The Drift

JT

So after a summer of working crazy hard to make up for a spell where I couldn't, I'm am yet again starting to feel myself drift.

I realise now that this drift away from NT mainstream happens repeatedly for me. Everytime I try again, to return to working regularly and making progress, I end up back in the drift. Questioning what's the point when I don't fit the mould, why do I need to socialise or see family when they don't seem to want to see me and don't seem interested in anything I am?

The Drift, towards the things I care about that make me feel whole, is, I feel, a calling away from the NT world of busy, loud, rhetorical, chaotic mess that has been designed badly for a neurotype that I have little interest in being anything like

Can anyone identify with this feelingof drifting away?

  • I really can. I never knew what it was fully until I read this

    Because I work in schools I get the drift in the school holidays, when I dont have to try and pretend to be normal every day and I can just indulge in my special interests and wear whatever i feel like and just be me with no expectations

    Thank you for explaining this. I especially like the bit about the things I care about that make me feel whole
