im so sick of people answering the question they think im “really asking” instead of the one i actually fucking asked. if i ask “what time are we leaving?” i am not looking for “itll take 20 minutes to get there :)” or “it shouldnt be raining yet when we do!” i just want to know what. fucking. time. we are leaving. i dont even need a specific answer! fuckin like “between 5 and 5:30” would be better than nothing!

im just so fucking annoyed that everyone is constantly trying to read between the lines or find subtext where there ISNT ANY. ugh.

A guide to making boring chores fun for people with AuHD

I really hate folding and putting away my clean clothes, it's so dull and boring. I never can find the motivation to do it and when I do It's really hard to keep focused. So I've come up with a way to make it fun and exciting for the little hamster that controls my brain to enjoy!

I bought a bunch of opaque plastic tubs with lids of various sizes and trash bags. When my clothes are clean and dry I put a few of them in each bag, put in the tub close the lid and hide it around my yard and neighborhood! I make up clues and turn it into a scavenger hunt. It's perfect, I've found a way to keep myself interested and excited about putting away laundry.

I've done it few times and it's really cool and keeps me interested!

I don't worry that someone is going to steal my clothes because I carry a handgun on me at all times and I live in a stand your ground state.

So it's great, I highly recommend this to all my neurodivergent besties <3

The Best Autism Representation I've Seen <3

[brainrotroulette]

Telemachus and Pan brothers au being the perfect little allegory for growing up neurodivergent with a neurotypical sibling

But WAIT GB ✋🏽 Don't you have a neurotypical sibling to your neurodivergent self for this dynamic at home?

YES BUT I DON'T CARE. SIT DOWN AND PICTURE

Pan's ears making the sounds around him all the more louder b/c goat ears are IMMENSELY more sensitive to sounds than humans (they are prey animals) and Tele always handing him a little cotton or beeswax (like father, like son) to stick in there before they enter any crowded spaces

Pan wondering why his excitement manifests so largely that only he has to be gently reminded to use "quiet feet" and an "indoor voice" lest tiles go cracking beneath his hooves, wondering HOW Telemachus never manages to so frequently break things or rules.

Telemachus, tho, being the one thing standing between his little brother and big trouble 9/10 times

Pan always feeling more comfortable and at peace around animals than people, very many cuddles with argos away from the visiting diplomats so long as he's being quiet (god of the wilds stuff, sure, but iykyk)

Pan being unable to stand the feeling of the princely clothes his big brother wears with such ease on his skin. more god of the wild stuff, his body rejects the normal conventions of civilization BUT AGIN IYKYK

Struggling with manners at the dinner table or around officials, struggling to be anything but himself and looking to Telemachus to absorb as much as he can. Tele catching on and making sure to go slowly and clearly with whatever he is doing whenever Pan is watching

(sighs in obsessed) Expect more doodles and musings.

I was rambling to my mother on how the nether update in minecraft unintentionally mirrors the process of ecological succession and she told me to take my adderall

so fucking sick of people saying im “angry” or “trying to start an argument” because thats literally just my voice!! “no need to get frustrated :)” im not! frustrated!! THAT IS LITERALLY JUST WHAT MY FUCKING VOICE SOUNDS LIKE!!

[caps transcription: “that is literally just what my fucking voice sounds like!!” end caps transcription.]

[pastacurls]

Idk if this is a normal neurodivergent thing but oftentimes when I get new hyperfixations they like??? Make me a better person?????

Idk something about how certain characters make me wanna act like them and be as good of a person as they are or whatever

[kkcooper]

Wondering:

1. Is the reason #ASD & #ADHD are often co-morbid because our brains are very sensitive to nuanaces/inauthenticty/the environment AND there's so much going on in the environment around us?

2. The "sudden" perception "why is everyone #neurodivergent now is that modern civilization is inherently unhealthy for us as species; ND peeps are like the canary in the coal mine?

Comments welcome.

I like you! Here’s some incorrect quotes with the dennys

@piffany666 @lunaritychuwolf

(itd be so bad if someone were to draw these./s)

[eelfuneral]

As an autistic person with co-occurring ADHD, I’m really bothered by the way some parts of the autism community treat the ADHD community. Here is some of what I’m seeing:

People being hyper-vigilant about people talking over us to a point where they shut down people with ADHD talking about traits that they have in common with us: There is a big difference between noting a shared or similar experience and completely taking over a conversation.

Making comments about how people with inattentive ADHD “are really just autistic”, often followed by a comment about how the person in question or their doctor is “too ableist” to admit it: Yes, many people who are autistic and don’t have ADHD get mis-diagnosed with ADHD, and yes, many traits of the two disabilities look very similar, but you still have no place to make this judgment about a stranger in the internet. A person with what could be seen as autistic traits stating that they just have ADHD may very well just have ADHD. It is unlikely that they are trying to avoid being “lumped in with those autistic people” so much as they are giving accurate information about their disability.

Treating ADHD like it’s not a “real” disability: I see this outside of our community too, but it has definitely bled in and mixed with a “they aren’t really disabled, unlike me” attitude. ADHD is absolutely a disability. Yes, it would remain one even in a collectivist utopia without capitalism. Yes, it can make life difficult in really disabling ways. You are not the disability police, so turn in your badge and leave other people alone.

Telling AUHD people that the term AUHD is “offensive” because the acronym contains a D for “disorder”: If you don’t have Autism and ADHD, then you don’t get to police what we call ourselves. The D stands for the “disorder” in ADHD specifically, and it is mashed together with AU to make a short, snappy label. Until they come up with a new name for ADHD, the D is likely here to stay. No, we are not calling you “disordered” for being autistic. WE ARE AUTISTIC TOO.

Me and my sister both having AuHD is so funny bc it's like I got one half of the symptoms list and she got there other.

like for examples:

Me: what is that noise? Is the fridge going into interstellar mode or something.

Sis: huh? *Has been playing loud music all day and cannot hear anything?*

Sis: I need you to lay on me and give me affection.

Me: if you touch me one more time I will punt you into the sun. Try me I dare you

Sis: *getting scolded for fidgeting too much in bad ways*

Me: *gets scolded for not moving from one spot till absolutely necessary*

Me: c'mon I promise it's good food. It's all mushy (positive) and seasoned (positive)

Sis: it's mushy? (Negative) And seasoned? (Negative)

Me: *will never talk about special interests till I trust them* So, how are you doing?

Sis: *can't talk about anything but special interest* I want a mace for Christmas. Look!

Me: interesting
