Yep, Yeppers, sure thing we can do that.

This is a daily post for “casual” conversation. If you want to post or talk about something non autism related this is where to do it. For example if you want to info dump about your special interest but it doesn’t fall into “autism related” then you can post it here in the comments. All other rules are still active, be respectful to each other.

I'd say something sympathetic but I'm too flat to think of anything useful so please have this sentence

No, nope, we won't do that. Sincerely, (my) Brain.

I've tried to learn patience and compassion towards myself while recovering from burnout, but it's hard as I'm used to thinking that my permission to exist comes from being useful and oh boi does it bring up shame to not be. Today anxiety kicked in hard, but it helped to do some journaling on those thoughts. I also decided to try out the "How We Feel" -app.

I just came home from autism group and it was real nice again! Lovely people! Did good to cycle a bit as well and now I'm about to go for an evening walk. I'm really thankful for the adhd meds because they make a huge difference especially these days.
