Diary of an ASD Squirrel. Day 371 , Saturday 02/11/2024

Up early this morning, about 06:30.
Made breakfast for Mrs S for the first time in a while, then did the chores.

Joined a certain Pixy playing NMS & we were later joined by Mel. We all managed to get thru to the end of the expedition! There is some tidying up to do but to all intents & purposes all 3 of us made it thru.
We not only had to fight the baddies & solve the puzzles that were part of the expedition, but we also had to solve the problems that the glitches & bugs in the game itself. I live for this stuff, cut me in half & I have “Nerdy problem solver” written up the middle!
I had a really good time this morning & I wanna thank @PixysJourney & @Nio for helping make it so - Thanks Ladies!

Watched some random TV progress this afternoon & then we watched ‘Twisters’ while munching on fried chicken & chips (fries to our US cousins).

Final Thoughts.

Reading about Kemi Badenoch’s (the new UK Tory party leader) views on autism & mental health spoilt an otherwise really nice day. Apparently we all need to “…solve our mental health problems on our own…” like we used to!

Late diagnosed autists like myself have played on both sides of this particular field & I tell you this:

Dealing with autism & MH problems on ones own is a fools game.

Pretty much everyone I know who would be reading this understand the power of helping each other, that supportive communities, like the most excellent one we have here in the Fediverse, are far more effective than individuals at helping ND folk & those with MH issues not only face and ultimately overcome the challenges presented to them but to make an active contribution in the wider world!

Thank you to all those who are helping me on this journey, in a myriad different ways. I am thankful to each & every one of you! 🫂 🫶🐿️🖖
