This is a daily post for “casual” conversation. If you want to post or talk about something non autism related this is where to do it. For example if you want to info dump about your special interest but it doesn’t fall into “autism related” then you can post it here in the comments. All other rules are still active, be respectful to each other.
I went outside to water the plants. In the few minutes I was outside, the power flickered and everything reset. It was weird coming inside and not understanding what happened at first.
I'm really frustrated with the state of the health "care" system where I live. I requested sick leave last monday because of burnout, got one week and was instructed to go to a clinic today so they could continue it properly. Got one more week. The clinic is so overcrowded the waiting time for actual doctor's appointments is several months and they won't even tell me how long I'll have to wait for the mental health team to contact me. Each "acute" visit costs money and I don't see the point going there once a week to stress the system even more. I feel that I'm not taken seriously and I guess the masking plays a role. The visit definitely made me feel worse...
