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

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

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!

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!

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.

I did ask for more information & details and explained that vagueness & on the fly improvisation causes me distress and anxiety. Still, it gave me so much anxiety already 🙃 2/2

Killing it at work today btw!!
I was running a protocol I have not in this form done before (though similar protocols 6-7 years ago) for the first time, which is always a bit stressful I find. It takes ages to find everything I need & it's not so fluent.
Anyhow it totally worked & I got lots of RNA out for my downstream experiments! Yay! Nice win to end the week! -
I don't think it was full on Sunday-to-Monday scaries, but I slept quite poorly... Took a while to fall asleep & woke frequently :-( also still battling with a persisting cough from when I was sick a few weeks back.. it comes up every now and then when I am active with my body. I have a week full of experiments coming up which is starting with some delightfully repetitive machine loading today (assembling 3 consumables per sample; 60 samples) at least!

After an intense weekend with long traveling hours and friends and virtually now down time I can really feel the exhaustion this week.
I am super proud though to just have declined an invitation to lunch (no relevance to my work I believe, the invitation was just for "fun") from a company rep at work! Yay, go me!#ActuallyAutistic #ActuallyAutisticAtWork #ActuallyAutisticStruggles

CW: Work update (positive!)
Had my meeting with my manager. Feels like she really took what I said today & in previous meeting seriously & said it got way more complex that anticipated & we'll lead this together, she'll drive more & takes main responsibility. She was also very calm about potential problems coming up which made a huge difference for me. Knowing that that's ok if it happens means I don't have to be so anxious about it either. I had a little relief cry. #ActuallyAutisticAtWork

CW: Sunday to Monday scaries, work, anxiety
Not knowing for sure that it'll be all ok just absolutely messes me up as an #ActuallyAutistic person. It preoccupies my brain, it's hard to shake when I'm not at work & it's a constant source of anxiety. Of course my tolerance for unresolved things is also lowered when I don't sleep well... ☹️
