DEVASTATING the lyric you've been mishearing is better than the real one
if you tag me in a chain post and i don’t do it it’s not because i hate you it’s because i am very lazy. i love you thank you for tagging me.
it's not "am I good enough to do it?", it's "do I like it enough to be bad at it?"

Treat your meltdowns and shutdowns as medical events.
That is not a request or a suggestion.
Autistic meltdowns and shutdowns are extremely taxing, both mentally and physically.
When you have them, if you can take the next day off work or school, do so. You need it to rest and recover from the event.
If you need to give a reason, say it’s a migraine. People take migraines seriously and won’t give you shit for it. Whatever reason you need to give, you need the time off.
Doing this will go a long ways towards preventing burnout and just fostering overall health.
Same goes for non-autistic anxiety and panic attacks, honestly.
Just because it doesn’t seem physical doesn’t mean that it’s not. Meltdowns are a physiological event. Treat them as such.
"A certain critic—for such men, I regret to say, do exist—made the nasty remark about my last novel that it contained 'all the old Wodehouse characters under different names.' He has probably now been eaten by bears, like the children who made mock of the prophet Elisha: but if he still survives he will not be able to make a similar charge against Summer Lightning. With my superior intelligence, I have outgeneralled this man by putting in all the old Wodehouse characters under the same names. Pretty silly it will make him feel, I rather fancy."
