i was prepared only because my eyes skipped down to your reblog in the middle of reading and then i saw the last sentence and suddenly i have knowledge of all things

i have a friend who has kinda bad eczema on their right hand but their left hand is fine and thats because acidity makes eczema worse and that includes vaginal acidity and my friend is both a lesbian and a slut so they finger a lot of people and that fucks up the hand they use (their right hand). Anyways do you think BBC sherlock would deduce that by looking at my friend’s hands

#oh #i didnt even read the um. the acidity part. until after i wrote this #my eyes skipped around and then i never went back and read the full thing until now #perhaps i… do not have knowledge of all things

the autistic urge to specify EXACTLY what you mean in 50 messages

I've been tricked! This image has been haunting my brain ever since I got my ADHD diagnosis in September and I thought you guys might enjoy it too. Shout out to anyone whose diagnosis came with a buddy/buddies

#me but flipped hehe

There's just one major thing that I don't think is acknowledged enough about late diagnosed autistics/ADHD (and probably other neurodivergences):

The floor drops away from under you when you're diagnosed as an adult.

You've spent years perfecting coping mechanisms, setting masks perfectly in place, practicing socialising, forcing things that made you uncomfortable or confused (for reasons you couldn't comprehend).

Then you get the diagnosis and... That's it. No one tells you what to do. How to cope, how to survive.

All you know is that you've spent your life hurting yourself. Your mental health is shot, you're most likely depressed, anxious, burntout...

And you never had to do that. It didn't have to be that way.

I'm not saying I wished I was diagnosed as a child. I don't. That would have a whole other bag of problems.

I just wish there was more in place for us. I wish we weren't abandoned by the medical community at 18.

what no one tells you about being autistic is people just don’t like you. maybe you make friends, but they get tired of you fast. even if you’re not actively bullied, your peers just…. don’t pay attention to you. something about you is offputting and weird to mostly everyone, and you literally cannot stop it no matter how hard you try.

#oh word

no, not "all kids have adhd these days, mobile phones have destroyed attention spans"

yes, it is true that attention spans are shorter than they used to be. but not everyone experiences the specific pattern of poor working memory, time blindness, rsd, lack of object permanence, executive dysfunction, hyperfocus, hyperfixations, extreme boredom, emotional dysregulation, poor processing speed, and sensory issues that are present in adhd

I’ve been thinking a lot about how as neurodivergent people we censor and edit ourselves so much for neurotypical people that we seem to forget how to communicate with other neurodivergent people who would love for us to communicate in the ways we’ve been taught to avoid.

We’ve been taught “don’t talk out of turn but don’t be too quiet, don’t share your own related experiences but communicate empathy, be a good listener but don’t expect others to care about your interests, don’t speak unless spoken too but come out of your shell or people will think you’re being rude, don’t be annoying, don’t be annoying, don’t be annoying.”

So even in our own spaces, among friends, among other neurodivergent people, we say “sorry I’m being annoying” or “sorry to bother you” or “sorry I don’t know how to start a conversation” or “sorry I’m so awkward,” at each other because we’ve censored our communication so much that it feels like we’ve forgotten our own first language, and we’re hoping someone else will see that and teach it to us again (but they’ve forgotten it too).

Having sensory issues with taste is not a moral failure.

It doesn't make anyone ungrateful or uncivil, and also it doesn't make an adult person childlish. Stop being fucking ableists, me not eating what you eat or offer is not a personal offense.

talking about autism or adhd with other neurodivergent people or a professional who knows a lot about the subject:

trying to explain myself to literally anyone else:

#i feel like such a silly goose! :) #please note that this is NOT at all a ‘neurodivergent supremacy’ post kinda thing #AND PLEASE NOTE IM SAYING IM THE CLOWN NOT MY LOVELY NEUROTYPICAL FRIENDS OUT THERE pls dont take this the wrong eay #been seeing that a lot lately and its just like ????? #it is absurd to me to create an even bigger divide between us and neurotypical people because in the end we are all human #we may have different brains and we may function differently but we can still relate to each other as human beings #anyways. that aside #this post is not saying ‘haha stupid neurotypicals they dont understand me’ #no this is just me grieving that i cant seem to explain myself/it seems like neurodivergents ALL have trouble explaining so we all just sort #of understand each other automatically #it goes without saying that it’s easier to explain your issues to somrone who has experienced very similar things #someone who lives in a different world than you is going to be more difficult to explain to #and thats okay #thats how humans work #anyways. much too long of a tag rant. #i just didnt want anyone to take this post the weong way :’) #i cant stand the thought of neurotypical people seeing my posts or any neurodivergent post and feeling targeted or attacked #because thats just so dumb and awful and horrible #a disability does not make you special and superior #we are all human and we have our differences and making fun of meurotypical people makes you no better than those who would do the opposite #(make fun of us) #it helps nothing #ive not really seen jt on thmblr too much but i havent really been aftive so idk #just sort of wanted to rant i guess #WHY DO I KEEP TALKING okay im done now #my post #adhd #asd #autism #actually autistic

does it ever feel like people teleport?? like in class i’ll just be minding my own business and then suddenly i realize that a person is gone but i never saw them leave. and then a few minutes later they’re Back but i never saw them come back into the room !! little time blips are so frustrating cause it’s like a puzzle, but the box the puzzle came in was already missing pieces. like you Literally did not experience what happened in between those moments and there’s no way to piece them together no matter how much time you waste thinking about it and trying to dredge up memories you literally didn’t process

#wait this post is a banger i forgot it existed #self rb

[frogwithadhd]

me listening to something: im going to remember this and be able to recall what i heard

me a vague amount of time in the future: yowa zowa! it appears i have forgotten!
