Do you remember when you joined Twitter? I do! #MyTwitterAnniversary To be fair it feels a lot longer than 3 years 😂

So it’s April and that time of the year again 😱 Step away from the puzzle pieces and don’t #lightitupblue Instead support #ActuallyAutistic led organisations and try bringing awareness to & confronting the prejudice and discrimination #Autistic people face. #AutismAcceptance

The best thing about #WorldAutismDay ? My new Godzilla films turned up to add to my collection 😁😁 #AskingAutistics show me your collections/passions that bring you #AutisticJoy ? #autistic #AutismAcceptance #AutismAcceptanceMonth #ActuallyAutistic

Found this #maybug lying on its back in my kitchen and rolling my long haired cat’s fur into a ball. I couldn’t separate it from the ball but moved it outside. #nature
