Whenever anyone says bellend I think of @Billybellend now!

Who “folds in” green beans (Jack, I know) folding is a very specific term which has no real use outside of baking where you are trying to keep the air in, no?

Similarly, I am sure she mentioned 'julienning some carrot into ribbons' in one of the many Christmas Dinner guises, which really boiled my piss at the time. I didn't mention it because I am a massive pedant and being new to Tattle wanted to keep that to myself for a while BUT julienning is cutting into matchsticks and ribbons are, y'know

I noticed that, I think Princes is trolling Del Monte and I am, as da yoof say, here for it.

Getting all up her niche . Totally here for it too (I bet their site has less retro style horror show food than Del Monte too)

She will lay claim to whatever condition she thinks makes her look quirky or interesting while at the same time giving her a convenient excuse for any negative behaviour. She couldn't describe any aspect of a life through an autistic lens without plagiarising other people's experiences. That is why she's always playing up to the stereotypes that the rest of us keep actively fighting against: she doesn't know what the duck she's talking about.

I know opinions on this vary within the community but I personally feel that if I was only autistic on Twitter and otherwise neurotypical I'd consider myself very fortunate.

I used to work for a consultant neurologist who had us all donate samples as controls into a preliminary autism study (not allowed, don't tell anyone!). He had us all do an autism diagnotistic test as a very basic assessment of our responses to make sure we were viable controls. After this, he called me into his office and told me I was likely on the lower end of the spectrum and so my samples weren't going to be used.

I've never followed it up and gotten an official diagnosis - although it did explain some stuff about my reactions, having to learn responses and conversational skills by observation and memorisation, I felt that it wouldn't affect how I was and wasn't enough of an issue to make a difference if I sought help. I feel that she's had something similar, an offhand comment given to her and chased it up as far as she possibly can to use an excuse for being terrible in real life. To me that isn't autism, it's just being crappy.

I struggle to see anything redeeming in her, and wielding a genuine dignosis that affects people hugely as an excuse for being horrible is damaging to genuine sufferers. Goes for her ADHD, arthritis, autism, all of it.

God, she's a pain the arse and the people who ask her dumb questions are too. Just Google it you bellends!

Some of these have got to be a piss take...surely? Most packets of dry stuff have recipes on them and they certainly have the cooking instructions.

Now, how exactly DO you eat custard?

This poor individual seems to think they are sitting on a stash of toxic waste that is about explode!

 

[Marmalade Atkins]

From her lockdown larder guidelines ()

Best of luck?

Oops.

Hi @TVC15 there’s a really interesting documentary about a tv presenter with ASD. Not sure if or how you could access it where you are

Chris Packham: Asperger’s And Me

The thing is, Chris managed to get a tv career in the 80s and maintain it AND be something of a national treasure.
I guess he doesn’t have RA and ADHD and he isn’t non-binary so he had it easy

Although he is a vegan...

What’s with all the Waltons-esque messages all of a sudden? She’s mentioned her siblings more in the last couple of days than she has all of last year.

Make me want to puke tbh

 

[Traazers]

Anyone got any ideas?

Anyone?

Just when I think the squiggles can't get any stupider.

I am also really, really enjoying that Princes are interacting with her more than Del Monte are.

You know how it says report after each post, so you can tattle to the tattle bosses? I always feel like pressing report when Jack makes a promise I reckon she won’t keep.

Maybe I’m a pedantic horrible witch (especially if the brother has health problems Jack hasn’t yet shared with Twitter) but there shouldn’t be any “popping” in to Asda and 14 year olds shouldn’t be joining their parents for a wander round the shop.

Also one of my least fav groups of people are those who you see when out for a walk - they’re having a “compliant” meet up stood two metres away chatting across the path - but means everyone else has to either walk through them and their Covid spittle or walk round in them through the mud.

A while ago a family/ group of friends in my supermarket were catching up, and I cursed at them for blocking the isles.... Take it outside FFS!

The absolute delusion. How freeing must it be to float through life with a complete absence of critical thought?
