Librarian here, ask me anything

Thank you 🙏 🫶 Very kind of you! I genuinely mean it!☺️ We need more mentoring and stewardship imho. Especially as 47 yr old student with autism and adhd with certain splinter skills that has been mostly used as a tool by others both in academia and corporate. Just because you have learned how to learn, doesn’t mean you don’t need mentors or direction, people see the skills that have taken a lifetime to build which essentially is a survival mechanism. My point being my advancements and achievements came at a great deal of cost and recovery from burnout for those approximate reasons I advocate to remove the stigma of autism w Autistic doctors international. I did not know until I figured it out at 42 then went and talked to my doctor. They thought I already knew. With these *gifts* come some considerable deficits that most can’t see. I’m socially blind, and feel like it’s impossible to be myself. I have to tell people to be explicit my branching logic sees many possibilities.
