Nattily

I'm a 20-something grad school drop-out blogging about my experiences with bipolar disorder, EDNOS, and adult-diagnosed autism.

Autism + holiday nightmare trip + flight home canceled - all flights for next 2 days = ultimate meltdown. @SouthwestAir please help!

A thing I wrote on a plane a while ago https://t.co/Vxaj1PzMSb

[Nattily @notesoncrazy]

@Autistikids Yes of course!

One second I'm declaring I don't have #DID . Next second an alter names herself and the others. I think I am trying to tell me something.

@Ask_anAspergirl @untitleduser Agreed. It might be because Dan Harmon is an Aspie? He has an incentive to not represent us as falsely flat.

Proud and grateful to see people gathering for #DDoM2015 here at UChicago. Wish I had the spoons today to join in.

[Nattily @notesoncrazy]

@BTBKTR It can be very scary! I do find it helpful sometimes, but even then it is still a sort of dissociation, just with certain control.

[Nattily @notesoncrazy]

@Ask_anAspergirl That isn't supposed to sound whiney...just wishful. Anyway, I just posted something. Yay narrative form!

[Nattily @notesoncrazy]

@Ask_anAspergirl Yeah, I feel the same way. I always learn from the posts I disagree with, I just feel like I don't receive that respect.

@BTBKTR Haha, fair enough! I just get so guilt-ridden when I dissent from the mass opinion. But then, that's the interesting stuff to write!

Thanks @HuffPostBlog for sharing Proud2BMe's story and elevating the voices of ED survivors. http://t.co/87bEbMdClo #NEDAwareness

How do I get back into blogging without feeling like a pariah in the autistic community? My blog meant (*means*) so much to me.

[Nattily @notesoncrazy]

@Ask_anAspergirl @stellautistic @BTBKTR It was a really liberating revelation to have. "Oh yeah!" and then the guilt could start to fade.

[Nattily @notesoncrazy]

@Ask_anAspergirl @stellautistic @BTBKTR It takes an autistic to "want" an autism dx. That label is descriptive, not prescriptive.

[Nattily @notesoncrazy]

@Ask_anAspergirl @stellautistic @BTBKTR The worst catch-22. Can't be autistic because you think you are; can't NOT be for the same reason.

[Nattily @notesoncrazy]

@PencilsAndSuch Those are the people to hold close. But assumptions and first impressions matter. Bosses, coworkers, doctors, in-laws...

[Nattily @notesoncrazy]

I "irrationally" feared people would not respect or appreciate me if I recovered from anorexia. My fear was accurate. I feel betrayed.
