I have autism and special needs. I lost both my parents when I was 18. I was attacked and bullied. I then lost my confidence. It is never too late to change your life. Six years ago I was battling depression. Never giving up is worth the light at the end of the tunnel. ��

I understand many people are angry. I share their anger and I stand with them. The world has gone from poor leadership, to a pandemic, to another war, and now the news out of the US Supreme Court. I know it’s hard, but I also know good always wins. And I believe it will again.

I’m going to be travelling down to Melton Mowbray, England on Sunday to see some friends I haven’t seen since September last year. I’m looking forward to catching up with them!

When Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine, he thought he’d declare victory in days. Well, it's been two months. The Ukrainian people are fighting back and not giving up. The world is not giving up. We will stay united against this evil. Saw this on the top right of the van Who agrees?

To my American friends upset by the news tonight, I want to say I stand with u. The world has gone from poor leadership, to a pandemic, to another war, and now the news out of the US Supreme Court. I know it’s hard, but I also know good always wins. And I believe it will again.

I have been asked the question a lot as to why I’m not currently in my new house. The reason is because my mental health has been so bad. My Anxiety and OCD have prevented me from doing this for such a long time. I am very Proud of how far I’ve come! #NeverGiveUp

Here’s a memory I would like to share with all of you my mom liked robins and when she passed away I was walking through the local park one day and saw a robin looking towards me on the bench and the first thing I thought of was it’s a sign that she’s watching over me!

A reminder that just because you’re done with #COVID19 doesn’t mean COVID is done. I still get anxious when out and about. I still wear my mask. I still take a sensible approach. The pandemic is far from being over.

I had someone say to me “Covid is a hoax, you've been exposed. Go live your life." NO. I’m autistic and have major anxiety. I constantly worry whether I will catch Covid, I stick to the rules & keep safe. I think there’s a lot of people like me u just never hear from them.

So I got vaccinated and boosted. I socially distance and wear a mask and guess what? I’m fine. I’ve never been infected. I’ve never been sick. I stick to all the rules and keep safe. I think there are a lot of people like me. You just never hear from them.

Today is #YomHaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day, and as we honor the millions that were murdered by the Nazis we must also remember the genocide Putin is committing in Ukraine right now and we must ensure that #NeverAgain truly means something!

I have been apart of Twitter for ten years now. I have formed many great relationships and it’s also been a great platform that’s helped me through my battles of Anxiety and Depression. Sharing my story has helped so many people around the world. I continue to stay.

If you’re thinking of leaving. Please take care of yourself, you do what’s right for you and your own self care. But me? I’m not going anywhere. It’ll take a lot more than #ElonMusk buying Twitter to chase me outta here.

Those who don’t know what my books about. It’s my journey of experiences through trials and tribulations to help people understand what it’s like to be autistic so they don’t feel judged. So we can create a society that works for autistic people who struggle with changes.

People have asked when they can purchase my book. I am currently writing the last chapter. I set aside a hour everyday. I hope my book about my lived experience of being an autistic adult will help parents and young people who are facing similar circumstances.

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. If u see this, please stop and say hello. Feeling alone.
