I want everyone that reads this to go look up "Serotonin Syndrome" and familiarize yourself with its symptoms. Just do it.

You give me too much credit, but thank you! I bet you're much better on the parenting front than I am.

Yes, we're all audhd and multiply ND. They're both amazing kids, but the teen years are definitely tough on everyone. We all take LOTS of naps.

So true. I've got a 14 and a 17 yr old still at home.

I. Am. Tired. 😴😜

In case you're wondering how stressful the holidays can be for some Autistic people: I lost 10 lbs from the end of November to now. Some of us get that messed up from the stress and change in routine.

I'll have to do some digging and send some your way. I rarely take pictures these days, but I should have some older ones.

That sounds great! Whatever you want to do is fine with me.

Who knows what I've done now to piss everyone off. Story of my life. lol

Same to you! I'm finding my friends over here slowly but surely. I'm glad I found you, one of my oldest and dearest! 🤗

It definitely is. It seems to get worse every day.

This sucks because I really wanted to stay in the loop, and community groups are really the only way to stay updated over there anymore (without having to dig through tons of crap I don't want to see first).

Apparently, I've pissed off the wrong person.

I've been shut out of both #DisabilityTwitter and #ActuallyAutistic community groups on Twitter(X).

I tried to join them over a month ago with no response, and now they're not even showing up in pending requests or a search.

What have I done now? 😬

Every morning, my dog lets my cat eat out of his food bowl before he does. He waits patiently while the cat takes a few bites of HIS food before he chows down.

We don't deserve dogs.

a man in a suit and tie with the word problem solved on his face Alt: Trevor Noah from the Daily Show points to his head, then the audience, and says, "Problem Solved."

The cat gets a treat every morning when I take my pills.

I will never forget to take them again. He won't let me.

C'mon kitty, time for our pills. 🚶🏻‍♀️🐈

It's getting scarier and even more desolate over on Twitter.

It's sad to watch what was once a vibrant community become a ghost town of bots and Nazis.

Thanks. I'm just happy to have known her.

You might have. You can find her @ Tinu and some of her tribute posts # ForTinu. We were moots. She was awesome.

Plus Tinu. It probably sounds silly, but I hate just leaving her (account) over there now that she's gone. It's sad.

Ah! See, that's why I'm having a hard time completely leaving Twitter. I'm gonna lose track of some folks, I think.

Same to you! I'm slowly finding as many of my Twitter friends as I can.

fellow autistics, audhd, adhd, and the entire neurodivergent community, don't let the RSD keep you from looking for mutuals... take a punt at it, hit that follow button, who knows, you might meet a good friend!

Hey, y'all! I'll be back and forth between here and Twitter for now as I shuffle things around.

If you followed me over here: you rock!

If you just found me: welcome!!!

I love you all! 💜
