I can't believe that I didn't do this already but,

Happy Black History Month to disabled, chronically ill and/or neurodivergent black people

We don't get enough appreciation.

I give up on this modern lifestyle.

I am a jellyfish person.

A Jellyfish Person is:

A person who was not meant to experience the overstimulation and complexities of the 21st century. The human experience constantly overwhelms them and the current structure of society seems illogical and dystopian to them. Jellyfish People should instead be admired and delicately taken care of.

Why is ADHD one of the only few disorders where people tell you not to take medication for? Like, every time I tell somebody I have ADHD and I’m taking medication, they always say something like “that stuff isn’t good for you” or “you shouldn’t try to medicate yourself, you’re gonna get addicted to it” “just learn to focus”

STFUUUU

Wait…that’s not normal?

Isn’t it funny(not really) how you can go your whole life without knowing something about yourself?

Hello my name is Ty I am a black 31 y/o female and I believe I have adhd. I say believe because I am not officially diagnosed but I will be going for a diagnosis in a couple months.

Honestly if it’s not adhd then it’s something else because I am definitely not neurotypical but I’ll get into that later.

Since I’ve had this epiphany of “😲 do I have adhd?” I’ve had a lot of thoughts in my head (more than what is considered normal for me) and it’s getting to be too much so I’ve decided I’m going to write them down. I could do this just in my notes app but I’ve decided to do it blog style to get out of my comfort zone a bit.

I’ve also been inspired by a couple of nerodiverse activist who shall be named at a later date. This is my first post so I don’t wanna go on for too long. These future post may not be just limited to adhd it could be whatever else I find about myself and what I’m going through in general if I feel like sharing.

If anyone finds this type of thing interesting I’d appreciate a follow and I’ll follow back.

TLDR: I am a black female who is realizing I may have adhd at 31. I want to write about the experience of finding out. I’ve decided to post here about it get out of my comfort zone. I am open to speaking and interacting with everyone. May talk about more than adhd If this sound interesting follow me I follow back!

Even before finding out I was neurodivergent, and possibly autistic (I say possibly only because I feel like I would still need a professional diagnosis, despite feeling like I’m 100% sure I am autistic, and even though I may never get a diagnosis), I always felt more connected to nonhumans, and never wanted to feel part of human society in any way.

In fact, even within it, I still feel very disconnected, and honestly don’t want any part of it whatever. I don’t consider myself part of humanity, and feel more connected with aliens and fairies and other non-humans. And to see that others feel the same way is very surprising, as I always felt like I was the only one.

It always made me feel frustrated, and even angry, whenever I’d see stories featuring nonhuman characters mingling with humans, and eventually becoming like them in some way, or transforming into a human, or just assimilating. It just felt so… wrong. And I especially despise when humans who aren’t like other humans would eventually find themselves mingling and fitting in either halfway through, or at the end of a story.

It just felt like another way to say: “Who you are is wrong, and you should be like us, and be with us so that we can fix you.”

I hated, and still hate it.

What about “humans” who don’t feel human, or who don’t see themselves as human, or aren’t, and who eventually leave humanity to live their lives as the nonhumans that they are? What about the “humans” who are truly outcasts and are proud of it, and what nothing to do with fitting in and making themselves bland for human comfort? What about us?

Because that is how I’ve always felt. I don’t want to fit in. I like being a freak.

Imma have to write a book or a TV series focusing on a neurodivergent or disabled black person or something because IDK about y'all but I can't relate to these neurotypical main characters and I'm tired of pretending like I can.

#oh to have a book about two autistic black people falling in love #a girl can dream #there's so many different symptoms of neurodivergency that are just seen as normal behaviors in the black community #and it's really been a major source of abelism and generational trauma #for me at least #black neurodivergent #neurodivergent #neurodivergence #neurodivergence in media #black mental health #black neurodivergence #black people media #black people #disability inclusion #neurodivergence inclusion #disabilities in media #disabled characters #disability representation #neurodivergent representation #black representation #representation #black girl problems #jay's attempts at communicating

It’s been a minute 👊🏾🧡✨! To everyone in the neurodivergent community your not alone with the similar experiences we share. And I love that my freedom on here to express myself during a dark time in my life helped others as well!

Have I stated how much I hate the whole "Strong Black Woman" archetype and how much it's hurt me as a disabled person? I could go on for hours about how much this has such a detrimental effect on disabled black people. (And honestly just any in general who doesn't fit inside the mold.) But honestly, I'm just too tired of being forced into a role that I can't fill. It's taxing for me both physically and mentally. I wish more people would just understand that I can't do it.

Just got back from my therapy appointment...

I'm seeing a new therapist and today was my second appointment with her.

I never told her I suspected I might be autistic just like I never said anything about it to my previous therapist (she left the practice unfortunately). But like my previous therapist she suspects I might be autistic and she's actually worked with kids on the spectrum before. She actually said "I'd honestly be shocked if you weren't." Now she obviously said, there's a chance it could be something else too.

I had a psychological assessment done a while back that felt entirely rushed and the psychologist who did it left before she could even go over the results with me. It's been a while now but I'm finally speaking to someone else tomorrow to go over them. I do know she diagnosed me with unspecified bipolar based on the simple statement where I mentioned in passing that my mom thinks my brother might be bipolar, not that he actually has a diagnosis. I've never been manic, so I think it was a bs diagnosis personally and both my previous therapist and current psychiatrist suggested I get a second opinion.

So yeah we'll see where this goes.

I don't know how I would've handled the definite knowledge that I have autism as a child. Not simply bc of the lack of positive autistic representation (especially black female), but because I did not have any true trustworthy friends to confide in and process this information with. An ADHD diagnosis was already rough enough in my household. I still don't KNOW but I think my parents suspect.

I find it funny when someone self-diagnoses themselves with autism, allistics and neurotypicals are always the ones complaining about it. “You can’t diagnose yourself! You’re mocking people with actual autism! It isn’t valid! You’re taking away resources from actual autistic people!”

But, then diagnosed autistic people themselves will look at that same self-diagnosed person and be like: “Oh, yeah. You’re definitely one of us.”

Also, the question is this; What resources are we taking away from diagnosed Autistic people? What resources are there for us to take? And, how would we do that anyway?

Just realized I’ve been spelling neurodivergent wrong… 🤦🏽‍♀️

I made an email address with this name and spelt it wrong there too 😩

I’m trying to decide if I should correct my username or not lol

I grew up on around here and it feels nice to come back. I hope I’ll be able to make some friends and find a community here so that I can distance myself from all the noise on twitter and the other apps. I forgot how inspired I was after scrolling through beautiful pictures of simple moments of life. Friendship, love, landscapes, models and buildings. If you see this, say hi:) id love to stick around.

I might stick around regardless, the peacefulness of the quiet is what brought me home after all x
