I’m a pain in the ass
Real talk: I'm autistic, ADHD, and chronically ill. That means my social battery is often on E, my brain weirds out about responding, and by the time I remember to text back… three weeks have passed. 😅
If I owe you a reply, I promise it's not personal. I see you. I love you. My brain just does this thing where existing takes 90% of my energy and the remaining 10% is trying to remember if I ate today.
Alternatives that actually work:
Try me on a good day (between 10am-2pm is prime time
long meaningful notes where I can take a day or two to craft a response just as meaningful!
Remind me without guilt on one of my other platforms if it’s been a few days but don’t get discouraged if that seems fruitless too. I’m sorry lol
short public comments asking a direct question …
You matter. My neurodivergent chaos just means we gotta get creative. 🧠✨
