Okay, So I Try Hard To Cover Global Queer History, And This Isn't Marking A Stop To That, But I Am Aware

AuDHD is so funny sometimes like what do you mean my hyperfixations/special interests will last for years on end or possibly forever but they will cycle out every month or two with absolutely no transitional period or warning. like i will think about the same topic every day obsessively for 46 days in a row and on the 47th day with no visible cause adhd brain goes "ok! bored of that now" and autism brain goes "dw i got something queued up for ya" and i blast into full blown obsession on some other topic whose mental file folders haven't opened in 9 months. brain's out here treating hyperfixations like a crop rotation. once the dopamine runs out it cycles in another one but once something's in the rotation it never ever leaves. last summer we brought in one from when i was 11. it's so funny to me but frustrating too bc like. i cannot stress enough my inability to predict or control this. or how completely abrupt and random it can be

I LOVE being autistic and trying to communicate because every time it’s

strap from a funny butch call that sillycone

I hate how, when legislation and technology become threats to the disabled community, especially the physically and severely disabled, abled people freak out about spillover happening to them.

And it's extra shitty that its usually other minorities who, as usual, don't so much as mention us

Elon's stupid brain chips were announced and the Internet went nuts with 'he's trying to cure autism and other neurodivergencies!'

Meanwhile, Musk's human guinea pigs were phtsically disabled people, paralysed people.

Trump was elected and I didn't hear a word about the fact that he legitimately thinks we should die.

And now the UK has green-lit euthanasia because a fragment of mostly abled people campaigned for it and I just saw a fucking post about 'oh no, they're going to start killing trans, Black and poor people now'

As though our government isn't actively targeting disabled people between this and their decimation of our benefits.

If you're on disability benefits, you can't have more than £6000 savings. Over that triggers them to look at your bank account and then start deducting a percentage of your benefits every £250

It's a good thing medical equipment is so cheap.

The only place I hear anything about disabled people is in disabled spaces, and for other minority communities who talk a big game about intersectionality, that's pretty fucking shit.

I literally cant fucking breathe 

You'd have to stop the world just to stop the feeling

I think it needs to become common knowledge that "inability to read social cues" can show up as overcompensating.

You don't know how much misbehaviour is allowed, so you become the perfect child who never tests rules.

You don't know if someone is irritated with you, so you'll be extra generous and self-effacing.

You don't know how much is expected of you at work so you'll kill yourself in a minimum-wage job and not notice that nobody else is working like this.

"Hardworking and quiet" should be as much of an autism red flag as "ignores rules and doesn't know when to stop talking". Or why don't we just start using words to communicate so i can stop tracking everybody's eyebrow twitches, that would be great.

"Oh you had a plague? Come back to us when you had a World War, brand new unconventional weapons, and a new international order."
