@theautisticcoach@actuallyautistic Especially in winter. In the warm/hot time of the year I usually drink enough, but as soon as temperature drops, I just don't drink enough.
It gets even more difficult since I have decided to keep my ffp2 mask on whenever I leave my home, so the most time I cannot drink anything when I'm in crowded streets, in public transport, in shops, or in public buildings.
@Autistrain@actuallyautistic@neurodiversity In German you might like the comic books from @Fuchskind – „Autistic Hero Girl“ (there are three of them). Makes one feel seen. Or do you mean scientific stuff?
@theautisticcoach@actuallyautistic Hm, I ate very fast in the two years of my professional training, because we trainees just didn't have much time: Walk to the canteen (in another building), wait in the row, get the food, find a place to sit, and afterwards I had to go back to my place in the training room, so I usually had 15 - 20 minutes to actually eat, and that in this canteen full of loud people.
Some times later my then-boyfriend recogized while we had dinner in a restaurant that I was eating so fast, and told me. After that I started forcing myself to eat slowlier. Took me a while, but I managed. Well, I was still young (less than 20 yrs old).
Ich habe mal eine Frage an die @actuallyautistic Gruppe in Deutschland.
Habt ihr eine offizielle #Autismus und oder #ADHS Diagnose erhalten und dadurch negative Folgen erlitten?
Gegenüber Schule und Arbeitgeber kann man es sich natürlich aussuchen, ob man die Diagnose publik macht. Aber wenn man bestimmte Versicherungen abschließen möchte, wird ja eine Gesundheitsauskunft verlangt. Ich denke zB an BU Versicherung oder einer verpflichtenden Risikolebensv. für einen Immokredit.
@theautisticcoach@actuallyautistic I'd like to have a clarification to this definition: Yes, I was not „connected“ to my autistic self the most time of my life, but now I am, and the burnout came years later.
With denial do you mean the denial to oneself or the denials from ones environment?
I feel burned out because I don't get the help I need. All I get when I ask for it are new tasks and problems which I at least in parts cannot solve and which would have to be repeated every year to „prove“ that I still need the help I seek.
As I’ve learned to unmask and be my authentic #ActuallyAutistic self, some people like me less, but I like me more. I think it was a worthwhile trade off.
