RT by @BootstrapCook: It’s shocking how many Autists and ADHD’ers have Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD)! Perhaps we are so used to being criticised for our differences, entirely blamed for mutual communication challenges, and told we have done something wrong, that we just come to expect rejection?

Started Christmas shopping this afternoon. There’s something incredibly clarifying about hitting the local high street, four days before Christmas. Like Occams Razor for festive gifting. Cut away all the complications and frippery and what’s left is exactly what’s needed.

R to @davidmbarnett: This was the only day I could take an afternoon off work else I’d be a Christmas Eve spectator. Bimbling about in my nice bubble of bamboo socks 🧦 while everyone else loses their heads in the Boots 3 for 2 aisle is my fave Olympic sport

R to @radiohead319: There are two kinds of people who go Christmas shopping in January.

1: Extremely organised people, for the year ahead

OR

2: Extremely chaotic people, for the year just missed.

I ~have~ been the #2 variety several times, but never the #1!

R to @radiohead319: I organise around 7% of my life with military precision, and the rest is a shole of chaos. If that helps at all! I’m working on getting that 7% to 10% by the end of the year!

R to @keziaroseinked: It’s great isn’t it. And most people can be covered in Asda, M&S, the record store, the toy shop, book shop or the pawnbrokers. 😁

R to @DavidTo60389264: Jar of jam. Use the jam. Clean it, soak the label off, fill it with sea water. Nab a ribbon from the inside shoulder of a top, tie it around the lid, and it’s a memento from your trip 😉

R to @BootstrapCook: You may get the misguided impression from this suggestion that I am something of a romantic, don’t be fooled 🤣

R to @ThomasKGSlinger: I have discovers bamboo socks in recent years and my feet have a huff if I wear anything else now. Boots do the best ones. From a fellow sock enthusiast- it’s like a cuddle for your tootsies 🥰

R to @stuartdredge: You just say ‘we’re going Christmas shopping’ and by the time they realise you mean ‘for everyone except you’ they’ve usually got a bag in each hand 🤣
