Not me (self diagnosed ASD), but it fits my wife to a T. It's been quite the journey for both of us to learn how to accommodate when different "parts" of the brain are in control.
I can relate so much! I’m trying to figure that out too with my husband. Needs a lot of love and understanding and patience. Good luck to you two!
Thanks, same to you! We've been on this journey for a few years now, and the biggest things that have made a difference are communicating (particularly about when we're feeling over / under stimulated) and actively working managing executive function blocks. I.e., "spoon theory".
At the moment we're getting pre-made meals delivered instead of trying to meal prep, since we save money on going out when we don't manage to complete meal prep, which has the added benefits of reducing the "spoons" cost of grocery shopping / meal prep and freeing up those "spoons" for things like exercise.
