I was recognised as autistic a few years ago. I have told very few people as I dread their reaction.

We went to an event this afternoon. Lots of people and noise. Not ideal for all of our chronically ill/nd family. I limited interaction which wasn't actually to difficult. Yet here I am sitting in my garden feeling lonely. #autistic

We went on a canal boat holiday a couple of years ago and saw so many kingfishers. A big highlight of the trip.

Where/how do you wear them? I am quite new to them in adulthood and put them on my work lanyard. In the 90s (as a teen) I wore them on the lapel of a velvet blazer!

Very restrained visit to Hay on Wye... I also bought cds but they are in the car. A book to share, a pin badge for me and one for a friend.
