Since my recent autism diagnosis I’ve had a lot to process.

Since my last journal things have continued to feel bleary. I had a week of feeling positively in mid December, but most of the time before and afterwards I’ve been treading water. I can congratulate myself on an especially productive few weeks of December, and even though I anticipated bringing the week of the Holidays…
