Hello folks, I think we can all agree that there is precious little more annoying than someone telling you how great exercise is when you're struggling.

I May Be An Idiot, But I’m Not Stupid

I Think Hermione Is Autistic
Press Play to Hear an Audio Version of the Post Hello folks! One topic that I have been wondering whether or not to write about is representation in media: autistic representation that is.
