With upcoming PhD viva & nerve wracking talk for RCPsych NDPSIG to give next day, everything that reduces anxiety helps. As per Autistic SPACE framework, predictability is key. Thanks to @bikerlou.bsky.social for videoing access route to viva room as I can't visit in advance #AutisticsInAcademia

I have just finished the paperwork for my interim PhD progress review. There was a new section this year asking us how much of the thesis has been drafted so far, so I added up what I've done and have 35,145 words! Not bad for the start of year 3. #PhDChat #AutisticsInAcademia #AutRes

I met another AuDHDer in an academic context today! We spotted each other in a crowded session, as #AutisticsInAcademia do. Sometimes I get tired of how much I need to disclose neurodiversity in the workplace (just to survive). Then I meet others & it’s worth it. And academia feels one person safer.

#AutisticsinAcademia was a rad hashtag over on Twitter and I really hope it makes it here so the wonderful Autistic Academic community there can translate here.
This was my first conference talk called ADHD: Socialised as Female. Incidentally it actually also ended up being my first #standup show.
