This week is #AutismAwarenessWeek. In June 2018 I was diagnosed as #ActuallyAutistic and SO much made sense to me about why I am the way I am. At the same time I came across @MeDecoded and I'm so grateful to @TweedsNeeds for having me as a contributor 🥰 medecoded.com/author/lisaven…

Be yourself at work.... the opportunity cost of masking and the unspoken rules of be yourself unless you are... outspoken, direct, bossy, emotional or any other of those gendered nonsense terms... @TweedsNeeds @profamandakirby #WhereHaveAllTheGirlsGone
