#adhd autism solidarity indeed

[pixies-and-poets]

I like to think of Phantom and Woodrow as the classic ADHD/autism solidarity pair, lol. For Phantom it verges more on headcanon than actual evidence, but: the way I see it, since he was created with a specific purpose, his brain is such that he hyperfocuses on his interests (music and acting) and can have difficulty paying attention to anything else. Since he's a ghost, he doesn't HAVE to sleep or eat- although he enjoys doing so, he often gets so into his work that he forgets to do those things. He's full of energy, is never still, doesn't realize how loud he is constantly (or if he does, he doesn't care).

They are very different but they understand each other indeed. ❤️

Thinking about these tags and like, I haven't really ever been that explicit about depicting/writing Woodrow as autistic, but. I have more to say. Man is literally so cryptic that Jeanie, a literal computer, has to filter through his unique way of communicating and interpret what the hell he's talking about for the others to understand. But- via doing this, of all the people she met on their adventure, it seems that Woodrow affected Jeanie the most (well, except for Sullivan lol). His poetry may not have been popular among his fellow Rabbids but it was so strong to her, that it literally helped teach an AI how to feel. How to appreciate art. Autistic people are sometimes called robotic, but it was a robot who understood him, who appreciated him, whose existence he affected and changed forever. Because she came to him without, say, Beep-0's preconceptions and assumptions and snootiness. She made the effort to listen to him and accept him as he was, and learn from him as she was trying to learn from everyone.

And as someone who feels like art and writing is the only way I can successfully communicate in any meaningful way.... gosh this game makes me so emotional y'all (but you already knew that)

[Side note, I don't talk enough about how much I love and appreciate Jeanie]

Welcome to our community!:

http://neurocommunity.blogfree.net/m/?t=5975847

This blog is meant for neurodiversive people to interact, give advise, vent and express. This is your space.

• Who am I? •

My name is Chris and I'm the host of a system. We are Chris, Noah, Angel, Dani and Emery. In terms of neurodivergencies, we are:

• OSDD (self-dx)

• Autistic (self-dx)

• BPD (pro-dx)

• OCD (self-dx)

• ADHD (self-dx)

• The community •

We follow the principles of the Neurodiversity manifesto:

• The social model of disability: Disability is caused by society creating barriers to the equal of impaired (or neurologically different) people.

• The neurodiversity approach: Humanity is neurologically diverse; people have different brain wiring. Autism, dyslexia, ADHD and others are neurological differences. We want human neurodiversity to be accepted not suppressed or cured.

• Opposition to austerity: We need adequate public services, benefits and wages. Government and local authority cuts to these are a political choice, not an economic necessity.

• Socialism, democracy and solidarity: As a prospective Labour Party manifesto, this document bases itself on labour movement principles. We want to challenge the deep social roots of discrimination against neurodivergent people.

• Nothing about us without us: Policies and services, and the Manifesto itself, must be shaped by autistic and other neurodivergent people.

QUOTE

Nothing about us without us

We state also this rules:

• NSFW content is NOT allowed.

• Triggering content should be under trigger warning.

• Self-dx and doubting people are allowed.

• Neuritypicals are (indeed) allowed if they are supporters or questionning.

• Autism labels such as "1/2/3" or "high/low functioning" should be tagged into the trigger warning.

• Interact with respect. Insults will be delated.

Awesome here’s mine:

Krupp

He has several undiagnosed disorders ranging from asthma to anxiety and depression to ASD (here’s the kicker) ADHD! His mother’s neglect led to him going undiagnosed. In particular his SPD is SEVERE to the point that he can’t even go near a loud party because of the stimulation.

He would willingly and quickly adopt Melvin. He subconsciously notices his neglect thus why he showers him with attention and allows him to display his inventions to the school for hours on end.

He is well aware of George and Harold’s ADHD and Melvins autism. He also understands he has plenty of kids with adhd who behave just fine and is harsh to keep a quiet environment for sensory sensitive children.

He is a Mystic Jew, not an Orthodox Jew, he doesn’t feel like he understands his religion very well, but he’s actually quite intelligent and interested specifically in Jewish Gematria. His respect towards the holidays comes from this, save for Halloween, which he actually views as demonic. Jewish Mystics have to be academically and numerically minded, which he is. As a general mystic, I can see him having similar beliefs as me.

He actually is the first person in his family to understand Judiasm, as his mother and brother are so deeply confused they believe in Jesus as part of their religion, somehow.

George

He and Harold are very athletic after dealing with so much monster shit. Athletic enough for Mr. Meaner to loosen up on them.

He’s a bit of a book worm. He reads a lot to inspire him to write.

Super into Breakcore!

More on the hyperactive side of ADHD. Becomes restless and anxious if he can’t move enough.

His mother makes amazing cookies.

Harold

When he learns gum isn’t technically a good, his new favorite food becomes Hot Cheetos. Still barely a food but a step up.

