Omg I had my performance review today so I of course cried and said "I'm sorry, I find this very uncomfortable. I do not like to be perceived."

So I guess my bosses are acutely aware of my autism today lol

I’m sorry to give you the anxiety from seeing a reply to your comment, but I just had to say that I feel this intensely.

I wasn't aware.

Better than yesterday, now that I am seeing my foodstamps for April on the pending payment thing. Like a day after I did my recertification interview I kept getting messages saying I didn't do it. Fuck you, yes I did. 😬

Everything is more of a cluster - f than normal. I have been trying to help a couple of clients get government services in place for MONTHS, these are things that used to be fill out the form/talk to your care team what you want, wait a month, two max. One client issue I've been chasing since August of last year!

I'm sure the current admin doesn't help things at all; but my county has always been messed up like this anyway. If I really had to, I do know of a physical office about 45 minutes away that is never busy and can deal with a person face to face. But that's always a last resort. shudders People... Ew.

Not bad not good. I'm quite anxious about my new (and first) job. I'm just not sure if I'm making good decisions in my life... And on a side note. I've heard that someone was giving info brosures about autism :) I was quite happy and surprised

massive_bereavement@fedia.io · 3 pts · 133d

Plans keep changing on my work trip and the “we will burn that bridge when we get to it” attitude of my coworkers is killing me.

Got my official official diagnosis today! What a coincidence.

So, I am doing great! Thanks for asking :)

Wow this must give you special powers or something

vapeloki@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 133d

At least i am now aware

thezeesystem@piefed.blahaj.zone · 5 pts · 133d

Oh God please don't perceive me. But doing decent today. Better then most. Thank you :)

Well, I'm definitely aware that I'm autistic

wendyz@piefed.social · 0 pts · 133d

Me tooo

Crackhappy@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 133d

That's silly. I'm aware I'm autistic every day.

Maeve@kbin.earth · 2 pts · 133d

I'm trying not to lose it with a particularly entitled, formally diagnosed Cluster B-C client. I am beginning to wonder if their DX is way off and have urged my office to get them re-evaluated.

Fauntistic

Hemicrania is taking a world tour of my skull at the moment.

RebekahWSD@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 133d

Extremely aware of existing. Wish I was slightly less aware of existing.

TerdFerguson@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 133d

I love that we need to make the autistic people aware there is actually a day for them. I suppose everyone else is even less aware....

BUT WE GOT A DAY.

Well maybe about 11 1/2 hours left in my case... I think I'm going to go play a bunch of April's fools day pranks on people and then blame it on autism day because it takes me a little longer to get the joke.

Day was alright!

But I legitimately only found this out via Reddit (and now Lemmy). For an event organized by the UN it feels so anticlimatic that I didn't see any mention of it where I live throughout the entire day 😭
