"You're making autism your whole personality but you shouldn't, you're not your autism !"

Listen. When I was diagnosed I found out EVERYTHING I thought was my "personality" were actually autistic traits and it messed me up so bad because I didn't know who I was anymore. Literally EVERY. SINGLE. Thing I ever did or thought was actually autism. Then I realized hey, if all of my personality is "just autism", that means all of neurotypicals' personalities are also "just neurotypicality". Actually I can even observe it now that I know all of the traits and it's very obvious ! But neurotypicals are considered the norm, so they don't have to analyze it so they don't know.

My autism is my whole personality the same way your neurotypicality is your whole personality, you just never had to acknowledge it unlike me

there is so much overlap between ADHD and autism (and so many people who fit the criteria for both) that it's likely they will eventually end up being reclassified as related orders, or as members of the same spectrum. this is a good thing that will make it easier for people to get an accurate and helpful diagnosis! in the meantime, I'm so proud of how much solidarity I see between ADHD and autistic folks online. I see ya'll pooling resources and sharing tools & coping strategies, and just generally offering support and acceptance, and I am so proud.

I typed “no this is Patrick” and I got in

I can’t tell you how much I love this artwork from ancient Egypt (the Middle Kingdom). People have been raising cattle and practicing animal husbandry for so long, that there is something almost inherently human about this scene.

Everyone in the field of veterinary medicine or agriculture knows the feeling of staying up late with a laboring animal trying to make sure both mom and baby are okay. Delivering a calf is often physically and emotionally exhausting work that takes enormous patience and learned skill. It requires a unique balance of physical strength and gentleness to do correctly. There is no feeling quite like getting that baby out and everyone is okay. I’m certain ancient people must have felt the same way, and I wonder if the artist knew this feeling firsthand. I wonder if those humans depicted were people the artist knew, if the cow and calf maybe were as well.

My favourites from the new jellycats!

given that Autistic & ADHD folks have always existed….like the names we use are modern, meaning that most autistic/adhd people went undiagnosed their whole lives, but they still existed and interacted with people……..

my point is autistic/adhd traits have always existed under other names & therefore autistic/adhd characters have always existed whether their creators knew it or now
