I'm not super involved in the Nicktoons Unite fandom, but I have been combing through fics and I'm already tried of Danny being portrayed as the big brother/second smartest one instead of what he actually is: a fucking idiot.

#nicktoons unite #danny phantom #danny fenton #i mean this as affectionately as possible btw #if anything JIMMY should be the tired older brother who subsists off of coffee and no sleep #danny and timmy have adhd and probably three brain cells between the two of them #I'm not saying Danny is a dunce #he's passionate about flight and space travel!#but let's be honest — he's 14 in canon. those are passing interests #they're not. like. something he could tell you every single last detail about #source: i am also into aeronautics #second source: i grew up with dp and I'm tired of the dumbass erasure #danny has no thoughts and only has teenage angst when a ghost is manipulating him lol #i know we all want our favs to be cool #but danny is literally just the biggest dork in the world #he's not a gritty 20 year old with 5 o'clock shadow who needs to smoke just to feel something #everyone's entitled to their interpretations obvi but #i think dp fandom has become so far removed from canon at this point that they created a whole new character who just is not danny fenton #and i don't really enjoy it because I always liked danny for the character he HAS not the one i think he should have had instead #this became kind of a tangent and this is probably an unpopular opinion but yeah i just wanted to say my piece #i can't really interact with the dp fandom anymore because they're basically all fans of a made-up show at this point

sometimes I think about how when I went to college for a year before I dropped out (basically failed out,) the counselors/dean told me they can't help me at all or give any accommodations unless I have an official autism/adhd diagnosis. that might sound logical at first, but when you think about it more, it's actually quite fucked up. if someone is struggling really bad, what's the harm in helping them? why do they require a paper to get even the smallest amount of help? people who don't need help aren't going to be failing miserably without help! even NTs could benefit from some adjustments to the horrible school system! (but changing the entire system is a whole other conversation that the school system isnt ready for)

but even if you do agree to jump through their hoops, you realize it's even more fucked up that the diagnosis process requires YEARS in most cases (in my case it took 4 or 5 years, can't recall exactly now, for autism/adhd diagnosis, which would have meant i finished school before getting it if i managed to mot fail out, or i wait that long before going back, which is a whole struggle itself) and they also tried billing me for THOUSANDS of dollars because of insurance issues!!

so you put a ton of time and money into this, and then get told the only accommodation they are willing to give you for autism and adhd is "a little extra time on tests"

....

my test scores were the best part of my whole class experience. that was NOT what I struggled with!!!!! those tests were all online and could be done in the comfort of your home where you can accommodate yourself and have plenty of time left over when you finish them because you are comfy in your own space, (and also, no one was stopping you from having your notes/books/google open to find the answers,) and you don't even need a time consuming, expensive diagnosis for that!

SO WHAT'S THE POINT!!!!!!!

#mind you this was over 10 years ago now. it *could* have gotten better but id be extremely shocked if it has #autistic #autism #actually autistic #adhd #neurodivergent #audhd #school #school problems #yes i know theres rules or maybe even laws for this and its why they are like this but its bad and should change #if they offered smaller classes with less sensory overloading bullshit and other things i needed it would be great!#but they refuse to accommodate your actual needs and make up useless accommodations to legally say they help disabilities #ND people (not just audhd) and other disabled people that graduate with no useful accommodations are so strong and cool. proud of you!#ones who had to drop you youre also cool for not dealing with their bullshit snd allowing yourself to not suffer for a sheet of paper!#(though i know it can feel bad when everyone around you makes you feel bad for needed to drop out or failing out and not going back)#i completely stopped going to my psychology class because i started a week late due to scheduling issues and #suddenly we are told theres a paper due in 3 days and need to hse the textbook i didnt have yet as the source for it all #and it was in the syllabus i didnt get because i was a week late and didnt know we got one. the professor didnt notice me out of #the 100 other students in that large lecture hall. that room was also a sensory nightmare hellscape #too many students made things noisy and distracting. multiple fluorescent lights were flickering constantly and never fixed #the professor used a mic to speak to us and it had a constant horrible loud buzzing. it did that loud mic screech noise randomly #without warning. all the time. the quality of the sound was horrible so it was hard to understand her. on top of that she had a very thick #accent i wasnt familiar with so that on top of the horrible buzzing mkc quality that also cut her out constantly was auditory processing #disorder HELL. I dont know how ANYONE survived thst class but i seemed to be the only one struggling. everyone else turned in their papers #and i gave up and stopped going. was too late to drop the class to get my money back so i wasted probably a few thousand dollars #and THATS what i mean by give me reasonable and useful accommodation. test time would NOT make that class better at all #fix the mic and light issues at least or give me a smaller class with more attentive professor or something!#offer smaller classes for struggling disabled people! if the issue is not knowing who needs them then offer a switch to those struggling!#i got called onto a dean/counselor meeting because a professor noticed my horrible grades and stuff so its possible to catch us and help!#THESE SCHOOLS JUST NEED TO START BEING WILLING TO. dont make us do all the work to accommodate ourselves and expect to do well in school!

