Vlog 3 - How I'm doing Sept 2023

Still waiting/working to get an autism diagnostic appointment for myself. So, decided to talk about where things are at in my life right now.
Jobs haven't been working out.
I'm at home caretaker, daddy daycare, and homeschool teacher for my boys. The internet can get passionate and unkind on both sides of the homeschool topic. I'll talk more about our situation another time. I will say that presently we don't have a choice.
Emotionally I'm having a hard time right now.
Self-care doesn't feel nice for me right now like it used to. It's just sort of actions I go through.
Coping skills don't feel like they're doing anything right now either.
I've decided I want to put my time and energy into creating resources to make things easier for families of and individuals with special needs to do various things. By that I don't mean how to get help from schools or therapists etc. I'm aimed towards activities, projects that save money, etc. There's enough out there about psychology or sociology from people far better suited for it.
Next week, I'll talk about my talking speed, how I talk isn't comfortable for me, what speed of talking is comfortable for me, why I usually talk this speed, and stuff like that.
That's a huge amount about me. How are all of you doing? Feel free to let me know down in the comments.
Don't forget! You are loved (platonically) by me, especially if no one has told you recently. You are important and I'm glad you're here. You matter, and you always will.

Hi from the UK. Just stumbled on your channel - good videos.
I'm not sure where I fit on the neurotypical/neurodivergent line but I've always found new or busy/noisy environments difficult where other people don't. I've realised over the years just how different people's perceptions and world views really are, based on their actions and responses to situations. This awareness can have an isolating effect if there isn't a meeting of minds. Hope you manage to find some answers to things.

Thank you for watching. I'm glad you like the videos so far.
It is a struggle, for me at least, with not knowing where I fit on that line. I'm starting to see how diverse perceptions and even internal experiences of the same situations can be from person to person. Like with your findings it's been very eye-opening. Your difficulties with new, busy, and noisy environments is very relatable, to me at least.
Very much appreciate your well wishes. Thank you for commenting.
