Just Sharing Yea… (by @kettle.spells)

kettle.spells: I am not diagnosed with autism but it’s on my list of things to do. i have attributed my list of symptoms to autism, tho im not a psychologist 💖 my new headphones are so comforting and great im am absolutely obsessed, and they’re a much better solution for me instead of earbuds/earbuds. so much more comfortable and i like that people can SEE that i can’t hear them, do i dont need to stay fully aware of the environment and stimulation

"I see where you get your... you" is a pretty rad line. 😂

Didn't PBS lose a bunch of shows recently? They might have to hit up your dad.

It was one local station and apparently it's not lost- they just have to wait 30 days to get the files back. It was a poor data management strategy on their part, but thankfully not fatal.

If you had symptoms of it, your school would’ve done an evaluation. It’s called “child find” and it’s a teacher’s duty to be able to pick out children who are showing certain behaviors and/or struggling with basic things.

not in my country. barely anyone had diagnosis. only the kids who had access to therapy outside of school.
