Autism

I gave in my "accommodations" form with regard to our new hybrid work policy yesterday in an effort to dodge ever having to go into the office. I've been working from home for 4 years and they want me into the office for 2 days out of the week.

It's expensive, The public transport in my area is infamous at best and the drive is even worse. The office is old and cold. Otherwise, very nice to visit on a day off or something if no one is there and you need to grab a free coffee and just happen to be around. There's only one spot with one type of chair. ^them the reasons I would not want to go to the office at all. I don't need to, they keep telling me my work is more than just fine.

I spoke with a lawyer (oh man), they said I shouldn't refuse like I wanted to because of reasons specific to the labour laws. So I filled it out and then didn't send it in for like a week. I was stressed about it the whole week but I FINALLY SENT IT IN!

Is my username super off putting?

I picked it on a whim, but it seems to have negatively impacted me in the end.

My hips hurt from walking around all day.

And my joints! (insert gimli.jpeg here)

Is it possible to be kind of autistic? I'm getting all these diagnoses and stuff in my thirties, because I seem to have fallen under the radar for a lot of them.

I scored 106 on the RAADS-R score. Where 90 is the point of strong indication for autism and 130 the mean for autistic people.

Like, yes, I have strong special interests, hyperfocus, etc. but I also have ocd and adhd.
People telling me I talk way too fast sometimes, without me noticing, and how it really grinds my gears if people don't take me literally enough or pay attention to what I said/wrote when I carefully chose my words. Especially common with medical professionals, where I tell them I've tried something already and know xyz about it, and they proceed to explain it to me and that I should try it.

There's other stuff as well, but this is of course not a place for diagnosis. :/ I just think that maybe I have it on the lower end of the spectrum, or just some traits. But I've masked generally since early childhood to survive about all kinds of stuff AND put a lot of resources into developing skills/strategies to get better through life with whatever seems to be causing problems.

I went out last night for the first time since the storm, just to the gym and back, and I slipped 5 times. One time pretty badly. It's ridiculous to make us go in when the sidewalks are in this state.
