Physicality and consequences - autistic/ADHD thinking and being a human being with basic needs

I'm back and it's a long one. This is a story about me driving down the road, hitting a small piece of detritus, and that seemingly insignificant moment prompting a fairly sizeable revelation.

I've realised that I don't take my physical self into account when making decisions. Thanks to my ADHD/autistic brain, I do plenty of analysis and imagining when thinking things through, but the bit about remembering I'm a human being with basic needs doesn't seem to make its way into the equation.

It feels very simple now I can see it, but I genuinely didn't get this until now. I'm excited to see how this knowledge can help me take care of myself :)
