Based on my personal experience, okay, economics students understand politics better than political students themselves, hehe.

My first time wrote meeting minutes, it was quite fun and quite easy for me to do because I like writing. A new experience for me.

Today last mission at the games. Conclusion: physically (long days) and mentally challenging! Learning curve: extremely steep! Both in the "technical" use, as well as in dealing with the athletes! Yes, I had prejudices, yes, I revised! The experiences and goose bumps are unique! Many times tears even flowed secretly: from emotion - and embarrassment. Anytime again.
Next: https://www.euro2024volunteers.com/ See you there!
#SpecialOlympicsWorldGames2023 #MyExperiences Joint party of the athletes with the volunteers! Huge atmosphere! #Berlin2023 #TogetherUnbeatable
#SpecialOlympicsWorldGames2023 #MyExperiences
From my own perception and reports from others: the games are excellently received by the spectators! Full tiers and super atmosphere. The athletes are perfectly supported and driven to give their best, no matter which team they belong to! More about the athletes' interactions tomorrow.

Talking to my therapist about being a bit frustrated (in lack of better word) that I'm not sure if my ability handle sensory input is decreasing or if I'm just more ware of it.
"It could be both." ...
... Sigh. Gee, thanks 🙂
(It absolutely could be both, and I'm not at all unhappy they said that, but... I would like to know! Thanks! 🙂).
For my autism diagnosis I filled out a long questionnaire in advance. I saved a copy of it and I find it really interesting now to be able to refer back to it.
I find it especially interesting how many things I didn't know, even after having thinking about possibly being autistic in some detail for some months.
My autistic discovery is still ongoing, but I come a long way in ~14 months.
For stimming (question was longer):
I don't really know. It's only more recently I have started thinking about this may be a thing, and I'm having a hard time really understanding what may be part of this and not.
One thing I have noticed is at times when I sit at my desk my hands will automatically fidget with things on the desk. E.g. I had a cable tie (bendable metal in rubbery casing) which I was opening and closing to the point where the metal broke and I had a wooden fork from takeaway food which ended up in many small pieces without me thinking about it.
I have noticed a couple of cases of this. While I was sitting on my couch and filling out another question in this form, I noticed that I was rocking my food up and down, and I have noticed other similar minor cases lately.
Based on reading / hearing about stimming I have tried a bit seeing if anything with motions helped with feeling calm… but, haven't really found or noticed anything concrete yet.
For if I did anything like that when I was younger, I just don't know - I find it really hard to remember things like that from so long ago.
Once again I really wish my brain could translate what I mean into words, but I find it _really_ hard.
Expressing complicated technical topics in words, no problem. It may take me a bit in preparation, but I never find it to be hard.
Expressing emotional topics etc. into words - blank and brain resists hard when I try. Really feel like I'm fighting my brain which would rather net. I want to express something, but my brain does not.
Alexithymia sucks.
I'm really happy that I started talking to a therapist, and that I found one who is autistic.
I'm mostly posting this as datapoint for others, who may be considering it for the first time.
It took me years to "get started", where I sort of knew it would probably be a good idea as my mental health was not in a good place, but I couldn't get over the mental hurdle of starting the process for a while.
For me I do think finding an autistic therapist was absolutely key as (I think) it means they can much more easily understand me. At least it certainly means I haven't ever had to explain anything around autism.
PS. It's "talk therapy" (I think they called it) so it's mostly just... well, talking :-).
