Diary of an ASD Squirrel. Day 144 , Wednesday 20/03/2024
TL:DR My hermit like tendencies are creeping back ; Yay for a clean coffee machine ; Who knew I was an anti-social git with all the subtly of a brick 😆 ;Will I ever forgive me? Stay tuned to future episodes !
Quiet day today, seems to be my SOP at the moment.
Hiding mode is starting to be engaged, why I’m not entirely sure.
Cleaned the coffee machine & zapped the shower cubicle with a weak bleach solution to combat the mould that has got a foothold while I’ve been ill.
Will try & finish cleaning the rest of the shower tomorrow.
Played some NMS this afternoon. Need to choose a new book !
Late this afternoon I got the ASD Assessment report that has been sent to my GP.
Whilst I did pursue this route & do see in myself a number of ASD traits the things the Psychiatrist picked up on while we were talking are disconcerting to say the least!
I hadn’t realised my social interaction was quite that lacking, but I guess there are some aspects of human communication and interaction that one cannot learn by mimicking others.
Sufficed to say , when I applied for the Pre-Sales tech consultant role, a move that ended my professional career, I never stood a Squirrel in Hell’s chance !
I will need to read this assessment several times for the full implications to become clear!
We settled down to watch TV with our tea when herself finished work, I did the dishes as per, then I went to change the hand towel & tea towel in the kitchen, only to find that herself had mixed them up when she put them away after they had been washed. This may seem trivial, but things like this trigger me because it’s not ‘right’.
When things aren’t ‘right’ it is physically & mentally distressing. I guess this is my ASD expressing itself.
So now I’m tired & triggered & wanting to hide. Can’t wait for her to desert me & bugger off upstairs!
Final Thoughts.
Wow, it comes as a shock to realise , at 56 , just how poorly one fits in with NT society. I have (not surprisingly given recent revelations) never been a ‘people person’ I am utterly at sea with subtle body language & can only really recognise emotions when they are unambiguous & out in the open.
I wonder how long it will take for me to forgive myself for not being a greater success professionally, given what I am now coming to understand about myself?
I wonder if I will ever move away from being my own worst critic ?
On a positive note I can now tell my Dad that my shit school reports were not all down to laziness !

Diary of an ASD Squirrel. Day 142 , Tuesday 19/03/2024
TL:DR Peace reigns & rainbows chase a squirrel home to some Masto banter!
Up at 6am, made breakfast, bid herself farewell as she trundled off to the office.
Thank Nuggan , a peaceful day !
I planned a longer walk , out to the village at the top of the hill to the west of us, via the longer, but somewhat less steep route.
It was a beautiful sunny morning as I left the house so I forsook my jacket & went adorned in sweatshirt , hat & scarf (yes & pants @Rasta & @dgar et al ! )
As I approached the 1km crossroads , about ⅓ of the way to the village the sky got steadily more ominous, initially I thought I could make it then I saw the rainbow!
Rainbows are beautiful miracles of physics, and we get some corkers in the valley, but when you see one fronting a deep bank of black clouds with the rising sun illuminating it from the east, you know it signifies a rain front!
I hate rain, truly , I would be a deeply happy bunny if meteorologists could persuade it just to rain while I sleep! So routing plans changed & I retraced my steps & took a detour around my basic short route around the playing fields. As the walk brought round thru the points of the compass I found myself facing west again with the rainbow , considerably closer!
Given that I knew there was rain involved here I quickened my steps & for the first time (that I remember) I was chased home by a rainbow ! 🌈
Cleaned the bathroom - except the shower, that will need a special effort tomorrow when I have the spoons !
Read a while , then a little ESO .
Had a bit of a decent laugh with some of the lovely folks on here throughout the day , which lifted my mood no end.
Final Thoughts.
The injury to my right foot has re-surfaced, which is a bit of a blow.
Hey ho onwards !

