when I'm pms and have my period, my sensory issues are heightened so much. that, along with emetophobia, has made me realize i couldn't deal with pregnancy. my sense of smell is very strong then too. a i also have a lot of issues being touched a lot. (limited touch is fine but there's a limit.) i also struggle with noise a lot.

The burnout cycle is real as a teacher. I wonder sometimes if it’s the right career for me, the money is somewhat shit but it’s livable, possible to get my student loans forgiven after ten years, and has pretty good benefits when it comes to insurance and retirement…. But I truly am dependent on the 9 months of constant hard work and 3 months off. I’m a french teacher which is an interesting niche in the Midwest US. Spanish is the most popular language, Sign language gets all the hyper, loud, hands on kids that hate the grammar aspect of language, Latin gets all the really quirky smart kids but French always draws in the kids who aim to be different, so most of my kids are neurodivergent. I think it may be similar in England, Americans aren’t known for prioritizing foreign language and it is almost impossible to become fluent when we only have three to four years of courses in foreign language so it is frustrating but both French and pedagogy are my special interests, and my masters is in gifted instruction, with a particular interest in gifted students with learning differences…. So I do like that each year I can change my curriculum and do better, and my classroom is my own little kingdom where we have strict routine and structure and I can try something new each year… however there is a lot of pressure from administrators and the local government and it can get very political as well which is shitty. I love being off in the summer and having a fresh restart with all new students every few years but continuing students for a chunk of two or three years which is nice. I appreciate this podcast so much because as a late diagnosed autistic who is currently pregnant with twins I am a bit skeptical about life as a parent. My partner is AuDHD and we have experience as parents after fostering a friends child on and off while she was recovering from addiction over a span of many years. After that we realized we were good at having a kid and benefited a lot from the routine we had with her, but we didn’t expect twins after trying for years to get pregnant! And it has made it that much harder on my body, the changes are fast and extreme but I have never been afraid of pregnancy, although I am non-binary so most of my discomfort is dysphoria and the genderedness of pregnancy. I have been so so lucky so far however. I basically lived my normal life until 22 weeks or so and am just starting to have pain and discomfort at 6 months now. As difficult as twins may be, we did want two kids and to have a “one and done” experience might actually be better in the long run. One pregnancy and birth, one maternity leave and change in routine and huge life preparation phase and family structure change all at once instead of just getting adjusted to one kid and then adding another. Also the sensory struggles of diapers and breastfeeding, etc will be over at once. I woke up at 10am this sunday morning and made a nice egg bagel and drank my coffee in peace with my sleepy dogs at my feet and I realize these mornings are very limited. I feel lucky I got to plan my experience so well and am delivering so my 12 week maternity leave ends right with the school year so I can have all summer to continue adjusting to parenthood before next year but I am still overwhelmed at the thought of not sleeping in again until they are teenagers. I am excited for this challenge as well tho. Anyways thanks again!
