How much I hate clothes shopping? Searched for a dress I like 80% and bought it 2 years ago. Then proceeded to buy the exact same thing in 6 colors. I should be set for the next 3 years or so.
Not sure if I should file this under #Neurodivergent or #ActuallyAutistic. You can call me out if I’m wrong
URGENT!

Being neurodivergent and running the buggiest and weirdest possible build of obscure software instead of the default one, with a series of desperate and innovative fixes and kludged together workarounds, one after the other, just to make it work even a little bit.
"Why don't you just...?" some poor fool asks. Well! Have you got 45 minutes because I sure can tell you why I don't just!

I don’t know if it’s the autistic part of me but being able do my daily small things either makes or breaks a day. Maybe I’m a bit eccentric or rigid for wanting to do certain things in a certain way. Telling me I’m bossy or controlling is absolutely not helpful because you’re clearly not seeing the constant panic behind my mask #ActuallyAutistic #Neurodivergent
For my #queer #neurodivergent buddies: do you think these identities inform each other? Can you separate them from each other? How does being #gay #trans #nonbinary or other #LGBTQIA2S identity AND #autistic #adhd #ptsd #anxiety #depression or other #neurospicy identity take up space in places you go? How do you find joy in these spaces?
As a parent who was told their child may have ‘high functioning aspergers’ on their final day of preschool…to finally getting a clinical face to face diagnosis for #autism in Yr 5, I can say categorically #Farage has no comprehension of how longwinded the system is in the UK in terms of diagnosing #neurodivergent conditions.
And that’s just 1st stage…then you have to fight for #EHCP.

So, the neuropsychologist I’ve been referred to to be assessed regarding ADHD, after two sessions, told me I score way too high on the autism questionnaire, so I must have autism and not ADHD (funny after my previous psychiatrist was sure about my ADHD, but not autism), and my ADHD questionnaire answers are less relevant because the problems “happen in social situations or special contexts” - and I was like ‘aren’t all the contexts special?’, but, of course, didn’t say it out loud - it seems, she’s just one of those who still consider autism and ADHD to be mutually exclusive.
And after that, she said she’s not a specialist in autism, only in ADHD, and I must look for another specialist to talk about autism assessment, and, of course, neither her health center nor my insurance company have one.
And people keep behaving as if those who don’t have an official diagnosis, don’t count! I mean, even financial side aside (hello 340 euros spent for nothing so far!), for someone with executive distinction to get through all those steps is insane and requires quite a lot of effort and dedication from anyone trying to - how can anyone expect all the ND people really go through it?
@timberwraith it gets so much worse. RFK is trying to form a national autism registry using private medical records. Everyone should know exactly where this goes. They’re going to try to exterminate the #neurodivergent. Hell no. We bring this economy to its knees before we let that happen.
Everyone should know exactly where the GOP is taking us and we have to stop them. There have been some calls for general strike. I think we need it.
1938 Germany repeated in 21st century America. #JFKjr RobertF. Kennedy Jr. is reportedly building a national database of individuals with #autism by tapping into private #medical records. The National Institutes of Health #NIH is also involved, gathering data from both government and private sources to hand over to the secretary of health and human services #HHS #hippa #privacy #lawfedi #Neurodivergent

To all my fellow #ActuallyAutistic #ActuallyADHD and #AUDHD double-winners, I’m curious if you too have felt you had to “make yourself smaller”?
For me it was a survival mechanism…much like masking and passing. And just as damaging.
That’s what drove me to write this essay. I want more of us #neurodivergent people to take up space. To be who we are fully. Not who makes others comfortable.
We need more neurodivergent joy and safety in this world.
Hi. I'm TOO MUCH.
I've spent a lifetime making myself smaller for everyone.
Making myself the version of me that was most useful and comfortable for everyone around me.
And I *HAVE* to stop before I disappear.
I wrote about learning to TAKE UP SPACE: https://fromemily.com/space-taking-defiance/
Maybe you've made yourself smaller too? Let's TAKE UP SPACE together.
