I had to move from one province to another in Canada (huge change 😬). Transitions in general, but especially moving can be extremely challenging for me as an autistic person.
I talk about the move, and what was difficult, and also what is helpful.

Hi, i'm millie!
I am autistic and ADHD, and I'm trying to leave the world in slightly better shape than when I found it. I am working towards this goal by focusing my life energy and experience as disabled and neurodivergent into disability advocacy work.
If you like what I am doing and would like to support me to be able to continue doing it then any contribution, however small will help make that happen, and you will help me get closer to my dream of a society that is more accepting and appreciative of neurodivergent people and people with disabilities.
Thank you.

Sorry about the audio being only on one side! I want to make things as accessible as possible, so ill try my best to make sure this doesn't happen again in the future. I know what the problem is now, so I can avoid this issue for future videos. I know from my own experience that it really bothers me if I'm listening on headphones and the audio is only on one side.

Tee hee. I was wondering about that. Apology accepted with delight that it was offered. It's old school. It was all 'mono' at one point in recording history.

I am an autistic person. It’s my first time experiencing your videos same, always nice to see an authentic autistic person that really shares his inner experiences. You’ve truly helped me get through a hard time myself and 54 years old I work as an educational assistant for the board where I live in Canada Ontario because I am autistic and I act differently. I am a bottom up thinker nothing is hidden for me when I am working with autistic children. I’ve been doing it for 35 years now, I’ve been having a horrible time at work lately with some of my coworkers because I react differently in different situations and I’m really good at my job. They are jealous. They want to control me in fact they’re trying to get me to lose my job by doing horrible things or putting words in my mouth or setting me up for failure , which doesn’t end up working I am an autistic dyslexic person ADHD. Also we have a new principal even union war he was horrible with people that need accommodations even if I open up my mouth because I also have they called face blindness to me recognize different parts of my mind , there’s nothing wrong with my intelligence. I just do things different differently and I’m affected by parts of the world differently but every time open up my mouth to just ask for a little bit more info. I’m told I need to go get a doctors note if it sounds like I want an accommodation treat me horribly. I hurt myself 20 years ago on the job. I use a chair because I can get sore my lower back and hip and he told me to put somewhere else cause I don’t have a accommodation for which I did but in the fine print, I noticed it said will check up in a year , but never happened. I don’t know why he doesn’t have any info but anyway we are disabled just we shouldn’t need accommodations so we could talk to Neurotypical people I’m treated horribly ignored. You know crazy my motto is it doesn’t matter what I think reality and truth around me is what I perceive , atypical mind and the Neurotypical mind working together they can do things I can’t do and I can do things they can’t do together we’re better. I just wish they would treat me like a normal human being nasty I mean they close doors on me to hurt me type rude they’ll say things that happened that didn’t happen , every conversation I’m going to have to start taping that’s how bad it is. Insane God help me thanks for doing your videos. I appreciate it very much. You just being there for the autistic community. Thank you. Keep up the good work. I wish the best for you and your family.

yeah, I wish I could've stayed in the house I lived in at 16 years old for the rest of my life, but the lease was up among a lot of other things :// so I've moved like 3 times since then, about to move a 4th time

@cherrymintrose 5 месяцев назад
I agree 100%. I've moved so many times in my life and almost everytime it was because life forced me somehow and it wasn't really possible to stay in the same place anymore.

Hi! I'm new to your channel. And to my own autistic dx as an adult. Your voice is so relaxing and it's helpful to hear you discussing transition challenges like mine. Thank you! 🫶🏻

@cherrymintrose 5 месяцев назад
thank you so much! The feedback i'm getting about my voice has helped me like my own voice a lot more. I dealt with a lot of dysphoria from being transgender and how my voice sounded but now i'm liking it more.

I was about to make a similar comment! Relaxing voice, beautifully articulate, and well organized presentation. I have ADHD and suspect I’m on the spectrum, but not seeking a diagnosis. This video helps me explain many of the challenges I experience because they’re nearly the same. Thank you ❤

Thankfully, when I moved into my apartment. After living with my parents, they let me do it slowly. I just brought a little bit of stuff at a time, and it took 2 months to have everything.

That's good that you had some time to move in! Still stressful though no matter what but time helps.
@petercunnington6808
@petercunnington6808 5 месяцев назад
@cherrymintrose Yes, it was still stressful but It was easier when a little bit of stuff came at a little bit of time.

Note: your audio is only output for the left channel, seems your recording went into a weird territory. I’m listening on headphones at work.

@cherrymintrose 4 месяца назад
oh no, ok thanks for letting me know! That will remind me to double check that next time. I know that it can be very hard to listen to on headphones if it's only one side.

I absolutely ❤❤❤ your jersey(👕), hair color & wow do i get it about "every emotion feels like anxiety"!! When this type jf anxiety happens to me i really struggle. What do you do? I focus on a breathing exercise a very kind counselor taught me that helps me distract & re focus myself on positive vibes✌🏻😊😊

Thanks, haha! 😊 It's from last years Disney pride collection! For anxiety stuff it's taken a long time to learn to cope better and still feel anxious a lot of the time, but being able to stim for me helps, and figuring out what kind of stimming helps most. Also being able to have breaks and control my living space. Some amount of medication helps me also just to calm my nervous system a bit but thats different for everyone of course. Doing things that put me in a flow state really seems to help, like learning a new skill or learning stuff for a special interest or playing a video game or listening to music.

Some people are actually victims, you just hear about it a lot more than you would have before the internet, and people are more open about talkng about these things these days, making it seem like it's more widespread than you think. I think this is why people feel this way. It's certainly not everyone.

@@cherrymintrose I disagree. There is a larger mentality of victimhood which is rooted in a socialist Marxist agenda that is going to destroy our economy and society

HIII MILLIEEE!😊🙋🏻‍♀️💌 Its a pleasure & a treat to make your acquaintance dear one🫂🫶🏻🫂. 👍🏻Suuubbbed!!👍🏻 🙏🏻✌🏻Thank you for making awesome videos!✌🏻🙏🏻 PS- I have moved almost 8 times in the last 4years. My health suffered pretty badly.. most ppl aren't aware that moving is sometimes the actual cause for major "health events" because of the level of stress it causes a great deal of us humans 😉, as a matter of fact, "Moving is one of life's top 5 "traumatic events"' Theres also other issues like, relocation stress syndrome, relocation depression & many other clinically diagnosed syndromes/illnesses that I have to believe could be healed with therapy & therapeutic exercises. I'm about to move again, to another State. Moving states doesn't bother me. AT ALL. that's actually the fun part for me, getting to know my new surroundings, exploring is such a treat for me, as im nosy as heck, lol!! I aldo like to say I'm "naturally inquisitive" but saying I'm nosy is just funny sometimes🤭😂. Thanks for the video ✌🏻🫶🏻🫂

Hi! Thank you and thanks for sharing. Every move does feel like it takes a chunk out of my life expectancy from the stress yeah, haha, 😵‍💫 but really yes it can be properly traumatic. I agree though there is the novelty seeking side of me that looks forward to a new space to set up and decorate and new surroundings! 🙂