Diary of an ASD Squirrel. Day 141 , Monday 18/03/2024
TL:DR Walkies, gaming & and bit of family interaction!
Up at 6am , it being a school day n all (for her not me).
Went for a walk this morning, it was sunny & I thought it would do me good. It was an exercise in doing exercise, I came back as down as I left only now I’m exhausted & down. I know that I need to exercise but I wish I could find something to bring joy to my life again.
I need something good to look forward to.
Had a call from my brother this afternoon which cheered me up no end !
Had a bit of a nerdy end to the afternoon re-speccing my main character in ESO.
Final Thoughts.
The black dog is lurking in the background , trying to get me to give in & give up. So far I have resisted !

Diary of an ASD Squirrel. Day 141 , Sunday 17/03/2024
TL:DR Sunday, what more do you need to know 😊
A nice relaxed day, including a trip down to Costco.
The problem with Costco is not the crowds it’s the lights - I don’t know what they use but they always make me feel awful! Dizzy, nauseous & generally yuck. I wonder if it’s an ASD sensory thing ?
Had a Ghostbusters mini fest this afternoon , parts 2 & 3. Very enjoyable 😆
Given that I am currently pursuing Project Woof I absolutely didn’t buy a rotisserie chicken at Costco & definitely didn’t make a delicious gravy with the juices & totally didn’t have chicken n chips for my tea 😆 (🤞)
Final Thoughts.
Weekends are both too long & too short !

Diary of an ASD Squirrel. Day 140 , Saturday 16/03/2024
TL:DR Classic Saturday!
After yesterday’s excitement today was a much quieter.
Up at 7am , breakfast, usual chores , vacuumed the living room carpet - got a whole other cats worth of fur in the cylinder! 🙄
The day passed uneventfully , herself brought me an egg n cress sarnie from Morrisons I think. I’m not sure what the ingredients had done to whoever made that sandwich , but they had a major axe to grind ! I’ve had less crunchy biscuits !
Finished the evening watching Ghostbusters - we’re gonna have a fest as there is a 5th movie in the franchise coming along .
Final Thoughts.
Who yer gonna call??? Nut busters! 😆

Diary of an ASD Squirrel. Day 139 , Friday 15/03/2024
TL:DR Got up, got diagnosed as ASD! Booze & a bit of murder & mayhem !
So we move to a new beginning, life as a diagnosed Neurodivergent (I like the term Neuro Spicy , so guess what I’ll be using from now on😆 ) Autistic, would be Squirrel! (Squirrel diagnosis coming soon! 😜😂 ).
To start at the beginning…
Woke up just before the alarm went off at 6am, leapt athletically (or is that arthritically ) out of bed , yelped as I landed on my currently buggered right foot, took 5 paces , remembered my watch (gotta catch all those pesky steps ! )hopped back to bed , put my watch on then set out again! Did what I needed to & headed down to make breakfast.
I was anxious as hell, the last 138 days (give or take) have been leading to today , what if , in my SOP , I messed up, forgot important stuff , hid underneath the desk (oh yes that was defo on the cards! ). Eeek !
Got my act into gear after breakfast, did my chores & then headed back upstairs to start to prepare for the Diagnostic Assessment at 10:45.
Tidied my desk (i.e. hid everything that was on the desk under the desk) , made my bed , dusted the room to within an inch of its life!
The clock hit 7:45am …. Bugger what to do for the next 3 hours ! Could not settle, nothing appealed & what was worse, the appointment still showed as ‘provisional’ without a video conference link or anything !
Herself buggered off to work at 8am, so now I’m on my own, anxiety levels raising, brain running in a 1000 directions ! I was like a bluebottle banging against the kitchen window on a sunny day !
At 10:30 I gave up on getting notification of the meeting & started planning how to arrange a new appointment.
At 10:46 I got a text with a link for the Assessment !!
Apparently there had been tech issues that they managed to fix, just in time !
I won’t bore you with the details of the assessment, other than to say that I had 2 Consultants & student( observing). After 50 minutes the questions stopped & Ian, the lead Consultant , told me that he was sure that I had Autism & would be writing to my GP to advise them. He also suggested that there was evidence that I might have ADHD too!
There was another 10 minutes or so of ‘next steps’ stuff, talk of a couple more assessments etc, then we were done !
Finished the day with a kebab pizza (truly sitting on the fence there ! ) & a few drinks to celebrate getting this far , along with a couple of episodes of ‘Silent Witness’
Final Thoughts.
I am happy & I am relieved! 56 years & 138 days have lead to this diagnosis , now I have a name to put to that which makes me different.
After all this time I can actually start to look, with confidence , at ways to open a Squirrel shaped hole in the world for me to exist in.
I am not naive enough to thing that that new path ahead of me will be any easier than the path has behind me has been, but I look at the world with fresh eyes & fresh insight, so maybe life will become something to look forward to rather than something to regret !

