Hi Friends! Please Introduce Yourself!
My name’s Drew. I’m late diagnosed AuDHD (at 40). I have decades of experience as a teacher, mentor, training designer and advocate. Join me here at Quiet Pattern Studios and accelerate your journey to understanding your authentic self. Please introduce yourself if you’re comfortable doing so. For those of you who struggle with that like I do, try this: Share your name, a special interest that you have, and your favourite comfort TV show. For example: I’m Drew, one of my special interests is superheroes, and my current comfort show is Star Trek: The Next Generation.

@Scout Rafferty Hi Scout! Thanks for taking a chance on this little community. I absolutely ADORE your list. Is this something you’ve updated through your life or a more recent development? You and I also have some quality overlap on our lists - mythology jumps out specifically. Welcome!

Weekly Quiet Check-In
Mondays. No thank you. How are you feeling going into the week? Pick one: 👍🏻 - Steady and Ready 🖕🏻 - FAFO 🫩 - Completely burnt out ❔- Undecided Is there anything you’d like some help with today? Friendly reminder - you are a meat blob driving an exoskeleton made of stardust. Even if all you do is pick an emoji, you’re doing great.

@Lo Lockhart Could. Not. Agree. More.
The More the Merrier!
Hi friends! No pressure, but please feel free to invite other folks you think might be a good fit for our little group. Chatting with you has really improved my mental health and overall outlook and I think we’d all love a few new voices in the room. Anywho - thanks for being you. Exactly as you are.

@Karen McClive excellent choices. Traci Chapman is an international treasure. Also…are you joking in your profile about liking Nickelback? I hope not, because I thought I was the only one to admit that out loud.

@Scout Rafferty Oh my god I love it. It’s adorable in a way a strawberry probably shouldn’t be? But look! It’s hiding!
Autistic Burnout Skill Regression
Hi friends! Anybody else feel like a toddler who’s been given the keys to a semi truck now that they have their diagnosis? Stuff that I used to be able to do feels so difficult.

@Scout Rafferty I never realized how much effort I was putting into making eye contact. I was using it to detect threats, monitor my own participation level in the conversation and matching expressions. Absolutely exhausting. Also the horrible reality of being perceived is not one I wish to explore lol.

@Karen McClive so many people will act like you setting a healthy boundary is the equivalent of setting them on fire. My patience regressed right along with my skills. Being diagnosed gave me the language I needed to start standing up to people who think my comfort, safety, and existence are negotiable.
