Anonymous Guest asked: Oh I know about being hard to yourself. I've raked myself over the coals more than enough times because of all sorts. And for what it's worth the first autistic person I knew, who got diagnosed when it was a lot harder to get diagnosed, also worked in a supermarket so your job means bugger all aside from the fact that you're one of the lucky 15% of those with non-standard wiring who've managed to get hired. And remember, being able to do something but having it take a lot more effort and what have you than is standard counts as a disability as much as being incapable of something does.
It's always super hard to give myself the accommodations I'd give anyone else in my situation, since emotionally and mentally it's really hard to feel enough of a genuine connection to internalize anything said. Over the past two years or so I've been getting a little bit better at reconstructing things and at least figuring out they're there, but it's a long path. I need to get more shroom gummies and have a mental health contemplation day soon
