Love your tracker. I had a student colour petals on a flower to show how they feel over a month. It really helped them realise that its not always bad, its a great idea for those who catastrophise. Love that you are recording other factors like alcohol too! Really good to see if these things are affecting us negatively! ✌️💗
Hello. This might be abit off topic but recently I have been thinking a lot about energy and how I never have any. I have never been an energetic person and often need to nap in the day. The only time I feel like getting stuff done is in the morning after a full nights sleep. The amount of activities my NT friends cram into a day is unthinkable to me. I just wondered how common this is for ppl with autism. Like us. I have a good diet and sleep ok. Could it be autism low level burn out? Does anyone else feel like this? Thanks for reading x
It's possible, but it also could be a physical health issue. I would visit a Dr if possible just to check as things like low iron can do this too. BUT it's also very possible it could be due to Autism, and could be supported with accommodations and strategies to make life more manageable 🫶🫶
I don't get it. perhaps if there were specific real life directives indicated by various color schemes and patterns as they emerge, maybe if this were gameified ... as such it seems more like a tool for those less present to mood & emotion. I feel I would need specific actions, or intentions included make it growth oriented. But that could just be me because I have a relatively good memory for my moods on a month-to-month basis. Ii'm more curious about my annual or semiannual patterns rather than daily / weekly which tend to stay fresh in my mind. ?perhaps in part because I take a lot of photos and videos and I tend to look back over them so it keep me present to a lot of my mood-memories .
