Diary of an ASD Squirrel. Day 44 Tuesday 12/12/23

TL:DR NMS is game de jour ; If deadlines loom then locking myself away physically & digitally seems to be the only way to get me to concentrate ! ; Sometimes it’s nice to be reminded of old successes! ; Best friends rock n roll ! ASD assessments take FOREVER !

Morning chat with CDP 🧚‍♀️ ended up in an early morning NMS session, not co-op as I’m on with my expedition & she wanted to practice build & repairing. In the co-op save we have found a couple of ‘S’ class Royal Ships from the get go, which is fantastic ! Sadly mucho repairs required & a cold planet - which we will have to warp to another system to find !

CDP 🧚‍♀️ is still getting used to my quirky memory , with many a ‘oh another thing that I forgot to tell you earlier ….. “ driving her slightly nuts 😆

Went into DnD mode to finish the ASD self assessment form notes for this afternoons session.
Dug out the documentation from my TDB (Tape DASD Buffer) project, you know what, once upon a long time ago I was a shit hot Storage Manager ! Shame I’m now a house elf , but hey , memories ! 😊
Finished in time to have a chat before the meeting which was lovely!

The 2nd assessment session went really well, although I waxed so lyrical that a 3rd session is now booked to complete the S/A report!

I could finally relax after the appointment ended & I played a little more NMS .

Mrs Squirrel , who had been in the office returned & game had to go away , mask had to go back on & tea had to be made.

Final Thoughts:

I am so much better MH wise since I started this journey, yes there are episodes & triggers , but they are thankfully short lived & easier to cope with thanks to the support that I get from my Elephant riding friends !

I had forgotten why a major financial institution trusted me to ensure its key data was backed up in a timely & effective manner - I never realised it at the time, but I was a decent Tech back in the day !

One more Pre-assessment session then I’m assuming the real thing sometime in January / February ‘24 .
I hope that next year will be a turning point in my life - preferably for the better 🤞

Thanks to all those who are helping me on this journey, in a myriad different ways. I am thankful to each & every one of you ! 🫂 🫶🐿️🖖

Yay for the assessment going that well! Really very happy for you!

And yeah, when I ask you "should I do this" and you go "yeah let's do that" and then, when I started doing that you go "well maybe...." hahaha 😂 I sometimes wonder if I'm too quick to actually do the said thing or that I should wait three more seconds to give your squirrel brain time to reconsider 😇 haha! But it's OK! I love that you wish you explain the game to me. I'm learning but with a game of this magnitude, I'll definitely need loads of time to adjust!

Glad you were able to feel better since the start of the journey. 😊 I'm glad to follow it and I recognize things from my journey as well. I'm always just a ping away if you wanna discuss things about it. Except when my silly routine needs sleepies and all. But I'll always reply ASAP.

Big Pixy 🧚🏼‍♀️ huggies 🫂 and wet Arwen kisses 🐾 👅 Hihi! Have a lovely hump day!

@PixysJourney @Tim_McTuffty @actuallyautistic Always happy to help sweetie, but , as Squirrel fans will know, I have the memory & attention span of a goldfish , so stuff comes to me as it will & sometimes its not at the best time 🤦‍♂️ . But hey it adds that little bit more excitement to the game I think 😂

Thank you so much for your advice & understanding with regards to my ASD journey, it is a strange path & sometimes I do need lots of help !
