I am in Australia, and I had an NDIS cleaner. she used to come once a week and my house was mostly pretty clean. I lost her, and now I have to apparently do the cleaning myself. I really am incapable of doing it. They told me that I am physically capable of doing it, so i have to do it. I can’t do it. My house is a fucking mess. stupid government. Anyone have any suggestions? Like to get over the executive dysfunction crap? I tried habitica, and it worked for a short while, but now I’m back to chronic ED.
thanks.
Figure out what’s eating you and deal with it. There’s always something. There’s always a path forwards out of every bind you can get in, you just have to find it by knowing yourself. I don’t know what flavor of autism you are, but a lot of artists I know have issue feeling their feelings, which is the first step to unclogging yourself.
I also have trouble feeling my feelings. I can identify the most basic of basic ones, like scared, or depressed, but that’s about it. I have tried working on that with therapists and shit, but i never have been able to identify what I’m feeling. So… that sucks.
lot of autists have good experience dealing with this with the help of psychoactive substance, not sure of the law/access to that in austrailia but stuff like a small dose of shrooms/weed/lsd etc. in combination with therapy has been shown to work wonders untangling the mess of internal problems we seem to have. a really good therapist/pyschiatrist should be open to the idea
unfortunately, all that stuff is illegal here, and I don’t want no drug charges :/
it’s illegal in most of the states but you can normally find a therapist/pyschiatrist open to it, if they’re familiar with the studies showing effectiveness
