    The passive aggression on the forum is so dispiriting - Albus wouldn't have allowed it to become commonplace.

    He understood the trauma of late diagnosis and uniquely, he understood autistic women's experiences.

    Why are 'non-binary people' even linked to late diagnosis for women?

    Autistic men and 'non-binary people' would be a more appropriate association.

    Aw thanks so much @Strawberry1. I hope you have a good weekend too. I'll probably sleep most if it as got to stay up 'till c 0100hrs to 'welcome' the astronauts back ๐Ÿซ ๐Ÿ˜Š. Just stuck two hard back books at my back to stop me falling asleep ๐Ÿคฃ. Sleep well.

    It is hard to believe they could take it so personally, knowing how it would affect your life.

    I don't think I have ever admitted this here, but I once worked a 6 month contract with the then Benefits Agency, with the Benefits Investigation Service. I was only involved in sorting through filing cabinets, distributing internal mail ( Was on multiple floors, a big Benefits Agency office block), sitting in the smoking room ๐Ÿ˜Ž.

    If I think back to how those investigators carried on, I don't have trouble believing what you are saying.

    I can't actually believe they let me loose on such sensitive files, and I don't even remember signing any sort of confidentiality papers etc.

    We keep them in work. I've been a UC guinea pig and that's all I am to them.

    Good morning everyone.

    hope you all manage to have the best day you can have.

    I may venture out later to the local bowling club annual opening day (as a spectator) depending on the weather.

    It overlooks the sea and the views are beautiful.

    Sending positive vibes and best wishes to everyone.

    @Strawberry1 thinking of you.

    Take care. ๐Ÿ’•
