That adhdfeel when you were SO PRODUCTIVE then you decide, “alright time to take a break” and then never get back to being productive all day because other things have caught your attention.

Timelapse view of lava moving on the plains near Pu’u O’o, Hawaii. The hill in the distance is called the “Pali”, it is the mark of a large normal fault created by part of the island sliding out towards the sea. Lava cascades over the Pali on its way to the ocean during the eruption. This is substantially sped up from how fast Pahoehoe lava typically flows.

something i don’t see a lot in tumblr’s rhetoric about mental illness and recovery is a distinction between recovery through suppression and conformity and recovery through coping.

suppression and conformity is not recovery.  it implies that you are simply repressing the symptoms of your mental illness or disorder and causing yourself more pain.  suppression implies that you are ignoring your mental illness, not acknowledging your symptoms, and conformity implies that you are putting on a neurotypical facade.  so many people assume that’s the end goal of therapy and medication (should people choose to do that) or general recovery. that people are trying to “cure” you.  it’s where i think a lot of the “i shouldn’t need to get better” rhetoric comes from.

but that’s not what recovery is.  recovery is coping.  it’s learning about yourself and how you tick.  it’s learning to recognize and acknowledge symptoms so you can better understand them and, ultimately, not let them control you.  it’s understanding that being “wired” differently isn’t a bad thing, but it can make things harder, and learning to recognize those distinctions and address them so you can make your life easier.  it’s recognizing that for some people, therapy and medication are the path to coping, and that the end goal of them is to make that learning and self-discovery process easier so that those people can do it independently in the long run.

recovery is not changing yourself to fit the world.  recovery is learning how to look the world in the eye and say “i now know how to coexist with you now.  i now know how to thrive.”

every harry potter character: sirius black

sirius was a brave, clever and energetic man, and such men are not usually content to sit at home in hiding while they believe others to be in danger.

Autistic-related UK organizations to avoid

It’s fairly common to hear about Autism Speaks and the many and profound ways in which they harm Autistic people, especially during April; but we don’t have Autism Speaks here in the UK. Instead, there are a number of charities and organizations that are related to Autistic people, and, in my experience, it’s rare to hear much about them and their flaws in Autistic rights activism.

So here is some information I’ve put together about some of the main Autistic-related charities in the UK that should be avoided or at least treated warily. Some of the organizations do some good work, I’m sure, but it’s important to highlight the ways in which they do harm to Autistic people.

This list is not comprehensive and there are many more organizations that I haven’t included.

the worst feeling is watching your room get messier and knowing you should clean it at some point and motivating yourself to clean it and trying to clean it but ending up not being able to do anything
