I would love to hear #ActuallyAutistic experiences about meditating. I have had some problems for years and years and I'm starting to wonder if it's actually "my brain works like this"-thing and not "I'm the worst person ever at meditating"-thing.

Biggest difficulties I'm having are imagining feelings in metta-type meditation (loving kindness meditation, or meditating compassion). It's very difficult to imagine emotions. In the meditation you are supposed to bring to mind close friends and then neutral and difficult people and expand your loving kindness to all of them. I have tried this on/off for 10 years but I don't seem to get better at it at all.

I had a writer's crisis after realising I'm autistic. It felt like I have written all my books as a means of trying to figure out why I'm an outsider. Would the knowledge be the end of my career? What do I have to write about? Slowly I have planned my next book. It will be about redefining my language and writing altogether. It will be giving a voice to ND writing. When it's ready in a few years, I will try to find a ND editor for it. No NT people telling what would make the text better! And if nobody will publish it, I will do it myself.But that's far away in the future. Now I'm starting to find my words. It will be an adventure.

At the moment I'm working with an editor to complete a book I've written past few years. I'm realising the friction of an allistic person telling me what she needs the text to be like. The realisation about my neurodifference is changing everything in my writing.
