I'm extra tired this morning due to physical overexertion and Too Many Tasks in general.

Sometimes I overdo it, but a lot of the physical overexertion had to do with making this underinsulated apartment livable in the winter.

Going to bag out of a social commitment to help a friend's kid with his English classes today (I do get paid for it). Mom will be disappointed, but my literal physical health comes first.

@btaroli @stephen @shaun @actuallyautistic be aware that just because we CAN do a thing doesn't mean it's going to be good for us over the long haul.

I masked and self-medicated my way through 20+ years of fulltime tech employment in an office environment, and ultimately the combination nearly cost me my life

Had I had a DX earlier, I might have opted for part-time or work as a writer, editor, or translator.

Would you be interested in a discussion about the book: "Older Autistic Adults In their Own Words, The Lost Generation?" by Wilma Wake, Eric Endlich, Robert S. Lagos.

I'm leading for December the discussion on an online autistic community and I am wondering if you would be interested if I share my posts on here?

@johnnyprofane1 @actuallyautistic

Thank you for the text version. As more and more people get diagnosed later in life your testimony is essential. (It was last year for me at 49).
