  1. Small steps! But steps nonetheless. I recognised that people were not for me today & was able to communicate clearly with SO. I was able to convey that I wanted to do the cooking by myself (wanted SO out of the way) & needed some peace & quiet tonight. In turn SO appreciated the good communication & was happy as he wanted to do things without me tonight, too. A few years ago we probably both would have had a hard time to voice how we really felt and what we wanted. #Unmasking #ActuallyAutistic

  5. Small steps, small wins! 💪 I left a very challenging 1 hour thing at work (loose social gathering, very packed with lots of people and loud) after 30 mins, announcing that I am getting overstimulated. Really proud to normalize this tactic for myself and colleagues and communicate my needs. Made me proud of myself! #ActuallyAutistic #ActuallyAutisticAtWork

  14. #AskingAutistics any of us actually like the physical act of kissing (with tongue involvement)? I rarely am in the mood for it and mostly don't really care for it. A peck on the forehead on the other hand... #ActuallyAutistic

  16. Since "Fuck." Was done, I was feeling the post-project emptiness. I used the momentum to make a thin fleece lining for the mittens I've knitted a few years back & that were not great in our windy weather. I had no idea how this is typically done, I just went on vibes. Cut out the main pieces by tracing the mitten, sew around the edges, same for the thumbs, then cutting a slit and whip-stitching the thumbs on. Then I whip-stitched the lining into the mitten et voila!

  18. The poncho made from a blanket is done!! I am super pleased with how it turned out! I paid special attention to comfort, so there are no pokey overlocked edges on the inside aside from a small center seam in the hood. Center front & back are french seams & I hand stitched a band over the neck seam! Just a few small pieces of fabric are left over, so it's almost a no waste pattern!

  20. I've mended some jeans! They've been lying around forever and now that I had uncovered my sewing machine from another paint by numbers to repurpose parts of a threadbare sheet, I finally got down to these! I also reattached a button that's been missing on a blouse and rendered it unwearable! Yay to me! 😁 #mending #mendingClothes

  22. Bit anxious sleep with weird dreams. The upsetting Friday still needs to be sorted out and need to talk to my manager. Feeling a on edge. 😬 #ActuallyAutisticAtWork

  23. Started off early today due to a breakfast meeting and feeling a bit tired now.. today is packed with meetings and social stuff and a training 🙈 all the while I still need to find time to gain an overview over all my support requests and sort out what and how I can support stuff. 😬😬😬 Wish me luck and social energy!

  24. Small personal win at work: some pretty urgent data analysis is taking me longer due to a bit worse signal demanding more manual work. Instead of stressing and working longer today I have just explained it, given the heads-up and will deliver data tomorrow instead. It was fine, no one was upset. It's all not THAT important.
    Yay! I need to practice this and am happy over the positive experience!

  25. I've been filmed, it's done. (short promo clip for our ND group at work) Yesterday and this morning I was talking to myself in preparation and today it went really well. Only one re-take due to some external noise. Phew! Now I am a bit tired and relieved.
