1. 2023-04-02  Sigh. Autistic Adults - Abandoned, Forgotten, Invisible

2.  On getting older and "more autistic", as a woman. How can I help my partner umderstand?

3.  DAE hate it when you ask for a very specific thing and people suggest you things that don't match your criteria? (Housing needs for survival come to mind)

4. Thinking hard makes the brain tired (economist.com) - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35408874

5.  Today I'm experiencing a reminder of why "Functioning" labels are unhelpful

6.  does anyone else "feel like they are not an adult" ?

7.  who else struggles with feeding themselves

8.  Do any of you "bring work with you home" aka think/talk about work when you're not supposed to?

9. 2023-04-05  My Burnout Story

10.  I’m tired of being misunderstood. People always take everything I say out of context and try to find hidden meanings in everything. I can’t take it anymore.

11. Does anyone ever purposely trick you because they know you are easily confused?

12. I cannot trick my brain into allowing me to make progress and it’s incredibly frustrating

13. Does anybody else feel that autism gets harder with age?
