Isn't it great when you're trying to work, or sleep, or ANYTHING and your brain just won't shut up. I've laid in bed for hours trying to sleep but can't because my brain just has to tell me about a bunch of useless stuff for no reason! #autiebiographical #actuallyautistic

Να είσαι άστεγος , να αναγκάζεσαι να τοποθετήσεις το παιδί σου σε ανάδοχη οικογένεια για το καλό του, να έχεις προβλήματα υγείας και να σε βάζουν φυλακή για €2.473 για οφειλές στο δημαρχείο!
