This narrative that #autistic people are socially avoidant, shy, withdrawn, antisocial, or whatnot, and therefore there’s something inherently wrong with us, is not true.

Autistics are not socially avoidant. People avoid discomfort. And people particularly avoid communication gaps.

Regardless if the person at the mini donuts stand wanted to cheat us out of 1 donut or not, they were initially unaware that both I, a data person, (undiagnosed, but something ain’t right), and my nephew (diagnosed #autistic) are very big on numbers and their promised correctness.

14 mini donuts != 15 mini donuts, and we told them so

I’m sure all CAPS will definitely help me to get up 😂 1 of 300 alarms 😬

Tomorrow I'll be attending a little town event focused on video game development.
I'd like to hopefully make friends but I really struggle to socialize, being very shy, deadpan and awkward at chatting, so I thought that if I could signal I am autistic, at the very least I could try avoiding coming across the wrong way.

I was a bit frustrated that I don't own a button pin or a keycharm, so I decided to take matters into my own hands and made a pin of sorts myself!

It is very rudimentary, made with thick paper, cardboard and tape. The photo shows a paper clip (meant to help it hold onto my lanyard) but I remembered I DO own safety pins, so it's been changed now lol. I'm pretty happy with how it came out, though maybe too subtle..? Oh well

Good news, my safe foods I’d been reacting to these last few weeks has gone back to lower reaction. It’s my last lot of antibiotics tomorrow, so looks like being ill made everything worse, which makes sense.

When I went to the drs last week, they were surprised I didn’t know I had strep throat. I said I’m just used to feeling really ill and being told it’s fibromyalgia, or just something I have to deal with, I hadn’t even gone about my sore throat snd earache 😂 This was a sympathetic locum, who said it shouldn’t be like this.

I’ve avoided plenty of social situations in my life, but I’ve never actually followed through with my fantasy of becoming a hermit in the woods. 1/3

Today my brain went something like: Ghhaaaaaarrggggghhhhh! ... 💡!
I think a penny got stuck a long while back & finally worked itself loose & dropped.

I started looking into & bullet journalling several years ago after my brief encounter with mental health services & the woman running the 6 session group therapy suggested it.

Thanks to Pinterest I quick fell in love with the idea, though possibly for the wrong reasons as I have never been able to wrap my head round trying to recreate or at least achieve something that functions how I want & somehow with zero extra time & effort achieving such decorative masterpieces.

The first 2 - 3 years it sort of worked but the effort of hand drawing every page & the time it consumed seemed to be eating at me & in the last 2 - 3 years it began to percolate through to me that it might be part of why I lack the spoons, time & energy to do anything.

In the last few years I kept falling behind & would spend the early months of the new year finishing my entries for last year transferring them from note app to physical bullet journal.

This year, I got last year's up to date but this year's feels like a non-starter. January & February are drawn up & ready to fill in but I'm just not feeling it.

I guess today is the day I say, nope to adding something potentially useful but ultimately getting in the way of trying to improve my life.
So, no more bullet journalling this year, though I might, when the mood takes me & I can actually spare the spoons look at what things I'd actually find useful to track & maybe track them separately in the future unless I find the ideal solution to my bullet journalling woes.
