I’m neurodiverse and I have some of the best friends who are also neurodiverse. Best thing about not being in school and having to find friends there? Neurodiverse adults are everywhere and many are realizing that they are special instead of weird because of it.
I’m not going to lie. The neurotypical world is hard to fit in because it wasn’t made for us. But having friends and who are like you make it easier to deal with the NT world. Plus, we tend to have the cooler hobbies and jobs and past times and collections.
We need to talk more about Autistic, ADHD and Neurodiverse Joy
As a kid I felt hopeless because the only narrative you ever see about Autism is the loneliness, the otherness, the bullying and the struggle. I never once saw anything about the joys of having autism or that autistic people can actually have nice things in life. It was all doom and gloom. The world tells autistic and neurodiverse children that their lives are going to suck because of the way their brain is, because of something they can't control and had no say in, and it's wrong
I'm Autistic and I fell in love. I'm Autistic and I have friends, good friends, who love me back. I'm Autistic and I do feel joy and togetherness and peace. THAT is the message we need young Neurodiverse kids to hear. No more shows about our hardships, more stories about our joy please
I needed this today
sending love out tonight to everyone who is progressively losing their abilities, whether that's movement, ability to walk, eyesight, or hearing.
it's hard to come to terms with the fact that you can't do things that you used to be able to do. I'll be honest, it feels like you're losing control of your life. it can feel very isolating and hopeless. its scary and overwhelming, and it's so hard to deal with.
you are not less than just because you can do less. im proud of you for still being here, and i wish you ease with adjusting to new ways of life. please take care of yourself, i love you.
