• Trying to have fun - back on the web after years of abandoning it. But the "indie web" is better, and I need a hobby.
• Feel weird talking about myself, since forever. Maybe this counts as exposure therapy (lol).

BRAIN, MIND:

• Level 2 autistic. Always struggled greatly - am burnt out.
  • Partner is currently my main support... and safe person. Unashamed gushing may occur.
  • Don't know where I'd be otherwise. Life feels impossible without her.
• Finally safe to use AAC device...! I know I'll only speak to my partner, one day. I already kinda do.
  • Talking has been hard since childhood - constant commentary, too. Was often forced to speak.
  • Tried embracing "shyness" but still bothered by commentary. Oh well! Learnt early, that most people aren't interested in hearing anyone. Just reinforcing rules, expectations and hierarchy.
