Hello

Aprilia

Hello everyone. My name is April and I'm autistic. I was diagnosed when I was 10 which wasn't that long ago but somehow it feels like it's been 50 years lol. I'm 21 now and my life feels so crazy it's hard to function at times! I'm working on self care as my anxiety can be overwhelming and I mask so much I'm trying not to do that either. I work just about lol but in my free time I enjoy being creative and watching fun films.

I'm autistic, a little eccentric and quirky; and hopefully always nice.

:)

    Sounds like a nice day! I'm home all day today, so hoping to relax and have a slow but peaceful day.

    So true. When things get overwhelming I try not to do too much and try to do small things I enjoy and that helps me to ground and lessen the anxiety. It doesn't always work but it helps most of the time.

    I hope you have a nice day today.

    I’m having a good afternoon thank you. I’m at home all day and catching up on the ‘paperwork’ and online futtery tasks that often get pushed to one side when I’m busy with other things. 

    I relate to the feeling of anxiety becoming overwhelming—It can be a fine balancing act trying to do things, yet attending to self care. I’m not crafty but I think its great that you are able to make all those things.
