Two people with the exact same brand of ADHD and shared intense hyperfixation clicked too hard, 100 dead, thousands injured, 3 million new timelines unlocked, a single starting line of conversation ending in 400 new novel length messages sent and one month between reply times

Anyone else use to feel way more mature than other kids the same age but now feel like they just...not? I still don't do anything people my age do but now it's seem more childish, i feel like i'm late all the time and when i'm with people my own age it's like being a kid at an adults table...

Am I the only one that feels like NTs HATE saying 'I don't know.'
You will not believe the amount of times I'll ask a basic objective question about a situation and they'll give me an answer, only for later the answer to be completely wrong. And then when I ask them why they would give me wrong information - they say 'I just guessed.'
I didn't ask you for your guess. I asked for the information. If you didn't have the information don't just GUESS. Say 'I don't know.'
I feel like NT don't realize that WRONG information is worse than no information.
If I want to know when an event will end and you say '5pm' - I'm going to be mentally prepared for 5pm. And if it DOESN'T end then, not only will I be out of energy, but I'll be irritated and confused because I'm in an unfamiliar situation with NO INFORMATION
Had you just told me 'I don't know what time it ends' instead of GUESSING 5, then I would've prepared for the worse. But now I have to literally rearrange everything in my head and talk myself down from meltdown cause I was given inaccurate information and also I thought I was going home.
But they act instead like saying I don't know is a moral failure.
My father used to yell at me all the time to not say 'I don't know.'
He'd always demand I figure it out and come up with SOMETHING no matter how uninformed or vague and that's how you have NTs walking around feeling like it's a crime to admit they simply don't know something
and instead they'll just shamble something together and hope that's good enough regardless of whether in the information is actually helpful or correct.
IT'S SO ANNOYING. JUST SAY YOU DON'T KNOW.
Stop guessing and giving me WRONG information because it only makes the situation worse and more confusing. Say you don't KNOW. It's FINE.

guys. guys. guys, guys
to my fellow neurodivergents
have you heard of.. goblin tools ?
i checked it out last night and hOLY SHit it is my newest favorite website ever.
you can separate tasks into steps, list all the ingredients you have and it’ll create a simple recipe for you, change the tone of the message you’re trying to convey (to ensure minimal offense to the NT you’re conversing with,) and like.. 4 other cool things, i think.
please please please check it out it’s the best

FRIENDLY REMINDER THAT YOU ARE NOT TOO MUCH!
If anyone tells you, that you are too much: They are wrong. You are NOT too much. Really.
Some people might not appreciate your vibe.
Some people might feel weirded out by your actions.
Some people might feel overwhelmed when around you.
Some people might not understand you
These people are valid in their feelings.
BUT! That does not make you too much. Not at all.
Don't be less for anyone!

Of all the heartbreak contained within “Doctor Bashir, I presume?” I think this is the most heartbreaking thing to me:
- “You don't know. You've never had a child. You don't know what it's like to watch your son. To watch him fall a little further behind every day. You know he's trying, but something's holding him back. You don't know what it's like to stay up every night worrying that maybe it's your fault. Maybe you did something wrong during the pregnancy, maybe you weren't careful enough, or maybe there's something wrong with you. Maybe you passed on a genetic defect without even knowing it.”
Because, while it may be true they weren’t ashamed of young Jules, it still stands that the genetic resequencing was about them. About Amsha and Richard, and not about Julian. They made him illegal, and they say it’s Julian’s own good, but even here, it becomes about them and their feelings. It’s not about doing the right thing for Julian, it’s about setting their minds at ease. It’s about fixing something they believe is wrong with him.
Not even when they’re trying to say they did this for Julian, is it about Julian.

Executive Dysfunction is bad because of missed assignments and appointments and bills and all that, obviously.
But Executive Dysfunction is also bad because literally all I want in the entire world right now is to drink my ice tea and smoke my weed but I keep not doing that, because the frontal lobe of my brain has been replaced by the Doldrums from The Phantom Tollbooth

Why do I so disproportionately show my excitement for things. Like for example:
My mom got me these super cool bedsheets with woodland critters on them as a gift and I’m genuinely super excited about them!! My outward response was just: “aw those are really cute. I am very excited about them.” 😐
then something little happens like I ate/drank something that tasted good and my response is stimming and smiling a bunch even though I’m not like. overjoyed about it or anything.
It’s like the more emotion I feel about something, the less I convey it outwardly if that makes sense? Luckily by now everyone close to me understands my mannerisms, which I’m grateful for, but people who don’t know me well do sometimes misinterpret. Idk I guess I’m just wondering if anyone else relates

