My parents have been away since last Thursday so I have had the place to myself. And what has quickly become apparent is that I am incapable of living on my own without serious help. (1/5)

Because other than being helpful in a pub quiz on film, music and American Football questions, I’m struggling to see it?

Sorry for rambling. I feel very alone right now and while the autistic community here has been wonderful and continues to be so, it’s no substitute for having someone physically here to talk to. To hug me and tell me not to worry too much or that they love me unconditionally, something Sheelagh was always so good at.

I’m going to bed. Apologies once again. (5/5)

Now I know there’s something “wrong” with me - I know autism is a difference and not necessarily a flaw, please don’t @ me - it reinforces the negative self esteem I’ve had since I was a child. Is this a problem for all late-DX autistics, that sudden realisation that you were never going to live the sort of life that others around were? And when do you feel the positive side of autism, which I keep hearing about? (4/5)
I know this is my ableism kicking my arse but I just want to be capable, you know? Since my autism diagnosis, I’m coming to realise that my worst fears are coming true - that I am not like everyone else, that I’m not able to “adult” and I will seemingly never have my shit together. I’ve always been envious of people who seem to go through life, coping with its trial and curveballs with relative ease and wonder why can’t I do that? (3/5)
I have eaten crap, frozen meals and takeaways every day and feel awful for it, especially as I find it impossible to tell if I’m actually hungry or not. The place is untidy and that’s also getting me down. I’ve done next to no writing or even watched anything other than snooker (which I love, so it’s not all bad) and podcasts. (2/5)
Haven’t done any writing for the last few days, just been listening to endless MH podcasts and eating junk. Feeling slightly ashamed of myself. 🫤

Another failed assassination attempt? I’m guessing he’s still worried about the midterms then. Or am I being too cynical? 😒
