3 Good Things (again)

Deleted User

As it can take a looong time for faults to be remedied, I thought this could fill in for now?

1.  My Vabysmo eye injection this afternoon at the hospital.

2.  I wore my 'hidden disabilities' thingy around my neck.

3.  Home and having a curry tonight Blush

  • 1. For the very first time!!! Today I asked for less lights at the volunteer work without explaining, also said that I am gonna shine instead. Smile I tried not to be bothered what they will think of me, they know this about me anyway.

    2.  I adore that a lot of people are searching for sledges/sleds to slay on the snow. Such a cute object, I almost forgot about it!

    3. I decided to answer only the lighter questions here because I’m a beginner, I was diagnosed in November. I’ve been thinking about it for a few weeks now, and today I said to myself: I really hope we can all ask for help when we need it.

    I can really appreciate the amount of introspection that would take to come to a conclusion about that. However, you’re not a beginner! You’ve been Autistic your whole life, so you can always feel free to let people know what your experiences have been. Sometimes knowing someone has felt a similar way or have experienced similar things can be even more important than someone saying “the right thing.”

    Ah this is very very helpful!!! After my diagnosis in November, I started reaching out for help. To be honest, I’m shocked by how much suffering we carry, and it makes me really really sad. Sometimes it all feels overwhelming. I even find myself almost crying here when I read posts or letters about loneliness and sensory issues — those are my main struggles. I think this must be a phase of being late-diagnosed. Thank you so much for your kind words! I rethink now which is cool!  Also I wish for the ability and routine to focus on our strenghts!
