AuDHD
A place for those that got both Autism and ADHD, those confirmed as one and are suspecting they got the other as well, and also everyone who is neither and just genuinely curious.
Since the combo comes with its own set of challenges, this shall be a place to ask for advice, vent, infodump about special interests and/or just vibe and meme.

Do you know people in your line of work that have good boundaries? Can you learn from them?
I imagine hospitality is always hectic. My job is too. But there are people who are able to walk away when the day is over. I am focusing on building that skill. My work day ended an hour ago, but I'm just packing up. This is better than yesterday!
My line of work doesn't allow for good boundaries. There is an ask. I told my boss last week that I was burnt out, he told me well find a way to get it done. I found out this morning I have a private dinner for the CEO and bankers from 5-10 tomorrow night, plus another event at noon that I have to prep for so I'll be there at 9. Boundaries in kitchens only put targets on your back. I feel like that's why I'm having so many problems right now is I'm setting boundaries and they aren't being respected. I just feel defeated. I feel tired. I feel hopeless. I love cooking and I would like to think I am good at it, but I feel like I'm am exploited constantly.
I was concerned that this would be the case. I worked in hospitality for a few years and what you describe is what I remember. I did work at an event centre that was unionized for a while and that was much better. I imagine jobs like that are few and far between.
I hope you find a good path.
