It’s Never Their Fault.

Does anyone else with ADHD get told “stop speaking so loud!” Or “Lower the volume!” “Quieten down!” Etc… when you just think you’re talking normally… like when you’re desperately trying to jam the words togther in your head so you can speak normally and then you just get told “be quiet… you’re talking too loud… turn it down…” and it’s not meant with any animosity BUT you just get this horrible sinking feeling in your stomach and you can physically feel yourself deflate… Like I can’t even articulate it it just sucks uno…

Can't. Sit. Still. For. More. Then. 10. Seconds.

"yOu WoUlD rEmEmBeR iF iT wAs ImPoRtAnT"

"What time is it?"

"what did you say."

"What tim-"

"7:34"

Talk at the speed of light or stumble over every other word (sometimes both)

"what happened on Jan 3?"

"i sang the same song 23 times in a row while taping my forehead"

"Who was the 2nd president of the United States?"

Learned abt this yesterday "......Thomas Edison or something."

Feel free to add more (this is from mostly personal experience)

As an autistic I’ve come to the recognition this website is mostly autistics

Seriously tho how many of y’all are autistics? Reblog or something so I can count.

1 am. wide awake staring into the silent darkness:

I guess ill watch youtube bc i am unable to sleep

3 seconds into video:

*eyes closing unable to stay open. Falling aslep FAST*

Alright i guess i can sleep now ill put down phone.

Immediately unable to sleep again. The cycle repeats.

THIS

Just for ONCE, I’d love to see a story about an canon autistic character who is COMPLEX.

Who is autistic and more.

Whose personality is rich and fun and whose autism doesn’t other them, but actually shapes them.

I want autism seen in women, and people of color, and to see how culture shapes the subtle nuances of someone on the spectrum.

I want an autistic person with friends.

I want queer aspies, and autistic working professionals, whose asd actually helps instead of hindering their work ethic.

Autistics who are funny—and I DO NOT mean funny by default because they’re socially inept. I mean actually genuinely funny. I mean goofing off, cracking jokes, being the class clown.

I want to see aspies who have more than one special interest, and whose interests aren’t science and nature related.

I want girls who weren’t diagnosed until 17 or 20, and who still question it because girls are conditioned to silence their symptoms and socially adjust.

I want autistic people who are actually like me.

I want autistic PEOPLE.

Me lurking inside my messy as hell room which I really need to clean but havent in a while because of my executive dysfunction, whenever someone comes inside:

WHAT. ARE YOU DOING. IN MY SWAAA-AAMP???!

Do any other neurodivergents ever get yelled at because they used the wrong tone of voice and didn’t realize it? Like I was asking mom a genuine question and I just got yelled at because she thought I was being rude and sarcastic. Like… No? Please answer my question?
