Do you do this?

One of the challenges people on the spectrum often struggle with is change, especially a change they have not instigated.  And it can be disconcerting for all concerned.  And yes, I know it can be extremely hard to deal with.

And it can be much more complex when there are other factors involved, live living on the autism spectrum.  Sometimes life HAS to change and there is nothing that can be done about it.  We have been having difficulties with changes that have been essential for my state of wellbeing and mental health.  

Mostly I work from my chair in the living room at home and I have discovered that mess causes issues for me.  And I struggle to get things organised, so have called in professional help to enable changes to be made.  Truthfully, I wish I had tried to find someone earlier in my life but I didn’t so I have to accept it and move on.

Sometimes I put things off because I simply can’t face them at the time.  And I know it.  I can go into a state of, well, let’s call it withdrawal (actually that’s probably the right word).  The mental health I am working on to help both myself and my family.  And it’s not been easy to find the right professional to help me.

One of the other things I struggle with is decision fatigue, and I am learning how to recognise it and try to change it.  Once I have reached a place where I simply CAN’T make a choice, I come to a dramatic grinding halt and find life simply too much to deal with.

So now I have written a number of posts in the middle of the night.  I can’t remember if I told you, I accidentally put my IPad in a basin that had a small quantity of water in, I didn’t notice it and the IPad had too much water damage to fix.  So now I have a much smaller IPad it seems to help my productivity.
