Slow Motion Crash.

Originally posted 4th December 2023 on my NeuroDiversity University Facebook page.

I process everything a bit delayed.

I process how my body feels physically. Delayed.

I process loved ones emotions. Delayed.

I process my own emotions. Delayed.

I process body pain. Delayed.

It's like a slap in the face. A surprise.

I'm Autistic. I don't like Surprises.

Every single time this delay happens and every single time it is a surprise. Even though this happens and should not be a surprise.

If I'm asked yesterday, 'Are you ok' - my response is a big fat genuine 'Yes'.

It is my deep Truth. Yesterday.

And then the crash and slap and wallop and catch up.

So today is a duvet day. It's a crash, slap, wallop day. A catch up day.

Apologies world.

Nowt is happening here today.

NeuroWild  I see you aren't ok today. Huge hugs. A comment someone wrote on your post was beautiful. So I'm following their advice too, and checking in with my own body.

Note to all, my belief is that the delay is because I experience everything big. Too big to handle, and deeply, so it takes longer. Many times big is fab. Not today.

No spoonage to expand on that, there's proper written stuff about it somewhere.
