Autism has arrived!

Photo of Orange cat looking at a lake in Autumn with orange leaves fallen all about it's finally autism
It reads "it's finally Autism"
Context: this is a conflate Autism and Autumn meme made by honest but it's being used to say it's April, the Autism acceptance month

Conference crochet completed before landing in the conference city. Good thing I brought an extra ball of alpaca with me, though I suspect it won't last long either!

A small poster board. A very big milestone. Today I put up the first posters from my PhD at a conference. There is something surreal about seeing your research displayed publicly for the first time.

Julia Robertson @ailujnostrebor.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

After more than a decade of advocating, volunteering, supporting others, contributing to research and now beginning to see the first fruits of my PhD, I'm reminded that my worth and the value of my work aren't determined by who chooses to recognise it.

Wore my happy neuron pants today for MRI #3. There was a chilling moment when I realised that I was in this exact facility in 2003 when they diagnosed my first brain tumour. I've got all the things crossed for a better outcome from today's imaging

I often wonder what it would look like if every chapter of my life showed on my face. The grief. The caregiving. The illness. The resilience. Maybe it would not make me less beautiful. Maybe it would make me more true.

I had a great hike today. Im reminded every day that I made the right decision to move here.

May is Brain Tumour Awareness Month. This photo was taken after I had lifesaving brain surgery in 2011. I share this image to remind people that brain tumour survival is possible, that research matters, and that behind every statistic is a real person.

Our celebration of Yidan and Xinyu, who have both passed their early candidature milestones. These moments matter. Early candidature can be incredibly challenging, taking time to acknowledge progress and celebrate each other is a key part of building a healthy academic culture.

Content note, suicidal ideation. I have lived with suicidal ideation since childhood. It is not a phase or a personality trait, it is a symptom I have learned to notice, name, and ride out. If you are carrying this too, you deserve support and you deserve to stay. Lifeline 13 11 14.

Neurosurgery has rejected my referral. This image was made in 2022. Following my recent trip to the USA, I am now living in a space where I feel like I will vomit from the pain. I have not managed to sleep a whole night in a long time My GP is livid and resubmitted the referral + paperwork

When I was preparing to fly to the USA, I had two friends in hospice. Today I received the news that one passed on December 20. The other I was with when he passed on December 27. While I mourn these losses, I appreciate that both had dignity and received pain management in their final days.
