#all my friends are autistic

[ghostofaudhdpast]

my friend who stayed with me is on their way back home to the other side of the country.

all things considered it went well! they were originally supposed to stay until saturday morning, but they’d already been on this coast for a week and were homesick so they went home early. they were super apologetic at first, and i confessed that i was super burnt out and having some free time to rest would actually be amazing for me.

i love being friends with other neurodivergent people because we GET it and the communication is direct and we’re honest and there’s no hurt feelings or guilt or shame or wondering if me or they are saying what we mean.

i feel like i’ve run several marathons. the combination of audhd and also being physically disabled is exhausting. my body aches. the rest of today and most of tomorrow will be recovery days.

super glad i got to meet an online friend though! we had a good time!

i feel like this is telling

#daphnes talking again #like. do i KNOW. that im not autistic. #yes. probably. ok maybe. #its Likely. #right. #im just not sure #all my friends are autistic #like its not weird to be friends with autistic ppl obviously. thats really normal. #there are alot of autistic ppl to be friends w #:) #but anyway uhhh i think it IS weird. that its ALL of them #like every single one #like. the fact that i seemingly attract neurodivergence is like. sus to me. #theres gotta be a reason right #unless its all just coincedence #i mean. it might jsut be that autistic bitches go way harder and thats why they stick around in my life. #that seems like way more likely. literally nothing is better than a bit of brain spice. it makes me like someone like 200 percent more #anyway sorry for like. this crisis ive been having for half a year. #my therapist told me i dont exhibit symptoms so. im assuming im neurotypical

kabru going thru the labors of hercules (and dying more than any other named character) specifically because he wanted to listen to laios infodump ab his special interest is making me crazy like what do you MEAN..........

#dungeon meshi #dunmeshi #kabru #laios #labru #shut up homo #dungeon meshi spoilers #i knew before i started the series thayt he wanted to be friends #but i was living under the assumption that it was like. after encountering him in the dungeon #and not that he'd do what he hated most to get to know laios #like im not crazy for feeling crazy right #also also also #laios saying shuros about the only person who'd call him a friend #and shuro in reality 'not being able to stand' laios #vs kabru doing All That just to be friends with laios #i am rattling the bars of my cage #me and the bad bitch i pulled by being autistic #or whatever

my lord of autism

#discworld #havelock vetinari #artwork #i have read. A Lot of discworld this year #i just finished the watch series so im moving on to moist next. very excited for moist #anyway i love 100% of the characters but vetinari is probably my favourite hes a massive bitch i love him #other characters who are my favourites include sybil angua carrot and constable visit. and vimes but he goes without saying #also vetinari is about as close to canonically acearo and autistic as a character has been since sherlock holmes which means da world 2 me #i was talking about this yesterday but i think him and holmes would get along. steepling their fingers at each other #i have a lot of thoughts about vetinari but i cant really express any of them i just rotate him in my head often #i hope you are all doing well my friends and that you are enjoying the end of the year :D i luv you

maybe unpopular opinion but probably one of the least useful pieces of advice I've ever got as an auDHD person to the question of "how tf does one make friends" was to go and join clubs/groups that do hobbies I enjoy. Not only does this not actually answer the question of how to make friends (yknow, how to approach people, how to start a conversation, how to appear friendly enough that they don't immediately reject you for existing, how to actually keep them as friends later on, etc), but also the chance of me choosing to force myself into the discomfort of "making smalltalk with random strangers" is absolutely nonexistent when the alternative of engaging with a hyperfixation is not only socially acceptable but even encouraged

#autistic #autism #actually autistic #adhd #actually adhd #neurodivergent #actually neurodivergent #one time a friend of mine took me to a knitting club #she kept telling me beforehand how nice everyone was and #i shouldn't be anxious cuz they are all nice ppl #when we got there the social anxiety got to me #so to calm myself i took out my project of the time #i then proceeded to hyperfocus on knitting for the rest of #the two hours that we spent there #ignoring everyone else and not talking whatsoever #and since they didn't approach me either i just sat there in silence #she obviously couldn't pass up the opportunity to make fun of me afterwards #needless to say i never went back there again #cuz i mean if i wanna knit i'm gonna to it in the safety of my home #i don't need the added stress of masking in front of others #i still don't know how to make friends

a detective who has a partner🔍 and a partner💕 who are friends so the three of them end up doing a lof things together and the detective refers to them as "my partners" and doesn't realise this makes everyone think they're polyamorous (they do end up polyamorous by the end of the story)

#once people start making remarks and they do realise they're apprehensive to the idea at first #(the detective that is. the partners just find it funny i think) #in a shocked and confused way #like “why would you think that! a is my best friend and b is... also my best friend. but one of them is my colleague and the other my spous #“i do not have an unprofessional relationship with my colleague! ...well i do #but a completely platonic one!“ #(they do get up to a lot of hijinks together and it wouldn't be true to call them completely professional) #the detective doesn't stop calling them 'my partners' they just have a monologue about the nature of their relationship locked and loaded #it's a friends to lovers very slow burn to get to the throuple part but we do get there eventually #character concept #yes i initially imagined the detective as a man because i love men and most famous detectives unfortunately are men #however this would work very well in any gender scenario. all three of them are non-binary in different ways. all of them are women. #i think the main detective would be really fun if she was a Philomena Cunk type of character. very smart but So dumb and self-assured #really the main thing the detective needs to be is autistic

anyone else have this experience?

#eliot posts #i've been told by a few ppl that knew me back then that i was hella bullied in elementary school #i do not remember being bullied at all #i knew i didn't have many friends but chalked that up to me choosing to spend that much time alone #i did not pick up on passive aggressive shit #and wasn't aware of my surroundings enough to realize when ppl were talking abt me behind my back #and i think brushed off direct mean comments as like haha you are such a jokester #i was reminded of this bc i was talking to a friend from high school last night #and she mentioned a time when me and her and another friend went out somewhere #and the employees were being super nice to her and our other friend but extremely rude and condescending to me #she was like ''it's been years and i am still peeved over that'' and i was like ''wait they were mean to me???'' #did not even notice a difference in our treatment #autism #autistic

got my friend to watch td23 and his fave is raj. got to witness him go thru the stages of grief.

#i told my friend he reminded me of bowie (he does) #and he was like really??? hm idk #and then like an hour later he was like raj is so fine #like BRO. you keep proving me right. #total drama #total drama island #total drama 2023 #td 2023 #total drama reboot #my friend was like i will give you a pros and cons list of the whole cast after i finish s1 so u know all my opinions and then ill start s2 #like YEAAASSSSS u get autistic people

As someone who heavily relates to Quinni and is a little bit in love with Harper and her fucked-up bad-bitch mystique, I think they should have an incredibly intense and fucked up gay relationship that leaves them both irreversibly wrecked as people. They could make each other worse and better in equal measure and I want it sooo bad

#and that is my contribution to the fandom thank u for your time #never underestimate an autistic girl’s ability to see through the tough-girl’s bullshit #and never underestimate the tough-girl’s ability to inspire confidence in her friends! #Harper would teach Quinni how to win the idgaf war and Quinni would teach Harper how to lose the idgaf war #do you see the vision???? #Harper would be like: omg fuck everybody do what you want!! go crazy go stupid!!! #and Quinni would be like: …you know you don’t have to pretend like you’re okay all the time right? #if nothing else I need their friendship to be more fleshed out!!! #heartbreak high #quinni gallagher jones #harper mclean #cass actually talks! #omg they’re also the goth + pastel (ish) stereotype!!! #it just gets better guys like get on my level kdbdjdk
