Every time I go on a trip, I have a meltdown and try to find a way out of it. I guess that’s my routine.

Relayed or no, proceeding on pace by pace.

I am always #4.

I always have trouble with this because I just don’t look at the world that way. Gratitude comparison always feels like a Non Sequitur. I can have gratitude and simultaneously be depressed; it is not like they are mutually exclusive.

This is not to say I think CBT is bad, but I do wonder if a neurotypical person can correctly administer it to a neurodivergent person. The sad thing is until my ASD diagnosis a few weeks ago I didn’t even have a word for it and just thought I was a bad person and not trying hard enough.

I can relate to this. I have done lots of CBT for military PTSD and it feels almost like the CBT instead of easing my anxiety is now giving me anxiety about having anxiety. Basically, making me feel neurotic and like I have to supper mask. I hope that makes sense.

Although I have already been told I am on the spectrum I don’t find out what kind of autism until next week.

I do sincerely mean it. I am 46 years old and have been living this whole-time masking and didn’t even know it. I just started my journey 4 months ago and get my evaluation results on this
Tuesday.

I Am new to your page but just wanted to say thank you for this video and the information you are putting out. I am very new to understanding my own neurodiversity and your YouTube page has been an immense help to me.
