As an autistic person when I first learned about the concept of networking I thought it was highly manipulative and lacking any integrity because what do you mean Iโm expected to know people in order to get a job instead of relying on my experience and work ethic?
Being lowkey mentally insane + abruptly losing a job + living in NYC helped me hit step count levels recently I didn't know I was capable of, even as a pretty seasoned walker. I don't recommend the mental illness or job loss part but walking really does make things feel less bad!
me crying in the middle of the night because i don't understand what im feeling. everything is built up, sadness, anger, and guilt everything feels so heavy
The autistic experience of feeling okay about things and then randomly being hit with a wave of grief over the fact you'll probably always feel different, you'll always struggle and you're not destined for anything greater.
neurodivergent women deserve slow mornings, creative freedom, deep connections, financial independence, a regulated nervous system, space to be fully themselves, and a life that doesn't require them to constantly fucking recover from it.
