Titanic prepares to leave port, Southampton, 10 April 1912.

The ship sank in the North Atlantic Ocean in the early morning hours of 15 April 1912.
"Come at once, we have struck a berg, it's a CQD old man." - Jack Phillips, Wireless Operator.
"The sounds of people drowning are something that I can not describe to you, and neither can anyone else. It's the most dreadful sound and there is a terrible silence that follows it." - Eva Hart, Titanic Survivor

I'm obsessed with the graffiti found on the walls of Pompeii.

Vico d' Eumachia, brothel: "Gaius Valerius Venustus, soldier of the 1st praetorian cohort, in the century of Rufus, screwer of women."

Guys, you haven't changed a bit.
House of Caprasius Primus: "I don't want to sell my husband, not for all the gold in the world."

I would sell mine, if I had one
Barracks of the Julian-Claudian gladiators: "Celadus the Thracian makes the girls moan!"

Traduzindo a minha thread de ontem, que era pra ser só uma resposta a um tweet mas virou quase um desabafo:

Fui diagnosticada há alguns meses, aos 25 anos.

Passei por psicólogos e psiquiatras desde os 3 anos e recebi todos os tipos de diagnóstico, exceto autismo. +
+ Hoje consigo ver que era muito óbvio.

Nós (mulheres) somos subdiagnosticadas, especialmente porque quando expressamos nossos traços autistas, as pessoas não os veem como traços autistas. Nos veem como tímidas, rudes, anti-sociais...
E os médicos (pessoas), em geral, NÃO estão preparados para lidar com o autismo e pessoas autistas, muito menos para diagnosticar.

No meu caso, foi questionado e descartado na infância. Imaginem o qt a minha vida teria sido diferente se eu tivesse encontrado alguém capacitado.

I was diagnosed a few months ago.

At 25.

I started seeing psychologists and psychiatrists when I was 3 years old and received all different types of diagnosis, except autism - although now I see that it was VERY obvious.
We (women) are underdiagnosed, especially because when we express our autistic traits, people don't see them as autistic traits. They see us as shy, rude, antisocial...
And doctors (people), in general, are NOT prepared to deal with autism, much less to diagnose.

Our next book will honor the women who made history - from the anonymous to the most famous. We will try to give back to them, albeit symbolically, the space that has been denied so many times over the years.

I’m so moved by the research process that I needed to share.
The process is touching me deeply, and I’m emotionally affected by all the stories we have been hearing, reading and writing about.

I love the other books so much, but this one is not even done yet and I know it will be very special.
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to do this.
