the autistic urge to google something when you're just about to fall asleep + the ADHD frustration of not being able to remember what it was the next day

If I have to read one more "I hate picky eaters, they have the taste palette of a 5-year-old" post, I WILL actually start killing people. You don't want to be around "picky eaters?" Fine, then get the fuck away from us. We're better off without your judgment.

"But wahhhh why won't they just try something new" Shut. Up. Look up how things like adhd, autism, depression, and many more affect eating. Look up food allergies, intolerances, and general sensitivities. FUCKING LOOK UP ARFID. Seriously I am so damn tired of people not knowing shit about arfid, refusing to research even when I tell them about it (most of my doctors don't even know anything about it even though they've known about my struggles for over two years!) And then you have the nerve to shame us for dealing with an eating disorder that is fuck all hard to work through cuz, again, no one knows fucking shit about it and they don't want to learn! My therapist reached out to an eating disorder clinic to find help for me, and the only goddamn one who even knew it existed was the director.

Stay the hell away from so-called "picky eaters" if you're gonna make post after post complaining about how annoying you find us, or how you just so badly want to go to restaurants with your friend but they eat like a child! Go alone, asshole.

"i'm so hyperfixated on this!/this is a huge special interest of mine!" "*we start talking about our actual hyperfixations and special interests*" "thats a really unhealthy obsession, are you mentally ill?"

100%. One of the things that I’ve learned being an undiagnosed afro-latina girl with ADHD and possibly autism as well is that we will NEVER TRULY be able to safely unmask the way that white people are able to do so. They don’t have to worry about constantly being seen as a threat or dangerous compared to us. 

And that’s just dealing with outside our community. Our own community is so much worse. Ableism is so frequent and normalized that it’s actually disgusting. Black/POC kids who are overstimulated and having meltdowns are often told by their parents that a "whooping" is what they need to stop their behaviour. It actually makes me sick to my stomach. There's so much more that our community needs to work on but that's not gonna happen anytime soon 💔

Thank you Em from NeuroWild

“We talk a lot about Masking and Unmasking.

Masking is when we hide our neurodivergent traits. We might change the way we communicate, our behaviour, our interests, our personality- to suit the people we are with.

It’s sort of living a pretend life.

And we pay for it with our mental health and wellbeing.

I’m done with the mask.

Here are some examples of what unmasking might look like.

This is not an exhaustive list, and not every AuDHD person will choose to unmask in these ways. Unmasking is not straightforward.

Also, for many people, unmasking may not be/feel safe.

Often, unmasking is a privilege.

If and when we do unmask, it can suddenly seem like we have become ‘more autistic’. That might be a shock to some people, especially if they have known us a long time.

It’s important to know that we are exactly the same as we have always been- but now we have stopped repressing all our authentic traits. We are starting to figure out who we are underneath.

If Unmasking is something you are trying to work on, start small. Do some partial unmasking, in small, safe situations. See how you feel.

While we talk about Masking costing mental energy, it’s important to recognise that unmasking can do the same. Because it’s new, it can be really stressful, and it takes planning.

It gets easier.

*by that I mean do you feel like you're capable of controlling it and stopping and starting it at any time possible?

*this is in no way trying to encourage people to stop stimming

Celebrate your Autistic Self Because…

Celebrate your autistic self because...

... you are wonderful just the way you are.

... you are incredibly sensitive to the sensory beauty of the world

…the smallest details that others miss, are like shiny little stars for you

... your passions and creative approaches create a wonderland in your head

... your unique love languages shows a whole new world to your loved ones

…you know what it is like to be different, and you are compassionate to others

…you are you and that is more than enough.

so today …

...just do a little something to celebrate yourself.

Something that fills your heart with pure joy or comforts you if you have a bad day:

Whether it is your favourite fidget toy/ stim/ special interest activity/ comfort food/TV show/song, or simply hugging a plushie and covering yourself with a blanket, just do it and then take a little time to think about how a beautiful person you are!

i dont think anyone who hasnt met a person w ADHD/has it themselves will ever understand just how fucking hard it is for those folks to perform under capitalism. Its so unfair that people reduce it to just being overly distracted instead of something that paralyzes you when you have too much on your plate. Burnout means something entirely different and everyone treats you like a bum despite being so stressed and overworked. Add that on top of the brutal existence that capitalism forces onto all of us and...god its just not fair.

As an autistic and ADHDer (diagnosed), I headcanon Lucifer as an autistic and ADHDer, and I'm going to explain why.

If you watched Hazbin Hotel, in episode 5 we get to know the big boss of Hell himself: Lucifer Morningstar.

