extraordinary attorney woo is so important to me because to me the show is one huge shout of affirmation that woo young woo is loved. by herself, by her friends, by her work colleagues, by her dad, by her boyfriend, by the writers of the show, by the actor who plays her, by the audience. she’s loved. not in spite of her autism, not because of it - she’s autistic and she’s loved. sometimes imperfectly, sometimes ignorantly, but she’s loved loved loved like the human being she is.

#SORRY TO BE EXCRUCIATINGLY CORNY. but i love her. i love the show #not even in a ‘it taught me i’m worthy of love 🥺’ way because i knew that already!!!! #but for someone ELSE to say it!!! for a show to say autistic people are human beings #different not less. no questions asked. no arguments. #💕💕💕 #extraordinary attorney woo #brain tag

izzy is actually a really fun guy normally but hes having a manic episode so hes getting no sleep and hes irritable as fuck and extremely sexually frustrated plus hes autistic and his routine has been changed out of nowhere. so basically hes on the verge of suicide.

2024 i'm actually going to try to stop regretting when i did or said something weird

it's been a slow process letting go of my masking habits, but now i also need to let go of the internalized shame that goes with it

I read your list, and I would gently encourage you to talk to someone who can diagnose you. I was diagnosed with ADHD late in life (like in my 40's) and once I was properly treated, my life changed completely for the better. Executive function that actually functions--amazing. And lots of things I did that I thought were normal, cause I'd done them my whole life, turned out to be coping, masking, and/or stiming behaviours. Being diagnosed gave me a perspective and peace about myself that I had been missing my entire life. I hope I haven't overstepped.

you haven’t overstepped at all, thank you so much for taking the time to message! i’m so glad you received a diagnosis and things turned around so well for you 💖 i’m seriously considering going to see somebody to talk things through recently, since i realised i can’t stop thinking about it! <3

autism hack if you like a soft squishy stim toy you can go to ulta and get a multipack of knockoff beauty blenders for like $10-15. they’re nice and squishy and come in different shapes and if you’re feeling extra silly you can get them wet and make them get all big and even softer. and it’s really fun to bop em against your face because that’s literally their intended purpose like they’re designed to feel nice when you bop em against your face

#beck rambles #brain tag #actually autistic #doesn't even have to be ulta specifically that's just where i got mine #i've literally only used one of them as a makeup applicator the rest are toys babey

your 'the time blindness hate' tag reminded me of how i try to explain some of my worst time blindness to people, which is "yes, I know that one thing is happening on saturday, and I know that another thing is happening on saturday, but I cannot conceive independently that this means BOTH THINGS are happening on saturday unless it is pointed out to me" and everyone is like ??? why not??? they're both on saturday??? and i'm like YEAH IF I COULD EXPLAIN IT I WOULD FIX IT BUT ALAS. I'M JUST BUILT LIKE THIS

explaining time blindness to people with a sense of time is so hard 😭😭 the worst part is that people just think im fucking with them. it's something that's so innate for most people, so obviously if im getting it wrong i must be lying or joking or something. got in a lot of trouble for that as a kid. when i started my last job my boss kept getting on my case for spending too long on tasks and i would just have to be like "idk what to say, im just as surprised as you are that i spent 4 hours fixing the Ethernet cables in that office"

hilariously, what helped slowly improve my sense of time (other than medication, now on adderall i actually know how long an hour is) was a friend that found it baffling/funny how absolutely wrong it was. he would turn to me and be like "and how long do you think it took for the TA to hand out papers?" and i'd be like "idk 10 min?" "wrong. it was 4."

#bidoof answers #sexysmeagolshitposting #love ADHD :) love when my disability actually disables me and people act like im doing shit on purpose to inconvenience them :)) #my old boss got over it. or at least stopped getting on me about it. and started giving me more specific deadlines #brain tag

Didn’t have any solid shirts for #redinstead BUT I do have some red basketball shorts—and I’m pretty sure rainbow is considered Our Colors also. Speaking mostly in those good vocal stims from Mx. Fleming in celebration of Autism Acceptance Day.

As such, I’m nonbinary, I’m bisexual, I’m physically disabled, and I’m autistic—but most importantly…I’m like an American Girl doll that got left out in the rain. I’m lovely. 🌈

See, here's the thing: if I'm gonna be going around with both ADHD and autism anyway, then I just think it'd be really sweet if I could AT LEAST sort of... target 'em. Lemme switch them in and out. When I want to.

Like, okay, great: this project over here would benefit from some high-level attention-to-detail and careful analysis, maybe a touch of deeply agonising perfectionism? just for good measure?? Sounds great, autism powers away! But then, oh!! that other thing would go much better with a big ole dose of possibly unhinged no-thoughts-only-inspo creative-central ADHD juice?? Easy as, can do, coming right up!

It just doesn't seem like such an unreasonable request, y'know?

#look #it's fucked is what i'm saying #i half-ass so many things i really shouldn't #and then i get trapped in this fucking need to whole-ass things that really don't even matter all that much #i'm dying out here #brain tag

just realised this is why my mother gets mad at me for making ‘sweeping statements’ and ‘judging people’ and doesn’t get my hunches and vibes and intuitions

#not mad mad u know but it’s a point where we often cannot see the others perspective #but yeah just realised i will say i don’t like how x guy we know talks about women when what i’m picking up on is like #what youtube videos he’s imbibed whereas she doesn’t pick up on patterns like that at all #brain tag

*insert pointing at self in mirror meme* you are NOT allowed to make life decisions with potentially extremely severe and long lasting blowback on under 3 hours of sleep, i dont care HOW bad you feel

another autism thought: it kinda sucks that neurotypicals accuse us of not trying to communicate, and then in the same breath dismiss our attempts to communicate in a way that makes sense to us

#brain tag #like. i have a playlist that's solely songs i relate to deeply #and if someone listened to it they'd understand a lot about me #but also i'm not brave enough to share it cause itll get dismissed anyway yknow

[omgpoindexter]

been making a list so i can show it to somebody that knows about these things one day (i won’t because i will not book an appointment to speak to somebody, not because i don’t want to but because i will not get round to it!)

#this is just a list of my thoughts lately. as in the last week #HELP! #brain tag

[elliegoose]

okay this tweet in a thread about "gifted kids" and "bad students" has just blown my fucking mind. as someone who has identities that society strongly dislikes (neurodivergent, mentally ill, chronically ill trans lesbian) but who grew up being perceived as one of society's most favored children (cishet white boy who gets straight As, doesn't make trouble, and comes from a wealthy family), it really gets deep into the core of my own personal obsessive anxieties around how i am perceived and judged by others from a moral standpoint.

like this tweet just summarized a massive part of what is so fucked up about society. it's definitely gonna be living in my head for a while.

i hope no one thinks its going well for me rn lol

#kankum #brain tag #just had to myself confront the fact and then talk about the fact that i am #about 1 second away from a the very least drug dependence if not just straight up addiction #its still pretty 'early on' ig? #like i still feel relatively in control #my spendings ok #and i havent experienced any adverse side effects or ods #But it clearly is becoming a problem #in the days i have been home there is not one where i havent been high for a little while now #not all day but usually by 4/5pm #its how im coping w stress and being overwhelmed #etc etc #and yes #do Not get me wrong #this is an improvement on suicide attempt every week #but it is not sustainable and not a long term solution
