shoutout to all the adhd kids who grew up being called liars when they said they forgot something/didnt understand something/didnt know something/etc and ended up afraid to actually just tell people that they forgot or didnt know as they got older. if ur reading this i love u
Time blindness is so fucking funny like when i was a third grader, a literal 9 years old i remember thinking how fast time is, and how i will be in highschool like very soon because in three years time i will be in sixth grade and that is like super duper very soon. While some days ago I remembered something that happened and i tried to remember when that was and my head goes " oh yeah, that happened yesterday "
No it did not
it happened like 30 minutes ago
That neurodivergent / executive dysfunction thing where you are *about* to start a task. You’re not doing it yet...but you’re so so close. almost there. Just need a little bit more . “⚡️⚡️🔌” that’s all. THEN you’ll be ready. you can do it, soon. Just need a little bit more juice...
a little bit...
any minute now
...almost...ready...
come on holy fuck...
just a little bit more.....
me: *is jokingly mean to my friend*
friend: *jokingly pretends to be hurt*
me (autistic, moral ocd):
Just saw a post that said, “young does not mean pain free. young does not mean abled.” Yes, absolutely. And equally: autistic does not mean a child. Learning disabilities do not mean a child. Developmental disabilities do not mean a child. Both in the sense that we do grow up, actually, and in the sense that, when we grow up, we are true adults. Needing help with certain things does not negate this.

i hate it when people speak for me, most of the time its not even that close to what's in my mind with the words they spits out. BUt i also fucking hate it when someone finally asked me why and letting me speak cause only at that moment I can't reply because out of nowhere i forgot everything even to how i'm feeling. now they really gonna think i am just a doodoo wind head the fuck
If there was one thing I could get neurotypicals to understand it would be this:
The thing that is frustrating you about me is frustrating me far more than it could ever frustrate you. I know when I’m not functioning. I know when I’m falling short. I know when I’m falling apart. I also know that it takes a lot to regain the confidence of someone else once it has been lost, so I know I’m going to have to work harder than ever, and that is an exhausting thought for me, more than you could possibly imagine. It’s not your problem. I know that, and I don’t expect any special treatment. I’m not stupid. Just know that I know.
