Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition characterized by challenges in social interaction, communication, and repetitive behaviors. Autism awareness is crucial to fostering understanding, acceptance, and support for individuals with autism.

By promoting autism awareness, we can break down stereotypes and create inclusive environments. It's essential to recognize that autism is a spectrum, meaning individuals with ASD exhibit varying degrees of symptoms and strengths. Every person with autism is unique and deserves to be treated with respect and dignity.

Let's work together to build a world where individuals with autism feel valued and supported. By educating ourselves about autism, we can make a positive impact on the lives of those affected by this condition.

Finding the perfect gift for an autistic teen can be challenging but rewarding. Consider their unique interests and needs when selecting a present. Sensory-friendly items like weighted blankets, noise-canceling headphones, or fidget toys can provide comfort and support.

For those who enjoy learning, educational games, puzzles, or books on their favorite topics can be stimulating. Practical gifts like a digital planner or a subscription box tailored to their interests can also be appreciated. Remember, independence and self-expression are important for teens. Choose gifts that encourage these qualities, such as art supplies, musical instruments, or items for their hobbies.

Ultimately, the best gifts for autistic teens come from the heart. Show your care and support by choosing something that will bring joy and enrichment to their lives.

I’ve been feeling like my boyfriend has been super fucking condescending to me lately and he’s just unpleasant to talk to because he tries to ask me questions about how I can fix things, like he’s trying to guide me through a tutorial on how to feel better. Motherfucker if I wanted your help I would ASK. I want support and validation and love. Not to be interrogated about what I could do to not feel that way. We’re polyamorous and not each other’s life partners so I tolerate it because he does nice things to me and usually makes me feel good and supported, he just isn’t good at understanding my needs or emotions. Pisses me off because I literally could not be more clear. It’s obvious by my tone that I don’t like the way he responds to me when I tell him something that bothers me. Quit asking me a million questions and just fucking pretend to understand what I mean for a goddamn second. “Yeah babe I hear you.” That’s all I want. Not “well, what do you think would help with that?” You fucking listening to me without making me feel like you need to fix me would help goddamnit.

Anyways if anyone has memes about annoying boyfriends or condescending men, that would make me feel better so I feel like people relate.

Unreality & PTSD

One of the scariest things about allowing myself to accept my subjective emotions is how lost in unreality I frequently find myself now. Amidst all my diagnoses (autism, ADHD, bipolar, PTSD), reality has always been a touchy thing, especially with that last one.

Trauma convinces me things are dangerous, the people around me are dangerous, and I begin to behave as if I'm back in the situation I was in when I was traumatized. Every time I'm triggered I fall into a spiral of believing I'm in danger again, plotting my "escape", and suppressing my emotions. The worst part is not having insight.

I've always had insight. I've always had that characteristically autistic self awareness that makes therapy redundant. But with this, I'm not. My actions are automatic -- I don't even think about it. I have to force myself to think about it. I want to avoid it. I want to just escape it.

The unreality sets in the most when I confront these feelings. When it comes time to communicate these things to loved ones, to resolve my bitterness, to correct my perceptions -- it's hard to find the truth.

It's really difficult to trust anything because my abuser played with my reality like a toy. When people say they mean well, often there's no difference between someone who is lying and someone who's not.

How do I know your intentions? How do I know what you really mean? How do I know when I can't read social cues? When I can't tell someone is being malicious?

The answer is somewhere between "I can't" and some other solution. My therapist asked me if going over facts vs. fiction would help, but I can't help but think it would only make it worse. I always try and think logically -- I always think in terms of black and white, right and wrong, fact or fiction. So far, that hasn't served me much.

In fact, it makes things worse. Obsessing over what could potentially be a "sign" of danger is exhausting and my perception is bent towards fear. I'm biased. And even when I'm not, even when I know "the truth" logically speaking, there's always a feeling in the back of my mind telling me I could still be wrong.

That feeling in your chest is often described as intuition, doubt, fear. Which is it? It's identical to those things. Do I listen if it's intuition? Do I ignore if it's doubt?

My only answer for these conundrums so far is a frightening one, and one given to me by someone I love: having faith in my safety.

