Thanks Kraftie - don't want to derail Aspie Dad's thread, but you said it yourself...it really isn't that simple. And education is good, but not the be all and end all. I really should get back to my thread...  |

| Good luck with your presentation. My work background is in teaching/tutoring (though not as a teacher as such) and I find presentations OK as a rule - I enjoy sharing my knowledge in the hope it will help others. But I hate it when the audience is already likely to know the stuff. So I get how you'r... |

| How nice not to only be accepted when you disclosed your autism to the CI, but also to get good, solid advice on how to deal with some specific situations you found difficult (which all sound very familiar to me!). As for the move, big news! Unfortunate that your mum couldn't manage to keep it in un... |

| I used to get paranoid when I had a good review at work. Before my disclosure at work my paranoia was about "when will they realise I'm faking it" variety, and once I had disclosed (my ASD and my MH problems with the exception of BPD because it's so stigmatised) I thought they were just be... |

| I'm glad I'm not alone in the exhaustion after interaction. I mean, I wish that you guys didn't suffer the same way, but it's nice to hear it's not just me! Welcome to my thread, Mcphologer :) My knuckles are indeed white from trying to "hang in there". I actually had an OK day today - had... |

| Thanks Kraftiekortie and AspieSingleDad. N came and made sure I was ready to go to my supported work placement but I was so anxious about it that I couldn't speak. When we got there and had my restart meeting, N had to speak for me. But once I got into the work it went OK and time passed relatively ... |

| Thanks for the continued good thoughts, folks. In spite of feeling very low and not wanting to see anyone, I spent 3 hours with M on Saturday. We went to a cafe at a garden centre out in the country (I live in the centre of a city). It was nice to get out of town for a short while, but as usual M wa... |

| Been feeling really low today with lots of suicidal thoughts. Out of hours social work sent me a text earlier just as my thoughts were at their worst and we ended up having a text conversation about cats vs dogs! Well, it distracted me a bit which was probably a good thing. Had lunch with my least f... |

| I'm type 2 diabetic and reduced my HbA1c from 90 (10.4%) to 37 (5.5%) in 3 months by seriously reducing my carbohydrate intake. I cut out sugary foods (obviously) and rice, bread, pasta, potatoes. It was not so hard once I got into it, although those things previously made up a huge proportion of my... |

| The CJSW already knew about my police involvement on Saturday. It seems news travels fast when you're stuck in the criminal justice system. We talked about what happened and she told me that I wasn't in trouble and the police had responded to a "concern for safety" call from the shopping c... |

| Well, maybe you needed the rest. When is your court date for this incident that took place? Yes, I probably needed the rest - I haven't been sleeping well. My next court date, for sentencing, is not until mid-August. Until then, I'm under supervision by the criminal justice social worker who will b... |

No, it was You Were Never Really Here. It was that good (!) that I fell asleep. |

| I saw one of my support workers, N, yesterday afternoon and this morning. N is trying to encourage me to talk more, but I find it hard and my experience is that when I do talk, people either don't listen or choose to misunderstand. Either that, or I'm not saying things right. I'm still thinking a lo... |

| Yes, I get them. The visual part usually lasts about 30 minutes. Usually they progress to headache, sickness, weakness/heaviness in limbs which lasts for hours and leaves me washed out for days after. Sometimes they don't progress. The last one I had, a couple of weeks ago, didn't. |

| I spent last night at home in my own bed, my heart rhythm having returned to normal and the psych liaison nurse deciding I didn’t need to be transferred from medical hospital to psych hospital. One of my autism support workers (I have 3 who share the job) visited me once I was home. She told me I lo... |
