Diary of an ASD Squirrel. Day 45 Wednesday 13/12/23
TL:DR NMS is game de jour again! ; Besties are the best 🤗🥰 ; Pretty chilled & MH is on the up ! 😊
Super good day, pretty much NMS wall to wall, major push to finish Expedition 9, which turned out to be worthwhile as I got a mean Fighter ship out of it , that I can use in EVERY other save & all future saves.
CDP 🧚♀️ will defo be jealous in the morning 😆
Talking of CDP 🧚♀️ who could wish for a better bestie, we played solo this morning but chatted & then had a major co-op session this afternoon!
I think it is a quirk of my ASD that I can only coop with 1 person, & they have to be an exact fit! No wonder its taken so long to get into co-op playing !
Project WOOF sadly took a serious step back today, I could not resist hitting the Danish Butter cookies, which are bite sized & ridiculously moreish !
Hey ho, mucho exercising & dieting in the new year!
The fact that today was another day where all the masks were off also helped sp much to relax me!
Final Thoughts:
Ok I must be getting better MH wise, my gaming addiction is coming back!
Vis a vis the above - I need to schedule my time !!
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 ! 🫂 🫶🐿️🖖
@skyfire747@actuallyautistic Yeah, but I might starve to death, I literally forget to eat n drink when I get too absorbed in a game (or anything I really like) I’ve been known to do an 8hr session on a cookie & cup of tea. 🙄🤦♂️
@Tim_McTuffty
Glad you had such a good day! 😁 A shame about Woof though 😉 Hehe, as I shared with you before. But with my binge addiction I totally understand the nomnoms loads... Unfortunately 😔.
I had loads of fun gaming! Maybe after like 20 more hours I might actually start to understand what I need to do better. But you're patient and your goldfish is trying to indulge my adhd brain, as well as the asd part, and for that I'm very grateful.
I can't do coop with everyone. But there are a few people that I can with and I always enjoy my time loads when I'm online with them. I'm glad we connected and have loads of fun. 😊
Wishing you a very good night! 😴 I won't be online too much, probably, depending on my parents and the visitors. It's dad's bday (could be his last 😔) so I need to help and do my best.
Sending Pixy hugs 🧚🏼♀️ and kisses from Arwen 👅🐾 Hihi 🤭 have a lovely day! @actuallyautistic
@PixysJourney@actuallyautistic I enjoy my time with you enormously CDP 🧚♀️🥰 , we have such fun & because we share the ASD (ASS snigger! 🤭 ) it helps us understand one another’s limitations I think.
I hope you ,your Mum & most especially your Dad have the best day possible, my thoughts are with all of you 😊🫶🐿️🖖
@Tim_McTuffty
🤗 Fankoos 🫶🏻 🐿️ 🧚🏼♀️
Yeah we do well together, even when I annoy you with my silly questions and actions 😂
Fankoos. No people here at the moment, so some time to catch up a bit here. Enjoy your NMS and don't get too famous there without me around 😉 @actuallyautistic

There aren’t enough boosts for me to say how happy I am to hear that Tim. Makes my heart warm. It’s incredible you have been able to feel different from not masking it was hard for me at first.
Slowly I started feeling a similar way, although it was many bruised knees at first. It’s almost like learning a new language. A kind of language of yourself, is similar for you?
All I know is I am grateful for many endless things. ♾️❤️
@EVDHmn@actuallyautistic I think that the not masking is not so much a new feeling as a lack of effort ITMAS, I don’t have to expend any energy on being anything other than me.
I have to mask so much in the NV (None Virtual) world, with everyone , most of the time. Especially with AJJ as all is not well in the Squirrel den & the ‘happy , patient , subservient ‘ mask requires an enormous amount of energy.
On here I barely mask at all - oh I hide behind the Squirrel, but other than that it’s pretty much wearing my heart on my sleeve (paw ? ) .
As you have seen over the last few days, I’m very much still falling and scraping my knees, but now I have learnt one of the things I ‘didn’t know I didn’t know’ ie that I’m autistic to some degree, then it is easier to get up & learn how not to trip over that particular thing again.
I personally am super grateful to have friends on here who share & support so willingly …. 🫵👀🖖
