Currently, I can't bear reading about other people getting their autism diagnosis. Some even started the whole process way later than me. I am happy for them, but then the trauma I got from my diagnostics interview resurfaces again. I got the "you're empathic, you can talk, you don't have autism, you have social anxiety, just do therapy"-scenario.
I am on a waiting list for another diagnostic center, it will cost me money this time, the most I have ever paid for any kind of health stuff. The other center is supposed to be better with diagnosing people who mask, so there is some hope. But I am so tired of waiting. I know self-diagnosis is valid, even my psychiatrist told me so, but I still want it to be "official", otherwise I will always doubt my own judgement. So, waiting mode it is, for another 6-8 months or so. 😔

Just watched Oppenheimer. It felt like a three hour zoom meeting at work, only getting a bit of life thanks to the labrador getting into the picture (Albert Einstein) and a big bomb in the middle of the meeting. Otherwise rambling and ramblings by old men who I don't care about. This could have been an e-mail.

So, a woman from the German rich people party said that our chancellor is unreachable and has "almost autistic traits" because (according to her) he doesn't communicate with the citizens and hasn't social contacts in the political sphere. Don't know about that. I'm not a fan of our chancellor, but wow, using "autistic traits" as an insult... And this woman candidates for the European parliament. Hope she and her party of heartless money lovers will fail hard. #actuallyautistic

@Cassandra it is also standard in Germany, but I think our chancellor may be even more uncommunicating than others (I personally dislike him, I once met him during work, and he was very arrogant). But probably the woman was frustrated because her party and his party form the government and have a lot of beef. No excuse to use Autism as an insult though.

blue, to books

Currently re-reading Robin Hobb's Farseer Books (The Realm of the Elderlings). I started reading the series in 2003, the series finished in 2017.
So I kind of grew up with the characters, it is different compared to binge-reading a series in a short time. Now I am revisiting the books and the characters, Fitz and my beloved Fool just being young children, not having endured all the trauma yet. Let's see if the books will still be so magical to me 20 years later 😃