Diary of an ASD Squirrel. Day 137 , Wednesday 13/03/2024
Bit better weather for walking this morning, I left early because I needed to be outside & on my own.
Walked up to the village again , 3.6km in just under an hour, but I did stop a couple of times.
After cleaning up after herself I finally got breakfast just after 9.
Watched ‘The Martian’ one of my top movies, especially when I’m down.
Finished the afternoon with a bit of an NMS session, noticed that , on my main save, I have 4.5 billion credits ! I’m a billionaire 😜😂
Final Thoughts.
I’m getting more an more anxious about Friday, & simultaneously getting more & more reclusive.
I need to get my desk cleared again tomorrow - it may be a case of chucking all the junk on the floor out of sight!

Diary of an ASD Squirrel. Day 136 , Tuesday 12/03/2024
Managed to get out for a walk this morning , a shorter one as it was pissing down with rain. Just 2.6km but still enough for 30 minutes worth of decent exercise.
I have been on my own today, very on my own, I avoided & was avoided by all those I know.
I have a horrible feeling that I may have to go back on the dreaded anti-d meds, they make me feel sluggish & brain dead , but they do allow me to better integrate with society, although I’m no longer sure if that is my goal.
Finished the 2nd ,solo, run thru of the NMS Omega expedition, now all I have to do is figure out how to get the goodies back to my primary save !
Bit of TV & a bit of ESP & then off to bed.

Diary of an ASD Squirrel. Day 135 , Monday 11/03/2024
TL:DR Whoosh, Project WOOF is off again! ; Meteorologists need to become better models ! (Sorry need to devise better models 😆 ) ; Oh my friends 🫶 🫂; cleaning wash basins stinks ! ; ASD ASSESSMENT !!!!! (Yes I know what 5 exclamation marks indicates 😆 )
Project WOOF is back on track with me walking up the hill to the village , a steep climb , all road work , 3.25KM round trip.
It’s a hard walk if one hasn’t done it in a while & I can still feel it in my legs now, but I did it & whats more I only bounced off the 165bmp limit I have set to try & avoid heart problems a couple of times.
Sadly I was let down by the meteorologists , they all promised a dry day - nope it rained , in fact it rained on the way back while the wind was blowing in my face ! As you might be able to tell I’m n
o a big fan of walking (or indeed singing!) in the rain!
Bit of worry fest as my besties Lab - Arwen -was in the vet to have a minor op, my bestie was worried therefore so was I! It all ended well ultimately , but there was a low level tension thru the day.
In addition one of my other very good friends is having somewhat of a tough week (to say the least! ) & although they are putting a brave face on I feel for them.
Watched Gadfather Pt 2 this afternoon , leaving pt 3 for tomorrow.
The blinking bathroom sink decided to play silly buggers around 3ish, so I spent a merry hour or so cleaning the relevant parts - YUCK !
Major news came in late this afternoon, I have an appointment on the 15th - Friday - for my ASD assessment!
OMG ! It’s all suddenly real!
Final Thoughts.
The logical part of me knows that there is no ‘wrong’ outcome from Friday, either I am on the spectrum or I’m not. The part of me that claims to be ASD is going nuts at this evaluation of the situation, accusing me of being a fraud if the Consultant Psychiatrist deems me not to have ASD. This is days before the actual assessment & I feel I’m being unfair to myself & should demand a re-trial!
I doubt I will sleep well tonight.

