Musings from a woman on the Autism Spectrum.
How connected are you to your sense of self? Is it a constant companian or an elusive identity?
If you didn’t see and understand your reputation, how would your sense of self be impacted?
What tools are in your toolbelt for times of losing your sense of self?
This is a talk I wrote in one of my good weeks while experiencing Autistic Burn Out. Using this method as a baseline has helped me on my recovery journey.
Seeing the images of my old house messy and tidy was a good visual reminder of what my current messy bedroom could look like. How I may feel once its cleaned.
It’s nice not to be burnt out!
Writing for this many months has been gratifying. Mainly because I’ve learned not to burn myself out. Going slow and steady seems to be serving me well.
At times I had to deal with feeling that my doctors weren’t taking my writing efforts and issues seriously.
I’ve been frustrated over the years by the simplistic information the various GP’s have asked about and recorded.
With practicing comes being willing to fail. For me the two go together like smoked salmon and avocado.