Sometimes, I just have to believe I'm safe even when I don't feel like it. I have to believe it won't happen again even though every sense, every perception, every feeling is screaming at me telling me it is.

And it's terrifying.

A Formal Apology for My Absence

So, before I begin, I want to take this time to thank all of you wonderful people here because of your continuous support, I've been able to accomplish so much in such a short amount of time, and my dream of becoming a writer, discussing my experiences as an individual with AuDHD, and being an influencer, are all coming into fruition.

However, I am sorry for disappearing for a while, it wasn't my intention but life got the better of me for a bit, now I'm back in action, ready to meet new lovely neurodivergent and LGBTQ people and continue posting for my fellow mutuals.

I also have a huge new announcement to share with you all and one I'm quite proud of!!

Here goes....

I've written and published my first Article on a website called Medium, I know it might not seem like much but to me, it's everything, especially due to my struggle with dyslexia and grammatical language impairment.

because of the amount of time, dedication, and effort I put into my writing, despite it being lackluster at times, this is a HUGE achievement for me!

Please check this out when you get the chance!

ADHD is so dangerous. Yesterday, I was content with the thought of being dead, where as today, I feel like I could take on the world.

[22degreehalo]

Mmmmmmmmmmm literally why is it so goddamn hard for people to understand that you can try hard at something and still fuck up?????

The ADHD subreddit is normally incredibly supportive and in full agreement that ADHD is a disability, and yet today a guy posted about having a young daughter how and his wife has lost all patience with his ADHD symptoms. And he talked over and over about solutions he's thinking of and how much he cares about this despite his wife screaming at him and he just needed to vent. But like all the top comments are saying 'ugh OP stop being a victim and try harder.'

Like he mentioned looking for solutions??? And yet suddenly 'have you even tried lists' is a totally reasonable counterargument about how lazy and selfish this guy is???

And of course the fact that he expresses sadness is Bad, Apparently because he's being a 'victim' and just lingering in his own misery or whatever. Nothing to do with the disdain people show for men displaying emotion.

Like. Disabilities do not go away when life gets harder. Not even when you're responsible for other people. Yes people have to try but you are in 0 goddamn place to judge that a person on the internet is not trying hard ENOUGH based on one damn post.

If you're autistic AND have bipolar, PLEASE engage!

Hi,

So not to be a total freak, but if you're someone with both autism and bipolar, I'd love to talk with you. I want to compare notes.

Trying to do any amount of research on autism and comorbid bipolar disorder feels like pulling teeth. Because a lot of late diagnosed autistics were misdiagnosed with bipolar first, those resources and conversations tend to dominate the search results.

Maybe I'm just not search engine savvy enough -- though I know Google keeps getting worse. But anyways, the resources, information, and even just the personal experiences of bipolar autistic people are few and far between, and MAJORLY lacking. And this is DESPITE the fact some studies have shown autistic people are at a greater likelihood of having bipolar disorder too!

If you have any resources (and your personal experiences count!) please share whatever you're comfortable with. For one, I want to know if atypical presentations of bipolar (i.e. mixed features, psychotic features, etc.) are more common among autistic people than allistic bipolar folks.

Not to mention all the ways depression and mania can impact sensory issues and social processing! There's just so much to explore!

Much love 💝

“She was beautiful, but not like those girls in the magazines. She was beautiful, for the way she thought. She was beautiful, for the sparkle in her eyes when she talked about something she loved. She was beautiful, for her ability to make other people smile, even if she was sad. No, she wasn’t beautiful for something as temporary as her looks. She was beautiful, deep down to her soul.”

My next blog post will be called;

My Experience as an ADHD Child in a Neurotypical School Setting!

This will be a heavily emotional topic to discuss especially for me, these were the absolute worst moments of my life.

However, how many of you as a child or children today are sick of being forced to work well in a Neurotypical School setting?

The school system needs to change for the betterment of all children, not only neurotypicals!

Kids with disabilities and mental illness deserve a chance at learning and succeeding in school as much as every other child!

Being a kid myself, I should have been accepted and supported by my teachers... not to be treated as a burden because I was too distracting to be around neurotypical children!

I know most, if not all of you felt the same way when you were young!

you, article writer for dazed! are you normal about disabled people?
