Like a grumpy boomerang I’m back! Welcome to #NotAloneTalk a chat to help us all feel less isolated and alone in these weird and uncertain times. Reminder chat is running from 8:00 to 8:30 (UK time) tonight. Make sure to use the # or your messages may not be seen. So, how is everyone?

If we don’t pay attention to someone’s *internal*
experience of the world, we miss a vital part of who they are

I was lucky enough to have an autism assessment that cared about those aspects

But many people go undiagnosed when that doesn’t happen

And many more go through life feeling unseen 💔

So much of autism can be things that are unseeable…

There’s outward behaviours, but also:

- how do you make sense of the world?
- how do you process sensory input?
- what was your childhood like?
- how do you experience friendship?
- what methods/ routines do you have for navigating the world?

Thank you for coming to #OCDTalkHour tonight! Feel free to keep the discussions going between talk hours.

If you want to host #OCDTalkHour (say as a one-off or once a month to start) let me know!

And if you want more nice people and community check out #NotAloneTalk, every day at 8pm UK time 😀
