@littlemissmonroe: Also it’s usually quite loud and busy still during breaks so it can be hard for our brains to get the sensory rest they need 😴 #autism #girlswithautism #tismtok #neurospicy
It just puts me into waiting mode. Which is honestly just worse.

It’s also social exhaustion. I can only take a break by sitting ALONE in my room for hours. I can not relax around so many people 😭

Me preferring to just work through my lunch makes so much sense now 😭

i always thought the purpose of breaks is to eat not to relax. but i’m such a slow eater, 30 minutes is not enough time

I've always thought it would be better to have all the classes at once rather than having breaks, to finish classes earlier and rest at home sooner. Now I get why I was thinking this

Those 30min lunches at work just feels like extra time at work. Just send me home 30mins early😭

I can’t go out to lunch because coming back is too insurmountable.

Timed breaks feel like extra work because now I have to change environments and focus on socializing or moving during the break. At home there's no focusing just existing, I don't even play games anymore because that too requires focus. I only crave the dopamine of socializing and playing games after a periodic rest (3 days on average).

I HATE lunch breaks! I changed my working hours so I don’t have to have them.

gloomykins :
omg yes. Especially in the break room, like why are people trying to talk to me about anything much less about work. Not even allowed to have earbuds in on break so I'm not even getting a break if anything it's more stressful

ThatWeirdGirl107 :
Once I entered corporate America, I started working through lunch and leaving an hour earlier because it's easier to work a long stretch and be done than take a bunch of breaks and just get more frustrated at the interruption

My entire life is led in 30 minute increments. No lies. I have no idea what the date is most of the time. Just what I’m going to do in the next 30 minutes.

the only good thing about the breaks is i get to go to the bathroom and eat and maybe rest my body a little, but my brain is not happy

jayjeetee :
as well as it being too short a break it's also not relaxing because during the break there are a whole new set of social norms that need to be followed. the transition to another difficult social environment adds demands rather than gives relief.

So, just like everyone else then? No one finds it relaxing to take a break at work knowing you’re back on duty soon

I used to have a “paid lunch break” which just meant I had to still work if needed (I was always needed) and then not be able to eat my now cold lunch in 10 min.

I used to push my lunch break for work so far that I’d either just leave 30 minutes early or I’d have my break right before I clock out

One of my last jobs didn’t even have a break room so everyday I’d walk to the shopping center next door and sit on a bench for my break. There were many times I went despite it raining 😅 had to get up out of there
