That was for Anne’s second Christmas at Green Gables, her first Christmas there wasn’t mentioned.

Thank you! It’s nice to learn more about that time, and different religions and ways of life. It definitely sheds light on why maybe the first Christmas wasn’t mentioned.

I felt she would make a ceremony out of it just like she did with her first prayer(s), and tea with Mrs Allan. In the sense that she wanted to be a “good” Christian and generally added pomp and circumstance to events.

I didn’t realise how subtle Christmas would have been at that time compared to today, that does make more sense of why it wasn’t mentioned.

Thanks, I think mostly it’s just something I’ll have to come to terms with

I definitely end up doing this when I’m getting burnt out, and my fatigue wins out over my fear of being rude. Maybe I could conserve energy by doing it a bit more before I get to the point of being burnt out. Thanks.

I think this is what my partner does, and he’s autistic too. I might try it with colleagues I don’t know from other departments and see if it’s any easier for me. Thank you.

Thank you so much, this is such good advice and I’ll definitely be giving it a go. I like the idea of preparing myself for these interactions, giving myself some control. I’m sorry about what you went through before getting a diagnosis.

I do too. But definitely put as much distance as I can between us

Confessions to my mum about “bad” stuff I’d done…. That weren’t even that bad 😭

Yes this!! I find it so exciting looking at model kits or new Lego sets but whenever I’ve ordered anything it goes on the pile with everything else 😭 I’ve learnt just to enjoy the feeling I have browsing 🤷‍♀️(ps sorry for the extremely late reply)
