I’m a top doctor and I’m autistic. I know why diagnoses are up

The number of people diagnosed isn’t at all inflated, says Mary Doherty, the founder of Autistic Doctors International

Having some tea. 🫖 I’m also watching Devil’s Advocate which is an old favourite of mine.

My new bed socks are out.

I’m having some scrambled egg on a toasted sourdough bagel. 🥯

Listening to some classical music and languishing on the sofa with a coffee.

Hello 👋

Just in bed scaring myself if anyone wants me.

Still trying to finish Slow Gods. I haven’t found this an easy read. But it is very neurodivergent coded.

I managed to find a secondhand copy of Middlemarch the other day, so I can have another crack at it. That’s my contribution to the conversation.

Why is my feed full of lists?

The double entendre weather forecast says we all may see a good couple of inches later on.

I love the ber months

Just seen, by reading the shows coming in autumn, that the haunting on the Welsh farm that was on uncanny podcasts a couple of years ago, is going to be on telly. Also, Carrie by Stephen King is being given a second outing under Mike Flanagan this autumn too. My cup runneth over.

Hello 👋

Anyway, watching Whisper Man after finding the book I’m reading a bit heavy going, so it’s films for me this weekend. I’m struggling with this film as well, it’s not gripping me.

Definitely recommend H is for Hawk. It’s a quiet reflective film about grief and trauma. Also about falconry, which piqued my interest. 🦅

I love it when he looks like this - contented.

Right H is for Hawk is on. And a cuppa is on the way.

Just watched the backend of Beaches with Barbara Hershey and Bette Midler. Classic tearjerker 😭

So a shower and then I might make a cuppa and have a wee bit of lunch and watch H is for Hawk. It feels like a Saturday afternoon film.

So that’s my walk/run done for one day.

SCREAMING

Got music on, tv off and a book to hand, tv show may follow. I’ve already caught up with episodes 2/3 of Devil in Silver with another 3 to go. Trying to stretch them out a bit. Same with Bookish.

I want to smell of herbs and spices, ouds and vanilla.

I want my dinner now 🤓

Yes, I know…..but it’s fair trade That’s all I’m saying in my defence.

Why must I always be the last one to know something? I’m always on the outside, on the fringes of something, while everyone else has already worked it out. I think I must be some kind of alien. 👽

I hate cosy crime dramas with a passion, but Bookish is in a different class. It’s brilliant, the era, the locations, the characters, even the theme music. And being based in a book shop had me hooked.

Another rainy day. Slightly warm, but a damp day is a good day right now.
