@Glim virtual hugs :ablobcatattentionreverse: remember to clarify the diagnosis with the doctor or consultant. I didn't, and only found out three months later that he'd already diagnosed me. He didn't specifically say he had and I thought there was some further test or assessment to come. My appointments are every three months, so that was a lot of extra anxiety! :blobcat_cwy:

Turns out he had diagnosed me, but I got no letter, report, nada! My autistic partner, got a 6 page report on his diagnosis, and a zoom call meeting if I recall correctly, which was very useful. I asked my consultant if I was due a letter or report, and he looked at me quizzically, and said "why do you need a report?" 🤦🏻‍♀️

“Watching Some Like it Hot as a lost, little, neuroqueer seemed to be telling me that the rules were there to be broken!”

My obsession with The Dude, is a complicated, a lotta ins, a lotta outs and a lotta what-have-yous!

I wrote about surviving the square world as an person, work and adulting woes, comfort viewing and Echolalia in The Big Lebowski!

Is Along Came Polly "reeking, radioactive rubbish" or the most underrated rom-com of all time? I certainly think so & I am prepared to die on this hill!

I also argue that it's an unintentional meta commentary on the struggles of living as an undiagosed AuDHDer in a neurotypical world! Read more here ⬇

Writing is hard and rejection is even harder, but it’s all part of the one package. So it might not seem like much but last week I reach 100 subscribers (and still growing)!

Thank you for joining me on this new adventure exploring neurodivergence through film and stay tuned for more adventures down the rabbit hole!

This week I got all teary and emotional writing about one of my favourite albums of all time, Stop Making Sense by Talking Heads, and celebrating the twitchy, angsty, weird and wonderful world of my David Byrne 💜💜💜

Going through Customs and Border Protection always feels like an impromptu autism screening from a hostile 3rd party where if you fail... maybe you don't get to go home.

I've been studying really hard for this one, I (re)watched the movie, listened to all the podcasts, went through every meme and now I'm ready to launch this week's instalment on Mean Girls, look at social missteps and queen bee sabotage in the cruel world of high school teens!

The Irish Times - Camhs case study: ‘Every appointment was rushed. Staff were stressed’

Camhs case study: ‘Every appointment was rushed. Staff were stressed’

“When they suspected autism, the same – a wait so long for an assessment that she would have turned 18 and would no longer be in Camhs.
We had no choice but to go private. Five months later we had an which we expected would open a suite of support and information at Camhs. The resources and staff weren’t there".

I took a break from writing last week because of a transatlantic move, but this week I nerded out on dinosaurs, colonialism and research ethics in a film which combines all my "special interests" in one: Jurassic Park

Netflix just released a new musical version of Matilda, but my heart still belongs to Danny DeVito's 1996, super campy, adaptation! Here I discuss the joy of reading and rebellion Matilda and what it means to find acceptance in your chosen family 💜

Just came across two videos on autism diagnosis and autistic masking respectively which, even if you already know a lot of the content, may provide some interesting and useful insights.
