I'm interested to see if this is a thing.

I'm AuDHD and experience such intense empathy that if I see someone else injure themselves, I feel it to.

Like, I only have to think about someone else hurting themselves and it's like I can feel it.

Does this happen to any of you?

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 ⬇

"As Truman begins to drop the mask and express his authentic self, the world around him resists, often violently. This is an all too real depiction of the kind of social rejection, from family, friends and colleagues autistic people often experience when we attempt to unmask."

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!

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!
