    My work appraisal today was one big love letter to my traits! I was praised for my attention to detail, calmness (i.e soft voice and lack of facial expression), efficiency (hyperfocus), logic, organisation (ordering), technical ability, kindness (empathy) & more.

    This drawing was done by my oldest son, who is and . When I asked him what this drawing was of though, he said, “It’s me as flying as a superhero saving people. Don’t worry mommy! I’ll always protect you.” This is now my new favorite piece of art. ❤️

    And eventually all that effort, all the energy expended, brings us tumbling down. By the time an person is in their late 20s, early 30s, they may well have experienced 'burnout', where whatever circuits and batteries we were using to mask just wear out.

    Sometimes I think I’m not but then I realize I haven’t eaten in 8 hours because every decent food I can think of has Bad Texture or Too Much Texture or Not Enough Taste or Too Much Of That One Taste, and the only thing I can bring myself to eat is ice cream.

    We have to do this, you understand. The alternative is a life of literally endless negativity from our friends, family, peers, colleagues, employers. Trouble is, typical behaviours are seen (for no good reason, for the most part) to be socially unacceptable.

    Let’s reframe the term “picky eater”. We need to understand why a child might prefer the same crackers rather than another non-preferred food item, it offers safety and comfort, especially relevant for children. It make sense! If we understand, then we can support.

    I was contacted this week by a newly diagnosed adult thanking me for creating an environment where it's normal to talk about autism. 🥰 So, I will continue to speak openly, positively & truthfully about my experiences here & in schools. 💕

    Shame has been somewhat of a constant companion since I was young. My feelings were always too big or too disproportionate. My questions were too much and too big. I was the insatiable asker of "why" instead of the polite, well mannered child. And I felt BAD about it.

    Where we can, we gradually learn how to hide these behaviours, stuff them right down into our psyche, conceal them, suppress them. We 'mask'. We go around pretending to not be . Some of us are very good at this.
