you just ... Didn't have enough yesterday

Tips or resources for an autistic person going into an interview?
Yes, I have told them I'm autistic, explained about my tone being weird and asked for questions to be written down to help my processing.
They added a "here's ten minutes to help you get familiar with the room"

@TheWomanfredi Doodle feels this one would be representative of her priorities. (She was nabbing the dog treats while we were unpacking groceries.)

[Kale And Chocolate @kalechocolit]

@jojoandspoons That's worse than smugly going to the washing machine to fetch your clean clothes only to realise you never turned it on.

[Kale And Chocolate @kalechocolit]

@XianJaneway "bumped into fan" ... I imagined a gigantic cheerleader groupie type person. Oops. (But maybe that image will make you laugh. As long as that doesn't make shoulders more sore)

[Kale And Chocolate @kalechocolit]

@leonardpayne @DisabilityJ @lydimoo Dude, your internalised ableism is showing. Might want to go away and ask God about that.

[Kale And Chocolate @kalechocolit]

@TheWomanfredi As someone who has been kicked in teeth in the name of protecting the badge, thank you for an excellent piece of writing.

I hope you continue to raise your cry.

@megonewell I put my rest tweet on this account initially.

[Kale And Chocolate @kalechocolit]

Observation: one shouldn't do the regular weekly post for another account if one is asleep.

[Kale And Chocolate @kalechocolit]

@create_ivish @CCullingworth this is a noteworthy starter question I think.

[Kale And Chocolate @kalechocolit]

Have you ever tried to explain something about yourself only to end up frustrated?
I wrote a little about that from an autistic perspective.
