Some people with Autism struggle with humor, because they take things more literal. I like humor, get it most of the time. #DadJokes are the best and so are practical jokes.
Before Covid, I was known for my sense of humor. And then the darkness filled my mind and I lost so much of my humor. Just now it struck me how much I've laughed and joked the last couple of weeks. Could it be my old self is finding it's way home?
Am I finally getting close to kicking that deep depression out the door? Going back to what most people do, just having a random case of the blues now and then? I had a good day yesterday and I'm having one today. Back to back good days??? OMG I might get high on happy!
Maybe my ADHD gives me my humor side more than the autistic side. I'm sure it's the ADHD that has always made me struggle with regulating emotions, just as I struggle to regulate thoughts. All I know is that my humor comes in handy at the group home with diverting behaviors!

I feel a thread coming on. Grab a coffee and your reading glasses. My feels are flowing.

With so much conversation about bias and disclosures I thought maybe it was time to look at my own. Why is the movement to #ChangeTheConversation and save #ABillionLives so important to me?
I chose to enjoy some online interaction with fellow advocates last night and stayed up very late. So I already knew I'd be tired today because of lack of sleep. The little sleep I got was far from restful.
I dreamed I was in a hallway, peeking through the crack in a door. Saying, pleading, yelling...

"Hang in there bud, you got this, come back to us, please don't die! I love you, I'm here, can you hear me? TOM! It's Mom. Please hang in there".

I dreamt it over and over. 😢

This might be today's thread.

I'm working on a project. I'm trying to remember something I read a long time ago, but I can't remember what it was to google it.

ARGH, I hate that.

It was something about how information gets planted in most people's heads.
Let's say you're debunking a myth. I'll make one up.

"Looking at the color blue will make you break out in pimples".
You'll want people to remember the truth, not believe the myth as truth.

What ever it was that I remember reading explained what makes people remember things. (Or I think it was).

When you just blew an hour absentmindedly playing candy crush on your phone (and tweeting a couple of times) until your phone goes dead and then realize you left your charging cord at work this morning. Hmmm which one of my vapes has the right kind of cord?
#ADHD
LOL I just realized I left my SHOES at work, too! I work at a group home and always kick my shoes off inside the door (I hate shoes). I drove to the shop barefoot and have happily been barefoot all day long. OMG good thing the health inspector didn't stop by!
Yes I flew out the door at work. Had a zoom meeting this morning. My pet peeve is to be late. I got to the shop and my computer with 5 minutes to spare, so wasn't late. So good on me! That reminds me, I forgot to move my car, too. Hope I didn't get a parking ticket. OOPPSS!

Threads seems to be my new "thing".

Today's thread is about threading the normal needle.

Throughout my life, I've worked really hard to try to be what I think people feel is normal.

Thread 👇👇👇
I've been called many things during my life.

Some are very positive. Kind, funny, smart, empathetic, enthusiastic, compassionate, eloquent, inquisitive, and giving.

Some were hurtful. Fat, quirky, weird, odd, stupid, ugly, impulsive, rude, stubborn, addict, and strange.
I'm a hardcore people watcher. I just never realized how much I observe others to learn how I should act, react, be, talk, move, interact, and fit in. I didn't realize that people watching is a way to teach myself how to be less quirky (more "normal").

Thanks @lmstroud89 for sending me the story of a mother and her son. Pain knows no income levels. Kids from all walks of life experience pain. Some of the pain is so deep, those kids need an out. It breaks my heart this happens to so many of our kids. (Links in the comments)
