✨It's Okay That Disability Isn't a Superpower✨ (Patreon)

A part of being autistic that's very testing is constantly being exhausted. Just from daily rituals, talking, masking, putting on a face and performing 'normality'. I'm not here to compete or contrast with anyone else's experience. It's just mine and I find it hard.

I am never not tired. And I know that's true for a lot of people. And in my downtime, often I'm too exhausted to read or watch tv or even play on my phone. So, I clean myself, I shut my blinds and I just lay in bed - because I am a fat 2002 laptop that has 50 tabs open all at once.

And that's okay. That's my experience and I just have to do what I have to do. And that's true for you too.

So, don't worry if what you're going through isn't quirky or fun or fashionable. I have never been any of those things and I still have worth - to my dogs, my family, and mostly importantly to me.

You don't always have to see the good in things. Sometimes, it's really helpful to say - this isn't great.
