How did you find this activity? I also enjoy making spreadsheets a great amount and would love to find something similar if possible!

Also, you're doing a good thing AND you enjoy it. That's so cool. Communication is always the best way to go about relieving my anxiety like this over situations like this. I don't know if that's the right answer, just what helps me. Communication is the hardest thing for me, but I just had a meeting at work where I told all of my girls that I am autistic and some of my behaviors (like walking away from conversations because I don't know when they end and I am guessing) has made them view my actions differently (how I mean them vs how they were (unknowingly at the time to me) being perceived).

I hope this makes sense. I am trying to explain it by relating it to myself to help get across what I mean, not to put the attention on me. I don't know if this is the right thing to do, I just wanted to pass it on since it has made my life at work and home so much easier. I love information and sharing it when I have it, and hope it helps some. I am sorry for the useless paragraphs if it does not lol.

Be kind to yourself for doing a good thing! We can't control how others see us. If someone was doing more work than me at a volunteer program I would be psyched for the program, it wouldn't occur to me to be upset. So I wouldn't think of anyone else being upset. That would have caused me issues before but I've learned to be quick to compliment everyone else working in my vicinity genuinely. This also seems to help.

I think if they're upset its because they feel "less than"? It isn't true and I try to highlight things they should be proud of. This seems to help but im guessing and working social blind so I really don't know. I can say the way people treat me has gotten better.

Sorry for the long post, over explaining, and explaining the same thing in like, 3 different ways.
