Do you know this (canon) ADHD character?

Proof: The creators have said in interviews that Evelyn was written to have undiagnosed inattentive-type ADHD, but cut it from the final film out of fear of insensitivity.

y'all are so lovely because I've spent nearly my entire life feeling like I'm annoying for being too excited about my interests and trying to bandage them like a bleeding wound because I've learned that even many friends would put up with it until I become Too Much but now I'm surrounded by people who actually love that I pour my whole soul into what I do and suddenly I am no longer as intimidated by my muchness

Omg my sister thinks she has every disorder and symptom under the sun dawg it’s crazyyyy but only ones that aren’t ‘evil’ in her eyes. she’s like yeah I think I have did I have different personalities with different people. I think I have delusions remember when I thought I was a panther for a couple months as a CHILD? No it wasn’t make believe. You are gaslighting me. I enjoy childish things I think I involuntarily age regress AND I have DID. <- actually I do think she regresses but not involuntarily. Anyways. Omg I think I have this I think I have that . WHATEVER BOY! Obvious disclaimer I could be completely fucking wrong but I’m not. Okay

Preventing myself from freaking tf out by remembering that even my hormones don’t want to be in my body even my body is trying to prove that it’s Wrong and it’s funny that everything agrees with me except my mom and the government

it’s really frustrating to see people continue to act like from games have no story. like if that style of storytelling isn’t to your taste & you don’t care, there’s nothing wrong with that, but claiming it doesn’t count as a “real” narrative is laughable and honestly a self report

i know this isn’t a new thing by any means—in my case, my first entry into the series was bloodborne and i was hearing people say the exact same kind of things about it back then. “plot what plot?” or “it’s just a bunch of cryptic nonsense randomly thrown together lmao classic from!” which i accepted at face value……. only to find once i started playing that it did in fact have quite a clear story with incredibly well-defined themes PLUS tons of lore to give flavor to the world and additional context to the story??? where i was having the enjoyment of experiencing a great story PLUS the fun of actively putting that story together piece by piece as i went through it???? imagine my shock.

and yes from’s storytelling is one of the main draws for me, it’s such a wonderful change of pace that fits the medium of interactive media so well!! there’s nothing inherently wrong with the more cinematic style of presentation, obviously. like…. my other main game interest for the past few years is a story that’s famous for having walls of cutscenes so long it pops up a box to warn you beforehand. but good god it’s really so refreshing to be given this intricate web of a story that unfolds & deepens the more you look at it, something that encourages you to engage with it at your own pace and come to your own conclusions. and it DOES take a ton of skill to write that way! i’m tired of people pretending it doesn’t!!!

the aspect of open-endedness is what makes these stories something we can come back to for years and years in the community as new things are uncovered and speculation evolves. every time i go looking into some rabbit hole with elden ring story/lore to see how others read it i’m astonished by how much thought went into constructing it. i love that feeling of someone’s analysis giving context to something i got a vibe for but wasn’t able to put into words! or seeing how someone’s unique perspective results in a completely different reading i never would have thought of! it is a feature not a bug!!!

i really am just mentally ill

a previous version of me would have died wearing this sweater it’s like a little bit itchy. but as a child i refused to even wear long sleeves bc of the way they felt. i couldn’t wear tshirts with too stiff printing or rhinestones or sequins without a tank top underneath. i absolutely refused to wear jeans for years. i absolutely could not sleep in pajamas with the stretchy cuffs, especially the pants, it was absolutely miserable

it’s very cute tho so i’m glad to be at the point where it’s worth it

Parent says “over-active imagination”, and I’m fighting the desire to tell them “kys” because the kid has a slight chance of being better off with someone else depending on if the parent is correct or not. And whether or not they take “over-active imagination that’s causing problems and distress” as something to work on together or as an annoying quirk.

Mabel haters just can't handle her autistic swag

I am starting to become real annoyed with my sister because ever since she found out I was diagnosed with autism nearly every single conversation we have she’ll mention something about her childhood and how it’s autism symptoms for her.
