So as I type this it's 5.30 am and I've given up trying to sleep tonight, I'm sitting here watching some JML mini chainsaw infomercial and deciding to get some work done to stop my mind doing overtime.
I've approached my disability contact at UWTSD and requested a differentiated deadline on the project. I've emailed my supervisor. I'm hoping between them they can help put my mind at rest.
Us autistics aren't known for our ability to reach out and say, "Please help me, I'm struggling." So this is a good thing. My autism and recurrent depression means that UWTSD have preapproved an extension of a week for circumstances just like this. I'm hoping it will be enough.
