When I was younger and researching the autism diagnosis criteria and symptoms, I thought âoh I couldnât POSSIBLY be autistic.â Because when I read âtakes everything literallyâ I thought it literally meant EVERYTHING and I was like âI donât take EVERYTHING literally, just most things!â And I just realized the other day that it didnât actually mean EVERYTHING and that was an overstatement.

I think I'm wearing this t-shirt inside out is an entire neurodivergent mood.
https://www.facebook.com/julietordinarylife/
Time Blindness. Time Agnosia. Dysautochromia. A major trait in ADHD. A slightly less major trait in many autistics. Because autism and ADHD share 80% comorbidities.
I need to have a calendar to tell me when I've had my meds, a shower, a meal, a certain task...
I can recall eating a specific meal but damned if I know what day it was...
I can quote every episode of 'Futurama' and I know about major fanfiction trends that happened in the TMNT fandom back in 2006...
I think I'm wearing this tee shirt inside out.

I feel like every time i bring up that Luca's and Alberto's sea monster forms make up the colors of the gay man pride flag I'm always like laughed off as if I'm making a joke but like. I'm not. Fucking look at them like HELLO??? IM SO SERIOUS
#luca#luca 2021#pixar luca#alberto scorfano#luca paguro#luberto#im so fr#ive said this to irls a couple times but i think they kept assuming i was joking#literally look at their color palettes and then look at me and then look at the flag and then look at me again#autism moment maybe but where is the hyperbole in this statement#its not even a stretch like i can COLORPICK THEM.

As part of my ADHD diagnosis intake process (or whatever you call this), thereâs a massive quiz I have to take. I THOUGHT I was prepared. I was not.
Aside from leaving it to almost the last minute (I have a week to complete), I just... these questions... what. WHAT. I mean, some of them are super easy, but a good chunk of them have caused a level of internal anguish I normally assign to tax returns, math, or social interactions with strangers.
I donât know if this proves anything. Iâm only half way through and part of me wants to cry.
I think a good chunk of the anxiety stems from the hard dichotomy of a simple âtrue or falseâ answer system. I am in hell.
#april rambles#mental health#kinda sorta maybe ADHD#aaaaaa I need clarification!#and nuance!#brain freaking out over way too many of these#i have an unfortunate tendency towards hyperbole hence my additional anxiety#how can you exaggerate and downplay in the same breath? it's a skill#sitting here rocking back and forth pondering#stuffed plush goldfish in one arm and eggnog in the other#STUPID BRAIN ACK#and i've been sort of not really joking that if it's not adhd then it's probably autism#that's what others have thought anyway#why not both? ahhahaha naw

feels like the isolation is a gushing wound and going to the centre is just a small bandage. i think perhaps i am not really ever going to feel okay unless something miraculous happens. i am retaining some semblance of sanity now that I'm leaving the house and socializing with non-family more than once a week, but i am still hurting more than I can really tolerate and I don't know what to do about it. there doesn't seem to be a fix for this that I can enact.
#part of me wonders if going to the centre is helping or hurting more#but i think it's definitely helping more. however it is definitely also hurting/making some things worse#i just wish I could be operating at the same level as most of society#and i feel so egotistical when I talk abt this#but like. why am i always so fucking aware of every single thing going on#and everyone else is just painfully oblivious#I AM USING HYPERBOLE. ITS NOT EVERYONE. i know im not the only person ever lmao#when i got my autism diagnosis i thought oh good okay so THIS is why im such a freak#and now I've met so many other autistic ppl irl and um. no. no thats definitely not it still.#yes its probably part of it but im also just. so fucking traumatized i guess idk. i hate this so much#i just want to be the same and fit in and not be analyzing everything and be able to actually speak my mind#and not be so kind and polite and respectful all the time and be able to say shitty stupid things without thinking anything of it#im so tired of being the only one who seems to care so much about everyone else's comfort and feelings#but also at the same time i would hate if i acted like everyone else bc i know how shitty it makes people feel#and people are always so happy to see me because I am useful and make them feel good and comfortable and heard#and that matters. that means a lot to people i think. but also I am not a person. i am a tool.#and I'd really like to be a person#i somehow feel like im operating at a higher level/awareness than almost everyone irl and also way below everyone at the same time#like im so hyperaware of everyone else more than most ppl but im also so socially inept sometimes. and just... idk how to be a person.#i dont know i just want to not be like this. its so lonely and tiring and i want to matter to people#i want them to like me for more than just what I'm able to do for them. I want to be liked for Me i guess. but Me isnt likeable maybe#Me is uncomfortable for people. Me is a trembling cornered prey animal with a longing to tell stories but is too afraid to do anything#and so Me just exists in a hollow shell made out of people-pleasing and fawning and mirroring everyone around them#and then i get lonelier and more isolated and nothing really changes. but every time i try to crack open the shell a little it goes badly#like i genuinely dont think its my paranoia. i think it is not Safe for Me to exist properly.#i am too sensitive probably! but it does very much feel like a raw wound that peope jab aggressively at when i open up a little!#boy howdy i sound like such a wuss. i mean i probably am one fjfkdl#i just feel like I keep trying to fix things and improve and try new things and nothing ever really works well#my counsellors have always commented on how impressed they are at my willingness to try things#and its like ?? yeah ! ofc i am going to try things! maybe that will be smth that finally helps!