Diary of an ASD Squirrel. Day 133 , Saturday 09/03/2024
TL:DR When this word is too much I like to retire to worlds of imagination where all things are possible.
Up around 7:30 as herself allowed us a lay in .
After breakfast herself went shopping & I did various chores.
I had hoped to have a co-op NMS session today, but that never transpired.
Really wasn’t in the mood for solo gaming , so ended up listening to Beethoven & reading ‘Reaper Man’, retreating to comfortable , known worlds to hide away from this one.
Had an egg buttie for lunch - the first for ages , yummy !
Spent the afternoon on a Supernatural binge , followed by an old favourite of herself - ‘The Mask of Zorro’.
Final Thoughts.
Sometimes a path one is walking on in life leads nowhere or at least not where one thought it was going.

Diary of an ASD Squirrel. Day 132 , Friday 08/03/2024
TL:DR Walking is on the way to becoming a daily thing. I realised today that folks I have told about being ASD are avoiding me !
Overslept this morning , managed to catch herself in passing as she left the house to go to the office.
Is it the sign of a healthy relationship that we see each other for about 3 hours a day, even when she’s working from home.
Went for a walk again today - got a new ‘short’ route to go fwd with. At 2.5km - about 4500 steps - it’s not dead long but there is a mix of terrain & some steep bits so it’s not a bad route at all. It should be fairly picturesque in the right conditions (so long as I look away from the new new housing estate! )
I have discovered something disconcerting, not upsetting per-se but defo disconcerting.
With the exception of the lovely Peeps on Mastodon, most of the older people I have told about my ASD have not been in touch since I told them.
I know a number of people on here are actively resisting assessment because of the fear of stigmatism but that has never been a problem for me (& still isn’t ). I am surprised at the fact that (in the case of my Uncle & Aunt & my Dad) folks that have known me literally all my life now want even less to do with me than they did before.
I’m a loner, always have been (with the exception of herself) , so never been that close to my family , certainly not since I moved away from my parents, but to not hear from any of the seniors (or indeed my friend across the road , who I told a few weeks ago) is, as I say, disconcerting.
Despite others reactions I am steadfast in my resolve to get a proper diagnostic assessment ,I NEED to know . Bollocks to what others think. If they think that I am suddenly different because I know why I am the way I am then that is on them!
Watched ‘The Godfather’ for the very first time (yes I know ! ) I can see why it is something of a cult movie.
Got Parts 2 & 3 on my movie radar.
Managed to squeeze in an hour or so of NMS in, wanted to finish Phase 2 of the rerun of Omega but got distracted , so I now have objectives in every phase complete , but only phase 1 completely finished.
Watching ‘Silent Witness’ with the help of a couple of pints of cider & a pizza.
Final Thoughts:
We like to think that 2024 western civilisation has reached the point where things like mental health stigmatisation are in the past. Sadly this is not the case.

Diary of an ASD Squirrel. Day 131 , Thursday 07/03/2024
TL:DR
Same old same old.
Walkies today was a longer variation on yesterdays’ variation - I think I have a new route for my daily perambulation! 2.5km in 32 minutes . Pity the weather was misty & really cold !
Herself was out most of the day , so one less source of triggering !
Gaming & reading took up the rest of the day.
Final Thoughts.
I’m not sure why I’m keeping this up. It’s boring me let alone anyone else.

Diary of an ASD Squirrel. Day 128 , Monday 04/03/2024
TL:DR House elf, but not house elf enuf it seems.
Up around 6, made breakfast, emptied the dishwasher , hung the laundry out & then managed to get out for a walk.
Got home to find that herself had been down while I was out & made her mid-morning snack , leaving me the cleaning up to do. I really don’t mind housework, but I object to being taken for granted & treated like staff!
Really struggled to find the motivation to do anything for most of the rest of the day.
Managed to get into ESO a little bit late this afternoon.
Reading Masto this evening while watching the TV & a person I thought of as a friend essentially accused me of being lazy today, which kinda hurt.
I know that I have motivational problems & that for various reasons I have not been super active over the last 6 months or so , but I do try to at least do the minimum to keep house n home together. I have yet to have a full week where I can completely turn off - even when I have been quite seriously ill !
I know there is so much more that I have to do, but I am trying !
Sufficed to say that our relationship is changed as of now. 😔
Reading this has really brought my mood down.
I also caved to another pizza - which I didn’t really enjoy , so major failure!
Final Thoughts.
I generally have a very low self image , today a ‘friend’ successfully dropped it several pegs lower.

