Thinking today about how as someone with major texture issues around most fruits and vegetables, it would have helped so much if someone had come to me years ago and said

Hey:

Make it tiny

Mix it with something Good Texture that you like

"Eat healthy!" they say, and then they show you pictures of a smiling woman digging a fork into half a butternut squash or eyeing a bowl of whole blueberries like a ravening wolf and your spine wants to crawl out through your skull at the thought of that Texture in your mouth.

But you know what I can do? Cut zucchini into paper-thin slices and cook it with noodles and marinara. Chop that spinach fine and scramble it with eggs and cheese. If I'm having a day where the thought of a grape popping in my mouth makes me nauseous, I can cut it in half. My chinese takeout gets diced into tiny pieces and mixed into the rice. It doesn't work with everything - seeds are still a Major Problem - but the number of fruits and veg and even world cuisines that I can eat has expanded SO MUCH since I discovered this. YMMV, but it's such a stupidly simple thing to do, and nobody ever told me.

people who are neurodivergent:

autistic people

people with ADHD

people who are ALSO neurodivergent:

anxious and depressed people

intellectually disabled people

people with Multiple Sclerosis

schizospec (schizophrenia spectrum) people

people with movement and tic disorders

antisocial and narcisstic people

people with brain injuries (ex, from physical trauma or stroke)

plural people, including nondisordered ones

people with paraphilic disorders

literally anyone with a condition related to the nervous system (brain, spinal cord, nerves) or other "atypical" brain experiences

neurodivergent is an umbrella term that covers a whole bunch of people! it is not a synonym for autism and adhd. please include all kinds of neurodivergent people in your activism!

(disclaimer: no one has to be neurodivergent if they dont want to; people are allowed to define themselves as they wish!)

Annoys the fuck out of me when people in positions of authority at my work from home job are like “we should all get together in person, it’s so beneficial.” To you. And you can go in whenever you want. But why do I have to travel for 12 hours when I don’t find it beneficial (in fact I find it actively damaging)? Extroverts always win. Morning people always win. In person workers always win. Fucking sick of it

Seriously?! For real?!!

All this time whenever I use those words/phrases I meant it literally so I'm expecting the same when other people use it.

People I followed up must have been annoyed at me. T_T

Neurotypicals / non-autistics, why do you have such a complicated way of communicating? Why don't you just say whatever it is your want to say/mean?

hi, hope you're doing well! i know you joined the team in s2 when a lot of that groundwork was laid in s1, but what were the discussions around the portrayal of sherlock's depression/addiction like? i love how elementary seemed to portray his depression as more dysthmic especially compared to contemporary shows like You're the Worst/Bojack Horseman, though it seemed to be less of a focus in later seasons. also thanks for helping my fave show of all time come to life!

I'm fine except for the annoying covid.

We talked about Sherlock's addiction all the time, though less so about his depression. I'm not 100% sure he has depression, TBH. Maybe bipolar disorder? Whatever type of depression he may or may not have is complicated by a LOT of other issues. We always believed Sherlock's neuroatypicality was extremely atypical and thus difficult to pin down. We wrote that part of him as, well, Sherlock. Diagnose at your own peril.

That said, I can certainly see why you might see him as dysthymic. Your understanding of Sherlock's issues may vary.

And thanks for the kind words.

Hey so I don't know if it's been discussed before, but are high-IQ people considered a part of the neurodivergent community ?

I feel like people often don't know or ignore the fact that high IQ doesn't mean intelligence, but does mean neurodivergence. The brain doesn't function the same way - High IQ is neuroatypical, like the autism spectrum, ADHD or dyslexia

Yet I feel like I've never seen it adressed unless it's linked to autism or 'burned out gifted kids' (which is not what I'm talking about here). How come ? If anyone knows more, genuinely asking !

Aujourd'hui je vous présente mes dernières créas !

Pour vous raconter le déroulement : un'e client'e m'a passé commande d'un badge / illustration qui dirait "Autiste et TDA" car elle n'en trouvait qu'en anglais. De plus elle avait adoré ma série de badges d'animaux mignons LGBTIA+ et voulait quelque chose dans la même veine.

Je lui ai proposé de faire plusieurs tests, puis de les proposer à mes mécènes et à vous mes followers. Et ceux qui auront reçu le plus de votes partirons en fabrication.

J'ai un poil galéré au début, me prenant (trop) la tête pour savoir quel type d'animal correspondrait à la communauté Autiste et TDA, avant de dessiner tout ce qui me passait par la tête.

N'hésitez pas à commenter et/ou liker et je prendrais vos avis en compte pour envoyer les badges en fabrication !

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

J'ai pu prendre le temps de crée ces visuels grâce à mes mécènes qui me soutienne sur Patreon. Iels ont eu accès à tous les Work In progress tout le long de la création et aux visuels définitifs plusieurs semaines en amont. Si vous voulez me soutenir c'est par ici : https://www.patreon.com/LaurierTheFox

Purple + Bug stuff Bugbo themed stimboard for @thearchyexpunged!!! I'm not too familiar with the content, so I went mostly on the character design (color) and well, the fact that he's a bug!

If there's anything I could've done better, send me another ask and I'll remake it!

Ablebody autistic people (or ablebody ND really) need to start recognising the unique experiences of cripple ND people and stop speaking over them in the community. It is not a competition of who is the most hurt or have it worse. They need to stop calling themselves cripple when this is a term specifically for disabled body people.

I created an Autpunk design years ago and recently got a message where someone was looking for something similar for ADHD so I went ahead and made it

Available on Redbubble ‘ADHD Punk’

Sadly the person messaged on anonymous so I can’t directly reply to them. Hopefully they find it!!

HEY im mousetrap.. It's my #1 mission 2 make every character neuroatypical 🎉 it/ver pronouns if u please…

i'll accept characters from hiveswap OR homestuck ; please spell out the disorder isntead of abbreviating (e.g. "obsessive-compulsive disorder" rather than "OCD") so ik what youre talking about ; you can ask for icons OR a drawing OR both (icons will be faster 4 me 2 complete) ;

"how do i ask for a DRAWING of a mental illness D:?"

Like so! "narcissist charun taking pictures of themselves," "attention deficit-hyperactive disorder roxy playing with a tangle," "fozzer with cotard's using makeup to look rotten," etc. (using some of my disorders + coping mechanisms as examples).

don't come into my inbox using the term asperger's okay i'm not at all comfortable with it and your request/headcanon won't be posted. i suggest autistic, autism, or autism spectrum disorder instead

and a small update: i can draw characters with self-harm scars, picking skin/hair, stuff like that no problem. the only thing i won't do is someone actively cutting (or something similar) themself, just for personal reasons.

Big News!

Today, I achieved something I've spent many years hoping I would.

I officially became an advocate for the Dandy-Walker Alliance.

Advocacy isn't easy. Some days it's exhausting. Some days it feels like you're yelling into a void. But there are also days when things seem to go just right. On those days, you connect with people you never dreamed you would. Your voice gets heard. The door you never thought you'd unlock springs wide open.

Today, I'm walking through that door.

My mission going forward is to continue the wonderful work this non-profit organization does through social media outreach, and developing the Someone Strong project to allow others with DWS to share their experiences in a relaxed environment that provides an opportunity to form friendships and strengthen bonds between those who know what it's like to live with this condition.

At the end of the month, my first article will be published. This is just the beginning of a long and fulfilling journey.

Your continued support and love means so much. Let's keep making the magic happen x
