Hey just a general PSA from someone officially diagnosed and documented:

Now is not the time to seek out an autism diagnosis.

RFK's plans have been made very clear and any diagnosis you do get will get you put on this "national disease registry" they're proposing.

Trust me when I say I completely understand the need for accommodations and a better understanding of yourself, but if you have gone this long without being diagnosed, you will be better off waiting.

Furthermore, listen to and advocate for folks who are diagnosed, especially folks with higher support needs. They'll be the first ones targeted for whatever bullshit "experimental treatments" the government tries to push.

Stay safe and look out for your neighbor.

my secret: making friends is so much easier once you learn not to feel guilty or nervous for existing. the more self assured you get, the more talkative you become! the more talkative you become, the more approachable you are! and as a bonus, when you feel confident casually chatting with others (randomly leaving friendly comments, or inviting someone to come sit with you) it makes it easy for people to like you!

flip the script in your brain! the people around you aren’t critics you need to impress. lots of people spend a lot of time wondering if anyone sees them. if you’re the one who has the confidence to say “hey! i notice you! and you! you’re cool!” you’ll find others naturally gravitating towards you, and friendships blossom from there :)

Adult realization: you will make mistakes, you will act irrationally. You will commit some wrongs that cannot be fully righted. People will dislike you and misunderstand you for all sorts of reasons. None of these make you a bad person. All you can do is try your best to be kind and just to people, grow and learn.

I accidentally thought about Mel King and Parker Leverage meeting and now I can't think about anything that isn't The Pitt Job

The Leverage team are in Pittsburgh for a job when Breanna jacks up her ankle and while anyone on the team (except Harry) would've just toughed it out, none of them will let her so they collectively bully her into the waiting room. Parker joins her, everyone else finds a coffee shop or something to chill until it's done.

Harry and Breanna are new, Eliot and Sophie have no excuse for being surprised when Breanna finds a Mark. The scheme is irrelevant, let's say a hospital admin is using other people's logins to artificially inflate billing numbers.

The Crew sneak in. Eliot steals a janitor's uniform, Harry fakes sudden onset inability to speak and Sophie "helpfully" translates for him. Langdon really was trying to be nice when he sent Javadi in to get them started, but she's the worst possible person to handle Full Sophie.

It's vitally important to me that

A. the doctors all notice something slightly weird, but only one each, and none of them big enough to warrant further examination, so they're collectively oblivious.

A.1. King and Parker get along like a house on fire, in that Mel immediately lands on Parker's "will set someone's house on fire to protect" list.

A.2. Breanna tries very hard not to develop a crush on Santos, and fails miserably. Trinity is aware, and not not into it except for the pesky ethics thing.

B. The nurses definitely know something is up, but decide to help after Eliot handles a patient who was harassing the 19 year old who's only been there for a week

and C. Nobody mixes up Harry and Robby, and in fact those two coincidentally never see each other's faces, but multiple people tell Harry he looks like that guy from ER. He doesn't see it.
