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

3. Home and having a curry tonight
1. Had a slow day today and didn’t feel guilty about it! Felt nice to know I have stuff to do but to trust that I’ll get it done another day
2. Been struggling with my anxiety and I’ve been talking to people about it more which is good because I am feeling supported
3. I’ve been thinking a lot about my identity and every day I feel like I find something new that represents how I feel inside !

This is really important for me. I don’t want to be intrusive, but can I ask what things represent how you feel inside? I’m thinking about my own answers too. I need time for this.
Hey! Yeah of course, I enjoy speaking to you Ma.ra. it started with remembering what I liked when I was a kid, so I LOVED purple when I was younger, it was the only colour I’d wear. Recently I’ve started reintroducing more purple back into my wardrobe and it makes me feel so like myself.
Also, I’ve been trying to consume different media so that I can find a character that I can relate to- before the only character I could ever relate to was SpongeBob (I know that’s a bit silly but it’s true!) but now I’ve been trying to look at other characters in shows, books and films and see if they have qualities that I have.
Pinterest has been really helpful. If I find an image that has a similar energy or vibe to me, I add it into a board. That way I have kind of like a collage of images/ colours/ patterns that I feel represent me! It’s super fun to work out why I feel attached to certain images!!
I’ve also been taking more note of things I actually enjoy doing, not what I feel like I should be doing. This is only the start of this journey, but I am really looking forward to getting to know myself more!
I’d love to hear more about your journey too!
the longer you sit with it it almost settles deeper within you
Hello _Poetchi ! Hope you are all good! I got calm reading your letter! Many thanks! Go with the purple!
Thanks so much for sharing this! I am getting such calming vibes when you are talking about being in the mountains, drinking tea and reading ️it seems so idilic !
That’s really cool you have characters you see yourself in too! And I think what you said about coming into your autism is so true, the longer you sit with it it almost settles deeper within you if that makes sense. Also, I’ve never seen Dune so I’ll definitely need to check this out as I love sci-fi!
Being an adult and connecting with your inner child can be really hard to do especially when we have jobs and houses etc… that’s why I’m starting small with purple, maybe getting myself a little treat every now and again to say I’ve done a good job!
this community has been really nice, I never thought other people shared the same experiences with me- I feel stronger knowing that there are others out there
