Wooden fruit drives me *up the wall* because :
Someone chopped down a tree, to make a Decorative item, that represents Food, that you cannot eat!
And yet -
Just saw an advert for a "Wooden Egg" to use for sock darning ~ specifically ~ and I cannot stop giggling.
Wooden.
Egg.
S'funny to me when people ask "How do you KNOW?' whenever I'm explaining my #NeuroSpicey lived experiences
How do I KNOW I had Hyperlexia ?

Well I read Stephen King's FireStarter at age 6.
I loved it because Charlie (main character) was one year older than me for most of the book!
Should I have been reading any Stephen King at age 6? Very much NO. Was I? Very Much Yes. I was bored of the Bible and had finished all the Asterix & Obelix books at the local library
#AutisticPrideDay I’m out at work as ADHD and self screened positive for autism and wanted to SHOUT OUT to everyone that #NeuroSpicey rawk.
Unseen engines driving change and keeping a lot running despite the neurotypical interference.

Fun medical things. Beyond #adhd and #neurospicey conditions, how do you all cope with other medical conditions? Examples: #diabetes, #anemia, #ibs, #kidneystone, #arthritis, #thyroid etc?
I suspect sometimes symptoms go largely ignored in many cases due to high masking and conditioning to "be ok". Any thoughts?
Big topic I guess. Get wild.
Let's talk #neurospicey and how it bonks me #learningjapanese. I see the kanji "behind" 後. Then "before" 前. My brain equates them by conflating "it is before it" and "it is behind it". "it" is on both sides...so now (in my head) I have a 50/50 situation unless I very intentionally STOP and think about them. I do this with other things all the time. The oppisite of a thing. It can be incredibly frustrating to myself AND others. Very tough to combat this type of bonking, especially at work.
I just got a date by challenging someone to watch jeopardy and see who can get the most right answers.
Loser has to kiss the winner. #trans #neurospicey
Does anyone else get unsettled by having two different colored light sources? Like my reading lamp is a very bright, almost clinical white. My living room light is standard yellowish. If I have the reading lamp and the ceiling light on , the contrast between the two lights will bother me until I shut off the overhead one.
Neurospicy or just weird quirk? Never bothers my partner.
