PSA: Yes, ADHD can be silly funny goofy. It can also be a debilitating anxiety inducing hellhole. Both these can be true at once. Whenever you reduce it to one or the other you’re doing a disservice to ADHDers or people trying to understand ADHD.

Thank you to Our Sensory Life

“I spent to many years thinking it was normal to be trapped like this and I was just 'lazy'.

If you relate to this, please hear me, you're not lazy. I know how bad it feels.”

i dont really feel like an adult. i know i am one, but a lot of the time i feel like a child in an adults body. it's why i don't like the terms man or woman for myself. they feel too mature. and i know i'm still young, but i see my peers and realize how immature i am in comparison.

also i hate categorizing people as mature or immature bc a lot of the time it's just ableism. i dont think it's a bad thing i dont behave like a neurotypical person my age, but what people think about me gets to me. it doesn't make me less important or less worthy than others. it shouldn't, at least.

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.

#arfid #autism #actually autistic #not a fan of that tag but it finds a good chunk of the community #avoid restrictive food intake disorder #actually adhd #adhder #eating disorder tw #and I know like all my other serious posts this will hardly get notes but I hope someone even one damn person #sees this and takes it to heart

*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

I might possibly have ADHD. Before I can tell anyone else I need other ADHDer's opinion. So let's play a game. ADHD: Yay or Nay!

Thank you ‘Em from Neurodivergent Wild

“It fills me with frustration and sadness when I hear teachers say ‘I can’t do something different for ONE student’.

I’m sorry- why can’t you?

Surely it’s important that each kid has their individual needs met. And it’s obviously nonsense to think that all kids need the same thing.

To give all kids the exact same thing, to expect them to learn the same way, to think the same, to demonstrate understanding the same, to BE the same- is setting our neurodivergent kids up to fail at school. This isn’t speculation. This is happening widely.

‘But if I do that for him then everyone else will want that too. The rest of the class won’t understand.’

Hmm. The class also doesn’t understand fractions yet and I know that you’re going to spend a whole lot of time teaching that. Let me tell you, ‘everyone is different and has different needs’ will be a much quicker lesson.

‘The behaviour system works well for the majority. We can’t just not use it for these two kids. EVERYONE uses it.’

The behaviour chart rewards neurotypical behaviour. Our kids should not have to go to school everyday and spend all their energy pretending to be neurotypical. It teaches us that we’re not good enough as we are, and that does so much damage. Also, are you happy to stand up and advertise that you are actively ignoring the needs of minority students in your school?

Teachers have such an opportunity to teach their class that difference is good. That individuals all have differences, and it is these differences that make you special. Our neurodivergent kids would be so much happier and comfortable in a classroom where this was the culture. It wouldn’t be hard to do. I know that there are teachers out there getting it done.

When an autistic student is Stimming in class, and a peer asks ‘why are they doing that?’, the simple answer is ‘they concentrate best when their body moves around. Everyone has different brains and different ways of learning. I bet there are more of you who concentrate well when you’re moving!’

It’s not ‘oh, just ignore him.’

It’s not ‘ugh, I know. I’ll tell him to stop.’

It’s simply embracing difference.

It’s talking about it in a positive light.

It’s not that hard.

And it will save lives.

Em 🌈🌻❤️

Question for neurodivergent people?

Is focusing too much a thing? Sometimes I have the feeling that I can't control my ability to focus and that I can only choose between don't doing the thing and doing the thing but with so much focus that afterwards I feel sick (I usually am nauseous, lightheaded, exhausted).

It's like my brain thinks that I have to do the thing fast and at the best of my abilities, like it's a matter of life and death. I don't know how to explain it better, has anybody experienced something similar?

not that the phrase stim/fidget toy is bad, but i think it'd be a good idea to call them "sensory aids" more often. they're tools neurodivergent people use to help ourselves function and enhance our wellbeing. they comfort us, help us focus, and safely give us the sensory stimulation our brains need. that's a lot more than a toy. and while anyone can have toys no matter how old they are, i think the fact they're overwhelmingly called toys instead of aids is related to the infantilization of (some) neurodivergent people, and the idea that we can "grow out" of our sensory needs - since they're also overwhelming seen as something for children to use, not adults.

a conversation between two adhders is just semi related personal anecdotes interrupting eachother until looking for a phone charger has turned into a google deep dive of the inherently gay nature of the atom
