What's on your mind right now?

on my mind- a question, as usual- can an as pie woman and an ADHD man ever be in a successful marriage and function as adults.. tried do many times and always fail.

I'm an Aspie-ish man (I actually would fulfill the diagnostic criteria for Classic Autism, owing to my speech delay) married to a person who is probably ADHD. The marriage is partially successful, at least.

Well, it's time to take stock of the year.

Not feeling any better and my stomach is getting worse but my mom doesn't think I need to go to the ER. I don't ever know what to do about work. If you are going to call out sick, you have to give them six hours notice at least and I never know how I am going to feel when my shift is supposed to start.

I have said this a lot but I am becoming more and more aware of how my autism makes it hard for me to develop as an actor. I constantly have to think about what I have to say which makes improvisation theater incredibly hard and causes me to have a lot of awkward silences and I find it hard to to get all my creativity from my head to my acts myself. I'm constantly scared that I am not gonna make it to the next year because of this. I know that the teachers know that I try my hardest and they wrote it on my report card but I'm still scared. Posting it here as a reminder to talk to my college about it.

Wanting to finish my Christmas shopping.

i've barely started mine.

Grades, grades, grades. Received back what initially seemed a terrible one for my last batch of uni work - 50% of which I didn't hand in - hence the marks, I thought. Then I really thought about it (sigh). 48% received for the 50% handed in.
Since returning to education I definitely pride myself on collecting distinction scores; I generally do well in exams and formal assessment, and know the drill well. It wouldn't have been long ago that a grade of 48% would have put me in a foul mood for weeks. Given the circumstances however, that I hadn't completed all the required reading and one upsetting November, I received comprehensive feedback, good advice and the knowledge my tutor is a goddess of mercy. Her compliments of my maths have made my week. It took a long time for me to return to where I am and I'm always constantly scared my maths skills are too low for even a bachelors of science, but my confidence is slowly returning.

All this month, well, I've had days were they have been 'another day gone by'.

I have to eat breakfast and take a shower.

I have to get off my arse and do something with my life.
