The Road to Health is a Bumpy One | Porch Coffee

Welcome to our Weekly Porch Coffee. This week I started focusing on my physical health journey once again. Like many others I struggle to find consistency, often doing well for months on end just to halt progress entirely. As usual, the struggle to find balance in anything is.... a struggle. But, instead of giving up, I am going to give myself grace and keep working on it. I also discuss a few other topics like the podcast and what videos I would like to start making again, and an upcoming yarn sale to which I look forward with much excitement and anticipation. Welcome to porch coffee.

Last week was both overwhelming and life changing. I received my official Autism diagnosis. Although my diagnostician told me early on in the the prosess that is was obvious I was on the spectrum, it still hit me so hard the last session when he sed it out loud. Now I am recovering from a mild burnout but feel relieved and proud 🙂. Your videos have helped me a lot during the process Claire, thank you for wat you do!

Have a wonderful, joyful time at the sale - we need to find our serotonin wherever we can. I went to an exhibition of Japanese kimonos yesterday. Used up loads of spoons, but it was worth it. The embroidery and painting were absolutely gorgeous. Reviving myself with a pyjama day today.

I'm at a point on my ASD journey where I am feeling very isolated, these Monday morning videos are helping me feel less alone so thank you! Also, I totally get what you mean about looking after yourself. Sometimes things just get too overwhelming and I shut down and can't look after myself the best way that I should!

Spilled and spilt are both acceptable versions of the past tense of to spill x

I have adhd and asd. My autism loves a schedule. My adhd refuses to keep it. I always start and stop things.

When you talk about something you're passionate about time flies

You are an artist at heart and yarn, whether in your storage or in something you are making, is your art 😊

[@freecat1278]

Yay, proprioception. Yay, yarn.

Our HVAC didn't survive the first heatwave of the year. My kind does not fare well in the heat. I can't wait to see the next yarn haul and re-name all of the colors! Don't comment, just buy more yarn!

[@Pete_1972]

I’m sure you said half of a Nile. That’s a LOT of yarn! I’m kidding…an aisle obviously 😆

[@Velvetwings9]

Have you heard about monotropism? It is a therory of autism whoch explanes why we can’t focus on lot of things

The best part of waking up 🎶

[@whitneymason406]

The few days of summer vacation have been ok so far. My son goes over to his AAC and says "shoe" which is his way of saying he wants to go outside. I dont feel comfortable while my husband is at work as my son has eloped before and hes bigger and faster now. I can tell he's bored, so I'm trying to come up with different activities. I hope you have a good week, Claire and friends! 💞

[@AuditingWithAutism]

You are never alone. And thanks to you and Porch Talk, we never will be either.❤

[@spencerdeumer-nt2eu]

Good Morning Claire.

[@lindaT82]

Yay, serotonin!! Hope you get your yarn!! Optimising health can be very underrated. Same goes for what can be perceived to be a "boring" diet, AKA the food that works for me, no surprises, and keeps me healthy 🙂 The days are getting so short here, and the cats are making the most of the rationed beams of sunshine, between the clouds and rain. So grateful to have my cats 🐈🐈‍⬛. Well, I just got my serotonin from watching porch coffee, so thank you. And thanks for all the videos during the week - I love autistic people talking. Hope everyone has a great week!! 💖✨

Congrats on getting my first vocalization of the day. I cracked up on the fake outro 😂

[@garyenglish6584]

I am a person from England and work with a young man who has autism and your videos gave helped me to understand more about relationships for autistic people so thank you so much because I really believe that more people need to educate themselves to understand Autism even from a basic level thank you for the video

Language elder nerd: you were understood in a verbal medium. This is sufficient.

Eating the same things over and over , yes. It makes grocery shopping quicker and easier as well.
