@midiv3il: there’s a difference between accommodation and not doing anything that challenges you #fyp #fyppppppppppppppppppppppp #actuallyautistic #neurodivergent #autism
maybe instead of "I can't do the dishes" ask yourself, "what could bring me closer to doing the dishes?" (doing it seated, gloves, headphones, a timer, etc). you'd be amazed how you can accommodate yourself if you remove shame from the equation

I've started to realize part of the reason I'm a homebody is because I simply do not want to drive anywhere 😅

I didn't get my full driver's license until my early twenties. I also signed up for driving school because it was much easier to drive with a stranger than someone I knew until I was confident enough.

My issue was that I did try to challenge myself but only things I thought I "should" do or that I was told to do. Not what that I wanted. For example to attend social gatherings where nobody liked me. Instead of spending my energy figuring out what I want & working towards that. It took until 3 years after being diagnosed to even consider what I like or feel.

I think it's fair to give yourself some time to decide what you can and cannot do. I learned I was autistic when I was in burnout, so I immediately cut all unnecessary activities and have been slowly adding new activities when and if I can. there should be no push to do more... though thats difficult in this economy.

I have the complete opposite. I'm overloading myself and uncomfortable with accomodating myself bc it makes me feel weak and I constantly push my limits. I don't know how many years I've been in burn out now. I'm having skill regression as well. Please use your accomodations and please don't push yourself too hard

caroline 🇵🇸🐝 :
im struggling with this so bad right now. it’s really hard to differentiate between something making me uncomfortable or me actually needing an accommodation. because like some things are TOOOO much but like also am i limiting myself? am i pushing responsibility onto other people that should be my own? Like idk it is weird to navigate

how do you accommodate yourself in terms of driving? I live in Houston, moving to Dallas soon, and the drivers in both places are HORRIBLE.. no one follows the rules 😭 I'm terrified and don't know how I could possibly get used to it

Yeah cuz it still can’t be an “excuse” but it still is to my head. I can’t do anything without 2nd guessing what I’m being lazy at or is a part of me being autistic

I struggle a lot with this. I know things need to get done, but it's difficult for me to do them - especially with unmedicated severe ADHD and chronic illnesses. I wish I had someone to help me, but that's not an option so I have to just get better at caring for myself :/
