Karla @karlabakes.bsky.social · 53mExactly this. Tell them you can't approve it and they should just use the perfectly functional actual picture that you provided. 030
Karla @karlabakes.bsky.social · 3hLet me tell you about my clinical psychologist cousin who specialises in long-term conditions some time. 110

Karla @karlabakes.bsky.social · 12/10/2026If you're a reader, you might well find something interesting at the Off The Shelf festival: offtheshelf.org.ukofftheshelf.org.ukOff the Shelf Festival of Words is one of the North's most vibrant literary festivals. Every October we bring the biggest names in local, regional, and international literary talent, media and the arts to Sheffield. 000

Karla @karlabakes.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Feels like the time my friend kindly tried to ask how my remaining parent was, but got the wrong one. 'How's your mum doing?' 'Well...she's no less dead' 010
Karla @karlabakes.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Oh, come on, autocorrect. You know full well I said 'tripling' because I corrected it back twice. 000
Karla @karlabakes.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Even more so if they fail to do so by trippingtheir vote share. FAILURE AND SHAME. 120
Karla @karlabakes.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Is there an option for 'none of these; they're all rubbish anyway let alone compared to the existing one'? 020
Reposted by KarlaMark Grimshaw @markgrimshawtism.bsky.social · 09/10/2026A fascinating editorial decision from the BBC, to make the headline a scaremongering “AUTISM AND ADHD ARE BEING OVERDIAGNOSED”, and then, four bullet points later, have the author of the report quoted as essentially saying “nah, that’s bullshit, actually”. 301153475
Karla @karlabakes.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Will the membership badge say 'Malingerer' on it? We can show it proudly to everyone we pass when we're larking around on our skiving leave. 010
Karla @karlabakes.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I spent pretty much all of The Sheep Detectives just feeling sad for Winter Lamb (I can't be the only autistic to have done this), so, this: 000
Karla @karlabakes.bsky.social · 09/10/2026It's either ideological, or you & I just got in too late after the Diagnosis Quota had been reached and therefore we must be making it up. 120

Karla @karlabakes.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I'm guessing person being wrong. Where would the rogue 's' in 'nose' have come from if dictation software? Also I'd guess that because, well, people. 030
Karla @karlabakes.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Oh, that's just mean of him! Rohde Zoom update: the village had its first Scarecrow Week this week. Father was surprised to learn that this involved 'scarecrows everywhere'. 110

Karla @karlabakes.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Weekly family call, in which our dad will again display his inability to use the phrase 'how about you?' to keep the conversation going after we've asked him something. 040
Karla @karlabakes.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I saw Def Leppard and was like 'tough job, choosing just one from Sheffield'. 011
Karla @karlabakes.bsky.social · 01/10/2026A student just described an ADHD brain as being an 'all-terrain train' (rather than running on tracks somewhere specific) and I love it so much I'm yoinking it. 010
Karla @karlabakes.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I read that as 'smashed prunes' and my 2026 brain was apparently fine with that. 010
Karla @karlabakes.bsky.social · 29/09/2026's greht, innit. The PGTs only require 3x 20 minutes per year (unless needy) plus admin but now the meetings MUST BE centrally organised, which is orders of magnitude more efficient than when I sent out slots I could do and they booked the one they could do. Yes. Better. 110
Karla @karlabakes.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I have 23 PGTs and 10 apprentices. Apprentices need 5x 45-60 minute appointments each year, which must detail clearly which Competencies and Knowledges Skills and Behaviours they have met, and how they met them. Then needs writing up on their portfolio, and on our tutoring system. 110
Karla @karlabakes.bsky.social · 27/09/2026One of the delights of my (so far only) visit to Australia this year was the slow realisation that I wasn't seeing them everywhere. I'm not a coffee drinker but I very much appreciated the results of Australians knowing their coffee 👍 020
Karla @karlabakes.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Do you think people realise how many of us actively choose not to engage with them just because of this? Or do they, but just don't care? (in which case, I wish they wouldn't, but I won't feel guilty about choosing the alternative) 100
Karla @karlabakes.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I feel there's a mismatch between organising a climate-related event, and using AI to design the advert for it. 100
Karla @karlabakes.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Ah no, you've misunderstood. She says they're 'receiving Pip', not PIP. I too would imagine that having ADHD makes it difficult to constantly receive house calls from Dickensian gentlemen. 150

Nobody has asked them before! We're currently using some brilliant materials, developed with and by autistic people, to make interviews accessible to all children, not just those who speak 24919
