a lot of things I recognize pretty easily and are pretty sensitive too, however for me it’s my social tired meter. It’s taken me a long time after finding out that i’m Autistic to start recognizing patterns that I may need to step away. Another thing is physical pain, it’s really hard for me to exercise and stuff because I can’t ever tell if i’m pushing myself enough, too much, or not enough.
I resonate with both of these. It’s been wild in recent months learning to listen more to myself and give myself permission to say no to socializing or to remove myself when I need to. I steeled myself to more pushback even than I’ve received.
