This is what I feel like and probably look like to others after spending ten minutes at a holiday party.

Good news: the triage appointment for my autism assessment came.

Bad news: they want me to confirm but haven't provided any information on how to do that.

It's almost like they don't want you to be able to confirm or get to the appointment...

@alexisbushnell @actuallyautistic is this… like… the first test???

Our local service wrote to me after referral, asking me to email an unbelievably long and unintuitive email address to confirm that I still wanted to be put on the waiting list, so I carefully typed the address, checked it eight times and hit ‘send’…

Not so much as a confirmation they’d received it. Eventually I emailed and asked did they get it, and they replied to say yes…

KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE, FOLKS!

@alexisbushnell @actuallyautistic I don’t know… where are you likely to find a concentration of people in varying states of crisis, who are likely to be derailed completely by an information vacuum??? Oh yes… the autism assessment waiting list. Let’s go make things even harder for them, why don’t we.

special interests are really about hierarchy of motivations…

I spend a lot of my time being pissed off at interruptions/intrusions/diversions to whatever I happen to be focussed on in that moment, however compelling or tedious it happens to be.

If, however (as just happened), someone asks me a question about stationery, or dog breeds, or the astronomical tides, or the philosophy of the Arts and Crafts movement, I’m going to drop literally ANYTHING else I’m doing to deal with that.

I literally CAN’T NOT.

The dodgiest example of this is when I’m driving, and I see someone walking an interesting dog… 8-|

And now I consciously understand how it works, I see that I intuitively have been working it against fellow monotropic neurodivergents my whole life - parents, siblings, colleagues and PhD supervisors - to derail their efforts to talk about things I don’t wanna talk about. 😳
