Is it realistic for an adult autistic to visit the Bayeux Tapestry exhibition? Yes, but know what you're getting into and do your prep. This was my experience. #Autism #BayeuxTapestry

"I have sleeping problems. Or, to be more precise, problems getting into bed in the evening."
"You know it's good if your bedroom is cool, right?"
"So, you're saying if my bed is on fire, I might have some problems motivating myself to go to bed? Good to know..."
