#my meds are wearing off sorry i'm in a weird mood right now
Text
The dream of living with or very near a friend where I can use my skills to do a swap that covers for my deficits.
i.e. I do a phonecall on your behalf, I am paid with a nice little meal
I can do phonecalls!* But I can't do the complicated thing of making food happen with any degree of consistency or reliability. Plus food always tastes nicer when someone's made it for you.
*I can do 'business' calls to make appointments, discover opening times, place and chase up orders, and sometimes even complain, but please don't ever make me have a social conversation on a telephone I will shrivel up and die. If there is an automated voice part I will also shrivel up and die but in a far more vigorous and spectacular manner
#my other skills are thinking weirdly and making strange noises#filing this under autism things#i was socialised to speak on the phone lol#seriously if i can phone someone directly and get answers you bet your ass i'm doing that rather than faffing around with emails#direct action!#but i truly recognise that this is a blessing and so many people are stuck because it's a hard thing to do#like it's actually a barrier to people accessing healthcare and that should NOT be a thing at all#local surgery also has an e-consult thing but that's so evil and meltdown inducing it's so actively hostile#my meds are wearing off sorry i'm in a weird mood right now#you know actually speaking well on the phone fucks me over when trying to explain how disabled i am#because people hear a 'not anxious. well-spoken' person and that's all they want to know#oh you can talk nicely on the phone??? well you can quite clearly feed yourself and walk then!#i would say i'm off-topic but this is my post on my blog so i'm perfectly on-topic#even if no one (including me) knows what that topic is
