A random shout-out to THE FLOOF.

When I first learned about this comfy dog basket for humans, it seemed like an exceptionally silly idea. But by now I can attest that this thing actually works well as a retreat for the neurodivergent during a sensory overload. We have bought or recommended several for autistic loved ones in our life and they absolutely love their floof.

It's also handmade by an Etsy shop owner, which is just great.

      Ever had one of those days where, it's been so frelling long that you've forgotten what it's like to not be in burnout but you're also just mad at everything because there's no way out of burnout?

      No official diagnosis & your GP threw out the preliminary test that said you're a good candidate for autism that you got years ago. The waiting list is impossibly long so by the time you:
      1) Pluck up the dice / spoons to face the GP (I'm still working on it 😣)...
      2) Get an appointment & (by a miracle) maybe still have the dice / spoons...
      3) Actually persuade the GP an AuDHD diagnosis is what you need...
      4) Jump through whatever hoops to get the preliminaries sorted...
      5) Get the green light for getting a diagnosis...

      ... You'll be waiting so long, you won't need it anymore as you're too old to work & are on minimum pension.

      My messed up bodyclock doesn't help either.

      Oh, it's you Depression... 😫... Just what I need 😡😩.

        Quite proud of myself.

        As someone with , it's fair to say that I am *shit* with money. I've always been very impulsive and really, really bad at saving.

        So when we bought a new TV a couple of years ago with an Argos credit card I was eligible for, I was worried that I'd somehow fuck it up. I put together a spreadsheet detailing how much my repayments needed to be, largely so I could track it and know how I'm getting on with it.

        Last year, the original TV went tits up. We managed to get a refund from LG, which we put towards a much better TV, which cost twice what the original did. I updated the spreadsheet accordingly and added another year's worth of repayments. Then I bought my kid some headphones on the card, and added them too.

        Over the past two years I've missed two payments. One was planned, because we were going on holiday, and the other was two months ago, because it was January and I was skint, and kinda forgot.

        The credit agreement ends in 15 days, and I've just made the penultimate repayment.

        I've got £45 left on the card, on which I'll have to pay a few pence in interest next month.

        And then the TV is all mine.

        I'm 45 and I've never manged to do that before.

            When I'm done using them, I want to talk away from the computer NOW. I don't want to spend 5s holding a little button down until that's interpreted as a "long press" and it powers off.

              Announcement: I've got my Luanti/Voxelibre game server (Minecraft clone) set up on an automated timer, should you wish to join. The game times (and other connection details) are here:
              docs.autis.toque.im/#timing/
              The server is *only* on for those listed 4 hours per week. This is to encourage everyone joining at a regularly-recurring time. That's tomorrow late afternoon to evening.
              If you're into Minecraft-style trains/train-construction, hang gliders, or steampunk blimps, then this server especially for you! There are also wild animals wandering around. You might see an occasional if you're fortunate.

              I can possibly be convinced to download and enable new Luanti mods, once assured they are Voxelibre-compatible. But having said this, too many mods, installed with reckless abandon, might make the server unstable.

              PS: there is a technical support forum for luanti here: forum.luanti.org/

                      Anti-intellectualism isn't only attacking the concept of expert knowledge and people who have it, but also attacking and dismissing the people who could, even if in many cases only partially, have and understand that knowledge in the future.

                      "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing", but having less of it just leaves more room for belief, speculation and resentment and therfore makes it more dangerous.

                              …but hopefully all worth it…

                              As I’ve recently shared with you all here, I’m trying to get some help. For a long time, I’ve tried to make it on my own. And, after many hard struggles, I have had to concede… I had to admit to myself, and then to others, that I wasn’t, and am not, able to get it all done on my own. 😔 A good online friend told me that we’re not used to make it on our own, that we always need some form of support. But, getting that support as a NeuroSpicy 🌶️ person, it’s even more challenging (and maybe also more important).

                              And, what my friend wrote to me, he was so right. Getting specialized support when dealing with different diagnosis and struggles, is very hard. There are support options for the “basic things”, like there is support for learning to deal with trauma. And there is some sort of support of learning to cope best with a neurodivergeant brain. But! Struggling with CPTSD, while being ND, that’s a whole different thing! So, it needs even more specialized support. Which means it’s a lot harder to obtain. Which is what I am trying to do. But I have to say, I was hoping for more professional support, because the GP knows I struggle with communication, and I can’t really do phone calls, but now I have to reach out to a place that could maybe help me (they’re not even sure on that), and I have to find out if they could help me… So yeah, that’s not something I’m good at, and could also need help with…

                              Which I am also working on. A dear friend helped me out by calling to the city’s support department, as they could only be reached by phone. I have set up an introduction appointment with someone from that department by email. And, going from there, hopefully they can find me a buddy. Someone to support me every now and then with making phone calls, dealing with post/mail, and hopefully I can ask them about some small chores as well…

                              It’s been hard for me to accept that I should get over my pride, and that I needed to start reaching out for help. But, in the end, I did it. Part of me does feel bummed that it’s so hard to get the help you need… When you’re struggling already, when you’re that far down that you even accept and acknowledge that asking for help is a necessity, it should be easier to then obtain the help… When you’re already so low, when you’re scared of slipping off even further, you should not need to use the bit of energy you have left to find the help you so desperately need. You should start to receive the help from the moment you ask, they should support you with acquiring that much needed help. I know that health care is under pressure. But part of me wonders, if it would be better of people would get the support from the moment they ask. Now, it’s so hard to actually get the help you need, it’s so easy to slip down even further, making it impossible for you to actually get that help… If that makes sense… 🤔

                              But, I am working on it. And I hope that I will be successful, in the end. I also hope that, if I should be able to acquire that help, that it will help me to get my things back on track again… That life will become a bit easier to deal with, so that I’ll have more spoons left to make some real progress again. 😊

                              It’s a long road, it’s challenging, and sometimes (almost) too difficult to deal with… But, as I said/wrote, I really hope that I will be successful in the end. And that it will be what I needed to start feeling better again… Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 🍀.