Diary of an ASD Squirrel. Day 126 , Saturday 02/03/2024
TL:DR NMS co-op , cleaning , ESO & Chinese - what more could a Squirrel want!
Much better day today.
Co-op with @PlaystationPixy was highly enjoyable, we smashed the NMS Omega Expedition, 2 final objectives to achieve & we are done !!
Then after a quick trip round the lounge and living room with the vacuum cleaner , then ESO to change the mood slightly - dungeons are now a daily thing - ‘a random dungeon a day keeps the depression away ’ 😊
An afternoon watching Supernatural (with limited ads - Nuggan I hate you Amazon you greedy corporate gits! ).
Then finished the evening with a Chinese takeaway & the movie ‘Man of the Year’ with one of my all time favourite actors Robin Williams.
Final Thoughts.
Life is a seesaw one day you’re down the next you’re up !

Diary of an ASD Squirrel. Day 125 , Friday 01/03/2024
TL:DR Mood at limbo dancers level. The Muse strikes back - a sad alternative to the more famous movie.
I’m slowly losing the fight on the fitness front. Depression is winning & I am reaching the point where I basically don’t care if I’m overweight & my BMI is around 3million!
I had so many plans at the start of the year - it’s now March & I am treading water at best.
I have fantasies of going home & living with my Dad, but that is a pipe dream. We are VERY different people. We have both let each other down in many ways . My Mum was the arbitrator, but she is gone 😞 never to return.
I could go live with my siblings, but what right have I got to intrude on their lives ?
So we are left with the status quo, & me slowly descending into Dantes world.
How many rum n drys are too many ?
The three things that need to converge for me to be mugged by my muse happened this evening:
I need to have an inspiration- in this case my comment on Dante in this diary entry.
A deep well of emotion- oh that well is SO deep at the moment!
A brewery full of alcohol - the muse loves me best when I’m drunk!
I have been hoping for inspiration to strike for a couple of weeks , I wish that it had been a happier subject, but the muse dictates !
A link to the result is attached at the end of this entry.
Final Thoughts.
When you’re a PDD / chronic depression sufferer you cannot tell when you will be tipped over the edge, you just know that it is always lurking around the next corner, or the one after that.
I have this really strange relationship with poetry, I cannot force myself to write, & I can only write ‘in the moment’ because of memory issues. What you see is what I experienced at time of writing.

Diary of an ASD Squirrel. Day 124 , Thursday 29/02/2024
TL;DR. Blood test was the highlight of the day !
Off to the Dr.s this AM for a blood test - & yes I passed , I do have real blood ! 😆
My veins were very shy this morning & the phlebotomist had to try 3 times to get one of the pesky little buggers !
I sorted out the underwear wash & actually spent a little time in the ‘soon to be decorated’ front bedroom, starting to divest it of all the junk that has built up over the last year while I haven’t been on top form.
I’m working on the ‘spend 5 or 10 minutes a day ‘ process in there because it is a huge job & I need to package it into manageable bits - which at the moment are tiny, but at least some progress was made.
It would obviously help if herself would give me a hand, but I think Climate Change will be resolved before that happens !
Had a decent ESO session & read some ‘Reaper Man’ this afternoon. Did another dungeon, that’s 2 in a row ! I’ll be socialite of the year at this rate ! 😆
Watched a thing about Ben Fogle following in the footsteps of Scott’s first expedition to the South Pole, which was interesting.
Now off to do a little more ESO .
Final Thoughts.
Let’s see if they spend the next 6 weeks pestering me to come in & find out what my blood test showed - really they asked for it , unless I’m dying of CJD or something then I really don’t care!

