The impetus to work at the store and at the school is coming from inside me. I'm able to consider doing these things because I've come out about who I really am. A lot of the energy that I used to put into hiding and trying to appear neuro-typical has been freed for other more enjoyable things. Thanks for your concern, LizzieK8.

You commented on how relaxed you felt staying at home and ended up with the creation of two commitments to take you outside that relaxed place... I'm not, by any means saying, don't go.... Just make sure you're going because you want to and not because you think you should to act NT or because the manage of the thrift store is understanding.... It's okay to stay at home. Really. Ask me.... ;) Remember, insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Okay..keep a couple things in mind.
