Thinking about getting a custom hoodie with „You can’t hurt me, I finished a marathon“ on it 😂

6 days after the marathon my legs feel fine again, but I’m having pain in the left side of my neck since Wednesday 😕 Do other runners experience that too? #running

It feels strange to not train for the marathon anymore, after it’s been the focus for months. Now, everything still hurts, but I slowly start to focus on the Berlin half in April. Doesn’t have to be a PB though, not so soon after the marathon. Just want to have fun with my 10th half ☺️🏃‍♀️ #running

There it is: my first full marathon! 🥳🔥🏃‍♀️ I’m so happy, awesome experience, only one little mishap 😵‍💫 My watch was sitting too tight. I didn’t notice bc of my excitement. Around km 14, my hand swell and I couldn’t make a fist. Had to take care of that 🙈 Next stop: Ultra runs 😄💪🏻 #running #TeamLaufen

We've been saving this little pup for when we thought you all might really need a gold star. And, given the current circumstances, here she is. 13/10
a tiny white dog stands on a tile floor and looks up at you. they’re wearing a big plush yellow star around their teensy noggin, like the world’s most congratulatory lion mane. we really needed to see her today.

Marathon training week 18: tapering week 2. A short 5k run to stay in the flow. Otherwise I’m relaxing and of course eating my carbs to keep those glycogen stores filled 🥰 4 days left till marathon. And spring is here 😍 #running #TeamLaufen

Theoretically, I know I'm ready for the marathon. But my mind still tries to convince me that I didn't run far enough, that I'm not fit enough, that my nutrition isn't good enough, etc. It's me and my body against the voices, lol. #running

Marathon training week 17 (tapering): it was sooo strange to not do a 3-4 hours long run today like usual 🙈 But reduction and recovery are part of the plan. 15 kilometres today, one week left till marathon! #running #TeamLaufen 🏃‍♀️

People when you describe yourself as weird or awkward: but that’s what makes you YOU, be yourself, being quirky is fun, normal is boring ☺️🤗 People when you say you’re autistic: are you … sure? 🤔🧐

I have troubles recognising people if I don’t see them in the context I met them (for example work). And it’s been autism all along, who would have thought! 😂

Autistic Lexicon Prosopagnosia - an impairment with recognizing faces. By most estimates the co-occurrence of Autism & Prosopagnosia is very high and it can potentially explain many trends among Autistic people.
Son of man by René Magritte (painting of a person in a bowler hat with a green apple in front of theri face. The following Text is included: 

Prosopagnosia (Face blindness); Many Autistic ppl, to one degree or another, experience Prosopagnosia, an inability to recognize faces. Prosopagnosia is relatively rare in the general population and relatively common in the Autistic community; Face Blindness is one of the reasons that many Autistic ppl are drawn to Animation & Comics. The characters are often visually distinct with clear & consistent styles.

My cat when he jumps on the table meowing and I start to pet him: This is not what I came for (I came to tell you it's time for food). But it's nice. You may continue.

"Stop being so petulant," Mother says, turning up her nose and shaking her head. Petulant. I look it up in a dictionary. It's the wrong word. It doesn't describe what I felt when I pulled at my hair and squeezed my eyes shut. Behind the label of petulance, I'm stuck in my mind's pandemonium. #vss365

This cold is breaking all my routines. Work, running, even writing because I have a headache. I’m struggling to allow myself to rest and to remember that this won’t erase my progress. I will run this marathon.

Yesterday I had the worst meltdown in a long time. And this is autism too: not being able to control the onslaught of emotions, so you grab what you can reach and throw it, or you punch something, or you end up hurting yourself. Now I know what this is and why it happens. But as a child, I didn’t. +

Marathon training week 16: had to take a break due to a cold and went for a slow run today, to test the waters. The Sunday was very long without the usual long run 😅 #running #TeamLaufen

Was Geek Girl renewed? It wouldn't surprise me if not, because Netflix tends to kill good shows too early. Geek Girl was cute and I enjoyed an autistic character being played by an autistic actress. youtu.be/o0J0LcT4y2o

As an autistic person, I experience shutdowns and meltdowns. Sadly, everyone in my life (except my therapist and my husband) was always quick to demand "Stop this behaviour", but never had the idea to ask: "How do you feel during this? What do you think could help?" You can ask. We do have answers.

I know the tism is in my bloodline. My grandfather was the weird and isolated one, he never liked to leave the house. My mother threw a fit when something changed about her plans. I tried to lecture people about wolves in Primary School. It's like a string. Yet no one but me wants to see it. #vss365

The lady at my bakery - she knows me, I'm always ordering the same so by now she just asks "the same as usual?" - asked me if it's okay that she gave me the edge of the cake too and I was baffled. What do you mean they cut the cake so that an edge remains and they throw that away?! What the fuck?

I wanted to get so much writing done, but I can barely keep my eyes open or breathe through my stuffy nose. Maybe I should be writing about being sick today, writing in 4D.

Autism is a spectrum. As the saying goes if you’ve met one autistic person you have met one autistic person. Many are disabled. Not just by society. Some are disabled by society. Some don’t regard themselves disabled. Remember it’s a spectrum. We are all different.

Autism is a difference in neurology, a different neuro-type Autism is not a disorder Therefore, being autistic is not something that needs to be 'fixed' in someone Vaccines do not cause someone to be autistic (having autistic parents usually does)
