This is such a great interview about how low depression can go and PJ's time in a psychiatric hospital. So helpful for this experience to be shared, especially from someone so well known in Ireland.
Trigger warning: discusses suicidality and depression.

I neeeed this book. Looks so beautiful.

This thread made me laugh out loud.

Listening to Michael now Autism Online Conference Cork 2022 ❤️ and his idiom illustrations are hilarious. Can really relate to many of these idiom confusions!

This book by Michael Barton about the ambiguous language of idioms, metaphors and expressions just came through the post and I am howling with laughter. My son is going to love it! michaelbarton.org.uk/its-raining-ca…

If anyone’s thinking about doing #NaNoWriMo this year, I say go for it. Start planning now. Use it as an excuse to write from your heart. Finally tackle that mad, silly story you think is too geeky to go anywhere. Last year’s project turned out rather well for me.

Delighted this graphic novel with an autistic main character written by #ActuallyAutistic writer and illustrator Aoife Dooley has been shortlisted. We love love love this book in our house!!

Woke up with the first few pages of a new book visually written in my head. Now I can't stop thinking about it .... But i have to, as I'm doing my final edits on book 1, and am 1/5 through 1st draft of book 2, so there's really no space for a book 3. Argh brain!!!

Oooh i must also share

I am definitely the first person.

Because we all need a good laugh ... My brother ..... (Who is actually highly intellegent I swear).....

It is a myth that Autistic people do not seek connection. We absolutely seek fulfilling relationships, but as individuals who think, process, sense and play differently, it is little surprise that our experience of seeking connection can look different too. #differentnotless

Rescued this fern when it was size of my baby finger and being crushed by brambles. Transplanted it to better spot and now look at it. Just needed a better environment to thrive; just like many #ActuallyAutistic people do.

Nature teaches us how to do it.

My 4 yo daughter just drew me this 'you and me mum'. A morning moment of joy.
