My Autism: want to do the things! All the things! Let's go!

My ADHD: gets distracted after 5 minutes, spends the next hour googling frog mating rituals.

今天有个自我发现，我在三个人及以上的群体里，说话会更抽象一点。但是我和人一对一说话会更personal，会更能够考虑到对方的感受。以至于两种模式会有些许不同的人格差异。有点像customize api和public api的区别。gpt的回答戳我肺管子了。（但其实一对一交流对我来说才算是真正的人与人之间的连结）

今天学到了autistic人表达爱的一些signs. 其中一个方式是inappropriate humor, because its a low risk way of testing emotional availability. 想到partner和朋友都跟我说过，“有的时候分不清你是真的这么想的还是在开玩笑”，我有的时候还会贱兮兮地确认“是真的呀”。以前还以为我只是have bad taste，现在注意到确实i only do it very exclusively to people I feel very close to. 😹

These days I've accepted my food foibles, I know it's a sign that my brain is overloaded when I default to beige and reliable and don't fight it

Some days it's a rainbow, some days it's utilitarian

想要做饭，先去tj看了下芍药和鸡蛋，又去kmart买了牛尾和牛仔骨，还买了韩式拌饭和鳗鱼烧当做午饭。回到家看到冰箱里的豆角，才想起来我是要去买排骨的。

speaking of losing things, 刚有个同事分享了一个trick：用彩色胶带mark住自己包包里的东西。这些mark过的小物件更容易被发现，更容易被收回到包包里，真的是太机智了！

@Jessica_l 真的! 还有我好喜欢online shopping/ store pickup / instacart这种超市代买服务, 避免了好多在超市里lost+overwhelmed的沮丧感. #ndlife

今天不去office的原因：找不到车钥匙了，找了半个小时终于彻底放弃了。。。

Tfw your #Neurospicy brain has an uncomfortable dream involving rectifying past mistakes, wakes up irritable, doesn't have enough time before work to zen/quiet itself, everything feels rushed, your clothes and skin are just Not Right, and it's all before 7am.

Shout out to my spouse for being an understanding, wonderful being even when the cracks appear in a temper never meant for him. #Neurodivergent #NDLife #AuDHDAdult

noise intolerance能力最近直线下降，不知道为啥，但是办公室里真的太吵了，最后只能躲进会议室里工作。不得不说会议室的隔音很好，之前担心自己和老板八卦被同事听见，现在是想多了。 #ndlife

Calmer的噪音过滤耳塞，是个小小的tunnel，带上后远处的traffic的声音，院子里的噪音，同事走路、接水的声音都弱了很多，不再是在耳朵里轰鸣的感觉。据说是缓解ADHD的，但是感觉更让我的asd side得到了平静 (reduced unpleasant stimuli).
ND的小伙伴不妨试试。
