Good morning.

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.

Being able to properly talk about frustrations in the workplace with folks who deny and can do it well just add to it. It’s like they know how to play against my attempt at healthy nature and know I’ll crumble. Being a supervisor with the need of workflow hinders significantly when there is so much lack of it up the totem pole. The trapped feeling of this is what’s preventing me from going anywhere else since anywhere else will be a significant pay cut that’ll end up forcing me in to debt. Gotta love the tied hands aspect of lacking consistency and flow. Big benefit of my special interest being in computers is I can completely shut out the world to get back to my other work by diving in to the digital world.