footnotes arent enough I need you to talk to me like im fucking Amelia Bedelia

#this isn’t about anything in particular btw. I just have to add a lot of memos when I’m doing things because some things are done a certain #way and it isn’t explained well in the instructions. like my mom has instructions on her baking recipes right #but when it says stuff like add dry ingredients to wet ingredients it also means you don’t dump it in one go you add it slowly by portion #this is probably why I find videos and demonstrations the most helpful when I learn something. like I almost always ask someone to show me #how they do it because there could be something they do that’s already second nature and wouldn’t really be considered in an explanation yk #I don’t think I’m an exception either. when the rice is done cooking I divide it into 4 quarters to bless it #but there are a million ways to divide rice and it makes me think that one persons way of doing it or not doing it all is just as valid #theres also technically no wrong way to divide rice afaik. this means either all ways of dividing rice is safe or valid until we find some #universally terrible way of dividing rice. until that happens nobody really thinks about specifying HOW you divide the rice #source: I have anxiety starting and doing things for the first time because I got way too many people yell at me NONONO WHAT ARE YOU DOING #THATS WRONG while I’m in the middle of doing the thing. I would rather have people think I’m either very stupid or overly specific #than go thru the panic inducing fear of ‘YOURE DOING THIS WRONG OMG WHY DIDNT YOU ASK AHEAD OF TIME THIS WILL BE FUCKED UP FOREVER’ 🧍#nothing wrong if you don’t give something a second thought because you’re so used to it. but I can and will ask about it and I don’t think I #really should feel bad about it if I don’t know enough to dispute it. idk #the other way around I try to be as specific as possible and word things in a way that people who might not get where I’m coming from will #understand. but the problem with that is my explanations tend to be lengthy and I lose them either way 🗿#Im. trying to work on that using examples and stuff because they seem to work the best #but if I could write everything down on a word doc and beam it into your melon that would save both of us time and embarassment #im rambling the short version is I have adhd #yapping

You know, my community psych professor talks so much about having an assets-view instead of a deficits-view (meaning you look at people for the skills/knowledge/abilities they do have not the ones they don’t) when working for social change, but I feel like he only extends that to the people he’s helping, not the people he’s working with. Like he even straight up said he has very little patience for his colleagues making mistakes and he’s the least accommodating professors I have this semester. He gave a lecture about how difficult it is for a wheelchair bound student to navigate the psychology building, and immediately after the lecture gave me shit about ‘choosing to procrastinate’ even though I approached him day one about my struggles w academics as a person w ADHD.

It’s insane to me how some people in social change professions (especially, that side of psychology imo) treat their own. You would expect people w mental health issues and disabilities (and yes, in an academic setting, ADHD is a disability) to flock to helping professions and studies, but people inside those professions are so hostile to us daring to step among their ranks.

