...of being autistic.
Just finished a short online meeting, where I didn't have to do much except say one thing for AOB at the end. Thankfully meetings are rare in my job, just every couple of months. But by the end of this thing, I was so tense in my core that I had to lie on my bed for five minutes to relieve the intense pain. Never sure if the online ones are better or worse than in person. Maybe better. I don't have to repress a stim, it's out of frame!
When I saw the NAS website slogan, thought it read 'You are not a bone', and spent a few confused seconds wondering why the NAS were trying to reassure me about that. Or if it was an unusual way of reassuring me that I - and we - are much more than mere flesh and blood, more to them than mere case-studies.
That gave me the giggles! Thanks, I needed a laugh
