@actuallyautistic My coach was suggesting blue light glasses to help reduce overwhelm in supermarkets. Do people find they help? Does something else help more?

@twt @actuallyautistic Supermarkets make me want to hyperventilate. I appreciate it when they stop the music and turn down the lighting, but this is so inconsistent it might be worth giving filter lenses a shot. I tend to go out with active noise cancelling headphones on as well. The cacophony of sound hits me harder than the visual overwhelm. 😅

Planners, lists, and tools for humans may actually make our anxiety worse when we don't follow thru.

They can also be life changing.

Everyone is different.

In either case, one FIRST needs to give themselves grace and accept and appreciate the fact that we don't need to and cannot do everything, all the time.

@theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic My reminders app keeps me right. If it’s not in there, it doesn’t exist and won’t get done. 😅 More than three things a day is not allowed! 😂

How did my comrades come to know that they’re autistic?

I put in my profile recently. Lightly touching the spectrum and very definitely , but self diagnosed because I can’t get assessed here (Fife, Scotland). Mental health services are stretched and people like me are subject to a post code lottery meaning services vary widely by region and my region is very limited. What services they provide have to go to people with way more difficulties than me. I would have to pay a significant fee to be tested and there’s no money to spare for that.

I started looking into it about a year ago and joining the fediverse, seeing what other people were posting about and doing some tests recommended by others which showed up my tendencies as not being neurotypical.

Have dyscalculia, misophonia, probably dysgraphia, sensory issues with certain textures (the feeling of foam rubber or sweeping brush bristles on concrete can make me curl up and wail hysterically 😂) Sound and smell, taste sensitivities as well. All of this was completely missed in my school years - ‘78-‘89.

At school, according to educators, I was a lazy dreamer. I exhibit most of the classic ADHD tendencies.

I’ve wrestled with saying these things out loud, because who gets diagnosed or just discovers/realises this in their 50s!? Looks around 👀 OH! Plenty of us it seems.

There are, sadly, plenty of doubters around, but they’re not worth listening to. I’m dropping that kind of negativity like a hot stone these days.
