Feeling flat.

I've done all my stuff with my kids for the weekend. My Monday support group is cancelled because of the #BankHoliday, and my Tuesday #OpenMic at #BristolOldDuke, I'm feeling discouraged, uninspired, and have nothing to work on, so probably just won't go.

Watching #MatildaDeAngelis in Lidia Poët, it took me a while to realise she was in Citadel.

I'm #PossiblyAutistic and #ProbablyADHD but only just discovering this and putting things together at the ripe age of 53.

Does anyone experience face blindness?

It's not that I don't recognise people that I know well, but everyone else seems to just be a "type".

Or sometimes I can even look at someone I know well, really look at them closely, and I feel like I don't know them.

A win this week was challenging an audit result for a trainee and having my challenge upheld. But the bigger win was a self discovery.
In sorting it all out I got very shouty and shaky when discussing it with my team. It was so unfair and made no sense.
Now I often get shouty and shaky in situations like this. But this week my brain pipes up “perhaps this is what overwhelm feels like for you”
Worth me thinking about I feel.

So I know there is the ActuallyAutistic tag, is there a #PossiblyAutistic one for those with no formal diagnosis or who are just starting down the diagnosis path?

Sorry for not being around much lately. I just explained some of the reasons why I wasn’t active on Mastodon in a new blog post, if you’re interested—it gets quite a bit more personal than my posts usually are:

#PossiblyAutistic

Andere Menschen wollen gerne den ganzen Abend reden, aber ich bin nach einer Stunde schon am Limit 😵 Ich fühle mich oft schlecht, weil ich so wenig leistungsfähig bin, aber hier sind zwei Bilder, die mir zuletzt geholfen haben, die Perspektive zu wechseln und mein Selbstwertgefühl etwas zu stärken #hochsensibel #possiblyautistic

1. Bin ich zu wenig leistungsfähig oder vielleicht auch einfach aufmerksamer?

Ich habe dabei ein Logistikzentrum vor Augen. Pro Minute Unterhaltung ...

@iamwahl feel bad not having the best situ to share...also keep wondering if I've extended too much trust to my buddy Olivier & he's giving me the run around to let pressure build up & take advantage? #socialanxiety #possiblyAutistic #listeningclub
Do folks do #introduction posts here? Here’s mine:

I’m a
#Neurodivergent #PossiblyAutistic web developer specializing in user interfaces and front end tech. #Husband, 3x #DogDad, #guitar player, recovering #Artist, and occasional #GrownUp.

I’ve been known to hoard
#fonts. I collect modest #watches. I miss my #friends and #SummerBreak. I thrive on #HeavyMetal, especially the #Scandinavian stuff. 🤘

I strive to fill my digital life with
#FLOSS / #OpenSource software. I’m a recent #Neovim convert from #VSCodium and hardly miss it. My battery sure as 🔥 doesn’t.

I think #AlexeiSayle said many good improvisational #comedians have about an hour or two of material that they can riff on, but #RobinWilliams had about 4 hours before he would start repeating himself.

I feel like I'm the same socially. I have a few things I can talk about, and then I start repeating myself:

* a story about my first boss buying a computer in 1973

* #race doesn't exist but #racists do

* any online course I'm studying

Also, I'm not funny.