I noticed a lot of autistic and ADHD traits:

☆He misses social cues ("hey bitch", hugs Charlie too tight, he is direct and impulsive when he speaks par example with Alastor, etc...).

☆He stims a lot during the show.

☆Special interest/hyperfixation on rubber ducks.

☆He suffer from depression (and a lot of autistics and ADHDers struggle with it).

☆He misuses common slang terms (ex. "I'm going to f**k you" instead of "f**k you up").

☆When Charlie calls him on the phone he gets really anxious (a lot of autistic people struggle with unexpected/unplanned things).

☆He was different from the other angels and he didn't fit in.

Before I go, I want to say this:

It's just my headcanon based on my experience as an AuDHDer, and it's not a post with medical or psychological purposes. If you think you might be on the spectrum of autism and/or ADHD, educate yourself on the topic and go for a diagnosis with a psychiatrist.

Bye.

; I know it's talked about but genuinely it's not talked about enough how difficult ( difficult ) it is being autistic. And it's not even just because I have autism, sometimes it's from Third Party People Being Ableist™ and making my life 20x harder than it was previously.

; and I'm sick and tired of people trying to be allies by denying that I'm autistic ?? Denying my struggles and saying " you're just a little funky !! " or " you're not different, you're the same as any other person <3 " because I'm not ( not ), I'm genuinely not like every other person. And wow are you going to be disappointed when you find out I actually can't function like you, I physically can not. I can't do most anything like a " normal " person and every day is a struggle because people want to see me as average, so they treat me as average and neurotypical and no different from them, but I am different. I do need things that others don't, I do need support even if I'm probably categorized as low support needs, I still have needs that the average person doesn't !! I'm Autistic !! I am different, I am not like the average person and it disables me. I do not resent being autistic, I do not want to be neurotypical. What I resent is how I'm treated because of it, how my struggles are either ignored or stigmatized. I resent not being able to function how others want me too, and therefore being labeled as a nuisance or a difficult case.

; I. Am. Autistic. And yk what ?? I'm not making it my whole personality, it is my whole personality !! It's my mother fucking brain, of course it's going to effect most every aspect of me and how I work ?? And so of course most things I talk about or most my experiences are going to " look autistic " or could be categorized as autism, because I'm autistic !! I'm a walking book of autistic traits so yeah, a lot of the ways I think and the things I do are gonna be related to autism, because I literally am autistic. Sorry if that bothers you ?? Like ?? Idk what people expect from me, I'm going to talk about it because it's kinda hard not to when everything I do or say is " affected " by it ?? :/

; anyways, happy disability pride month. Thanks for listening to my miniature rant

[barzfrommarz]

being an undiagnosed autistic but also having undiagnosed adhd that basically makes your memory so shit (short and long term) you only have random one off memories from when you were younger to go off of that could indicate autism so now you feel like a fraud because it feels like everyone else can remember things they did as a child that pointed to autism but you just can’t. I can’t even remember if I consciously masked or not because I feel like I did since only when lockdown hit it seemed like my autism became more noticeable but I also don’t remember ever feeling like I had to be normal unless I was told to 😶 I genuinely would unironically describe myself as “not like other girls”

[adhdtsukasa]

ichikasa as a concept is so funny to me. not as a ship, because shipping tsukasa with leoni is a personal ew to me, but. like. the whole idea of actually shipping them romantically is sorta hillarious

you're free to ship them, obviously, that's valid and i respect that even though i don't vibe with it, but because i'm a big aroace ichi & kasa truther and because [in my humble opinion] they have the most arospec coded moments in the game itself, trying to fit them into an allo relationship is just a bit comical. just a bit.

i want to see them as closer friends, though! hypothetically, since i highly doubt it'd ever happen in the game itself, but i want to see them bonding about not getting the alloromantic standards. bonding about ichika internally cringing at the very thought of having to sing a love song that's written with the thought of normal couples, not with the thought of how much she loves leoni, bonding about how tsukasa always changes the scripts that are being written with romance in mind to more action ones, because it's more satisfying for them. bonding about how they don't need to find their one and only, because they already met someone much better — the rest of their units, their best friends.

and maybe, maybe, ichika would accidentally slip something about miku in the conversation — and since tsukasa is suggested to be a kaito fan even before main story in kaito's 1*, he'd happily pick it up when ichika blushes and feels embarassed by being like that, bringing up his favorite vocaloid as well. and before they realize it, they go on a long conversation about their faves, infodumping and recommeding songs to each other. they have yet another thing to bond over!

(and they both agreed this is way better than kissing)
