    I am still not sure about quitting my job. My employer is really a very kind and patient person. I have worked with people with anger issues before so i am a bit scared.
    AprilR
    I don't feel ready for work tomorrow. Hopefully i will come to a decision on Tuesday regarding quitting this job or not.
    AprilR
    AprilR
    The worst part is, another coworker is also quitting this week so i may have to wait for a while
    AprilR
    I had a good talk with my mom for once. She seems accepting of my choice to quit for now.

    I am sorry your mom is not supportive. She sounds like she has a forceful character. It is hard not to get influenced by our parents' opinions about us.

    @Tony Ramirez Sound like your mother misinterpreted you talking about
    eating healthier food. I think she took that as a criticism of herself and
    what she eats.

    My friend got in a car accident. I can't even visit her bc i am also ill.

    Thank you so much guys. She is fine, not seriously injured so she is at home, and her parents are taking care of her. She was able to contact her parents before she passed out thank god.

    I had an outburst at work for the first time. Someone asked "what's wrong" and i answered "there is nothing here that is not wrong"

    I've lost my temper, made scenes...it's not cool, I regret it. Like shouting at somebody, over silly things. It happens to us all...April

    Mr. Stevens, you seem very cool calm collected person, very diplomatic. That's an admirable trait, you know.
    AprilR
    AprilR
    Yes, the people you work with are also so important. My coworkers are not bad, they aren't outright hostile towards me but they like to gossip a lot so i don't really trust them
    AprilR
    The mental strength i managed up to deal with this office is unreal. I need at least three trophies.

    April, I promise you're nicer to work with than a lot of peoples' coworkers. Work is often quite stressful, but working with nice people is a good thing.
    AprilR
    I literally can't watch Love and Redemption just bc i hate that one character.
    AprilR
    AprilR
    Its been a while since i hated a character so much

    It stinks a little when a character makes a good show suck. There's a show I like, it's pretty good but two of the characters are awful, they just ruin it. Every episode I hope they will fall off a cliff or something.
    AprilR
    AprilR
    Yes i am tired from skipping his scenes, he ruined the show for me
    AprilR
    Today i saw an autistic family friend. He apparently got a job finally.

    Jobs are difficult for us, no doubt, l struggled alot. My best job was my own tiny little cubicle office, with just attorneys for bosses. I had two bosses. My main boss now is a judge in Hawaii. He smelled like kimchi in the mornings. Lol. He was great to work for. I remember winning a false discrimination suit for him with my investigation.

    Old people reminisce alot. Sorry AprilR
    AprilR
    AprilR
    I like it when people reminisce about good memories.
    AprilR
    I don't think i can handle getting treated like a retard one more time. I am sorry for bothering people, i really am. And i am ashamed of myself

    I think it is more than not being able to read social cues. Not understanding key info about the world, how things work. Not being able to understand vague directions and vague words. Or maybe its bc i also grew up sheltered.
    AprilR

    Also sensory processing issues. Most of the time when someone speak too fast i cant comprehend what they are saying. And i cant focus on one piece of info when there is too much info to take in

    Yeahfasttalkerscanbeannoying. People jsut need to calm down, and, uh, talks slow, it's uh, more seductive, and mmmm, makes you seem... more inteligent.

    Someone was happily talking about women's day and it made me angry since i live in a country where domestic violence is the norm in relationships and pedophilia is also very common.
    AprilR
    AprilR
    I feel like i m coming across very opinionated lately but some things people do and say make me very angry.
    Aspychata

    The hypocrisy dished out when it goes to woman's rights is enough to make you scream. Domestic violence is a big issue in Florida. More police are killed from domestic 911 calls then anything else.
    AprilR
    AprilR
    Same here. A lot of Policemen are killed from domestic violence cases. I think i may have come across too strong but there are abuse victims i know personally too. I get so angry when i think of this.

    Sunday night blues. I have worked all weekend and still couldn't complete my assignments. I will Just have to complete my work tomorrow
    AprilR
    My job makes me feel useful the same way my studies did in the past. I wish i didn't have to feel useful to be happy

    That's always rough really. Finding beauty in a world with a Protestant work ethic is needlessly complicated.

    Okay. Can you give yourself permission to have down time?
    AprilR
    AprilR
    Not this weekend since i have assignments to complete due Monday.but in general yes.

    I really need to learn to drive. My parents are getting older and their house is pretty far from where i live.

    ^ I would fit in better with the boys here. Four wheels and a chassis has been my freedom ever since I was 16 years old.

    It might also be cultural or generational. I don't see women where I live as any more patient to get a driver's license than the men. Most get them when they are 17 (you can start practicing at 16).
    AprilR
    AprilR
    I got my license when i was 18. I just don't drive bc of crazy drivers who don't care about rules. I am also not great at keeping track of too many things at once and i am too scared of accidents
    AprilR
    I will always be like a tourist in my own country. At this point i have accepted that and i am even proud of it. And i am glad to have an analytical and open mind thanks to my autism

    I am glad to have become someone like my father who is one of the best people i know.

    I'm also like a tourist in my own country, and proud of being open-minded and analytical!

    I have never owned a passport, and never felt the need for one. My country is huge and much of it only recently properly explored. I figure that this is not the sense of which you are speaking though. Do you feel like a foreigner in your own country?
    AprilR
    I never thought i would get along with children but my friend's 5 yo loves me for some reason. I am so happy bc of this.

    "I hope i can be a positive figure in her life too." That is a good goal. On Tuesday I have a meeting with the parent of the boy I am matched with as a Big Brother.

    Maybe you’re both on the spectrum and that is why you get along.
    AprilR
    AprilR
    @Kirsty no, not at all. She is a very socially intelligent and empathetic little girl, if anything she is my opposite. Which makes me doubly happy.

    Ahaha i wish. English is not my native language, i meant to say i started watching a New TV show.

    I am so tired i don't even want to go to my therapy appointment today. I just want to sleep

    Therapy is so draining. I understand not wanting to go. Usually better if we do, but it’s so hard sometimes.

    I am physically so tired and sleepy. I wish i could just go home

    Sorry to hear! Hope you aren’t too stressed! I’m always missing deadlines, but it’s not just me, but rather as a team!

    Best piece of advice is to inform your manager in advance and try to present solutions as to the best next steps
    AprilR
    AprilR
    Not an option, i work in a very small office with 5 people and there is no manager. Even my employer doesn't supervise my work anymore.

    I am not that stressed, i was expecting something like this for a while.
