As an #ActuallyAutistic man, I wondered whether an employer could make me take a personality test here in the UK. It could (accidentally otter deliberately) detect #neurodivergence, which is a protected characteristic here: I'm not obliged to disclose my #autism to my employer, and my employer is not allowed to discriminate against me on the basis of it.
So, it's cool enough that I finally have the urge to put on my zippered hooded sweatshirt again. Part of my #Neurodivergence involves being comfortable with fabric against my skin -- and not having that (and having to wear short sleeve shirts) has been unbearable. That means it's way too hot for me. #ActuallyAutistic#ND#SkinSensitivity

This could be the connection between Ehlers-Danlos and neurodivergence. (People with EDS, like me, are 7 times as likely to be autistic and 5 times as likely to have ADHD -- also like me.)
My limitless desire for information always gets hindered by my very limited memory.
There's nothing like the ADHD experience of going to google something and immediately forgetting what you were going to search so you have to look through your recent apps to find whatever triggered the thought, but then get distracted in the apps, then just rinse and repeat.😩
