Never, and I mean NEVER tell someone "we need to talk" without giving proper context. "We need to talk" means something's gone wrong. Seriously, having someone say "we need to talk" to me fills me with so much dread and anxiety. Please don't do it!

I can't fit all my experiences being autistic in a tweet, but I wrote them in the Instagram upload.

I'm being more open about this stuff mostly because I feel safer to do so. There's a lot of support for me on Instagram 💖

Back when life was, you know, normal, I liked to get all my housework done by 10AM and then get to work. However if I got it done by 10:05AM that was it. The day was wasted. Might as well just go to bed because it was pretty much bedtime anyways!
