On the train back to Belfast after a weekend of real openness, laughter, and love in Derry. The craic was 100% back — and so was the clarity. Grateful for Caroline.

We don’t follow the map. We redraw it.

Day 1 in Derry.

Me and Caroline talk all the time — but nothing beats being together.
In real life. In Ireland.

We clicked straight back in: same sharpness, same warmth, no effort.
It’s honest, it’s easy, and it feels like exhaling.

The craic is back.

Caroline and I talked in Derry. About life, difference, and what real connection feels like when you’re ND. No likes needed.

🚧 Some roads are blocked. Others are built by us.

🛤️ The real social network is lived, not liked.

A four-panel teal and yellow infographic titled “The Real Social Network Is Lived, Not Liked,” created by Anthony Magee. 1. Top panel: Large white text reads “The Real Social Network Is Lived, Not Liked,” with a yellow infinity symbol beneath it. 2. Second panel: White header reads “I Stayed with a Friend in Derry. We Talked Endlessly.” Body text explains: “Digital social platforms have made community look scrollable. Organised. In your control. But for many neurodivergent adults, the reality isn't those likes—it’s a life unlived.” 3. Third panel: Title in white: “Signals, Not Lanes.” Followed by coloured bullet points with symbols and bold headers: B-roads (yellow icon): Closed loops. Shrinking worlds. People resistant to difference. A-roads (orange icon): Open-hearted travellers. Want to connect but often don’t know how. Highways & byways (blue icon): The diagnosed. The aware. Learning to build places worth visiting. Footer text in yellow: “It's not about hierarchy. It's about route awareness. And kindness.” 4. Bottom panel: White bullet points list data: “1 in 100 are autistic” “Only 1 in 3 UK adults with ADHD are diagnosed” “Two-thirds of neurodivergent workers fear discrimination” Highlighted in yellow: “It’s time to recognise difference — and rewire connection.”
