I just wanted to make a page for neurodivergent ranting and maybe some fun educational stuff idk.
I have a lotta stuff including dyspraxia, OCD, ADHD, Auditory Processing Disorder, sensory issues, dyslexia, trichotillomania, etc. etc. I'm too lazy to add more detail LMAOOOOO

Some people constantly change their opinions to match those around them, so they'll be socially accepted.
For some reason, I do the opposite, and it's exhausting.
When someone says they hate everyone with (insert unpopular opinion here), I mentally adopt that opinion, I guess to prove to myself that the person doesn't really love me.
I don't know why. Maybe I'm testing them to make sure they won't abandon me. Maybe I'm trying to defend people with unpopular opinions. Maybe I'm just afraid of agreeing with people? I don't know.
But it makes me feel like everyone's out to get me, and I hate it.
Pro tip for my fellow neurodivergent people who are constantly ignored/treated like you're invisible by neurotypicals: learn your generation's lingo!
When I started speaking in Gen Z slang, people started actually acknowledging my existence, and it was magical.
Say "I'm so stressed," and nobody cares.
Say: "Low key ready to crash out," and everyone's like "So true😭"
Feels like learning an alien language and being accepted into the galactic federation.
Nobody gets this😭
People always get weirded out when dyspraxic people act socially off-beat because "well they don't have autism, so they should be able to socialize fine."
Like no, I cannot read social cues to save my life.
Isn't it fun how, when you DO tell people you're disabled and/or neurodivergent, they see you as lesser, but, when you DON'T, they get annoyed at you, because they expect you to act neurotypical/abled, and don't understand why you don't?
✨We love having no way to win/j

some moral ocd haver with 4 followers: hmmm.... i dont know... saying puppies dont deserved to be kicked seems kind of risky. what if im not as well-spoken as i think and people misunderstand me and think im actually pro puppies getting kicked? maybe this can just stay in the drafts. i dont want to come off as an deplorable force of evil
THIS.
What if saying "puppies don't deserve to get kicked" sounds like I'm implying someone who ISN'T a puppy SHOULD get kicked?
What if saying "puppies don't deserved to get kicked" proves I'm morally out-of-touch because multiple wars are happening and I'm over here talking about puppies?
Haha, I'm switching OCD meds and thus currently taking nothing. Can you tell?💀
I hate how much I relate to this. This exact thing is the reason I dont engage in social justice and political discussions EVER. Not because I dont care. Not because I'm burying my head in the sand. Its because I'm terrified I'm gonna say the wrong thing, or say something that reads as wrong, and hurt someone.
THANK YOU REBLOGGER, because I was legit starting to think I was the only one.
It's such a double edged sword, and it's torture.
If you engage, your OCD spirals.
If you don't engage, it STILL spirals, because people accuse you of "burying your head in the sand" or worse, being "complacent," or "a bystander."
Avoidance is a compulsion! Not a choice!
And compulsions can't be fixed overnight. It's incredibly hard. Please be patient with us, and don't trigger us further. It only makes the compulsion worse.
Especially when the moral OCD is paired with autonomy-related obsessions.

Oh thank GOD it's not just me. And having OCD makes it even worse eidusiwjsisjendnsnwjskwi
Or when it takes place in a fictional world, and you gotta restart because it didn't feel "canon" enough💀💀💀💀
everyone tells me that ADHD isn't an excuse for being lazy and that there are people with ADHD who have overcome their symptoms and are successful but every day I drag around an invisible dopplegänger of myself who is horrible and listless and always complains. and he is so heavy. I'm ambitious and I'm passionate but he isn't and the problem is that to get anywhere in life I have to grab him by the leg and pull him along the whole way, kicking and screaming, and sometimes it gets exhausting. sometimes he pulls me down with him. and it gets a bit difficult to explain to people why I'm lying down on the floor in pain when they can't see him.
THIS THIS THIS.
My manager who freaking ALSO has ADHD always said something along those lines to me, and it's such bs.
It's basically saying "I know you have ADHD, but, if you try hard enough, it'll go away/you'll have it the way I have it."
Like, first of all, what works for YOU doesn't necessarily work for me.
Second of all, we DO try hard. It's impossible to work "fast enough" when your brain automatically deletes all your memories mid-task, and labels EVERYTHING as important to focus on.
Let us find our OWN strategies. Calling us lazy makes it feel pointless, and then we REALLY won't try.
Any other neurodivergent people have wild experiences with clowns?
Dude, I have a vivid memory from when I was a kid; There were clowns performing in the hospital waiting room. I had terrible social anxiety, so I wanted to avoid them, but I failed.
One clown walked up to me, jokingly handed me a prop pair of underpants, and said: "Hey, could you hold this for me?"
And my literal-minded self shrugged, and very flatly said: "Ok." Tried to actually take them, and he wouldn't let me. Everyone laughed and thought it was hilarious.
I didn't understand why it was funny. I was so embarrassed and ashamed the rest of the day.
In hindsight, though, it was funny af. My neurodivergent ass was too neurodivergent for the clowns. Poor guys. They tried their best😭😂

please stop associating the term neurodivergent with JUST autism and adhd. like please. there are so many ways to be neurodivergent and it’s not fair to assume that it’s just about autism adhd.
YES! THIS! THANK YOU!
Like, don't get me wrong, it's great we recognize those are both forms of neurodivergence. But this assumption makes life so much harder.
For example, I was overjoyed the other day, because they added a sensory space to the mall I go to: Fidgets, headphones, etc. Which was GREAT because I was SUPER overstimulated.
But I felt like I was breaking the rules, because it specifically said: "Autism friendly zone" and I don't have autism, I have Sensory Processing Disorder.
It's a small nitpick, because I'm genuinely SO happy they have it at ALL. Lord knows we didn't have this stuff when I was a kid.
It just sucks because it makes us have to explain ourselves.
Having dyspraxia, sensory issues, and OCD is wild, because your dyspraxia makes you drop food on yourself, and it gets on your skin, and your sensory issues are like "wait, that's illegal," and your OCD is like "actually that's contamination so go wash your hands 40 times" and-
Shout out to folks with Dyspraxia!
A toast to all of our mysterious bruises from when we bumped into things we don't even remember bumping into🍷
That moment when you walk into a grocery store and are assaulted by every smell in existence, and the packaging on everything is the brightest color possible, and you wanna crawl out of your skin-
Everyone talks about the executive functioning issues that come with ADHD, and the balance issues that come with dyspraxia.
But, for me, the most debilitating part of both those conditions is the short-term memory problems.
Can we talk about how scary having memory issues is? Because holy crap.
It doesn't feel like "forgetting." It feels like reality is warping around you, and you're helpless to stop it
I can't even express the feeling where you KNOW you were holding an object, like your wallet, in your HAND, five seconds ago, and suddenly it disappears. And you have no memory of putting it down. No memory of anything changing.
Not to mention society puts so much stigma on "forgetful" people, because, culturally, we assume forgetting means you don't care.
People can't comprehend that, just because you forgot something, doesn't mean you don't think it's important.
I live in fear I'll forget to turn off the gas stove. One does not simply "not care" about that.
But forgetting always gets you a lecture: "Be more careful." Even when people KNOW you have a memory disability.
"Try to write things down" as if I'd RMEEMBER that
YES! YOU GET IT!

You ever have that moment where you're trying to multitask, and your brain goes: "You're making me think about too many things. I shall now dump everything out."
And your whole brain goes blank, and you're like "tf was I doing?"
