I just need to ask someone because I am so confused. Does anyone know if there is any weight to this "Tylenol and metals in baby food can cause autism/adhd" thing I keep hearing about?

It doesn't seem like it makes sense since both autism and adhd are supposed to be something you're born with, and the whole "vaccines cause autism" thing was debunked.

But I keep hearing about this and seeing psa's all over television and YouTube about it so i am very confused. And it's kinda hard to research on Google because I'm not sure if the sources that come up are trustworthy.

Like I said, I don't think it's true, but it's become such a big deal that I feel like I need clarification.

Also, does anyone know why people believe metals and Tylenol are somehow linked to autism/adhd?

Thanks.

*I have autism and adhd myself, btw

question to people with adhd:

do you guys have like a shit ton of alarms on your phone?

“The best thing for autism representation is to have multiple autistic characters so there’s a display of autism as a spectrum affecting people differently” “we need better autism representation” “I wish there were more characters that are audhd” my brother in christ, the teenage mutant ninja turtles are RIGHT THERE

Is it an ADHD thing when someone ask you 7 x 4, you mind doesn't skip count by 7. Instead it, tries to remember what is 7 x 2, which is 14, and add it to itself [ 14 + 14 = 24]. So you are able to answer 7 x 4.

Or is this how neurotypical people think when doing math?

Question.

Why would you put yourself on Anon if you outed your account name?

As an adhd person I just want to say that I love every autistic person on this website.

You guys are literally the best fandom archivers out there. I’m so serious.

If you are new in just about any fandom search for the one autistic person whose special interest your newfound fandom is and it’ll be like you just met god at a nightclub.

You guys are too powerful and I thank you for your service from the bottom of my heart.

You know what, this "actually writing" thing is really fun, someone should tell my adhd that 'cause it still doesn't believe me.

Creatures Stickers - Common Asks

I've been getting a bunch of asks about the creatures stickers and where can you use them so I think it's about time I organize it in one place to save both of us the struggle

Existing stickers: Autism/TBH creature reactions Autism/TBH creature emojis ADHD/BTW creature reactions/stickers Anxiety/IDK creature + Depression/wtf creature

(all designs are currently available on my Redbubble shop !)

Can I use the stickers for reactions/emojis? yeah of course! you can use them on whatever app you'd like. you can also make packs of them if you'd like (as long as they remain free of course)

Can I use any for a pfp? yes, just make sure to @ me in your bio if you can!

Can I use them for my YouTube/Twitch channels? because these are more brand focused and can be monetized, I'd rather you don't

Can I use them for a tattoo? go ahead! I'd love to see the results too if you feel comfortable sharing!

Can I edit the stickers (for example, to resemble a character)? no problem, I'd love to see the results!

Can I print them as stickers myself? if you can, I'd rather you get them from my Redbubble so I can get a few cents !

Thank you so much for the support !!!

For those who have ADHD and/or autism.

I wanna to do a test to see if I'm autistic, have ADHD, both or neither. For some reason I'm terrified of knowing the truth. Sorry if I sound offensive at some point, I'm just writing about myself and don't mean to be mean at any point.

ADHD, the name changed right? Gonna use this one because I'm writing this quickly. If I have ok, that'd explain why I'm so forgetful and nothing catches my attention unless I'm interested in the topic. And why is so hard to focus. And why I never finish my projects. But I'm not hyper active. I'm a pretty calm person, I can't reall5sit and focus for too long, but give me a hair elastic thing and I'll play with it for hours while listening to you. And I'll be able to actually listen.

Don't ask me to look in your eyes tho, I will. But only for 5 minutes if you are lucky.

My mom a lot for times aska me for things and I completely forget about them, things that are important and I feel bad for forgetting.

But all of this could simply be me and no ADHD. I don't know.

Autism

Frankly I don't think I have autism. But the reports are just so relatable it scares me a bit. I was bullied a lot during my childhood. I remember in the first grade, I tried hard to make friends but I never was able to. To this day I don't know why. Why people didn't like me? I have a timeline of events in my head of my entire life, things that happened when I was 2 y.o. but I don't have details. I don't remember if i did something or not to be not liked. The first school that my parents put me in I was there for a year. In this whole year I didn't make a single friend. I remember I asked my parents for help to do a lost of people who were and weren't my friends simply to try to uncover the reason for that. Is this a sign of autism? Idk. Maybe I'm just out of the norm, but not autistic. Doesn't seem like autism. Autism is something that affects your day to day, every day life. I'm not sure if I have signs everyday.

I have trouble socializing. I have trouble making friends. I have trouble maintaining friendship. But I can understand sarcasm, jokes and I'm able to tell when people are sad or uncomfortable. so there's goes signs that the internet sites gave me. Sometimes I do have troubles talking and truly understanding what my parents say. Not because they are complex, but because I don't get it. There are easier ways to do things and they won't for some alien reason.

I have trouble understanding relationships, in the sense what it means to be in, part of or the different aspects of relationship. People expect things. Sometimes it feels like mathematical equations on which I have to be constant aware of. I gave to do this to get to that. A lot of times I feel like I'm manipulating the few relationships that I have big I can't see another way.

Don't you dare change my routine. I'll be messed up and although not cry, I'll be very close to. Unless the change is "we are not going outside of the house anymore", sudden things messes my little planned time. At the same time I can't really organize myself very well.

I do have some subjects on which I'm very passionate about. But I'm no genius on them and although I'd love to, I can't keep going on them for hours and hours because, as said before I can't communicate very well. My social skills are terrible, I don't know what to say most of the time but I feel like I should.

I don't think I have autism. I don't think I have ADHD. I think I'm only different from other people but can't put my finger exactly on what exactly. I don't feel like I really fall into the spectrum because I lack the usual signs. But I don't know how much of this is stereotyping both those conditions.
