Yes, practice doing something over and over again and it becomes easier over time.
Maybe write short stores or caption pictures? |

| I use DEET as an effective bug spray. I've swatted a few mosquitoes recently when I haven't used DEET. I've now been applying DEET to my socks to ward off ticks. We now have lone star ticks. Being bitten by them can make you allergic to red meat. I used some of that cortisone cream for a very mild s... |

| Good luck with the new jobs! I think it is important to watch how much work your fellow employees do and try to do about the same. I think the biggest mistake is to do too much work instead of too little. The boss may like that but not your fellow employees. If you need help, ask. But don't associat... |

I moved away from a toxic family. Was married but she passed away decade ago.
I play golf and garden as hobbies. Lots of acquaintances but no close friends.
Could be worse. I retired two years ago and my investments have done well. |

I supported a monthly forecast by remembering to download and edit stuff for public consumption. If I forgot the forecast did... |

| It may be easier to avoid stressful situations. I now avoid shopping when it is busy. I've gone to Target and found it too busy as soon as I walked in the door, so I turned around and left to come back another day. I now wear high fidelity earplugs in noisy situations, like watching fireworks close ... |

Great to hear you finally received a diagnosis!
When I was working I'd constantly research stuff and find useful links but now I'm retired and spend my time golfing and gardening. |

Now that I'm retired, I can get up at 5AM to be the first one off the tee to play a round of golf at 7AM in the morning. |

| It may be best that you weren't diagnosed so you don't end up in a government database being used for nefarious purposes. If you need an special help at work just ask for what you need. For example, it is common for workers to get special chairs as they sit around all day. There is a concept known a... |
