If you found yourself coming to from a dissociative state mid tweet, you wouldn't say 'well i've started now' and carry on tweeting the same narrative without a break in the tweets or story? Or you'd maybe look and see what you'd literally just posted to the internet and think well I don't remember doing this, I'm going to delete this until I feel more in control?
I also thought that a fugue state meant you are disassociated, with memory loss, and that it’s generally triggered by trauma of some kind. I’m a bit sceptical that you could be in this state, but still able to do a perfectly written account of the trauma which has triggered the disassociation.
I think she’s been on Google as she wanted another “excuse” for her actions. She must have got bored of using ADHD. Not melodramatic enough?

Walter White was my first thought when I read fugue state too. He could actually cook though.

She did tweet re the Sarah Everard case and I thought, hmmm she’s gone a bit far. Not sure if she deleted it (can’t see her tweets).
Ooh look at me ‘quoting my own posts’! I’ve gone all Mackie. Found the tweet in last thread. I don’t want to re-screenshot it. But she has definitely crossed a line, a paper wouldn’t get away with it.

“Victim” is not a bad word. It is a factual word. You can be both a victim and a survivor. “Victim” implies nothing other than someone or something caused you harm. I think insisting you’re not a victim is really insisting you’re not weak, which adds a weird value/moral component to “victim.” There is nothing shameful about being a victim. I don’t think she has thought about the word.
All words are interchangeable 🙄 not a clue, she picks them like letters out of a scrabble bag

I often think this too. No one helps her. Or so it seems
I think that she has received a lot of support but wonder if her 'completed it, mate' attitude is in the way. Her two previous partners and fellow @essexgirl101 Frau have confirmed that she had lovely and stablw partners.

I'm sure you're not, but the way you've provided this as a supporting example is making it seem like all people with autism are like this and it makes me a bit uncomfortable. Just don't want to give Jack ammunition!

I know so many people with autism who don't behave like this. And are brilliant in the workplace.
Just to chime in that this is the sort of thing my Aspie friend would do. Because she can’t read body language and pick up on social cues, you have to be quite blunt with her (which seems rude to us) and she adds it to her bank of things she’s had to be told and to actively learn, whereby a non-autistic person would be able to know just by reading the room. I dare say even Jack’s lemon tossing was just her amusing herself and being awkward about not knowing where her cue to re-enter the conversation would be etc. As an autistic person wanting to regularly be on TV and in the media, I think it would be important for her to get some honest feedback about where she goes wrong, how her body language and actions seem rude and awkward and get some training from an autism specialist about what needs to be in place so that she is able to concentrate better without becoming distracting to those working with her, such as having something small to fiddle with or something to prepare for the next section while co-hosts are talking rather than resorting to (or being tempted to) toss a lemon.

Honestly it feels like she's bored of making poverty her entire personality so is changing to make her horrific experiences outlined in that tweet thread her entire personality.

It's utterly twisted.