Diary of an ASD Squirrel. Day 122 , Wednesday 28/02/2024
TL:DR Shorn the Squirrel, gaming & frustrations.
So this morning went unexpectedly wrong.
Got up around 6ish as per, breakfast, cleaning up after herself etc.
Decided it was time to trim my hair, I was actually getting to the stage of having to spend whole minutes washing it ! (I know! But when it’s nice & short I can just show it the bottle ! )
The hair trimming went fine, but when I was cleaning the trimming head one of the blades popped out!
This has happened before, I thought “ok 10 minute job” oh how naive !
The flipping spring that holds the top blade against the bottom one popped off - it is shaped like the horns of a bull & is a bar steward to get back in!
30 minutes later I managed to get the thing seated & then finished off the repair.
I keep some of the small tools - small screwdrivers, probes etc in a repurposed small clear plastic zip up bag - originally for a travel wash kit I think , as I went to zip it up the zip came off !
I tried for another 15 minutes to get the little sod fixed, but it wasn’t having it ! So the search is on for a 6” longish , fairly shallow ,reasonably small container.
The highlight of the day was a brief co-op session with @PlaystationPixy , sadly she was in some pain because of the cold & we called it a day after doing a slightly frustrating objective in phase 4 of the Omega expedition in NMS. I stay on a while longer after CDP 🧚♀️ had gone to get her head down , & managed to lay the foundations for completing Phase 4 the next time we play together.
Almost all the neutral entries in the chart I shared the other day are due to Cynni picking my mood up & giving it a good shake 😊 , she is a proper bestie 🤗.
Hit ESO this afternoon , played a public dungeon for the first time in 15 years! It was ok, I play a stealth archer/assassin & certainly on this dungeon earned my pay ! I was quite pleased with myself 😊
This evening has been challenging for various reasons that I won’t bore you with, sufficed to say roast squirrel was on the menu again!
Final Thoughts.
I made a decision 24 years ago that is haunting me everyday , day in, day out. There are very few options available to deal with the consequences , none of them particularly palatable.
Hey ho tomorrow is another day.

Diary of an ASD Squirrel. Day 122 , Tuesday 27/02/2024
TL:DR breakfast, movie , ESO , tea , ultimately bed.
Leapt semi athletically out of bed this morning , then had to crawl back because I had forgotten my watch 🙄🤦♂️ That’s 10 steps that will be lost to history !
Breakfast , then chores , including cleaning the bathroom.
Then watched the Directors Cut of Leon - all the way thru ! Which is an improvement !
Some ESO then ‘cooked’ tea - back on the diet again.
Final Thoughts.
Oh to be like Michael Palin & have things to write about !

Diary of an ASD Squirrel. Day 120 , Sunday 25/02/2024
TL:DR Sunday & the long , dark teatime of the soul!
Ach I’m not brave enough to say what I wanted to say, so we’ll go with the usual.
Up at 6 initially, chatted with CDP 🧚♀️ for a little while then dozed off till 8.
Had a nice NMS co-op session with my bestie which cheered up an otherwise banal day.
Spent the afternoon watching ‘Payback ‘ (the tv series as opposed to the movie) , I really wish I had the energy & motivation to do more, I feel like such a lazy git !
I desperately want a takeaway for my tea, but I am also well aware of my weight issues & recent lack of exercise so I will try my hardest to keep to a more healthy diet & resist the temptation !
Ended up compromising and making an emergency stew from a tin of stewing steak, a tin of mushrooms & some sweetcorn. It was ok with a bread roll. Hell knows how many killer calories there were .
Final Thoughts.
How do you like your squirrel - lightly roasted ?
I hope to try & get out for a walk tomorrow if the weather is nice 🤞

TL:DR A nice quiet Saturday.
Up around 7ish , breakfast & chores.
Then had a good couple of hours playing NMS with @PlaystationPixy , we polished of several objectives for the expedition , but we need to try & get her a better ship!
Had another Supernatural fest this afternoon & we are currently watching a movie called ‘Eastern Promises’ it’s not bad.
Final Thoughts.
Quiet days are good for the soul!
