IF IT HAS BEEN A VERY LONG DAY, YOU ARE ‘WEARY’. IF SOMEONE IS ACTING IN A WAY THAT MAKES YOU SUSPICIOUS, YOU ARE ‘WARY’.
ALL IN ‘DUE’ TIME, NOT ‘DO’ TIME
‘PER SE’ NOT ‘PER SAY’
THANK YOU
BREATHE – THE VERB FORM IN PRESENT TENSE
BREATH – THE NOUN FORM
THEY ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE
WANDER – TO WALK ABOUT AIMLESSLY
WONDER – TO THINK OF IN A DREAMLIKE AND/OR WISTFUL MANNER
THEY ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE (but one’s mind can wander)
DEFIANT – RESISTANT DEFINITE – CERTAIN
WANTON – DELIBERATE AND UNPROVOKED ACTION (ALSO AN ARCHAIC TERM FOR A PROMISCUOUS WOMAN)
WONTON – IT’S A DUMPLING THAT’S ALL IT IS IT’S A FUCKING DUMPLING
BAWL- TO SOB/CRY
BALL- A FUCKING BALL
YOU CANNOT “BALL” YOUR EYES OUT
AND FOR FUCK’S SAKE, IT’S NOT “SIKE”; IT’S “PSYCH”. AS IN “I PSYCHED YOU OUT”; BECAUSE YOU MOMENTARILY MADE SOMEONE BELIEVE SOMETHING THAT WASN’T TRUE.
THANK YOU.

IT’S ‘MIGHT AS WELL’. ‘MIND AS WELL’ DOES NOT MAKE GRAMMATICAL SENSE.
It took me seeing about 4 NHS doctors, two of whom were musculosketal specialists, over the course of 8 months before I gave up and paid out of pocket to see a private hypermobility specialist to get my hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome diagnosis, a year after I started presenting symptoms.
I know that I’m fortunate – it “only” took me a year to get diagnosed, I had the resources to afford a private appointment for my diagnosis, and I have the resources to continue to pay for private treatment by a physiotherapist specialising in hypermobility. I’m also lucky enough to have a GP who understands and believes me when it comes to all the weirdness that comes with EDS, and will take me as an expert in my own condition.
Most people aren’t this lucky. EDS is becoming more recognised and more and more people are recognising their symptoms and pursuing a diagnosis, but the NHS still hasn’t implemented a formal diagnostic process. Post-diagnosis, patients are just abandoned. Complications and comorbidities are poorly understood and diagnosis and treatment of the rarer ones such as mast-cell activation syndrome (MCAS) and craniocervical instability (CCI) isn’t readily available on the NHS, forcing people to crowdfund for further private diagnoses and treatment.
The NHS is failing EDSers, and something as simple and bureaucratic as an established care pathway would improve so many lives.
Even if you don’t have EDS, please share and sign – it’s an official government petition so you won’t get spam emails and it takes under a minute.
The recent study “Being vs. Appearing Socially Uninterested: Challenging Assumptions about Social Motivation in Autism,” and the resulting New York Times article, got me thinking about the value we place on socializing. The article does a good job, I think, on telling non-autistic audiences that we are just as human as they are. That autistic people need to be met halfway just like anyone else. That our body language and communication and social interests displaying differently than others does not mean it is lesser.
So I don’t really have a bone to pick with that. Mostly, I just got to thinking about the immense value we place on socializing in the first place.
