If I was in the Famous Five, I'd be George.

If somebody refers to "this lady" and gestures towards me, I look behind me to see if Emily from Little Britain is there.

When Shania Twain sings "Let's go girls," I don't go.

I have been struggling for a while to find the right words to succinctly explain what I mean when I describe myself as a gender non-conforming woman.

Which do you think says it best?

I just received an email that started like this:

'Dear Charlie,

I hope you are having a productive week.'

Nope. I am a human being (with AuDHD) and I do not have to be consistently productive, so jog on mate.

One by one, Europeans mentioned in the Epstein files who still hold political office are beginning to resign or are being forced out of office.

Meanwhile, ruled by an administration almost entirely made up of Epstein associates, the US carries on as if nothing really happened.

Every time I see a post about "self care" I wonder whether they are talking about masturbation.

And adding "you can't pour from an empty cup" only makes it worse.

Send help.

The new Barbie comes with a range of accessories to reflect her status as an autistic woman, such as:
- noise-cancelling headphones
- a fidget spinner
- intense social media scrutiny about how she's Being Autistic Wrong

I am not sure by what measure you are defining me as functional or normalπŸ˜‚

ADHD has not been redefined for years. And ADHD medication would not be therapeutic to 'everyone' as not everyone experiences ADHD challenges to disabling extent.

I do think the diagnostic threshold for autism is arbitrary.

Barbie-style image of a woman with long dark blonde hair wearing, a white t-shirt, blue flared jeans, purple Converse, a black and silver beaded bracelet, and black headphones. She is playing a purple Revelation Bass VI and standing in front of pedal board and microphone on a stand, and gazing off into the distance, half-smiling. She wears purple badges - one says Autistic and the other has a gold infinity symbol.

Introducing Ausome Barbie. I doubt she will have mass appeal - she will probably be popular with some people and annoying to many others, which is fine (she is here to inform, entertain, and have fun - not to win any popularity contests).

Why 50, for this late-identified neurodivergent AuDHDer will be much ausomer than 40!

I just bought a new webcam, so here is a short video outlining how the UK government could fix the ADHD diagnosis crisis and create new jobs for ADHDers, all at the same time!
Sorry about all the cuts, I was thinking aloud with far too much hesitation!

Women in support of the trans+ community - Not in our name

We want the media and politicians to recognise that there is a large number of women who are supportive of the trans+ community. We call on them to report truthfully about the sources of violence against women and to address the systems that perpetuate harm. notinourname.org.uk/petition/not...

Was there ever a time when Wes Streeting was right, about anything? I don't think so. He's up there with RFK for his levels of ignorance.

Hi!

I'm looking for some more participants to take part in interviews for my PhD research. The interviews I've done so far have been amazing!! Very insightful and thought-provoking.

Please share with anyone who might be interested.

The full poster is in the comments.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is a misnomer, as we can have an abundance of attention for the things we are very interested in.

What do you think ADHD should actually stand for?

I reckon this:

Attention
Discerning
Hyperactive