GOOD LORD i have not been able to think about anything else but Fig's undying devotion to her friends since last night's episode. I wonder if she's actually going to persue the paladin stuff, and if she does I wonder if they're going to make her a custom oath??? i know mechanically, oath of devotion is pretty versatile, but ALSO it would be so cool to find something that's so Fig. the way you could combine the warlock "relationships & agreements" stuff to an oath.... her love for her friends is so powerful :(

“do the hardest task first”
no. just… no.
hot take: this doesn’t work for people with adhd (in my experience/from what i’ve heard from other people with adhd in my life). i recommend doing the easy/moderately difficult stuff first, that way you can convince yourself that it’s all going to be this easy and undemanding. then hyper-focus will kick in because your brain is like, “yeah, we can do this, we’ve got this.” then, before you know it, you’ve completed both the easy tasks and the hard tasks while hyperfocusing.
like, on a serious note, it’s always been easier for me to convince myself to get the most difficult tasks done when i’m already working/in the working frame of mind, not when i’m laying in bed or sitting on the couch, mindlessly scrolling through stuff on my phone, and struggling to start at all.
if the choice comes down to you not starting at all or starting with the easiest task first (which, for me, it often does), always, always pick starting with the easiest task first. sometimes you need a small victory, a little bit of an accomplishment, to give you the courage to take on bigger challenges.

Random question, but who do you think was worse: Reagan, Thatcher or Brian Mulroney? The three conservative leaders of the 80s. Personally, I think Reagan was the worst of the three. And I think Mulroney was the best. Let me explain:
I think Mulroney was best. Because while Mulroney seems to have had some very bad domestic policies, at least he didn't get us involved in any major wars (as far as I'm aware), and he also opposed apartheid. So his foreign policy was at least not as bad as it could have been, which gets him the top spot.
Reagan was worst because both his domestic and foreign policy sucked. Reaganomics was bad for america, and his response to things like the AIDS crisis was also disastrous. And it's not like he had too good of a foreign policy either. He supported millitary coups all throughout Central and Southern America, and also there were things like Iran-Contra which probably show his bad foreign policy. Also, he tried to veto MLK Jr Day from becoming a thing. Who does that!?
So because Mulroney is best and Reagan is worst, I guess Thatcher is the one in the middle slot. She's worse than Mulroney, but better than Reagan. She had a bad domestic policy too (I think), but at least she didn't get the UK involved in as many coups and wars as the US (I think this is true). Also, at least one can say she has an interesting background. She supposedly wanted to be a chemist before going into politics. Which is interesting to me.
But either way, I wonder if anybody else has any thoughts on all this? Who do you consider worst, and who do you consider best here?

funny story
I'm late diagnosed autistic however i use to stim A LOT as a child
but the thing is - my main stim was PLAYING WITH PEOPLE'S EARS.
Not my own. I never ever did it with my own because my own aren't the right texture. But my parents ears were, so I would reach out and flip the top part of their ear back and forth like one of those pop fidget thingies
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Like DO YOU SEE IT do you see what I mean
my cartilage was too thick to do it so I would literally sit there in my parents lap with a pacifier in my mouth just fiddling with their ears staring into space
for like 15 minutes at a time.
I am an only child so my parents never questioned it they just assumed that's what babies did 😭😭😭
Adults would be like why is your baby doing that and my parents would be like 'oh ya know - im sure they have their reasons'
Family members would be like hey you should get them to stop doing that and my parents were like 'why??? it's harmless. they're literally a baby. chill.'
Meanwhile I was like six years old
And I did it for YEARS.
Theyd be like 'cut it out my ear is getting sore' so I'd stop five minutes later im like
Tumblr media
gimmie ear.
I even remember trying it on people who didn't have the right ears for it and being like... completely disinterested in having them hold me
thinking like 'oh ur ear sucks u can put me down now 😖😒'
and honestly i love myself. that's such an autistic power move
being like not only will i stim but you will stim with me. in public. right now.
like imagine a baby with a little mandated autistic bonding ritual that I subjected all allistics to
yes I will sit quietly and play with my toys but you have to sit next to me and give me your ear
ur having a conversation? okay u can listen with one ear now gimmie the other
my mom didn't wear earrings for years. 😭😭 sorry mom
and they somehow didn't notice I was autistic until I was 25.
Assert Dominance Over Neurotypicals. Enforce Mandated Group Stimming.
