Looks cool. Sort of a mixed media. Are the match stick part wooden? They look like some sort of paper. How much of the black is from actually burning?

Thanks. I thought about that, was not sure which way to go, I just posted to see what happens.

Thanks for the feedback.

Why? I used to not title and sign, but I've started to so I can be a little more organized, and I'm adding the date, usually. It's also a reminder that it's done.

Do you use a marker or ink pen to draw the black lines first, then add watercolors?

I have experienced the fatigue toward the end of the day. After a full day of work, I would be depleated. Before figuring out I'm autistic, my wife would call me before I left work to come home, and ask me to stop at the store for something she needed. I was always resistant to make that stop, and now I understand why.

No, she not neurotypical. I'm not fully sure what her story is, but she's mentioned being atypical, divergent, and having anxiety issues. It's pretty good having a counselor that is divergent. My previous counselor wasn't, but his wife worked with autistic kids in the high school, so he must have some knowledge, but it felt like there was a slight miss on the specific autistic perspective. I'm not sure if someone that isn't atypical would have the perspective I'm looking for in counseling. It probably depends on the counselor, and I don't know how you would determine that without going to the counselor.

I am older, and don't think I need any accommodations or help, so I didn't think a full evaluation would be of any value. I took some online tests, and chatted with other autistic people, and determined I'm autistic. I'm seeing a counselor figuring out what is in me due to being autistic, and what am I masking. Focusing on discovering and understanding. This path has revealed things in relationship with my wife, we have a better understanding of our differences.

I had my first appointment with an autism (aware) counselor. I was very nervous/anxious, but it went very well. I only recently realized that I'm autistic, and this was a big step, and I think seems helpful.

Usually face up. If I'm somewhere I'm concerned about something getting into the screen (like on the table at a restaurant), then face down.
