Serious sympathy, jelly. I don't have a record of my running between my first run in September 2001 and, I think, Abingdon Marathon 2006, and it would be useful to have an actual historical record of those five years of fumblings rather than relying on my memory. A weight record from the same period would also be nice to have. But the information doesn't exist except scattered through threads on an obsolete website.

I can quite understand that jelly

It probably says something about me that I kept a record of all my training runs in a notebook for over 5 years until I joined Fetch. I was going to transfer them all onto Fetch but I was too busy with work. I had also recorded all my races over 20 years (race name, times, positions .... ) but I have gradually put all of those on Fetch.
I like completeness. ;-)

I'm maybe not following properly, jelly, but if you can get hold of the data, can't you just upload it, and then run your eye over the calendar for any duplicates? Maybe Fetch's new duplicate detector might even find them automatically.

It’s old Fitbit data, I’m just copying it fro the web so I can upload it manually.

I could type it in for you - it'll be 5 km around the block, two or three times a week, right? Not much work ;)

More seriously, fitbit might let you export the whole thing: help.fitbit.com

The data doesn’t even have the year, just the distance, steps and time and date!

Had quite an insightful morning.

I've been struggling to get up recently, which I think is just exhaustion after last 3 years. But today has been the worst. I normally leave for work at 7, to start at 8. Its now 7.52. I'm still in bed.

The reason today is so bad? Yesterday I ran out of breakfast and as I was at work 8-4 there was no way I could get some . So here I am stuck in bed with autistic mental paralysis. My brain just won't get up until I've made a plan about breakfast. It will get there. I'm just trying to be kind to myself, and work out a way forward. Before I'd have spiraled in to a melt down at being so useless as an adult that I can't get out of bed and what a failure I am. Thankfully its a non clinical work day.

Yay for giving yourself grace and understanding what you need! That's some hardcore adulting, right there, I'm proud of you!

I'm in a bit of a burn out phase, delivering the tech show two weeks ago took everything both me and my direct boss had, and now we're both completely broken. She isn't autistic, but she has some serious ongoing health issues.

Sadly, I very much doubt that anyone will consider that both of us being off for potentially a couple of weeks is due to a failure of the organisation to adequately support disabled people trying to work within it, rather than the two of us being the problem.

Thanks 1step2far.

Sharing this kind of think really helps us neurotypicals understand our neurodiverse loved ones. It's so hard to know how to help if you don't know what the problem is. And I wish I could teleport you some breakfast.

Does anyone know what's involved in the diagnosis process for autism? Is there a test, how does it ...
