Please share your 'Thought of the Day'

Sunflower

Saw this sign on Twitter just now and thought "That actually makes sense, I should take better care of my self!"

Please share your Thought of the Day - it can be anything you like - quote, poetry, proverb, photo, cartoon, drawing, joke.          - it will be fascinating to see what everyone chooses. 

P.S. If you can't see the photo this is what the sign says:  

"Don't forget....    Drink water   

and get some sunlight,

because you're basically a

house plant with more

complicated emotions."

  • "It's important to recognize that autism is first and foremost a lived reality and internal experience for autistic people. We tend to talk about autism as a list of external deficits, but many autistic traits have strong, positive effects for autistic people ourselves.

    "The joy associated with ritual, intense interests, and other 'obsessive' characteristics of autism is frequently an important and vibrant part of our lives. Recognizing that there is joy in autism — and that this joy is a core and defining part of our disability — helps us talk about autism and autistic people more authentically."