#just fyi. if you are saying ‘choose to procrastinate�� you are NOT accommodating ADHD. you cannot be with that as you mindset.#if that’s where you’re starting you need to reanalyze that whole thing. start from scratch do not pass go do not collect $200 #accommodate doesn’t mean ‘make it so you can do things my way’ it means ‘I’ll change my view so i can see your way as equally valid’#which btw i have had PLEANTY of professors do. and the fact that it’s the psych professors who are struggling with it really betrays #a massive source of rot in the entire field of study #actually adhd #ableism #psychology

My grandparents wrote genealogy books about each of their families. Seeing how they each organized their own books about their own families is this really interesting look into how they both functioned and you can actually feel the autism radiating off the page in my grandpa's books.

#sometimes I'll tell people I think my grandpa was autistic and theyre like “??? you barely knew him why do you say so?”#and I'm like “....I mean I HAVE read his writing”#I knew my grandma quite well and knowing her is how I learned to accept a lot of what was later diagnosed as ADHD traits in myself #and that also radiates off the pages of her books. just this jumble of thoughts stuffed into a perfectly adequate semblance of order #while my grandpa's has this organically sourced rigidly regimented and organized vibe #like. I am in a very similar field of work as him and can get the impulse to point to the report writing as influencing his style #but tbqh you can tell who's autistic in reports based on who is clearly fighting for their lives to stay in Report Style #and who is clearly thriving in the fixed structure and rigid speech patterns of report writing #and outside of reports the autistic people are like “oooooopsie I guess reports are just influencing me sooooo much”#while the allistics are like “thank god I'm not writing a report and can Talk Normal”#roz says a thing

Gonna get spicy for a second and say that everyone loves spewing hate about narcissistic (NPD) parents and how awful parents with personality disorders are, but if someone were to make a post with the exact same cadence about ADHD parents they'd get shot in public at first sight

#rambling #Lemme clarify and extend my point here (cos I feel ppl could really misinterpret this one)#Am I saying people should just accept the abuse of parents if said parents have a personality disorder? No #Am I saying people with ADHD parents have it worse or that both experiences are comparable and exactly the same? No #What I'm saying is that ppl are much more eager to call out abusive or neglectful behaviour from ppl w personality disorders bc #they're seen as 'scary' or 'monstrous' and inherently evil so they have no qualms going full force at it. They think -pd ppl are the devil #But adhd in ppl's general views could never be the source of such pain from a parent to a child; ADHD ppl are seen as childish #and harmless and clueless and silly and tbh a bit stupid. Besides they could never hurt a 'monster' by jumping the gun at -pd ppl right?#'normal people don't have personality disorders so this can't affect me! But normal people can have adhd!'#That's the core of my complaint: one is dehumanised as a destructive monster; the other is as an innocent victim child #And both (parent w -pd & w adhd) can be pretty bad in their own uniqie ways! But such a thing is never considered - for the #societal construct of the child - that neurodivergencies get pushed into - is of an untainted pure inherently clueless being below human #From my exp and the exp of other friends lemme say: having an adhd parent can suck so much ass! Lol #I grew up with two opposing ideals troubling my mind: my mothers obvious overwhelming love; and the shadow her constant absence cast #She loved me so much and did as much as she could; but constantly forgot about my care and my needs and made rash choices #I think about that more and more as i age; especially as i go to doctors over and over for problems i have had since forever #It is an awful feeling to have sink in your heart: how a parent's love isn't enough; how 'maturing quick' isn't a blessing but a curse #As i grew i stopped telling my mom about my needs my school things and my life bc i got used to her forgetfulness and lack of organisation #It meant irregular eating schedules & inadequate meals. In 5th grade I'd eat table scraps at school cos my mom couldn't remember #how I'd tell her over and over that the food had to be in a specific way or it'd get burnt in the school's oven #I'd go to the 'first' dr appointment to deal w an ongoing problem & then she'd forget to schedule the following ones #You get the idea #Kind of a weird post w a strange framing device but I've been thinking about it a lot lately. Smth triggered this thought last night #I'll also never forget a few months ago when i went go a specialist for my hEDS - told her I've known all my life but never got treatment #Also just. The crushing feeling of the dr saying ''you should've gotten your own med team to work ur case since u were young!'#And just. silently nodding & wanting to cry feeling validated but also so hurt looking @ the obvious neglect #Anyways hey how did this therapy session go Doctor