after you turn like 14 you never really get hyperfixated on shit that's actually good anymore huh. it's always some mainstream/overly popular shit that has enough interesting character work/concepts to hook you forever more but is overall mid and with an annoyingly capitalist liberal ideology behind it that makes you genuinely sooo upset to read/watch/play or even think about but your brain will refuse to let it go for at least 3 more years after you turn 18
#i am hyperbolizing for the sake of the post#i do get hyperfixated on good stuff; i loved hadestown and dimension 20 when i was 16#i just want to complain about marvel and mass effect again#autistic#actually autistic#autism#hyperfixation#neurodivergent

My stomach is still acting up, and that's definitely contributing to me making less posts. As I said in a post yesterday: my overthinking, stomach issues and seeming addiction to the ai character chatbots have caused me to not post as often as I used to. But I've stopped venting about the stomach issues because I don't really know how many more ways I can articulate posts on my stomach issues without just saying that i hate it because pain (even non fatal pain like this) can really hurt.
But I feel like it could be seen as good practice for next semester of school. Because if I'm at school the whole day next year, I may not be making many new posts then too. But even in that case: I still pray this stomach pain clears up. Because it's annoying to not know the definitive cause if the pain yet, and to just have to deal with it. So I hope it clears up before too long.
#it may be hyperbolic to say I'm addicted to the chatbots#since i could live without them#but i can't break the habit of using them#so i simply chose the word addicted#i still pray all this stomach stuff clears up#my thoughts#autism#asd#stomach issues#stomach pain#character ai#ai chatbot#ai chatbots#school#high school

yknow, the funny thing about being This mentally ill is that i have no clue what normal is. what do you mean most people have never heard voices telling them things in their lives. what do you mean most people dont get 1 less text daily from their fiance and think they should cut off all their friends. whats it like for yall.
#me: yea im just a chill guy i dont really have much to complain about honestly#also me: has bpd. and a psychotic disorder. and cotards. and crippling depression+anxiety. and autism. and cptsd.#crazy how none of yall have felt like a corpse non-hyperbolically before. yall have always felt like a living being? 100% of the time?#braincell posting#sskhjkd not even complaining here i just realized that Yea i dunno where the hell the bar is

Ohhhhhhh that's how I need to explain this
I canât stand people that donât let me speak hyperbolically. If I canât respond to a minor inconvenience that someone should get shot in the fucking head for it then whatâs the point of it all.

i told my friend today i finally got diagnosed and she said âwith what?â bc there were too many things up with me
#i could not stop laughing#genuinely#it was adhd#but it couldâve been autism or ocd or dyslexia or any other of my neurodivergencies#when i asked âwhat did you thinkâ the answer I got was prone to hyperbole#alex is rambling again

i think being raised by smartphones, not facing consequences for bullying, and being shit at school has made a lot of gen z genuinely evil
#a bunch of selfish apathetic mf's who only care about themselves and I hate all of you#đŽ#its the lack of empathy for me. and sorry no I don't believe they're all just autistic and cant feel empathy or whatever tf#(a claim with which I doubt is even actually a part of autism but i digress)#they care more about appearances bc they were raised to and dont have any fucking morals for shit#the kids are not fine and will make the world an actively worse place for the sake of their own self image.#and no before anyone comes in here#i dont actually think gen z is *actually* evil or whatever. im being hyperbolic. but i do think there is something so fundamentally fucked#up about that generation and evil is the best thing i can come up with bc the shit a lot of them do feels genuinely evil
