Looking back at my 2012, I went through some pretty major life changes and made some significant achievements, despite the year mainly feeling like putting my life on hold.
( January, February and March: Activism, Fandom, Surgery and Stress... )
( April, May and June: Autism Acceptance and putting my life on hiatus... )
( July, August and September: Conferences, Gender Clinic Graduation and Diagnosis... )
( October, November and December: Introspection, Intersections and Reformatting... )
Having written and proofread the above, 2012 feels like a year where I purposely put everything on hold, 'reinstalled' my identity and hopefully set myself up with a freshly formatted stable home and social life on which to build sustainable new routines, projects and relationships from a position of greater self-knowledge.
The changes I've already made seem to have helped with problems like low level chronic fatigue, which I take as an extremely positive sign that I'm doing the right sorts of things. Next year I'm hoping to work productively with the specialists at Nottingham City Asperger Service on helping me to understand myself and develop better strategies for maximising my strengths and working around my difficulties. I'm also planning to take some of my existing projects out of hiatus and take them in a new, more authentic intersectional direction. I'm feeling optimistic.
Hopefully 2013 will be the year I take my life out of hiatus.
