This Can Be Intersectional With Other Parts Of The Neurodivergent Community But...

This can be intersectional with other parts of the neurodivergent community but...

Having ADHD is like:

*stims* wait shit I look stupid *stops stimming* no wait shit now I can’t concentrate

“How was your day?” “Oh uh....(wait...how was my day?)” *windows shut down noise*

Alternatively: “How was your day?” “Okay so in history class we learned...” *insert essay here*

We have already talked about this on multiple occasions and I remember it in great detail what do you mean you forgot???

We have already talked about this? Uh oh.

Wow a block of text on a screen! I wish I could absorb any of this :)

Wow 100 tabs open at a time I wish I could prioritize any of this :)

Wow I have been working for hours and I haven’t received any reward chemicals (tm) I still have plenty of time today but the lack of getting anything Done makes me want to just lie down and not do it again

Wait it’s lunch time already?

I opened my conversation application and replied to things. My duty of communicating for the day is complete,,,

Spending ten minutes typing a single response so it’s short but says the right thing

I was standing too close because I got wrapped up in what you were saying I am so sorry I’m not trying to be rude

I was standing too close to that edge of the table and I fucking bumped into it AGAIN this is the third time TODAY and the tenth time this WEEK

*reciting order in my head so I don’t freeze up and forget when I get to the counter*

Someone said something slightly negative about me and now I want to explode

Having the same ten reactions for everything because those are the ones that communicate the most engagement (I promise I’m listening aaaaaa)

*checks autism symptom list* *checks autism symptom list* *che

You can’t take me on errends I am trying to work >:( *has not done anything for the past three hours*

*curls toes in shoes*

My ears feel like they’re being stuffed with thunderstorms if you don’t turn that noise off so help me I will leave (or worse, there is no noise and I just sort of have to sit there with overstimulated ears and dead air)

*makes a joke that goes over everyone’s head*

*laughs at joke I didn’t understand*

*miscommunicates something* *is not given the indication that the explanation was understood* *worries about being misinterpeteted*

*Throws essay onto table* have I mentioned?? My new hyperfixation?? It’s spy time. *james bond theme*

the allergy i am seeing grow up around small talk in any form is troubling to me. do you know how to make friends with people in your physical environment? it typically starts with small talk. do you want to live in community? small talk. do you want to have the type of relationship with your neighbors where you can run over and borrow a battery for your smoke detector when it starts beeping at 10pm? small talk!! do you want leeway from your coworkers when you fuck up something small? you gotta be able to build a relationship and that's small talk, baybeee.

"but i don't need friends and i don't care about community!" okay, lone ranger, what about the people in your community who need you? "but i have social anxiety!" me too, bud! we simply must soldier on. making up lists of questions to ask people helps. and people are predisposed to be generous, i've found. even if you make some kind of mistake, what is this but the natural give and take of human interaction? nobody is perfect.

you were not put on this earth to live by yourself and then die. you need people and people need you. treat those around you with curiosity and generousness of spirit and you will gain so much goodwill in return.

I didn't realize I'd moved all my pants to another state so I put on makeup while my jeans were drying.

it’s a good thing they’re not tablebottom games because otherwise you’d have to fuck around with like magnets or glue or some shit. youd always have to be dealing with dice or miniatures falling into your eyes. hard to rp expressively while living in constant fear of banging your head. honestly we’re so lucky when you think about it

Huh? Aren't they all/most of them bots? Those were the first 6-7 followers I got immediately after posting absolutely anything, and therefore blocked them.

They're the vast majority of my followers for now which is slightly disappointing lmao

To the select few sort-of-NSFW blogs that follow me, I love you all. Like idk how this appeals to you but I'm glad to be of service.

Also, I really didn't know that many women were into pegging men, this makes me feel happy for the future lol.
