That’s basically me too. I’m #AuDHD and most of my quirks are moderate but the combination makes peopling all day more and more exhausting the older I get. @neurospicy @neurodivergent #neurospicy #neurodivergent
Some insights and stories from Gary Numan that I've not heard before https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002js3b
“musical legend Gary Numan opens up about being autistic and how he interacts with the world differently. For Gary, music isn’t something he listens to for comfort or relaxation, writing music is a tool to cope with the world. He reflects on the intensity of his creative process and the role obsession plays in shaping both his music and his perspective, revealing how his neurodivergence is a gift, not a disorder. Alongside deeply personal stories, Gary shares a selection of music from the early days when he was obsessed with music to now being obsessed with certain songs”
Three parts:
1. the role of obsession in his music and life
2. on how he expresses his emotions
3. on being misunderstood

Hello all! It's your friendly neighborhood mod Glitch, and I need some help.
I am a trans nonbinary neurodivergent individual with multiple disabilities who is unable to work, and I do not currently qualify for disability.

Liebe Alle, ich bitte um eure Hilfe: wer kennt eine Anlaufstelle in Baden-Württemberg für einen vermutlich neurodivergenten Jugendlichen, der sich durchs Leben kämpft und noch keine Diagnose für irgendwas hat. Ich lese so oft hier, dass eine Diagnose dabei hilft sich selbst zu verstehen. Was empfehlt ihr? #followerpower #neurodivergent #weitertroeten
Hey there! I'm Lily, a proud trans lesbian from Conifer #Colorado, a mom of a teenage son, and a perpetual instance admin / migrator.
This is my #Sharkey account.
I'm a neurodivergent woman in tech working as a Senior SRE.
I love to be #outdoors, tend to the #homestead, play in my wood shop, hang out with my kiddo, play #videogames, play #guitar, #snowboard, and see whatever kind of trouble my wife and I can get into on the weekends.

My mom wanted us to get groceries earlier today for her. I was already worried about it because I wasn’t very awake yet. I began getting more and more anxious while driving because I obviously didn’t want to get into an accident. When we actually got to the store I stayed in the car and tried to not have a panic attack. By the time Wren got back out with the food I was somewhat more awake so driving home was a little easier. My stepdad pulled me aside later and was asking if I’m okay & how I should let them help me. He was saying that the attacks are going to get worse as I get older if I don’t get help for them. I really do want therapy again but I’ve been putting it off for various reasons. I miss my therapist that I had for several years. I hope that she’s doing okay. I was supposed to get an autism assessment done where she works but by the time I was called about an appointment I had just moved to a new state. Part of me doesn’t want the assessment now because people will always treat someone who’s diagnosed with autism poorly. Not to mention that Trump is not helping with the ableism with the dumb things he’s said lately about being on the spectrum.
@Photo55 Youre right, but it probably won't surprise you that I try to vacuum the carpet and websearch the internet. As the unofficial motto of so many scientific trades goes: "you don't have to be autistic to work here, but it helps".
How come you are autistic but you have ADHD? Shouldn't you actually be either/both? Why doesn't the same logic apply to both?

El imperio de la normalidad

Chapman, des de la seua experiència com a persona de l'espectre autista, oferix una història materialista de la neurodiversitat, que subratlla la relació entre explotació i salut mental.

An entertaining way to learn about life with #ADHD is reading it in fiction. So I've gathered 22 authors, most with ADHD, & we've each contributed a book with a main or supporting character with ADHD to this bundle.
My Manipulator's War includes
-restlessness, impatience & recklessness.
-2 minds that. Do. Not. Stop. Thinking.
-the tendency to NOTICE things.
(The latter are useful in understanding a mysterious enemy's motives .)
I wrote about betrayal. Now I'm going to write about love
Aristotle* said, there are three forms of friendship:

#GretaThunberg is now a hero for #neurodivergent people, for #LGBT people and #feminists, and for youthful rebellion. That mighty broad mix extends well into social groups that Israel can't afford to lose.
It's not just that the current youth will age and gain power and inflience, taking with them anger that #IsraelTorturedGreta. She is a big enough icon to have some degree of enduring appeal, and Israeli mistreatment of Greta will be a central part of that story. Not a good move.
