When I was still working (before I knew about my neurodivergences) everyone thought I was nuts cuz I LOATHED 3-day weekends. Everyone else sees it as an extra day to relax, but I saw it as a change in my routine that would take two weeks to recover from. I’d come back in on Tuesday and it was like I’d forgotten how to do my job 😭

I absolutely appreciate how supportive and understanding you are for her. Late in life AuDHD diagnosed at 38 and it is hard to get a grasp of the feelings and what is pushing the feelings whether good or bad but especially the bad feelings. Routine change is so hard.

I love the interaction between you too, and it’s awesome that you not only know she’s autistic but you also are willing to accommodate her. I’m late diagnosed, as in diagnosed at 61, and I never got that in my marriage. I really think it would’ve been different if we had known going into it. So it’s very interesting for me to watch what it’s like to be married when you know about the autism.

I feel this deeply in my soul.
routine is great. but then disruption to it is awful. it truly feels like an explosive 🧨
and the saying 'i feel like I'm hiding it well'...that in itself takes a lot to manage.

Your last statement about respecting her bandwidth made my soul sing! My partner understands me in a similar manner and it's just so refreshing to see it in other couples 🥰

I didn’t realize that when I can’t sleep because I have something to do in the morning, it’s because of the change in routine! Makes so much sense

If anything in my routine changes, a new appointment, kids get off or go into school at a different time, I will 100% completely forget about it. I will be stressed about it, but I'll also still forget about it when the time comes.

You are amazing! The way you have worked on understanding how her brain works and you respect that aspect of her too. I applaud you.

It’s hard when we rely on our routine to get through the day, and for whatever reason we count on our routine- but it gets thrown off. I remember when my children’s schedule would change it would threw off the entire day and sometimes week. Sympathy to you friend.

This is my week I’m prepping for graduation planning and a branch fell on my roof , I became physically injured and told to rest for a month , and my kids school schedule is changing on demand and my son just told me he needs new dress shoes for his dance that is tonight at 6pm … I’m going to need to garden after this 😭😭😭

The routine is like muscle memory and then we go and change it and my brain and body have to work twice as hard 😭

My nephew came to live with my hubby & I for 6 months to complete a placement in university. His schedule was different every day. I didn’t sleep for those 6 months, it threw me right off, even though my routine essentially stayed the same.

I appreciate you both so much. You can tel that you love her so much you’d never let the thing that happened to Cheryl Hines at the WHCD ever happen to her.

I need someone who helps me figure this stuff out, I do an auto-mask and can't stop me from telling people "the right answer" 😅

I'm AuADHD. In my particular case I hate change but I adapt to it, with a lot of grumbling, pretty quickly.
What I love here is, as Becca is talking about the changes, I can see the compassion on your face. Even if you don't get what she's going through on a gut level, you understand that the changes are hard for her and the empathy is writ large on your face.
I love you folks ❤️

My routine changed this week but I did a lot of prep for it, and it’s a new job with sooo much less stress so far & I can feel my nervous system starting to recover. Fingers & toes crossed that I still feel this way in a month, minus the worry about how much I don’t know yet about the job & the people & the workload.

I feel this. There’s so much decision fatigue when there are changes.
