I'm so unmotivated today, which is very inconvenient since I have so much that I need to get done.

@actuallyautistic Does anybody else here find that when they’re in a new place—a store, someone’s house, wherever—that they have an urge to walk all throughout the place and see where everything is?

I never thought about it before, but today I wondered if it’s because I unconsciously want to see all the distractions and novelties so they don’t, you know, distract me from what I’m supposed to be doing the rest of the time that I’m there. Just a little self-management.

Update: I now have this song firmly lodged in my brain on endless repeat, as if it were not already hard enough to sit still in meetings.

Demanding professional references from people with neurodivergent brains that make it difficult to maintain contact with former colleagues is ableist.

We are professionals who do good work and work great with people but please don't ask us to maintain social relationships which aren't meaningful to us beyond a reference.

Me: "It's after 3, let's get back to sleep."
My brain: "Yeah sleep's cool, but can you name all of the families and a few examples of each? You might need to explain that to someone sometime."
Me: "Sure! Well, there's Germanic (English, German, Dutch), Slavic (...."

Me: "Oh, and of course let's not forget the Celtic lang-- [looks at clock] -- I hate you, brain."

The way the autistic "narrow interests" part of my #AuDHD manifest itself is not in the learning department. It's in the motivational department. I have broad lexical knowledge but a narrow ability to perform, especially if sustained effort is needed.

I sound like an encyclopaedia but I need help in everyday life, which I have only started receiving a little bit of in the past year or so. It's just really hard for me to take care of myself, even if the consequences are very bad.

It's a challenge to find a viable career when you're so picky. I worked as a software developer for over a decade, but with repeated burnouts. They kept giving me projects that were too boring to stay motivated. I tried out ADHD drugs to compensate, but they made me unstable, so I had to quit those, and the industry itself.

I can pretend to function like a normal human for a few months while I'm still excited by the novelty of the situation (such as starting school or landing a new job), but once everyday life settles in, things start to get difficult due to the motivational issues.

I think it very important to quietly highlight some things I do despite my stupid brain not wanting me to, as a kind reminder to myself that I’m not completely useless.

As a result, the single tiniest triumph in my day is when I take off my trainers by undoing the laces.

I didn’t do that for a couple of weeks, and noticed they were beginning to wear away at the heel. They cost me quite a lot, so I want them to last. So every day I put in a few seconds effort, and praise myself.

Is it something with the weather? Is it the pollen? I'm having a mare of a week for concentration. I can't focus on anything, flitting from one thing to another, forgetting things I should be doing. Coffee is not helping like it usually does. It doesn't help that I can't sit for a long time without stiffening up (still post op hip rep, but getting there). Also, the maddening tongue on tooth rubbing stim is back. Open to suggestions @actuallyadhd

Well, I do seem to have achieved something this week, albeit lots of little things that seem to have catered to my current mood!

I’m going to write every day in the month of May. I will publish as often as I can, aiming for twice a week or 10 posts. I have an enormous drafts pile and getting those out into the world would feel satisfying.

Good grades and a successful career hid a lifetime of suffering. Burnout at age 38 revealed signs that had been there my entire life. My hope is that sharing my ADHD symptoms and compensation strategies will help others get help sooner.

@bookstodon @bookwyrm
If you read large print or dyslexic font paperback books do you prefer this to be indicated on the cover (say on a banner at the top) to help you identify the accommodation?

I compiled a quick poll based on different perspectives I've read.

➡️ Please consider sharing to help me reach more readers.

@bookstodon many months ago I received feedback that some readers disliked how I labeled my large-font edition of Late Identified workbook. So I could do better, I asked.

The majority that participated reported they wanted the accommodation labeled on their paperback in a visible way.

“Large Print” or “Dyslexic Print.”

When I asked where, most said on the spine.
