My work day generally starts the same way, everyday!
I find it difficult to get up in the morning, my motivation is my tea and then I just wait for it to brew and steep. and by the time its ready, I am running late for work.
By noon, I’ve opened fifteen tabs, started three important tasks, eaten something random because I can’t eat the same thing again, and silently run through about twenty scenarios in my head where I disappoint someone at work.
From the outside, it probably looks… fine. I show up. I reply to emails. I get things done (eventually). I’m “functioning”.
Inside my head, it’s a very different story.
Welcome to the page of late-diagnosed autistic person who is not enough or not doing enough and is always too much for everyone.
This page is not
- Not as a productivity blog.
- Not as a “10 tips to fix yourself” guide.
More as a series of field notes from inside an autistic brain trying to survive (and maybe even thrive) in a very neurotypical-flavoured environment.
