This is provably false. Diagnosis is happening across all age groups, particularly among parents who are only getting diagnosed after their children are. The previous counts were ALWAYS WRONG.

Made it to 80 days before forgetting ONE TIME to make sure I'd finished the prior day's #wordle before midnight rolled around. (I'd gotten stuck and frustrated the day before and meant to come back to it.) Games with streaks are a special kind of torture for ADHD brains. 😭
There isn't an "epidemic" of autism. Less Stigma + Better Diagnostics = Identifying more of the autistic people **who have always been there** #autismawareness #autismacceptance

An authoritarian gov't on Mars, dissidents rounded up, a state-run media suppressing a "Boston Massacre" analogue. My "90's chase thriller on Mars" was inspired by movies like The Net and Enemy of the State. I miss the days when its dystopia felt quaint and far-fetched. tinyurl.com/5ahv5833 #booksky
Einige Sekunden lang starrte ich ihn nur sprachlos an. „Okay, wir können uns gern duzen, auch wenn ich jetzt weiß, dass du verrückt bist. Du willst, dass ich mit dir und deiner Tochter einmal quer durchs halbe Land laufe?“ 😀 www.amazon.de/dp/B0GS4NDFHW 2/2
Those claiming it's a great mystery why the number of autism diagnoses are going up are missing some obvious clues. #autismawareness #autism

"A character-driven trek through a quieter apocalypse, rich in moral questions if light on spectacle." -- Kirkus Reviews. Love this. It isn't a story about spectacle. Just three normal people trying make it through a world turned upside down. #books #readingcommunity #booksky tinyurl.com/mry9pr3t
Facebook suggested these ad images for my book. Even if I weren't already opposed to GenAI, these are just objectively, laughably terrible. In one, it cloned the male MC and made him hold hands with himself; another turned him into a little boy; and that head... 😂 STOP SHOVING THIS GARBAGE AT US.
My daughter designed this cool image for my Self-Rescuing Princesses blog, representing the three genres that I usually write about (sci-fi, fantasy, and dystopian). I'm so proud of her! If you need character sketches, check her out at ko-fi.com/dailumii

Every so often, Blackout Trail surges in the Australia market. I just wanted to give a shout-out to my Aussie readers. It's pretty neat that people on the other side of the world are enjoying my story. Thanks to all my readers, wherever you are! (Side note - I love Australian TV, esp Sea Patrol.)
My oldest was also into marine biology. I remember the siphonophores from Octonauts!
Impossible to pick one favorite, so I will go with one of the earliest that made an impression: True Grit (1969). Now I have a blog devoted to such films/shows: www.selfrescuingprincesses.com
"A superbly plotted post-apocalyptic thriller." ~ When an EMP brings down the power grid, a doctor embarks on a perilous journey. How far will she go for those she loves? ~ Blackout Trail: An EMP Survival Thriller. Also in audio/KU. #readingcommunity #books #booksky books2read.com/b/bpyWB9
Loved this reader review. Thank you, Bekky! "(A story) focused on surviving the challenges of a post-apocalyptic world instead of the bad guys chasing them down was so refreshing." BLACKOUT TRAIL: A Post-Apoc EMP Survival Thriller. books2read.com/b/bpyWB9 #readingcommunity #books #booksky
Another reader review I really enjoyed. Thank you, Wendy W! "This is 100% the opposite of the raging, starving, constant violence of most post-apocalyptic books." BLACKOUT TRAIL: A Post-Apoc EMP Survival Thriller. lindanaughton.com/blackout_tra... #readingcommunity #books #booksky

I love hearing from readers. Thanks Rich M. "An epic journey for sure. Definitely recommend this to people looking for an action/adventure novel with a bit of a love story." BLACKOUT TRAIL: A Post-Apoc EMP Survival Thriller. lindanaughton.com/blackout_tra... #readingcommunity #books #booksky
Great thread! I think piece is the crux of the issue. We're caught in a chicken-and-egg problem: no readers, no ebooks; no ebooks, no readers. I have ppb/audio wide, but eBook is AMZ exclusive because KU is almost 50% of my overall royalties. Wish it were different. ☹️
When you have a year+ reading streak going, until one day your brain forgets that books exist. (This has happened twice before.)
Fall has turned our many forests into a beautiful array of colors. We missed peak foliage by about a week, but it was still cool. Made me think about what my MCs in Blackout Trail faced hiking through Allegheny National Forest. lindanaughton.com/blackout_tra...
