eazy<p>Today's <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/literalthinking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>literalthinking</span></a>: Work's teleworking agreement form: Is the home office space neat, clean, and free of excessive amounts of combustibles?</p><p>Neat? Not really. Lots of stuff on my desk not organized.</p><p>Clean? Hardly. Some paper trash and dirty dishes.</p><p>Combustibles? Form timed out from me inspecting everything for what might fit.</p>
eazy<p>I started down this path because my wife said I need to learn <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/deescalation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>deescalation</span></a> , but I got stuck on it seeming to be about how to handle OTHER people's emotional reactions. <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/literalthinking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>literalthinking</span></a> bit me yet again.</p><p>So, I figured out the term she meant was <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/emotionalregulation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>emotionalregulation</span></a>. In reading about it, the implied <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/ExecutiveFunction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ExecutiveFunction</span></a> requirement made no sense to how I could possibly approach it when <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/alexithyma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>alexithyma</span></a> hides what I am feeling, so I'm calming down on the backside of an outburst before I realize, "wait, this recent behavior... it's not right. Am I angry?"</p><p>The real problem likely is preventing an <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/autisticmeltdown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>autisticmeltdown</span></a>. In any case, I think what I need are new strategies as what worked while single doesn't while married with a kid.</p><p><a href="https://autistics.life/tags/ADHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ADHD</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/AuDHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AuDHD</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/autism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>autism</span></a></p>
Chai<p>PSA: When people say "do your best" or "it's ok as long as you do the best you can", they don't literally mean "try your absolute hardest and do the best you can possibly do".</p><p>They usually just mean "try, it doesn't matter if you fail".</p><p><a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/literalthinking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>literalthinking</span></a> <a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/blackandwhitethinking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>blackandwhitethinking</span></a> <span class="h-card"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/actuallyautistic" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>actuallyautistic</span></a></span></p>
