| I hate this client. Every job she wants me to do is the same. There's never enough source material to work with and I'm left either having to spend ages researching everything or just pulling stuff out of my ass, writing absolute garbage because I don't know what I'm talking about. And then I get s*... |

| My son was diagnosed when he was around 5. I never kept the diagnosis from him. He was involved in different interventions, so it was something he would know about no matter what. He’s less autistic than I am and struggles more with ADHD. I’ve always presented both things in a positive way. Yeah, t... |

| I got my daughter assessed when she was 16 and it was the best thing that could have happened She's defied all expectations of her and I don't think that would have happened if she hadn't have got her diagnosis She doesn't hide it from anyone, she doesn't mask. I think she's really proud of who she... |

| No one single thing. And I'm not sure the collective of all the little things adds up to a destroyed life. It's not ideal, but whose is? Some of it is pretty good. Only the things that happened to me as a child I think can really be counted. I'll take responsibility for everything that's got messed ... |

| Almost anything in the MCU. Also yes. The thing about the Marvel movies that I don't get it is, every time they put out a movie, the hype machine gets going, everyone is supposed to be really pumped and that "This time, they really got it right." and then the movie comes out and it's crap... |

| Edit: this is an extremely nuanced subject that I struggle to talk about. On one hand, I understand that Muslims face a lot of hate; but on the other, as an ex-Muslim I'm very familiar with all the bad arguments. In my opinion, the problem with religions in general is that their adherents are unwil... |

| I go through periods of eating very healthily and then periods of eating very poorly. I don't have a very good relationship with food, I binge eat and eat to soothe emotions. A number of years ago I was probably at my healthiest and fittest I've ever been after a health scare that made me think I sh... |

| One of the hard lessons I've had to accept about living with Autism is that the vast majority of people just don't care to be bothered with us. We don't push the right buttons so they distance themselves. I think there's a good bit of truth in this. But I've always found it hard to blame people for... |

| It's very hard to assess. I was a relatively early adopter, the first among people I knew to have a modem at home that I could use to access the web. Most people my age first properly used the internet at college/university but I'd been using it for some years already. I found it liberating back the... |
