I just finished reading Margaret Dabble's novel The Millstone and I am going to contend that the lead character, Rosamund, appears autistic.

Autistic Coach We turn a simple physical fact into a matter of personal failure, like sensory needs or focus or executive functioning, and then criticize ourselves for not doing what we can't do. That criticism uses up so much energy.
Those moments when you spent basically all night last night at a concert in your wheelchair and sublaxted both your knees and your left hip. Also was incredibly overwhelmed by the end of it, so I'm mute for the day and trying to relax so I can recover.....the catch is I apparently have a dentist appointment today. Sigh...how's this gonna work? It's gonna hurt to talk and drain me even more than what I am now. Adulting is hard
In an effort to combat my severe #AutisticBurnout, I'm trying to return to my old hobbies, and so I'm ripping now my #CD collection to be able to listen on the go. Thanks @schenklklopfer 
It wouldn't be possible without the computer I got from you.
I think I sent a message to the wrong person because of autistic prosopagnosia (face blindness). Fuck it's anxiety inducing.

Honor your capacity. You’re not going to get out of it what you want if you’re trying to push so hard that you’re hurting yourself in the process.
I’m now convinced that cognitive dissonance is a significant contributing factor in autistic burnout, which is a big part of why masking is so bad for us.
You can be looking like you’re doing a lot of things but getting actually very little useful stuff done.
You can also look like you’re not doing much, you’re just sort of sitting there, but you’re processing a lot internally or you’re resting, which is a productive thing to do.
Last reminder that the early bird sign up bonus for Anxiety Reduction for Autistics expires at midnight tonight (CDT).
Over four weeks, I'll be sharing how to get out of the vicious thought spirals of anxiety, as well as calming techniques for physical anxiety, for Autistics/AuDHDers.

There’s no way back, but there is a way forward.
Continued thread
Issue of warrant of possession proceedings paperwork emailed to me yesterday.
Far too exhausted to have noticed.
This world is far too cruel, cold & uncaring. It is not a world that was made for people like me.
I keep trying to make change, but can not do it alone.
Department of Housing lied to me again. Claim referral was made to NPO.
NPO has no record and they don’t accept refs from them anyway.
Autistic burnout recovery is, in its essence, about aligning our internal and our external realities.
An autist with cerebral palsy, Victor Perez was killed in the US by 9 shots by multiple cops 12 seconds after they arrived, having been called by a stranger to de-escalate a situation between him and his parents.

Sometimes I wonder if I should just "pull myself together" and then at other times I think that in some in some idealized future people like me will be diagnosed early and allowed enough sleep and given opportunities to help society with their weird ideas.

Being uncomfortable and fighting that discomfort actively draws energy away from fully relaxing.
It’s not enough to get some energy back so that you can continue the cognitive and physical dissonance for longer.
Having some time off I realise just how much sleep I really need. It turns out it's about 10-12 hours a day.

I repotted two plants today, which if you understand autistic burnout you'll know how many spoons that takes. The monstera is new but came in a too small pot.
