Its not a picnic for The Bear everyday, nor another day in Bearadise. I have to frequent places that have less than accepting folks. But there are some other voices I like to put on when I am feeling alone.
The first is Orion Kelly, I found him on YouTube a while back, then he wrote a book that I have bought. It was during my self discovery phase where I was trying to aggregate everything about this Late Diagnosed Autisitic thing. Anyway if he resonates with ya cool.
He gave me words to use for my feelings that I could not describe. That's when I figured out about Alexithymia, Masking, Burnout, Meltdowns and all the fun things like Stimming and Special Interests.
