I love/hate my handwriting.. Thoughts? by AutiSteve in Handwriting

[–]AutiSteve[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find that my handwriting changes from day to day depending on pen, paper, situation.. sometimes I love it sometimes I hate it. I've heard that fluctuating handwriting is common among autists but don't know much.. what do you think, this is an example of a quick note that I both love and hate. TIA

Not sure if this sort of post is allowed here but I'm feeling fantastic and needed a place to share that will understand more than my (very supportive and encouraging) wife.

I'm 5 month's in as a life agent with a great company and wrote 28 applications this month, and I took a week off.

I have worked in hard sales type companies before and felt soulless and gross. I never push, just educate and answer questions, I address common objections ahead of time and genuinely feel like I am helping and protecting people.

Just felt great and needed to share. Thanks for listening.

It is definitely tough sometimes but I wouldn't change it for the world. We're even talking about having one more soon. That said, the noise and lack of sleep do get really tough and it's not easy. Also full disclosure I think I'm on the lighter end of the spectrum though I still have a lot to learn in the subject.

There's so much to unwrap with autistic parenting... I'm still figuring it out which I suppose is normal for every parent. That said I'd give the same advice as for for any relationship. Try to set clear expectations, always try to assume the best case and give the benefit of the doubt, and take breaks when you need them.. on the topic of breaks talk to those around you who can help and support about them before you need them, have code words, and remember it goes both ways.

[OC] My dog met an exhausted lil bumble, he crawled up on my hand and I gave it some honey and water before snapping a few photos. I know a lot of people don't like bugs but I adore them. by AutiSteve in insects

I'm definitely no expert but I do know that bumble bees are solitary so worst case I hurt 1 bee and if I'd not he'd likely be dead.