Hates his dad to the point of apathy. Like, he gets revenge on his dad by simply not caring and rarely mentioning around anyone, even George. In fact, he opens up to him around Krupp in a very underhanded manner, coldly and sarcastically for which they have solidarity to some degree.

He accidentally calls Krupp/ CU dad atleast once and dashed out the door. It’s never mentioned again.

Harold becomes close with his sister as they age, Harold being a doting brother and Heidi a funloving brat.

Mr. Meaner

He’s a party man and part time auctioneer. Like, I just love his energy. He’s a pagan who loves the pagan side of holidays a bit too much.

He’s less fit than his students but can dance the night away.

He has no idea what an asthma is. Poor Melvin.

He loosens up off school grounds and can be really friendly in fact.

Would murder someone if needed.

Ms. Ribble

Would indeed marry Mr. Krupp.

Genuinely mean even deep down, like why Dav Pilkey why did her niceness in that one book wear off or whatever it was?

Will quit as soon as she gets herself a man, has been through three divorces, which she initiated.

Unable to get pregnant due to a sad disorder. She hates children out of spite because of this. More bent on torturing the parents rather than the children out of jealousy.

Edith

An alien. Everyone agrees on this right?

Has the alien version of ADHD and still learning her way around earth.

Likes to scribble and draw. Has a genuine love for cooking.

Can be easily annoyed. Has mild food aggression.

Kipper

No longer a bully.

He likes playing music in a band composed of his friends. He sings about things he’s passionate about.

Can indeed annoy Krupp. He doesn’t like their form of music at all, and gets annoyed if they play too loud.

Becomes acquainted with George and Harold and apologizes for bullying them, even doing small things to make up for it, like negotiating with his uncle to get them less detention.

Still a bad influence. Doesn’t mind to expose the children to drugs and alcohol. Party person like Mr. Meaner. Albeit, he’s a die hard libertarian who things drug laws are deeply unconstitutional.

I will also add to this more later.

Well, since everyone else has listed their own CU headcanons, I’d figure I’d list a few of my own

I’m gonna start with Krupp and Captain:

Krupp

As a kid, he was in chorus (it was his mother’s idea). And he’s a surprisingly good singer, but he’s pretty shy about it. Edith once caught him singing an Elvis song to himself, but as soon as he realized he was being watched, he clamped up.

Growing up, whenever he was asked the question, “If you could have any superpower, what would it be?”, he’d give the same answer every time; flying.

He wouldn’t mind being a father someday, it’s just that he’s afraid that he’ll wind up treating his kid like his own father treated him.

Believe it or not, there are actually kinds of punishment that he will draw the line at. He had heard horror stories of the more vicious punishments that other schools have done to their students, and felt sick to his stomach just thinking about them. During one of his earlier years as principal, he saw a substitute hit a misbehaving 1st grader so hard with a ruler that it actually snapped in half. He fired her on the spot.

Before he and Edith started dating, the only member of the JHES staff that he has ever had somewhat of a “friendship” (if you can even call it that) with is Mr. Meaner. They were on the wrestling team together in high school.

He’s red-green colorblind, but was never “diagnosed”.

Can be extremely protective of his brother and nephew.

The frequency of his “memory blackouts” are really starting to scare him.

Captain Underpants

Is fascinated by rain, but every time he tries to go out in it, he blacks out and can’t remember what happened. He wants to know what it feels like, just once.

It takes a lot to make him angry, but one sure-fire way to do it would be to either threaten or hurt George and Harold in front of him. But not even God will save you if you do…

He’s a hugger. If you’re a friend of his, and he thinks you need a hug, you’re getting one!

He might not be the brightest crayon in the box, but he’s surprisingly good at reading people’s emotions. He almost always seems to know when someone needs cheering up.

Kids seem to almost gravitate to him, mostly because he’s a big kid at heart himself.

A while after he saves to school from Poopypants, George and Harold tell him that apparently, a few of the girls in their grade have a crush on him. He’s not only flattered at this, but thinks it’s adorable.

I’ll add more later.

Basically I’m joking about solidarity. Yknow those posts that spread positivity towards people with adhd and/or autism? The ones that say things like “have a nice day” or “your drums are beautiful”?

I thought it would be funny to joke about the opposite. It is indeed a joke. So instead of the solidarity between people with adhd and/or autism that spreads positivity , there is hostility (which, in this post, is not real hostility) where we fight for dominance.

Essentially I find the subversion of a popular type of posts funny.

Everyone talks about adhd and/or autistic solidarity. No. No more peace. Adhd and/or autistic hostility. Your fidget toy is stupid and mine is superior and makes a funny noise. Your noise canceling headphones are ruining your outfit. You have color reducing eyewear well my special interest could beat yours. I hyperfocus on things you couldn’t even dream of.
