Been experimenting (gently) with some ChatGPT conversations recently. In the last week since switching insurances, neither of my regular therapists are now available, and although I remain cautious about the risks of interacting with a model designed to assert itself and please the user, I have found some benefits so far through a cautious analysis…

As stress comes in and out of our lives, I feel like its important to remain grounded in the moment, and remember that striving for perfection in all things does not always lead to positive results. We live in a world where we must accept a variety of circumstances, and autism doesn’t have a great…

In May we completed 442 activities, and have been feeling significant stress but also proud of what we are doing. To summarize what our current focuses are we have: Exercise – improved, I’ve been jogging, stretching, and doing pushupsWeight/Diet – while overall average remained stable, gained 4 lbs in the last weekCleaning – decreased from…

Hello world. Cycle 2 of Q2 has come to a close, and it was a busy one. I’ve been feeling quite a bit of stress this month. We had a busy week at work, then I had a challenging time getting my plates swapped over at the DMV, then we had a whirlwind Mother’s Day…

I’ve noticed a couple things recently. One is that at the moment, things tend to lead to other things in my life, particularly fumbled or unskilled things.

Last week I hit 11 lbs over my preferred weight, so far made it back down to 7 lbs over the last few days. Been very attentive to food choices and portion control. Also I’ve been jogging a couple times a week, and its feeling very pleasant to be exercising again. My sleep hygiene has…

We’re back up to 400 activities a month, up from the previous month’s 360. I attribute the dip in activity levels between January and February to be mainly decompression from the holidays and adjustment to implementing the Long Term Planning schedule. Honorable mentions for struggling with food cravings, travel to Istanbul, and dealing with some…

Currently 12 lbs above the weight I ended the medication on. Would prefer to be at 7lbs lower, but we’ve definitely backslid a bit, diet wise. Activity and Long-Term Planning are both looking solid, and I’m extremely pleased to have ended this quarter successfully. Integrating a completely new system into my life has disrupted regular…

Yesterday was, not quite challenging, but overwhelming. I felt a sort of tension of body and mind which seemed to compel me to act against it, or to relieve it. Today I feel vulnerable and in need of something, though I’m not sure what. I was able to spend the evening after work in bed…
