Does anyone else who’s @actuallyautistic get weirdly agitated on work holidays because their routine is thrown off? I’m here with basically an extra Saturday stuck in the middle of my work week, and I don’t have any plans so I don’t know what to do with myself this morning while everyone else is sleeping in.

So I'm wondering - what's your (group your) experience with grief?
My mother died. For long and complex reasons, we hadn't spoken for years. People kept telling me the grief would kick in, but it hasn't. I was angry for a little while, but that went away. No grief, no crying. I was sad for a little while about who she might have been, for herself and for her kids, but she wasn't, and now that's gone, too.

If you’re a person who struggles with food textures and things (i.e. “a picky eater”) like me, I can vouch for the frozen curry entrees from Wegmans.

We usually get Charlie’s Chicken Curry or the Butter Chicken ones. They’re basically chicken, rice, and curry sauce. No chunky veggies or anything. Very simple, very tasty when you don’t have energy/means to cook.

Just a tip in case it’s helpful for someone out there :)

I read the term “computer-aided socialization” yesterday, and I haven’t stopped thinking about it since.

Perfectly describes what I’ve done intuitively since I was old enough to find my way into a chatroom.

Planners, lists, and tools for #AuDHD 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.

Idea: one of these but made for Autistic adult couples, where one side says “Tonight” and the other side says “Not Tonight” 😏

New blog post! It’s a true silly story of love, neurodivergence, and maybe breaking into a house.
