For me being #autistic and #neurodivergent in general is like speaking only 15% of the local language. But people refuse to believe I cannot "just learn" the rest of the language. They think if I "just put a bit more effort in" I can be normal like them.

CW: weight talk . . . . . Context: I used to have an eating disorder which involved ritualistically weighing myself. Now, I weigh myself 1-2 times a month because it can be a health indicator if weight changes for no reason.

I've submitted the report. Today was the deadline. I don't feel particularly good about it, but it's sufficiently "complete" to be given away. 🙈

There is a cursed beeping sound going on somewhere outside, so auditory belt and braces for now: both earplugs and noise cancelling headphones (for the music)

Started crying laughing at Taskmaster "We were the monsters, weren't we?" It's been a little while since I've felt such mirth.

Beautiful, thoughtful, and extremely useful approach to transitions for monotropic folks. All educators, partners, carers, and friends should know about this and work to employ it with more monotropic compatriots.

One awesome thing about the campus I'm on: 5 minute walk to feeling like I'm in the middle of nowhere. Although I can still hear distant cars, there are no human voices - just a choir of birds and branches and buzzing. I thought I was coming here to scream or cry, but I've quickly calmed down.

We need to get so much better as a society at proactively supporting the most vulnerable. The onus should not always be on the person struggling to know what is available, go through endless applications and assessments, etc… It’s so inaccessible & harmful.

This is interesting, and might be a useful way to frame getting any support from another person (eg. supervisor)

I can see that most people I spend time with can generate speech faster than me and process complex speech from others faster than me. This is something I do not feel confident to ask for accommodations for.

I did a bit more than survive today, but I'm feeling pretty anxious this evening. For no reason. No reason required. But this is a good cat.
