Actually Neurodivergent - Tumblr Posts
When people say they accept my autistic self for who I am and then make fun of people who:
Are fussy eaters
Have trouble regulating their emotions
Are emotional
Have “unusual” special interests
Have interests you think are childish
Fidget a lot
Are socially awkward
Etc etc
It’s almost like you don’t accept autistic people or something
*at the ADHD wizard meeting* sometimes i just find it difficult to hocus-focus
ADHD is actually nuts: I'm really sitting here holding my pee bc "peeing is boring" 😭
while the idea that autism is a “superpower” is very very much wrong i will say that the joy gotten from special interests hits so hard it cancels everything else out
my ass got STRANDED in penn station nyc after unfortunate circumstances and the only thing that was more overpowering than the WORRY AND JISY FUCK HOW DO I GET TO PLACES was the pure train tism
if it was an airport i would be GONE but nope i am surrounded by trains i am vibrating at light speed
Got diagnosed at the age if 18 as autistic! Not even a bit surprised, but really relieved
Yeah, pretty much
ADHD at night: I could write a book. I could get my Master’s Degree. I could go to the club and come home with 12 new friends. I could get a job at that club and meet the mother of my children. I could cure every disease and use my wealth to bring world peace.
ADHD during the day: Fold laundry too hard :( Come back next week
I need to get over the fact that there's no way around being visibly autistic. I need to get over my aversion towards stimming in public. I need to start wearing ear defenders. I need to start using methods of communication that don't require my voice more.
I need to break this suffocating mask, because I am still being flagged; I am still being seen as weird, despite trying my very best to blend in. I am harming myself, and it's all for nothing.
saw an ad on this very site that said 'ADHD is a depression response'. so close! it's actually its own neurodivergence!
Bro.
I just explained to my cousin that I make up little scenarios in my head whenever I’m by myself, and I just so happened to predict something with a scenario, and he was like: “dude, that’s just Deja Vu.” And I’m like-
No Trey, I’M JUST NEURODIVERGENT
If i ever saw someone using any disability as insult,i am turning the schizospec murder in movies
for like 2 years when i was a small child i wouldn’t eat anything but kraft mac and cheese or one specific obscure brand of premade frozen pancakes (with peanut butter and syrup) or one specific brand dinosaur chicken nuggets and i wouldnt drink anything but chocolate milk made from that nestle powder stuff. if i had to eat anything else i would literally make myself throw up. i eat more of a variety now but the only reason little me stopped that was bc my mom got with my stepdad and he would force feed me if i didnt want to eat what he wanted me to! but anyway yeah idk how that wasnt a clue to anyone.
undiagnosed or late-diagnosed autistics, time to reveal yourselves. what is one memory from your childhood or pre-teen years that should have suggested to people that you might have autism, but didn’t.
for me, i made my mom sing me a lullaby every night until i was 12, because i didn’t like the idea of my nightly routine ever changing. if she didn’t sing me one, i would get out of bed, go get her from wherever she was in the house, bring her to my room, and make her tuck me in and sing one to me. i wasn’t able to fall asleep until she did.
I make a randomly generated shaker charm!
Miraculous reworkering
Wish i could draw;
Marinette: tone down her obsessive tendencies, and give her a costume that reflects her Chinese heritage, she seems rather proud of it
Adrien: Give this boy some brain wrinkles!also add some elements of stereotypical punkish leather jacket to his costume, because being chatnoir (for him at least) is an act of rebellion
Gabriel/Hawkmoth: Make it 92.4% more obvious that his grief is at the wheel when he’s hawkmoth with scenarios like of lucidity like in “Gorizilla“
Alya: ... Skip
Lila: I would have volpina be a real miraculous holder, but has it taken away by master fu
Nino: he’s fine
Kagami: Well, i’ve got a headcanon that canon!Kagami is on the spectrum. so that, also have her costume have elements of tokusatsu heroes!
Chloé: Slow down her redemption arc, but have stick!
Luka, Juleka, and Rose::: i can’t think of anything
do you ever have a moment where you have to close your eyes because there's too many different sounds to process
when you zone out so hard math class starts sounding like some globglogabgalab ahh shit
Turns out I actually have had undiagnosed meantal illness for years
In my Hopeless Era, not hopeless romantic, just without hope.
My mom just described my literal symptoms of autism back to me and I'm like "yeah I'm autistic dip shit my brain literally works differently" she's being a bit of a bitch right now because she and my entire family other than me shouted at grandpa for his brain working differently than theirs and it makes me feel shitty.
