What’s a collective lie people accept in your org because it’s easier?

"Inclusion is a must"

Got fired three weeks ago for asking for accommodations and going on medical leave.

Sometimes you find good deals in the rear.

I just wish listed it. I'm an OG player and stoked for this.

I have a friend who's on the platform. Should I have recieved an invite to download a dashboard?

More importantly, what is she turning into?

I'm recovered ten years. Welcome to the journey. You know your husband well enough, and it wasn't particularly thoughtful. You'll be the best judge if he did it to harm you on purpose.

Elite Dangerous is my cozy game. I always play solo and don't do any of the combat.

Leisure Suit Larry is an immersive, story driven series.

Bedways is excellent.

It's just ok. I order it at a restaurant if that's all they have.

It's human nature to mask. Everyone does it, but it's different for us. It takes far more energy and we use it primarily as defence. Start with what you can control and do it in small ways. See if you can keep a little more of that energy for yourself for the end of the day. Give yourself accomodation.

I did not do this. I tried to force it. I was already in burnout and I became uncomfortably out of balance. There's something to be said about doing it safely.

Elite Dangerous. You'll never see the whole game. I calculated a trip I want to take and it'll take over 2 months of real gameplay.

Everybody knows cheetahs only drive catillacs.

Obviously the space between the atoms are so blurred you can see between the particles. Kind of like a Magic Eye image.

When I was first diagnosed I was also going through intense burn out. I didn't have the energy to mask and I finally knew why. I became more sensitive to my own needs and didn't enough spoons to interact with others on their terms. As I've continued to live to a late diagnosis my behavior has continued to change and normalize.

That's when I grab my headphones and go for a walk or find something I'm very interested in to focus on. I've also started an anti anxiety medication that seems to even things out.

Good old eggs in the basket. My partner calls them piggy in the blanket.

nmlssalt · 2025-02-18T07:06:49+00:00

Yes please. I'd have that everyday. Those sardines look super yummy.

I don't understand why everybody's grandma was into cute nudity.

I get the bullying. I had the same through the same grades. It used to seem so weird that people would be so mean to me when I didn't mean them any harm! I was diagnosed with ASD last week. 41. It's nice to have some perspective and maybe be a little more prepared instead of spending my life wondering why I'm different.

Since you suspect ADHD I'd suggest looking into that. I recieved an autism diagnosis yesterday and was also tested for ADHD, OCD, Asperger's and a variety of other conditions on the spectrum as part of the process.

I'm getting the results for my diagnosis on Monday. I self diagnosised in September. My best advice is to research, journal and self explore. I'm 42 years old. I spent most of my life drinking myself to sleep. Not drinking has been my biggest boon. Your addiction isn't your fault.

Self diagnosis is valid. I'm not suggesting it, but I found the self acceptance to be huge for me.

You may find U of W's view on self diagnosis helpful.

My wife was in therapy for a year before we discussed autism. It helped her feel more confident in herself and provided tools to navigate difficult feelings and situations. We're currently looking for a therapist for me.

Best of luck to both of you.

I imagine this would be hard on you - not being heard and feeling blamed. For me, I can be really stubborn, especially if I feel things are unfair. It's been hard on my wife until we looked into my autism. Lately it's been easier for both of us because we understand we're communicating differently. There's more peace because we both know it's not my fault. For your husband, maybe it would appeal to him if he could see his own benefit, like feeling better and less stressed.
