Hey, Neurodivergent People!!

RB this with the foods you tell people you’re allergic to so they don’t force you to eat them

Bc apparently sensory issues aren’t bad enough to qualify as a reason to not eat something 🙄

ND culture is explaining jokes because you don’t understand most jokes and your worried others won’t either

And today, another round of my absolute FAVORITE game!

‘Do I genuinely think that couple is cute (do their personalities, interests and life goals align?) or do I just want a relationship?’

[ID: The strong handshake meme. The left hand is labeled "polyams", the right hand is labeled "aros" and the big strong handshake is labeled "idk what but it's powerful". End ID]

I seriously don't know what this energy is why is there so much overlap

Asexual problems

There’s this super nice guy at my youth group who has a black ring on his right middle finger.

HOWEVER, he happens to be

1) the brother of a girl who tormented me through all of middle school,

2) the cousin of the guy who gave me abandonment and trust issues

and 3) probably wearing the ring because it’s FaShIoNaBlE

AND THEN there’s the ONE time you don’t

and then you’re STRESSED and ANXIOUS

because you have NO IDEA what’s happening

That Autism Mood™️ when you start a new show

and have to block all tags for it

so you don’t spend 8 1/2 hours

going down the rabbit hole

that is the Wikipedia page for the fandom

and you find out who lives

and who dies

and when

and you’re sad because the show is spoiled before you’ve even finished Season 1

Okay

Step 1: Be Queer

Step 2: Be neurodivergent

Step 3: Be a feminist

Step 4: Adopt any human being who you feel needs adopting and become their parental figure. (Most of my children are also queer and/or neurodivergent, but that’s not necessary)

Step 5: Profit™️

Okay everyone it’s official

I’m the Queer, Neurodivergent, Feminist Mom to everyone at my youth group

That is all

Friendly reminder!!

You don’t have to know EVERYTHING about a special interest for it to be a special interest. 😁

Enjoy your stuff! Don’t let anyone make your rules for you!

If I ever say “autism is my superpower” please know I don’t mean it in the suburban mom puzzle piece bumper sticker way. I mean it in the fact that I started using a trampoline as a stimming tool last summer and now I have the endurance of a camel and calf muscles that could stop a train.

#that’s the whole thing

have some neurodivergent a/c headcanons because i want to.

Aziraphale is autistic

Literature is Big Special Interest

“Why would I ever want to sell my books? They’re mine and they’re important!”

He’s reread all the books in his library like 90 times now, and he’s gonna do it 90 times more.

Very touch averse. You have to be a very good friend or acquaintance to be allowed to touch him in any capacity, and when you cannot have your touches be light and gentle – pressure must be there or his skin will just start crawling.

Knows a lot of big words and has a very large vocabulary, but often forgets (or thinks he forgot) what those words mean.

Quite impulsive, but when he gives a thought time, it’s the smartest and most calculated thing you’ve ever seen.

Processing…

“Hey, can you get me this thing?” “What?” “Can you–” “Oh, of course I can.”

*bumps arm into something* “……………………..oh ouch.”

“Oh, he was being sarcastic.”

Always makes an Uncomfortable amount of eye contact. It’s not off-putting to him, eye contact is a social norm where he is so he has to do it – he just doesn’t understand how long it’s supposed to last.

This, however, can be good when used for scaring off customers. 

Only puts up with Crowley’s reckless driving because he knows he’d probably be just as bad with his poor coordination.

Tartan is stylish, but the eye-strain that comes from following it’s pattern is also very nice.

Emotions are so difficult, he can barely ever decipher his own feelings. Sometimes he can’t even tell if he’s feeling a negative or positive emotion, he only knows it’s Affecting him somehow.

Change is Bad. Must keep everything the Same. Do not Move things. 

Crowley is the Only Exception. 

Except not really. He can deal with Crowley’s constant change, but it makes it harder to recognize him when he doesn’t make a Big Entrance. 

He’s faceblind, essentially.

Switches between empathy levels at the drop of a coin. 

Pressure good….Layers…..heavy clothes……..

He could never explain his thought process if you asked him for an answer. You got an answer, that’s all you’re getting. Do Not Ask For More.

What Do You Mean I’m Whispering? This Is My Normal Volume.

“I will not walk into the wall this time. It will not happen. I will pay attention and move at the right time. I can do this.” *walks into the wall*

Stims are very subtle and easy to miss. It’s a mix of subtle things being stimmy and an acquired skill from trying to hide it. When in private, his stims get so much more intense and so much more satisfying.

His pinky ring is Very Nice and Very Stimmy. It’s also something that he’s not questioned for wearing all the time.

Doesn’t often go nonverbal – usually he just goes semiverbal – but when he does, something Very Bad has happened and he is absolutely on the verge of a shutdown.

While angels generally aren’t great at human social interaction due to not being on Earth since Bible times, he’s only slightly better.

Crowley has ADHD

His impulse control is shot. He has a thought; he will act. No, it does not matter that he has something better to do, this is important for reasons of I Don’t Know.

Variety is less the spice of life and more the entire flavor. He Must change things or Else (he doesn’t know what Else is, but he’s not about to find out). 

Memory is

Crowley, sending in a memo to Hell 90 years late: “Hi. I have nothing to say for myself.”

“What am I doing here?” *3 weeks later* “Oh fuck I had to do that temptation!”

Will literally find any excuse to sit in a chair in the worst ways. They look uncomfortable (and sometimes they are), but it’s either that or constant movement so pick one.

Related Point: He cannot sit still. He will go to very strange lengths to keep himself entertained.

*organizes a bunch of small objects into a line by size* “This is how you have fun.”

There Is Noise. Now I Cannot Focus. 

Alternatively: There Is No Noise. Now I Cannot Think.

Interrupts everyone. He claims that it’s just because he’s rude, but it’s really because if he doesn’t say it now he’ll never find the chance to say it again because he won’t remember.

Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria KING. You sounded even slightly angry that one day in Golgotha, 21 AD? He’s still thinking about it.

Long hair…fun to play with. Short hair…fun to play with. Hair…fun to play with.

Very easily overwhelmed. In the social sense and the sensory sense. Sometimes things are Too Much.

“Stop yelling.” “bro what this is my normal voice idk what you mean.”

If you touch him while he’s hyperfocusing, you better be prepared because you will literally startle him into fight-or-flight. You brought him back to reality and now he doesn’t know what to do. Good job.

Has so many pairs of glasses, not because he thinks he’ll break them (well, that’s actually part of it. His fidgets can be Bad), but because he knows for a fact he’ll loose them if he takes them off.

“Gamma Aquilae, also known as Tarazed, a nickname derived from a Persian phrase that is related to its connection to the star Altair, is a fairly young star star, only 100 million years old, that is nearly 6x the mass of the sun, 95x the radius of the sun, and 2500x the luminosity of the sun, making it very easy to see to the naked eye, even if it is 395 lightyears, or 121 parasecs, from the sun, w–”

No, let him talk. He has a lot to say about stars and space. Let him finish.

Often goes on long winded rants to himself. He has been caught multiple times walking around/chilling in his living room arguing with nobody about random things, like the state of politics in Sweden or how bread should be made.

“Aziraphale…why are you here?” “We had a meeting today.” “…We did?” “Yes?? I thought we agreed to meet up today?” “Was that today??” “Yes????”

Aziraphale understands, though.

You ever press against your eyes so they do that color thingy with the shapes? Yeah, that’s the good stuff.

To be fair, he’s not the only demon with ADHD. He and Beelzebub have a bit of an understanding.

Thank you for coming to my TEDtalk.
