Had therapy today, and continue to be wicked grateful for my (also neurodivergent) therapist and her insight. A thing to share:
We talked today about my frustration with myself over failing to build new habits - it's a wicked struggle for me.
She talked to me about some anecdotes that autistics in general are bad at building habits when they call them habits.
And great at building routines.
And it's a perfect recasting for me, because I am great at building routines when I call them that, because I treat it in a much more structured way.
Figured I'd share in case it helps someone else too.
