I have a friend who did an Autism assessment, the result of which was, to paraphrase: If you were assessed as a child, you almost certainly would've been diagnosed with Asperger's. But you've developed sufficient coping skills to avoid being diagnosed at this point in your life. Isn't that basically saying: yes you broke your leg, but you spent years fashioning a splint out of a log, so you can kinda walk now, so your leg isn't really broken anymore? #ActuallyAutistic #Neurodivergent

@actuallyautistic@a.gup.pe @actuallyadhd@a.gup.pe I expect most neurodivergent folk can relate to this: whenever I have an idea for a project, I have an initial phase of excitement. Yes, I can do this! Love this idea!

Then my brain spins off in a hundred different directions, identifying all the complexities and things I have to think about and all the work involved and all the ways it could go wrong.

I feel WAY overwhelmed before I've even started, and it just takes the wind right out of my sails. Now I'm overwhelmed and stressed and this doesn't sound interesting or exciting at all.

The obvious answer is break it down into smaller, manageable pieces. What other ideas or strategies might help alleviate this overwhelm?
