I'm so glad that I married such an empathetic person or I'd be so lost when it comes to my own emotions. Thanks to their help I've been able to put words to more and more of my emotions that just confused me in the past.

No, essential oils can't cure autism no matter how much the Hunbots say it does. Don't let the MLMs fool you.

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'll never understand why people believe that all autistic people are exactly the same, or fit within every autistic stereotype. "You can't be autistic because you're not exactly like Sheldon Cooper."

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 💖

This was originally a sprite for RatteJak's ref, but I stopped half way through. I usually post this stuff on Patreon, but I quite like this image, and want to share it publicly.

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!
