"people think I'm weak but I'm not weak I'm SO strong and people don't believe me" that hit home so hard

And when you are looking forward to something and THEY CANCEL and you need two business days to recover and another week to try and get back into routine 🥲

Gingermew 🇨🇦 :
I had two full days of team meetings and it was so loud that I broke my rule and told them I was autistic, and WHY I needed them to quiet down. They didn’t. I went catatonic and had to be wheeled out of there in a wheelchair. That was the last day I worked.

I'm gonna offer you some suggestions as an autistic person surviving capitalism. if it's unhelpful or not what you need rn, pls delete ❤️- Start giving 50-70% effort. even if you feel you're falling behind. the people around u will adjust. - Schedule something directly after the meeting so you have an excuse to leave. - If you're stuck in a situation, fake a migraine. get out of there. you shouldn't have to BUT you have to care for yourself. and you deserve that care.

worst part is when it's running too long because people are choosing to share stuff about their personal life during the meeting

S. 🏳️🌈♀️ :
I'm "high functioning". And it it's one thing that wrecks me, it's this. When time isn't respected. I usually hold out for a maximum of five minutes, then I'll adress it. Sometimes I only hold out for 2. My peace, my time, my schedule is worth more to me than being polite and agreeable. I've even left meetings on teams mid speech because people can't hold their schedule.

pro tip: do a fake appointment, a reason you HAVE to go past 15 min too late. Have that. The exit plan. Hey! If u gotta go, u gotta go. Have that. Never do these things without a plan. Capisce! Love from Sweden.

“I was supposed to go to the gym and I was supposed to-“ I can’t describe how much I felt that in my bones, so many plans have been cancelled because something I couldn’t prepare for happened and just knocks everything and me off course and it’s impossible to go back, and it hurts because it wasn’t my fault!! I was supposed to!! And now I can’t!! Sending so much love, thank you for sharing - it reminded me I’m not alone 💖

“Nobody can hold this” hits real real hard.

🥹It sucks to be so self aware and still unable to control certain feelings.

Its not just that it took 45 minutes longer. Its the why. Its the audacity of those people, the rudeness of it. Putting that on you, the resentment. Next time leave at 15 minutes - if it was scheduled for 15 mins you have scheduled your day around it being 15 mins, leave - those are the rules. I've had similar experiences. Headphones with loud music to recover from the meltdown, safe food to eat, bless you xxx

Here’s something freeing: you CAN just leave. You say, “hey, we scheduled fifteen minutes. I have plans after this, so I need to leave now. Email me the details, thanks!”

I have had meetings like that and they are so stupidly exhausting. I totally understand the meltdown. I've had them too

My adhd overstimulation hack: message the teacher/ manager privately telling them you made plans to meet with someone directly after the meeting assuming this meeting would take 20 minutes tops, apologize then leave! Someone elses lack of planning shouldn’t ever be your burden

hearing you say “here are a lot of reasons why I love being autistic” healed so much inside me

jessiefrance :
Honestly? I totally get this. I feel like no one else around me has any mind for time. How much of MY time they are wasting, and I’ve got take an hour at minimum to mentally prepare for a phone call. I HATE it, why can’t I just be normal?? And I know it’s not my fault but everything is just TOO MUCH. So totally valid crashout, right there with ya 😭

I feel the same way. I’m autistic too and it’s really hard to explain to people how many feelings we feel and how “little things” aren’t little to us. Sending you love 🤍