I thought the atla netflix costumes were fine /not big on sokkas but they seemed fine and cartoony which is GOOD because FUCK SERIOUS live action shit. Did ya'll se Peter pan and wendy/ Little mermaid trailers/ Bland and dull. COLOR is good . Let the characters look lively. realisim is boring i dont care about realism outside of it being a war in a show where people bend elements . Im hoping its not serious also they are promo pics i doubt they look that vibrant in the show/ as for zukos scar not being realisitc enough still better than th atla movie/ i withhold judgement for the new show until a real trailer comes out cause man that one we got was a letdown / i got nothing to say about sokkas actor but Katara is not white they just keep showing lighten pics of her the actress is not white. Shes as perfect katara.

#atla #atla netflix #my two cents no one asked for #saw people saying katar actress is white/pale she darker than me im white as a ghost #people ar too picky online i still cant believe people bullied actors over a la lilo/stitch as if LA disney are ever any good its gonna suc #the reason i have mor hope for this LA one is that it didnt look serious in the promo pics and they dont hate the original source #disney acts like thy do something so amazing with their LA and insult fans and thte original so fuck disney LA they are cashcows #is my adhd brain rambling here.. could be xd

the need to have "neurotypical" and "neurodivergent" be two completely different things with no grey area in between is a disservice to both groups. i would say every single person on this earth could qualify as neurodivergent if they bothered to go see a psychiatrist. its just that only certain ppl are going to be put in a situation where they cannot function and need a label to explain it bc society

#btw I am convinced that I am the only person who truly understands the field of psychiatry. or the lack of evidence to support one.#there are so many symptoms that are just the exact same thing but described in different ways and depending on the biases of whoever #diagnoses you You will end up with a completely different disorder!#there is no way to be objective about something as subjective as human experience #this is a vaguepost ab r/adhdwomen btw i love the group but also freshly diagnosed ppl be acting in ways.#being neurodivergent forces you to be more in touch with your own needs but every single person on this Earth would benefit from that #so please for the love of God teach the neurotypical people in your life to do that too #I also saw a post earlier about how shopping around 4 therapists should not exist because you don't shop around for surgeons or restaurants #and it made me so mad because you literally do shop around before therapists and for restaurants #and there are 1 million different subfields of therapy please for the love of God do not give up if CBT does not work for you.#if your therapist is so unskilled that they cannot help you because they cannot change the physical reality of your situation #then they are a bad therapist. they are bad at their job!#their job is not to make your situation better their job is to give u the ability to deal w the situation no matter how bad it is.#ryambles #my only sources are that i am mentally ill and have been in therapy since i was 14. but im right.#i meant to say for surgeons and restaurants but i was typing too fast. bc of the adhd. sorry.#i am reading all of this over and maybe it makes no sense but i dont care. read my post boy.

I hate big pharma SO MUCH like they over prescribe you shit you don’t even need sometimes and then they charge you up the ass for it. If you don’t have insurance your pills can cost hundreds of dollars PLUS you need a doctor to sign off on even getting them. Can’t get them? Guess you’ll die lol but MEANWHILE in Mexico you can get Xanax over the counter for like 60 dollars this shit just isn’t fair.

#I seriously think Xanax and adderall are overprescribed and they get you addicted so you have to keep coming back #not to say anti anxieties and adhd meds don’t actually help people #but I’m saying here’s a huge financial incentive for people to prescribe you shit you might not need #don’t believe me? look into the history of OxyContin #aka the source of the opioid/heroin epidemic

Literally only using Disney Plus to watch Bluey. Talking about all my feelings in the tags (sorry, I didn't realize it would get so long)
