Organizing And Cleaning Life Hacks For The Neurodiverse And Spoonie Crowds.

I’m somewhere between 4 & 5, closer to 5, with a dash of ADHD wtf-ness. Almost all of my brain noise is audio, and I have to really focus to see a vague shape of anything.

i have neither a good imagination nor aphantasia, but a secret third thing

My brother got married. In December. I know we aren’t close but I still wish I would have known before now.

“— the problem it’s me.”

Why are universities and colleges obsessed with packing as much as possible into a shortened term? I’m trying to figure out where and what I want to get degree in, and I keep running into the issue of 6.5-8 week terms that are normally 14-16 weeks long.

It’s fine and dandy if you can adjust to that schedule and learning pace, but I have several disabilities that make this extreme learning obsession impossible and very defeating. Not everyone can do that and so many schools don’t accommodate for that because it’s built into the basic degree structure! Does anyone else feel the insanity of this? Get your degree in half the time but burn out before you finish. That’s super healthy! /sarcasm

I feel like this about the doctors responsible for caring for each party too. Managing your own care is exhausting af.

my body is a group project and no one is doing their part correctly

Most of this describes me. I know I wasn’t diagnosed as a child because not much was known about autism, especially in girls. Now it’s eye opening and frustrating, because I know this about myself but getting an official diagnosis is proving to be impossible without paying hundreds of dollars or more.

Hi everyone,

I thought I would share some signs of Autism in adults. I hope many of you find this helpful.

I have been struggling with depression lately, but it’s mostly related to my struggles with chronic illness and the lack of support I have from my medical providers. I need to start this aloud so I know that it’s situational and that it’s not my fault.

Also, I need a new therapist who can better acknowledge that it isn’t for my lack of trying. Having a neurotypical and abled therapist is draining and sometimes makes me feel like I’m being gaslit. And that’s not ok.

I’m looking for a new therapist but that takes time and more patience than I can sometimes muster with the US healthcare system and state insurance/Medicaid. Do not recommend the American healthcare experience, 0/10 rating, no stars.

I’m not okay right now and that has to be okay for now.

Do you ever eat popcorn out of the palm of your own hand with such ardent desperation that you feel like both a wild horse and the gentle schoolgirl feeding it treats to gain its affection
