I just had my 2nd session since realising my autism, the 1st since 5 weeks with my partner with his family. So mainly a catch-up & info dump. Will clarify goals next time.

In the past therapy has been about me info dumping & them validating, helping me to clarify & a few strategies, but I struggled with clear goals.

I feel so much clearer now.

Previous therapy focussed on the impact of external traumas, the loss of loved ones, sexual assault, divorce etc, but ignored my internal pan that wasn’t explained by those traumas. I learned a lot that was useful, but so much was left unexplained. I was still in survival mode.

She reflects back & asks questions to confirm, clarify & express her understanding, & her very expressive face helps with that. I used to feel that I must look the therapist in the eye for the whole session, but I now allow myself to look out the window.

The waiting room is dim lights, soft music…

I used to feel that I had to work hard to convince the therapist, to get them on board with me, to understand, & maybe to like me so they’d be motivated to really work with me.

I think that having a somewhat better understanding of myself means I’m much clearer about boundaries, & that helps soooo much.

@Susan60 @actuallyautistic What a great therapist you have found. Good for you for continuing to look for someone to help you and see you. It’s not easy for most people but knowing how society has tried to force “norms” on everyone no matter what I’m sure made it much more difficult for you. I’m so happy for you.

“Why the pandemic isn't over for me”

About navigating in the pandemic when you have an underlying condition making you more vulnerable for the infection.

@GreySkies @tomkindlon @longcovid @covid19 @novid @auscovid19 @mecfs @chronicillness @spoonies @disability thank you. Couldn’t agree more especially from someone who “likely” is more vulnerable but isn’t everyone really with all the new onset dementia, heart issues, diabetes, strokes, etc.

@actuallyautistic

I'm so grateful for everyone here who suggested books on Autism by Devon Price PhD. They have helped me immensely. Thank you all.

The more I learn about Autism, the more I am learning about myself, and the more I am feeling comfortable with myself. It's a great feeling.

I wish I'd had better support for Autism much earlier in life. But I'm glad to be discovering it now.
