I always enjoy dropping by and visiting your channel. Enjoying hearing your descriptions and seeing your countryside. I wasn't able to read the lists. I decided I didn't want to feel frustrated by that. Simply happy being here while I accept being in a big valley of necessary social limitation without a horizon in sight. I like hearing about your tractor 🎉
Thank you for putting this into words. I'm learning to identify how burnout may present in my late diagnosed ASD/ADHD dance in life. Lately life has been more difficult that "usual" and tolerance is low. I always enjoy your content.
-I absolutely love your courage, dedicated to share and collectively learn about the experiential process of self discovering, accepting, and disclosing the past and prior, persistent repetitive, unspoken struggles, that led to an adult diagnosis. This is recognizable for anyone who have survived by minimizing their own experience, in order to avoid exclusion from the people we depend on, in order to develop and secure our interests or attachment bonds. Thank you, for helping so many of us, developing an actual conscious awareness and an actual language, that allows communicating of oneself, in order to authentically connect with others.
The natural environment around you is so beautiful. I want to move out of the built up environment I currently live in. I imagine I will be so much more at peace. I relate to what you said about the therapist not being a good fit. I’m with a NHS therapist at the moment and there is a lot of mismatch due to her not having an instinctual understanding of what it is to be Autistic. I wish you well on your recovery, you seem to know what is good for you 😊
Thank you. I have amazing hindsight but a terrible memory plus next to no impulse control which makes for a bumpy but interesting ride. It's great for creative content but not so good for my adulting skills lol. I wish you well also
I know someone who was / is doing conservation work with those turtles, or members of the same genus in any case. He's somewhere around halfway between Melbourne & Sydney.
Presumably the first plant is Burchardia umbellata. The second a species of Rytidosperma. The third a species of Xerochrysum. The fourth Arthropodium strictum. The fifth I leave as an exercise for the reader. (Not that this has any relevance to the topic at hand, but sometimes I get carried away...)
Regarding medication, my experience has been that even those with a net negative effect can be very unpleasant to discontinue. Which is annoying, because that means the before / after of discontinuation can be misleading.
@aspidoscelistigris yes first is Burchardia umbellata. I have tried eating the roots and they do taste like new potatoes. Very nice. Then there's some wallaby grass, Rytidosperma fulvum. Next sticky everlasting Xerochrysum viscosum - Sticky Everlasting Daisy. The purple flower is Arthropodium strictum, Chocolate Lily. There's some white Cyprus pine Callitris glaucophylla. The last is Ptilotus erubescens or hairy tails I think.

That's very generous of you to say. Thank you. I really appreciate it
Thank you.
You explain it so beautifully. I can relate to a lot of what you say, thank you for sharing.

For the incurable botanists in the audience... is it safe to assume the plant photos are from the Blue Mountains & vicinity?

These are from Woodstock in the central tablelands. We have 50 acres of box gum woodland out here. I'll name the plants I can for you
