Suppose you're wondering "am I autistic??" Well maybe you are and maybe you aren't but there's absolutely no need to panic. Now read on... #Autism helenjeffries.wordpress.com/2024/01/08/hel…


Do you get told you're too sensitive? You need to get better at dealing with rejection? I get that - but being autistic it's hard. #Autism helenjeffries.wordpress.com/2024/11/18/res…


11 November is an opportunity to consider the insanity of war, and the lessons that that great documentary: Blackadder Goes Forth, can teach us. #Autism helenjeffries.wordpress.com/2024/11/11/loo…


People say they want to understand my autistic brain, but mostly it feels like what they want is for me to just stop being different. This is about why that's difficult. #Autism helenjeffries.wordpress.com/2024/11/04/you…


It's brilliant. And my autistic brain finds Ludwig so relatable! (Except Mozart is better obvs.)

It's the last episode in the current series of #Ludwig tonight! (@BBCOne 9pm.) Thanks so much for all the nice comments - I'm thrilled that so many people have enjoyed the show.

Well said Patrick!

Reminding myself that I’m good enough as I am - I’m just me and that’s what counts. If people can’t accept me for all my quirks and idiosyncrasies, then they aren’t worth my time or energy. I need to keep loving myself ❤️ #selflove #perfectlyimperfect #imperfectlyperfect

To an autistic person, a statement of the facts can be the end of the argument. Needing to manage the feelings of neurotypicals who don't respond that way can be a big challenge at work. #Autism helenjeffries.wordpress.com/2024/10/28/why…


Just because someone is in a position of professional authority, it doesn't mean they necessarily know what's right for someone. Most professionals are wonderful people who are doing all they can to help, but they can still get things wrong. #Autism helenjeffries.wordpress.com/2024/10/21/the…


If you're autistic you've probably had meltdowns - mine involving just not being able to communicate or deal with the world. But how to manage them? #autism helenjeffries.wordpress.com/2024/10/14/aut…


Judging from his accent in Mary Poppins I have doubts #DickVanDyke #HeIsBritish

The anniversary of the day I got diagnosed is an important day for me. It's the start of the rest of my life and the beginning of being liberated from so much shame and misunderstanding about myself. But why didn't I realise sooner?? #Autism helenjeffries.wordpress.com/2024/10/10/my-…


So you're autistic and you manage to get that job interview - what can you ask for that might help you show what you can really do? #Autism helenjeffries.wordpress.com/2024/10/07/job…


The @BBCSingers at 100 today are one day younger than Jimmy Carter and both have proved resolutely difficult to finish off.


So many of we autistics mess up job applications, and its my experience that we tend to fall in to the same few traps. Here's what I've learned. #autism helenjeffries.wordpress.com/2024/09/30/aut…


Some people don't like having a "label" but others - like me - find it liberating. My autism diagnosis has helped me so much. #Autism helenjeffries.wordpress.com/2024/09/23/sup…

Is this the coolest musician at the @bbcproms? Wait for it... Catch up on all this season's Proms on @BBCSounds or @BBCiPlayer #BBCProms


Should anyone need the quintessence of Britishness it's here - internet snark about the Queue for the Queen's lying in state set to Anglican chant.

If you would like a copy of this psalm chant, please form an orderly queue. #TheQueue Original tweet thread credit: @curiousiguana

96% capacity. Who wouldn’t be ecstatic at that figure for 5,900 tickets (incl. 1000 standing) 7 nights a week for 8 solid weeks? + 10.6m TV watchers, 4.6m streaming @BBCiPlayer & @BBCSounds So much for classical music being so unpopular. @bbcproms @DCMS #NotJustTheLastNight

Everyone's got a colleague they think might be autistic - given the autistic prevalence rates they probably have. But what to do? I suggest offering help without labelling. #Autism helenjeffries.wordpress.com/2024/09/16/my-…
