It’s amazing how much of a difference it
makes for your mental health when the sun is
shining and the sky is that perfect shade of blue.
It’s like everything feels so much better. 😊
Sitting in my living room watching planes
glide overhead. This British Airways flight is on
it’s way to Los Angeles. I love days like this clear
skies, quiet moments, and feeling connected
to the journeys happening above me. 😊
Here’s the tracking number
of the flight so you can keep an
eye on it 😊

I know I say things and think differently
than most people. I also repeat myself a lot.
I don’t do this to bring attention to myself
but to help others better understand my life
with autism. And maybe I can even help
someone else overcome their own battles.
I’m not ashamed of being autistic.
I’m proud of who I am, and I’m going
to keep talking about it. ❤️
Being open about it helps me
understand myself, connect
with others, and hopefully make
someone else feel less alone.
I want to say something gently
but clearly. Talking about autism
isn’t my “entire identity” it’s part
of my life, and it matters to me.
I know this was probably meant
kindly, but talking about autism openly
is important to me. It’s part of who I am,
and I like being able to share that.
I’ve noticed my autism awareness
and mental health posts haven’t
been reaching as many people
lately, and I’m not really sure why.
If you’re seeing this, I’d really appreciate
you letting me know. And thank you
to everyone who’s supported me
along the way it means a lot. ❤️
Social media can be a lifeline for some people. 😊
Healing is hard, but this little corner
of the internet reminds me we don’t have
to go through it alone. Whether you’ve just
found your way here or you’ve been here
from the start thank you for being part of
this space. I’m grateful for you. ❤️
Every morning I wake up
and read your comments.
It’s become a grounding part
of my day. I’ve been on here 2
years now, and some of you
have been with me through it
all the highs and lows, the
laughter and the heartache.
Thank you for staying.
Sometimes I forget how far
I’ve come. Living with autism,
going through loss, pain, and
constant change none of it’s
been easy. But I’m still here.
Still trying. Still growing. And
that means everything. 😊
Feeling a bit better today. Yesterday was
tough, but I’m taking things one step at
a time and trying to be kinder to myself.
Thank you to everyone who has been there
for me every step of the way. I love you ❤️
I just wanted to say I’m sorry if it’s
been a bit chaotic with my posts
today. I have had a bit of a rough day
and it’s made me second guess everything
I write so I’ve been posting deleting
posting again. I know it might seem
silly but it’s just one of those days.
I’m having a tough day.
They happen.
But, tough days end.
We find things which help
get us through and the people
who are there for us.
Then we start fresh.
Every day is a new day.
Thank you for creating stories that
actually make a difference. As someone
who’s autistic and has been through
bullying and trauma, your videos genuinely
help more than you probably realise.
A lot of people don’t realise how much
content like this can help. For some of us, it’s
not just watching it’s feeling understood.
Watching Dhar Mann Studios isn’t
just entertainment for me it’s healing.
As someone who’s autistic and has
faced bullying and trauma, his stories
remind me that kindness, empathy,
and growth still exist in the world. That
matters more than people realise. 😊
I was getting mail when I moved in
which was at the beginning of October
but then towards the end of November
it just randomly stopped and me too.
No post since November.
Two complaints logged
with Royal Mail, two case
numbers, zero follow-up.
I’m expecting important items
and getting nothing but silence.
How is this acceptable?
The welfare system in this country is
broken in many ways, but the solution
shouldn’t be making life even harder
for disabled and low income people.
We deserve dignity and security too.
Many of us on benefits are already
struggling we’re not choosing this, and
the system is incredibly difficult to navigate.
It’s painful to hear senior politicians talk
about cutting support for vulnerable
people as if no one cares about us.
As someone with autism who relies on state
support, I find Wes Streeting’s comments deeply
hurtful. Suggesting that money for defence should
come from the welfare budget feels like people
like me are being treated as an easy target.
On my hardest days, I’ve found a
few things that really help me stay
positive and get through them. I usually
listen to 80s music, watch Dhar Mann
videos on YouTube, and call my
friends on the phone. It doesn’t solve
everything, but it genuinely helps me
feel better and keep going. 😊
Autism is a spectrum. It means every
autistic person experiences different
combinations of autistic traits.
You face many challenges but
they can be turned into strengths.
Autism is like a rainbow it has a
bright side and a darker side but
every shade is important and beautiful.
