I know that I need to reset the very confused and mixed messages I've had my whole life.
They have always included both being lazy and at the same time being a workaholic - I've always been confused by these.
For example today starts with me feeling I'm lazy because after a poor sleep until about 4am I didn't start getting up until after 10.30am, started work after 11am.
However, I've then worked until 11.30pm with 1 break (about an hour) which makes me feel a workaholic.

It's really hard, as an Autistic person, to try being friendly to strangers in a shared space - like a dog park - and get nothing in return.
It's harder still not to feel like it's because there's something wrong with us.
Because I'm a sucker for a certain kind of marketing.
And a regular user of ear plugs.

Thank you to the #ADHD, #Dyslexic and #VisionImpaired people here on mastadon who asked for audiobooks of my writings. The more people tell me their access needs, the better position I am in to encourage/ convince my publishers to make my work #Accessible.
Delighted my latest publisher agreed to make an #Audiobook of Wired Our Own Way; An Anthology of #Autistic Irish voices, which will be released tomorrow. Not sure all the platforms it will be on yet.

I was about to lose all trust in myself, so I had to search up about this issue.

A volte decidere se mangiare pasta o riso può sembrare più difficile che scegliere il destino dell’umanità.
E no, non è pigrizia: è il cervello che si inceppa.
Nel mio nuovo articolo parlo di paralisi da decisione, quel momento in cui resti bloccato tra mille strade, come Alice davanti a un cartello che dice tutto e niente.
Un articolo pensato per adolescenti, neurodivergenti, o chiunque si sia mai perso davanti a uno scaffale di yogurt.

Discombobulated by clocks changing nonsense AGAIN.
Gah !
[UK GMT to BST ?]
At a first look there appear to be strong and opposite views on the effectiveness of Balance exercises (or Zing Method) in helping #adhd
Any experiences or thoughts?
I'll post this one as well, seeing as how I'm sort of in it.

@matty@blahaj.zone The jokes. They've been coming for years. Gets a bit frustrating having the impulse to do a great and funny photoshop and finding my skills lacking. I never seem to find/make the time to learn, either. (#ADHD).
I mean, I can do simple forms of it. This here required a little bit of it, getting my photographed and heavily GIMP-ed toy next to the art of the smaller character. But that's still quite a low bar, technically speaking. And that took me ages. Sometimes I just want to fire one out; the ongoing curse of the Artist.

#cybersecurity, if you could be less anti-#adhd / #neurophobic[1] that'd be great.
In this particular instance, I'm referring to continually rebooting/restarting processes
AND LOSING ALL MY STATE !!!!!!
I keep my brain on here. Please stop throwing it in the trash.
And don't tell me to "keep notes". I already have a full-time job, I don't need to also manually repeat work the computer could be doing.
I'm a professional #software #engineer. I know you have the power to save and restore my state exactly. You are chosing not to because it makes life easier FOR YOU. But this tool is for ME.

Sorry to hear that!
While you're without your meds, it might be worth upping the number of other dopamine creating activities that are relatively harmless, eg:
* Exercise
* Hugs
* Learn about something you're interested in
etc.
Consider setting a timer (or three) if you know you're about to do something you tend to get caught up in doing for way too long.
Good luck!

@RickiTarr it’s looks like an #adhd work in progress situation 
Frustrated this evening. Tried a whole set of good nighttime hygiene practices, was fairly ok then wide awake with racing mind, restless body and no temperature control.
So I've been up more than 2 hours.
