There is so much information and it was fascinating hearing during the meeting and on the love lounge, how many options we have.

I want us as a group to choose a name that no-one will be offended with.
Not everyone is comfortable with its current name as it involves swearing.

Does anyone have any better name ideas?

I really think having a joke ceremony to award a Victor every 3 months would be funny and validating.

I like the idea of a checklist.
I often get depressed not seeing friends and the only places I get to go to are waiting rooms and hospitals.

We must put up boundaries to protect ourselves here, easier said than done. When we recognise a friend is coming to us upset but isn’t there for us, then they are unhealthy and are not a true friend. True friends make time for eachother. Givers must set limits and takers don’t have limits. Its…[Read more]

I think it’s a great idea to group up. 3 autistic brains working together will be impressive!!! The amount we get underestimated by neurotypical people is annoying. I bet we will do very well using our strengths to our advantage here while helping eachother aswell.

Disability Allowance was set up purely on what you have wrong with you, PIP is all about what you can or cannot do.

Although I don’t fully understand how this works.
I’m autistic and find reading and writing a bit difficult due to dyslexia and lack of confidence.
I’m quite mad in a good way. Normal is boring and overrated.
I’m on chapter 4.
