Aspie Women (and guest visitors)

This is obviously a conversation that isn't worn out. Personally I'm quite convinced that menopause is what has tipped me over the edge and made my thinking and behaviour recognisably autistic and ADHD-istic.

It's still a hammer blow but it feels like there's a chance of being kinder to myself in the future. Maybe we are the research...

Hey you! I think the Aspie traits have always been there but the hormone ouch has meant that our usual coping and masking strategies can’t cope so well with it x well put Spotty xx be kind to yourself xx 

I agree that the traits have always been there but they were so well masked that they weren't visible to me.  The last few months have been like peeling an onion always finding another layer of complexity and I still find it quite mind blowing that I never realised all of these obvious things about myself.

Hi Misfit, I thought it was my phone/computer playing up yesterday as I just kept getting error messages, from your comment and the lack of activity I guess the forum was down.  Glad you made it through the weekend and hope you are feeling a little better. x

It would indeed identify me Missy, well sleuthed. I would hate to shove my work in peoples faces on here but I also find it hard to get an image on here.  I managed a few but the joy of Instagram is take photo with phone and post it, idiot proof.

At the point where I have to upload it to a computer and resize it I'm off pretty much.

Hope your day was ok today and everyone else. () () () ()

I do like Spotty’s art so any platform that she feels is safe would be nice if she feels comfortable with it? 

Wouldn't that identify Spotty? Maybe Spotty you would let us see more of your work on here? Not too late re expo but understand. One day will try this out on my laptop to see what you've been telling me! 

good night lovely xx eat well and rest 

You have grounded yourself well.. but you are getting out of your shell, little by little, I hope xx

can you share your instragram link? Xx

I didn't as I'm suffering from too much input but I pronably should have...

I find it much easier to see what is where on my laptop or PC but you seem to manage pretty well.

On that positive note time for me to get some rest so hope to catch up with you all tomorrow. ()()()

A good thought, just me and pc's and filing and ever finding anything again are not compatible. That probably wouldn't apply to your idea if I understood it!

Enjoy the happy moments when you can.

I think that goes for all of us xxxx
