I love this, funny and helpful all at once. My inner child wants to do some abstract painting. We started a painting 3 years ago and we're going to finish it today! How's that for public accountability too?! Thanks
I read all the advice I can about coping in a world made for neurotypicals, but nothing really seems to take away the feeling of otherness and being outside of things....and most autistic "communities" are virtual and online which doesn't resonate at all for me...how do people actually manage this feeling, which has made me so lonely all my life????
I’d like to make a dream come true and would be so grateful for your validation. My dream is to start my own workshops for reducing anxiety through investigation of the Natural World. Xxx
Thank you so much for this, I had Ana amazing time in a hammock on holiday in Germany in 2015 - 6 years later I still haven't got my own and have a lead yd wanted one, you've inspired me, and I never knew about autistic inertia, it explains so much, thank you so much for the blog.
Yes! I love this for you! I've recently noticed that telling someone else (accountability buddy, or as my friend says, accountabuddy) helps me so much with just getting shit done on my to do list, but I should definitely extend this to things I actually want to do. Thanks Chel :)
I understand re autistic inertia. It can be therapeutic sleeping out in nature. Although at times only as a 'lifestyle choice' in summer. Hammock or tent helps, even then the cold starts to bite at 4:00am.

The inner child part really spoke to me. Thank you!
