I bet she doesn’t. It’s all about her!
On a grunka, absolutely disgusted with Cack today (the claiming PTSD has simultaneously triggered and tipped me over the edge once again with her) and I have to just pause and nominate this as a thread title. PLEASE.

Pillow Princess, for sure..
Fellow RA person here, I havent seen them mention any DMARDs (I was expecting to read something about being put on a chemo drugas most new to RA people.panic about that) or any biologics, for all that their arthritis is bad. Also, those of us with RA tend to say RA, not arthritis as there are over 100 different types of arthritis and RA is autoimmune.

What else can you say but ... lol?
I now have visions of some poor exasperated woman next to Jack saying "FFS can you tell where you're NOT ouchy before we both die of boredom"
I think you might be one of the funniest people in the world, @jenny2603, I can’t actually tell you the number of times I’ve shook with laughter reading your posts.
"I can bang out columns in half an hour". Such care, such effort. She clearly takes pride in her work.
I really can't see what she'd bring to a magazine like this? She's going to drone on about herself again isn't she? Not really the soothing pep talk or practical advice you might be looking for

Hi, I’m an autistic adult. I’m partially non-speaking. I personally find it gross to watch someone play an autistic character as if it’s as simple as putting on a costume. It’s even grosser when the movie doesn’t consult any autistic people for research. It’s even grosser when the movie involves no autistic creatives. It’s even grosser when the movie pretends to be positive for autistic people but really caters to caregivers and parents of autistic people. It’s even grosser when the movie’s creator logs on to swear at autistic people who kindly let her know that she did everything wrong and got her only info from Autism Speaks, a “charity” that does not support autistic people (they are more interested in eliminating autism than supporting autistic people — most autistic people like themselves, just wish society was accessible).
It’s super gross because society likes to pretend autistic adults don’t exist. Also, society likes to speak for us or dismiss us as “not autistic enough” based on outdated functioning labels. Basically, nothing about us without us and Sia went to extreme lengths not to include any autistic people. And Sia won’t use the words “disabled” or “autistic” because she’s both a coward who doesn’t want to be criticized (uh, we’re not dumb) and is ableist and thinks those are bad words. All kinds of yuck.
I hope this doesn’t sound like a rant at all. I’m trying to explain how it goes way beyond just an allistic playing an autistic. It’s not the same as a non-serial killer playing a serial killer. The serial killer community is not clamouring for better representation in media, as far as I know.
This is coming from someone who has been called Rain Man since they were 12. By teachers, coaches, relatives, friends... all very well meaning people. (Edit: And I even like Rain Man — please, let’s all pretend I can calculate great sums of toothpicks in an instant

Oh get a grip
Isn't it all in the wrist with her?
I think the letters I am mostly feeling are FFS...
I'm sorry, I'm actually only on 23 but I cannot contain my incandescent rage til the last page.
Someone needs to tell her that when you have ADHD or ASD or anything really you do not get every single symptom. Looks like she's run down a list and picked a symptom per personality flaw in order to avoid taking responsibility for her behaviour. Rejection sensitivity is even disputed in psych circles because it's impossible to measure and potentially a very normal human reaction.
Jack. Might as well address this directly to you. I have ADHD & ASD. I do not go around telling people to deal with it or get fucked like some coked up diva, I acknowledge the behaviour that is caused by these conditions, explain the salient issues to those affected and moderate my language/responses as much as I can. It's called being an adult. Try it.
As for the frankly bewildering idea that everyone else is a standard peg but you're super special and unique... No. You are beige personified, much the same as me, distinctly average in every way.

When I read this tweet, all I can hear is Alan Partridge saying "needless to say, I had the last laugh. NOW duck OFF," though gritted teeth.
If you lost that letter, you'd just contact them and ask them to send it again. In fact, they'd contact you again if you didn't reply.
Yes and yes again my princess. She’s well jel about Marcus and his MBE and everything else you said was perfectly put as always. *chef’s kiss
It pisses me off when people say they are LGBTQ+,
You can't be all of them. You may be part of the LGBTQ+ community, but you are not all of them. You are either L, or G or B, or.......well you get the gist. I suppose you could be 2 letters, BT, or QT, but not all of them.
Just a personal bugbear.
