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.

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 was just imagining in a near dream state 'bed tents', a fabric cover held up by poles curved over the bed so you are more private and less perceived in bed.

I just ate this for dinner, and I know chicken nuggets are a big fav in the autistic community. The vegan versions are now *fucking delicious*. I can only recommend.

I find sounds often physically painful. I was just resting with my eyes shut after eating lunch and I got a text message, the sound of it shocked me and basically hurt. This morning I woke with a start thinking someone was walking into my bedroom (no one was) and the feeling was like being electrocuted.

So I got up, dropped my daughter off, worked all day, stressing if my son was ever going to get up and leave, had an exhausting day at work, came home and it's 37°C opened some doors to let the heat out and now some bastard neighbour is having a very loud party.

Just recognizing that what’s going on for you is burnout is huge.

You’re not struggling because of some personal failing, you’re not broken, and you’re not incompetent at being a human.

Policy idea for a left wing party.

They have whatever response they have to any announcement or policies from the right wing opposition, but then they also release a statement from their "disabled" policy unit who are very clever autistic people who use evidence to just burn holes in the bullshit that these bastards say which provides so much ammunition for comedians and newspapers.

The #NDIS in Australia has suddenly said it will no longer fund art and music therapy despite these having been provided by degree qualified practitioners to participants for years.
