So. Many. Things. part II - Barefoot Rambling, or The Adventures of a Midlife Autistic

One of the many benefits of having a therapist who not only gets you but is in the same boat as a later-life autistic is that I learn SO MUCH...

I really enjoyed reading this. I keep learning more and more about my blend of #AUDHD

In some ways it's validating and enlightening. In other ways I'm still left with "okay but HOW DO I DO LIFE???"

I just wish the understanding of being #ActuallyAutistic and #ActuallyADHD *ALSO* came with a "SO NOW WHAT" manual 🙃

I know I’m not alone, though. And it always makes me feel "seen" when I hear other people sharing their explorations.

@EmilyMoranBarwick @barefootrambling @actuallyautistic @actuallyadhd I'm right there with you on wishing there was a "so now what?" manual.

Right?!

I'm 48 FFS, how am I supposed to take all this in and move forward after masking for THAT MANY YEARS?!

Sigh.

Deep breath...deeeeep breath...

I'd been hoping therapy would provide at least the outline for that elusive So What Now Manual™️ , but now that I'm losing my COBRA insurance and am back on state assisted coverage, I'm out of luck there.

Oh, and thanks for reading! I promise to be better about updating BFR now that I remembered it exists...😉
