Exactly!!!!! But you don’t know what you should do because everyone’s just staring at you and making snide comments rather than offering help!!!!! And if they decide you’re asking too many questions or ask them to repeat themselves, they get irritated and tell you you should already know that, or they just told you, but they told you in a way you just can’t understand! So then you stop asking questions, and then when you mess up they get irritated at you again because you didn’t ask for help!
I think that sometimes, having autism/ADHD is kind of like being in a country that speaks a language/has a culture you only know a little of.
•You think you’re good to go, but you get to your destination, and everyone’s speaking faster than you thought they would. You can only tell what a few words are.
•You can’t keep up with anything anyone is saying. They’re all speaking too fast, and all at once. You try to ask them to slow down and speak one at a time, but they brush you off.
•You go to a restaurant, and you think you know how to order, but you sit down and see things you never learned on the menu, and when it comes time to order, you can’t remember how to.
•When you look around, you can’t quite understand what all the signs and store names say. Slowly, you get a headache from reading them and trying to translate them into something that makes sense.
•When you do something normal in your country, people stare at you like you’ve grown a second head. You don’t understand why—it’s completely normal to you, something you do all the time. When you explain this to them, they shake their heads and click their tongues at you and make a generalization about your country.
Idk, this is just kinda how I view it!

if youre adhd/autistic (or both like this dude here) im just here to say you're NOT annoying me when you scroll through my blog for half an hour (or longer, who cares) and reblog everything you like. doesnt matter if my notes are you and just you for what feels like a mile of scrolling. hyperfcoused on my blog? rad. autism/adhd are your special interests / hyperfixations? amazing. just got stuck in executive dysfunction and you actually have been wanting to do the laundry for two hours but youre still scrolling? i hope you can function that executiveness tm soon but youre amazing too. any other reason? dont worry youre good. thats all i had to say really, but i truly want you all to know this.
That neurodivergent feel when you’re not in bed when you’re usually in bed, so you should be in bed, but you can’t get up to go to bed because of executive dysfunction so everything is Wrong™️.

I thought I made this post last night but it isn’t showing up on my blog so here goes:
If you are I am not charging for the soap but if you are able to provide some money for postage it is appreciated. However if you cannot get soap in your area and you cannot afford postage we will work something out. There are a limited number of varieties available but if you have a preference let me know and I will try to get that type first.
In this time with global shortages I don’t feel right profiting off of something that has a scarcity and if I can help anyone I will.
Final note: If you are able to get soap in ypur area please share the post but do not try to get a bar. It’s hard right now for a lot of people to get access to basic supplies.
Thanks, y’all.

I just saw a post about the Calm Harm app that said there's also a very similar app called Clear Fear! I didn't want to reblog that post because some of the reblogs were very guilt trippy, so here's my own post about it:
Clear Fear is an app that helps you with anxiety attacks in much the same way Calm Harm helps with self harm. You can customise your colours, you can add a passcode to it so that other people can't open the "self-monitoring" tab with your information, and you can customise your gender. This last bit is only for research purposes but I thought it was nice :)
When you first open the app, it asks you to make your own personal list of activities that you know help you reduce anxiety. You can also add contact numbers of people you know you can talk to when you're having an attack. You can fill these in later, tho!
Once inside the app, you can go back to these lists in the tab "safety net":
The orange circle takes you to a hotline number page. The other two circles take you to the activities and people that you listed earlier. If you write down these lists when you're feeling good, it'll help you remember all the things that can help and that you may not be able to list while you're having an attack!
There are many more options depending on your individual needs — an animal gif section, a joke section, a section with ideas to express yourself, a list of positive thoughts and inspirational quotes, breathing activities, information on the different types of anxiety, and much more!
As an end note, please don't add guilt-tripping comments to this post. No one must reblog this — only those who feel comfortable doing so!
PETA: They’d rather spend their money on publicity campaigns than on the animals in their care. PETA killed 73.8% of the animals in their care in 2015 (x)
FCKH8: Is a for-profit company that exploits oppressed groups for money. They’re also wildly uninformed, and spread misogyny, cissexism and bi/panphobia, as well as stealing their posts/designs (x)
Autism Speaks: They spend most of their money on researching a way to eliminate autism, heighten the stigma against autism and don’t have a single autistic person on their board (x)
Please support other, better charities, and feel free to add any others you can think of to this.

Dr James Barry, the first doctor to perform a successful C section wherein both mother and child survived, was a huge champion of handwashing at a time when most doctors didn’t wash their hands. For this reason, many of the chilldbirths he delivered resulted in healthier babies and mothers. He was also a gay trans man, who specifically wrote that upon his death he wished for his body to be taken in its nightshirt, wrapped in his sheets as a shroud, and placed into the coffin so that nobody would see his body. His wishes were not respected, and as a result he was outed at his death.
Can you please reblog if your blog is a safe place for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, asexual, aromantic, pansexual, non binary, demisexual or any other kind of queer or questioning people? Because mine is.

Chiune Sugihara. This man saved 6000 Jews. He was a Japanese diplomat in Lithuania. When the Nazis began rounding up Jews, Sugihara risked his life to start issuing unlawful travel visas to Jews. He hand-wrote them 18 hrs a day. The day his consulate closed and he had to evacuate, witnesses claim he was STILL writing visas and throwing from the train as he pulled away. He saved 6000 lives. The world didn’t know what he’d done until Israel honored him in 1985, the year before he died.
