It’s 11:30pm can we stop setting off fireworks now?

Sincerely,
A very overstimulated Autistic gal

You can say you’re autistic 300 times but they’ll still be shocked by your autistic traits

I know she won’t be disappointed with me. I had a lot of mixed and complicated emotions around choosing to not fly home. I felt I let myself down but I didn’t.

My fear of flying is tangled in childhood trauma so it’s not as easy as just battling a fear.

Update from plane tweet:

✈️ it was very hard but I did it
✈️ I did take my selfie for my therapist but I’m nervous to tell her I didn’t make the second flight
✈️ I’m glad I’ve learnt to prioritise myself and took the train home and was able to enjoy my holiday

Do I have any UK based education safeguarding experts / leads in my contacts who might be willing to provide comment for my book about Rishi Sunak’s proposed plans on stopping social transition which is being framed as a safeguarding issue.

LGBTQ+ inclusive, of course.

Why have I only just noticed it says facing my face 🙃

Anyway happy dyslexia awareness week!

[Ruby Woods @Rubyswoods]

(I’m facing my face of flying on Sat)

Things I’m excited for on my flight:
✈️ Taking a selfie for my therapist
✈️Opening the treat me and my sister got for ourselves
✈️ Being on my way to Disney!
✈️Seeing the views from the sky
✈️ Feeling okay and knowing I can do it again

Poll time: disabled people which phrasing do you prefer?

1: Do you consider yourself disabled?

2: Are you disabled by your environment?

3: Are you disabled?

[Ruby Woods @Rubyswoods]

Me: I’m Autistic

Them: cool thanks for letting us know

Me: *shows Autistic traits*

Them: WHAT THE F***

[Ruby Woods @Rubyswoods]

Anyway I forgot twitter exists hi

[Ruby Woods @Rubyswoods]

Seeing some content saying all Autistic people think the same/experience the same thing.

Autism is and will forever be a spectrum. There is not one autistic experience.

Remember to listen to a range of perspectives 💗

[Ruby Woods @Rubyswoods]

@smccourtactor Ah brill that’s good to know! I’m getting a few others perspectives too!

[Ruby Woods @Rubyswoods]

I’m writing an article about what it’s like in a touring theatre production as an Autistic person and was like…..

Is this too niche? 🤣

[Ruby Woods @Rubyswoods]

What’s the one fact you get annoyed that is true. The one adults always say and you hate that is right -

Mine is that having a clean room improves my mental health.

I clean my room and I’m genuinely annoyed how much better I feel because everyone is so right 🤣🤣

[Ruby Woods @Rubyswoods]

Got a crochet kit and started with absolute confidence that I could pick up a new skill

Turns out you need to understand crochet in order to…crochet

[Ruby Woods @Rubyswoods]

@the_same_sky Okay I’ll do it 💗
