So, #AuDHD brains, what changes when you are with #COVID ?

My #ADHD switched off, so running solely on #actuallyautistic.

Conflict, explaining or just my mum talking are way too much to deal with at the moment.

Dialogue at work:
I: Well, this is a hard game task
Collegue: Why? You don’t have to do anything for it, just wait
I, emotionally: EXACTLY! Wait! This is the hardest!!!!

### Dear CBT (cc ABA), masking is not success.

Last post of the week!

How recent World Of Warcraft changes have made the game more AuDHD and Disability friendly.

I’m past the point where I’m going to play games of trying to second guess whether people actually mean it when they say they want honesty from me.

If it’s a new person, and they say they want to hear the truth: they’re gonna get it.

Without explicit and enforceable protections, neurodivergent people continue to fall through the cracks.
Yes, we are technically covered under disability law — but in practice, this is vague, inconsistent, and misunderstood. It fails to protect us from everyday harm, prejudice, or systemic barriers.

We deserve the same enforceable rights, recognition, and cultural dignity as any other protected community.

Thanks

Waiting can be very difficult. I had a neurpsych evaluation several weeks ago. It should validate my short term memory loss/executive function, and possibly early stage dementia, and also give me the absolutely solid diagnosis of ADHD instead of 2 preliminary ones. Hopefully the results are processed soon, and I can get more comprehensive data than the evaluation a few years back.

Volleyball playoffs were a lot of fun. I am so sore today though... not sure why, of all things, my pelvis hurts, but it does.

I found myself stimming on the court. I was feeling particularly happy and joyful (I actually recognized that!) and was tapping my fingertips to my thumbs and even shaking my hands a bit. Proud of myself for letting down the mask a bit.

Being around so many neurotypical people made me feel more strongly about going to one of the local Autistic Adult social meetups I found.

They organize several meetups every week so there's no shortage of opportunities to go and spend some time around other neurodivergent folks.

I have an unconventional superpower IRL. I can, with no effort, get gaslit by nearly anyone/everyone.

And unfortunately, this isn't really a superpower you can "own". It is bewildering when it happens, and can freaking hurt when you put yourself out there, only to be met with silence by someone you think is rather cool and worth getting to know better.

Wondering if this is tied to being neurodivergent/AuDHD?

I didn’t have anyone in my life who was both Autistic and had actually created a good life for themselves, so now I’m that person for others.

#ActuallyAutistic #ADHD #AuDHD communities I’m curious to know your thoughts about the ableism of a personality assessment inventory? (I think that I know your answers). Scholarly resources are welcome.

This test was one of those I had during my ADHD assessment.

Pół dnia chodzę wkurwiona jak nie wiem co, właśnie odkryłam, że to z głodu. Pozdrawiam serdecznie.

My friend just gave me the best phrase, so I'm sharing it with you all.

I've moved out of the first phase and am no longer neurodivergent.

I'm now neuroinsurgent.

#AskingAutistics looking for advice on temp/summer jobs for my #audhd son. He's just finished 6th form (music, IT, media) & going to Uni in Sep (music). He won't have capicity to work part time during his degree but wants something for a couple of months. He can't cope with people facing jobs which rules out most traditional summer jobs. He did trial kitchen work but the unpredictability was an issue. WFH is an option. He's IT capable but not a programmer. Also, we live in the Peak District!

Is it just me or is this kind of what RSD feels like but like, concentrated?
