i was drafting a post that said “a single boba tea can replace up to two meals if you are pure of heart” and the reason i didn’t post it is because as i was typing those words i got so dizzy i felt like i was being abducted by aliens
I had a vision (Laila as op)

In case anyone was wondering why 'self-diagnosis' is so prevalent in neurodiverse communities: this is a real letter I received today after a year and a half on a waiting list for an autism assessment.
I did everything I was meant to do; I went to my appointments and filled out their questionnaires and waited patiently, and in the end, the answer was no. Not, 'no, you're not autistic', just 'no'.
And many people in countries without free health care can't even get this far — I know I certainly can't afford to get assessed privately, given that I can't work anymore.
(I may just ✨️fucking cry✨️)

While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a slapping,
As of some one gently flapping, flapping at my chamber door.
“’Tis some fairy,” I muttered, “slapping at my chamber door—
Only this and nothing more.”
Quoth the walrus, "Are you sure?"
had to draw it

Sometimes, it strikes me how much easier and nicer life could be if people just put a little more thought into how their words can be taken by those around them.
"I sent out an email about this already. Please read it." Could have very easily been: "Hey, I've sent out an email about this, which should hopefully answer any questions you may have."
(Simply answering the question again would work too, but I digress)
Functionally, these two statements do the same thing in directing the recipient to the information they need. But the latter is far kinder. It may not even be intentional, but the former could be seen as annoyed, rude, or even belittling. A simple change in wording can make a massive difference to how this advice can affect the recipient's relationship with both the sender and themselves.
And before you tell me that thinking about every interaction like this would be exhausting or an unreasonable thing to ask of people, let me just say — Autistic people do this on a near-constant basis. We have to learn and re-learn the best way to handle most interactions because we are often criticised for doing things 'incorrectly' in everyday interactions.
Applying enough thought to a written communication to make a simple change like this is not too much to ask. You may even find it takes less and less effort as it becomes more instinctual to show others respect and kindness with how you communicate with them.
