Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 1053 , Tuesday 15/09/2026
Tuesday started far earlier than it should have done with next door making a racket.
Downstairs & having breakfast around 07:15.
Something I had to eat yesterday decided to fight with my digestive system this morning. Nothing too serious but enough to put a dampener on the day.
Managed to do my basic chores but not much else.
I had a plain lunch & tea & this evening I seem to be over whatever ailed me this morning.
Final Thoughts.
I am struggling with motivation again,
Thank you to all those who are helping me on this journey, in a myriad different ways. I am thankful to each & every one of you! 🫂 🫶🐿️🖖

Interesting question for my fellow #neurodivergent writers.
If you had someone looking at your Bookreport (book sales data) what would you like them to help you with? What problems do you have in interpreting this data? What questions do you have?
I had an interesting conversation with someone today, and am curious.

I have an appointment with a social worker today to try and get help for my autistic burnout which is preventing me from getting a job, and I have no idea what to expect. And you know how much we don't like that. 😬
So does anyone have any advice or anecdotes to share?

A common experience with later identified Autistics who start figuring out all the sensory stuff that they've been shutting out, is that instead of things getting better, everything is more annoying.
There might be this idea of, “I thought this was supposed to feel better.” What I would like to say is: don’t worry, this is a part of the process. It’s the early part. 1/3

There has been absolutely no research I can find that explores if autists are more likely to be vegan or vegetarian than the general population. I find this extraordinary.
If you are autistic, (either clinically or self diagnosed) are you vegan?

My Wi-fi is paid. I'm waiting for an updated quote on a data transfer. I think the only thing I could use help with is buying some groceries for the next week.
My goal is $70.

"Is Autistic Writing being Mistaken for AI Generated?"
If this is true I should probably pack it up completely.

There are several holidays associated with fireworks, and while they can be pretty to watch, the loud and sudden sounds can be triggering for some people. And other people have difficulties with the bright lights, or other sensory issues, painful associations, or PTSD triggers. 1/2

Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 1052 , Monday 14/09/2026
Monday started early - as Mondays do.
Down the gym, took it a bit easier today because I had a few worrying twinges in my chest over the weekend, I think I may have pushed the envelope a bit too far last week.
Daily chores & breakfast when I got home.
I decided to pull up my big boys trousers around 10ish & called TWAM’s head office - where a very nice lady gave me lots of excuses & gave me the contact numbers of their local collectors.
While I was on a roll I called the first on the list who was not at home, but the 2nd attempt was far more successful & a meet was arranged for 11:30.
Leapt semi athletically into the car & got may ass across to my late MiLs.
Long story short tools are donated & another task is ticked off dealing with my MiL’s estate!
Got home & after lunch I tackled cleaning the washing machine as we had enough sunshine to provide the power for the cleaning cycle.
Finally relaxed around 2pm & hit the PS5.
Quiche & salad for tea with the last of the strawberries with a dollop of ice cream!
Final Thoughts.
Not a bad day at all, I hate using the phone & it takes a lot to place a call. Also not overly happy with dealing with strangers. But needs must & I am really pleased that I faced the dial tone demons & that my FiL’s tools will now have a 2nd lease of life!
Thank you to all those who are helping me on this journey, in a myriad different ways. I am thankful to each & every one of you! 🫂 🫶🐿️🖖

Against all expectations, we actually solved the Sphinx’s riddle.
Our reward? Being told to find an emerald, and I haven’t the faintest idea where to find one 🤷♀️

Allyship isn’t a feeling. It’s a practice.
For spouses, partners, parents, siblings, colleagues, friends, and allies who want to understand autistic adults - and support us without asking us to perform.

@autistics #ActuallyAutistic i imagine i am not the only one of us who has trouble turning their brain off like this…

Yesterday I returned from a week-long vacation in Poland, where it was great, but also depressing. It was depressing because I saw a lot of couples there, a lot of beautiful women, and it only made me feel lonelier.
Another reason was that Gdańsk, in particular, was a very beautiful city, and I’d love to move there. But unfortunately, in my current situation, that’s not possible, since I don’t have any money and I have social anxiety. It’s all so frustrating.

You deserve to have tools that work for your nervous system, during events like Grito de Dolores, going back to school, even the change in weather. And it is okay to get help with sensory overwhelm. And it is possible to make this part of your life better.

CW: Mid weight mental health stuff
Back at it.
🎶I get by with a little help from my friends🎶
Now if only I can get my brain to not do shit like that anymore.
I know my brain is being bullshit, but it's hard to just dismiss when it's got a hand on the need while picking out the album to spin.
I don't like that it takes several days , then an external source pointing out my brain is being bullshit, before I can override the problem the rejection sensitivity causes.But that requires therapy... although being autistic and growing up in the particular type of abusive household that I did probably made the problem a permanent scratch or a defect in the turntable, rather than just dust in the groove. 😮💨
All this kicked off because I couldn't just say "Hey remember I kind of developed lore depth around this [thing], can we have another conversation about it to work out how it'll function in your story?"
I won't bother y'all with the tactical MIRV of a narrative my brain was bombing me with. It's stupid and just makes me angry I could not switch it off.Yeah he forgot, but in absolute fairness the last conversation was back it like March or April. And also it's not reasonable for my brain to operate as if everyone else has the same obsessive-tick when it comes to keeping track of lore and making sure 1+1 equals 2 +or- 5%
Now to write an apology before I fall asleep#MentalHealth #WriterProblems #AutisticProblems #ActuallyAutistic
