I apologised to my husband for not finishing the task I had planned for today.
He said, “Yes, but how many side quests did you get done along the way?”
I feel seen - my whole life is main quests being disrupted by side quests.

Love a doughnut, love well-being, love neurodivergence well-being, and love a positive workplace.
What is not to love?

Balance is important in life, especially when the world feels overwhelming. In this blog @OutFoxgloved talks about building a balanced life, how she adapts to the challenges of the everyday and how she has learnt her limits. Can you relate? autistrhi.com/2022/03/24/fin…
I wrote a thing after a thing and used up all my words to do it
Autistic Social Hangovers are invisible. I don’t want people to see the mask and not understand the cost of putting it on
I also don’t want them to stop inviting me to things!

The Day my Autism Saved my Daughter's Life autistrhi.com/2017/01/11/the… via @outfoxgloved
A beautifully written, poetic and honest story that I felt a connection to.
Two entirely normal food obsessions I had as a sensory-seeking teen: I would microwave tinned anchovies for ten seconds and devour them; & at school you could buy vinegar sachets for 2p & I’d drink them at break time
Utter bliss from both. Am I alone in this? #AskingAutistics
“I need to be me again before I forget how. Meltdowns aren’t me. Meltdowns are the consequence of not being me enough. They’re the extreme-stress response when I’ve been ignoring the signs that things need to change.”

I don’t want to normalise meltdowns, because they’re a stress response, they should never be normal

I just want to thank @FernBrady for putting that bit in her book about meltdowns. I happened to read it at just the right time
It’s not an easy topic. I’m a grown-up with a sensible job and comfy shoes, but there is a side that is less sanitised and neat

Bloody hell, I can't even begin to emphasise how important of a point this is.

When you have a really rough day, and then you get home and remember you’ve got builders in so can’t collapse, and then your builder sees you’re feeling rubbish and shows you the picture of a rainbow they took from your window… that specific emotion needs a name.

I'm studying the benefits of time, space and activities used to recover, decompress, regulate and recharge without being disturbed by other people.
