I'm not usually one to get all excitable about new year's eve, though I do enjoy being able to make the silly "won't see ya again this year!" jokes. 😉 I only get to do them once a year, after all! 😜 2018 has been a transitional year for me and whilst overall it's been better than 2016 and 2017, it still had its fair share of stress and exhaustion. I'm not one to make resolutions... If anything, I made a resolution a few years ago to stop making resolutions and so far I'm doing well with it. 😂 2018 has brought a career change, new friendships made, old friendships fading away, improved relationships, new tattoos, concerts and comedy gigs, lots of fun memories made in a variety of places with several different friends... Oh, and a book publication. 😉 #SpectrumWomenWalking As we start a new calendar year, I hope that the next twelve months brings you lots of joy, laughter and peace, minimal distress or heartache, and generally lots of happiness. I wish this for everyone who has touched my life in one way or another, and for my friends and family. I love you all, and I'll see ya in 2019, ready to take on whatever comes my way. 💖🌸 #ActuallyAutistic #AutisticWoman #AutisticWomen #Autistic #AutismAcceptance #IAmMyOwnExperience #WomenSupportingWomen #Neurodiversity #Neurodiverse #Aspergirls #SpectrumWomen #SpectrumSisters #WritingMyStory

I cannot express strongly enough how much I love & appreciate the NHS, and particularly the compassion of a lovely local pharmacist. I ran out of my Duloxetine prescription on Friday - I had ordered a repeat via Pharmacy2U Thursday evening and it had been 90% processed by the end of the working day Friday, but was not dispatched. If it had been, I would have received my prescription yesterday (Saturday) in the post. Unfortunately, due to the variable business hours during the holiday period, even if it was posted tomorrow (Monday), it would be delivered at earliest by Wednesday... That would have meant 5 days withdrawal from a SNRI that one should not go "cold turkey" off. Needless to say, this information made me panic. Thankfully, we have a pharmacy local to us that is open every day - even late on Sundays - and my husband was home to phone on my behalf to find out what we needed to bring in order to get an emergency prescription. After a frantic dash around the house, we had a short walk to the pharmacy (husband felt I needed the fresh air) and met with the pharmacist. She was so calm and kind, and explained the way forward. After filling in a form, she provided me with an emergency dispensation of Duloxetine for me. Because I have a valid prepayment certificate, I didn't have to pay for the prescription on the spot - all I paid for was a twice-daily pill sorter to help me better track when all my prescriptions run low, and that only cost £4.84. I'm not gonna turn this into a whole "Don't privatise the NHS" spiel, but having a nationalised healthcare system like this helps people with far more complex needs than my own. I will forever be grateful for the incredibly dedicated individuals who keep the NHS running every day. #ActuallyAutistic #AutisticWoman #Autistic #NHS #BlessTheNHS #ExecutiveFunctioning #TheStruggleIsReal #IAmMyOwnExperience #Neurodiversity #Neurodiverse #AnxietyAndAutism #AnxietyMeds #AntiAnxietyMeds #MentalHealth #MentalHealthMatters #ItsOkayNotToBeOkay

2018: it's been a long, strange trip. I don't know what to say other than thank you for sticking with me and I hope you all have a restful holiday season - however you choose to spend it. I'll see you on the other side in 2019. . . . #ActuallyAutistic #AutisticWoman #AutisticWomen #Autistic #AutisticMemes #IAmMyOwnExperience #Neurodiversity #Neurodiverse #HolidayGreetings #Goodbye2018 #BringOn2019

This is what a low-sensory day looks like for me at work. Non-polarised sunglasses (LED monitors mean that polarised lenses make them unreadable) and ANC headphones with @manics album Resistance Is Futile, acting as a sonic barrier to the general office noise. Last night really took it out of me, more than I anticipated... Self care comes first. . . . #ActuallyAutistic #AutisticWoman #AutisticWomen #Autistic #Autism #AutismAcceptance #IAmMyOwnExperience #Neurodiversity #Neurodiverse #Migraines #AutisticInANeurotypicalWorld
