ryanthedemiboy: acemindbreaker: fictions-stranger: adventures-in-asexuality: absynthe–minded: why caffeine works for some of us, but not all, and even then it often depends on the way you take it and the dosage how come all of us have gastrointestinal problems? addendum to the above: what exactly are our gastrointestinal problems? are we genetically more likely to have […]

disneyprincesslaura-x: I see myself in a lot of this! Is anyone else excited to tune into “Are you autistic?” On Channel 4 tonight? I was finally diagnosed with aspergers in December after years of waiting and I couldn’t be more happier to be a part of the autistic community ❤️ ❤️❤️
