I'm interested to see if this is a thing.
I'm AuDHD and experience such intense empathy that if I see someone else injure themselves, I feel it to.
Like, I only have to think about someone else hurting themselves and it's like I can feel it.
Does this happen to any of you?

AuDHD people are at an increased likelihood of smoking. Despite this, research priorities fail time and again to look into quality of life issues just like this.
Many of us started these behaviours when young as a way of self-medicating our struggle to survive in a world not made for us

If you enjoy the content I create, you should check out my books!
The New Normal looks at neuronormativity in society and how it affects Autistic people.
Unusual Medicine talks about my experiences as an Autistic addict.
Even if you can't check out my books right now, sharing this post really helps me out.

Any other neurodivergent people feel guilty about relaxing?
Whenever I have the opportunity to do nothing, my brain immediately starts inventing things that I should be doing.
It goes further than simply needing stimulation, my own internalised ableism tried to tell me that the only time I have value is when I'm being productive.
Can you relax comfortably?

I'm Autistic and ADHD (AuDHD) and when I am in a safe space, I have a tendency of nesting!

Can you describe the feeling of happiness?
What about sadness? Anger? Excitement?
If the answer is no, you may be one of the many Autistic people who experiences alexithymia.

🤔 Hey Amazon… what’s going on with the Late-Identified #AuDHD: A Starter Workbook’s proof copy. It apparently has been gifted with the ability to teleport. Go to the special place in my profile to find the teleporting workbook. 😂 #audhder #actuallyautistic #autism #autistic #latediagnosedautistic #neurodivergent #adhd #adhdawareness #autismawareness #autismawarenessmonth @bookstodon

changing my #introduction a bit!
I'm WebFeline, an AuDHDer (autistic+ADHD) with BPD.
I draw, sometimes maybe play games when I have enough time. Mostly playing Minecraft.
I'm a xenogender catkin (xenogender - a gender described through animals, plants etc. not bound to concepts of masc/fem binary; catkin - one who's identifying WITH cat species - a subset of otherkin)
I prefer direct interaction over group activities. I have terrible social skills.
If I don't know you well enough use tone tags when talking to me. Please.
I do NOT follow back everyone. I will follow you if your content interests me. I hold my right to not answer questions I deem uncomfortable or to block you if I feel your behaviors are nasty.
I also may block/mute if you post a lot about politics.
Not a native English speaker, not an USian either: don't hold me to your amerimutt standards.

Now that I changed my username, and there is a new wave of newcomers on fedi, an #introduction
I'm WebFeline, an AuDHDer (autistic+ADHD) with BPD. I'm working on my website (slowly), I'm a fan of early/mid 2000s stuff. I'm currently writing this on my Windows XP-based netbook!
I draw, sometimes maybe play games when I have enough time. Mostly playing Minecraft.
I'm a xenogender catkith (xenogender - a gender described through animals, plants etc. not bound to concepts of masc/fem binary; catkith - one who's identifying WITH non-human species, as opposed to identifying AS them, which is otherkin - i'm that too!)

Why is it that I relate more personally to ADHDers' stories & struggles, but find discourse in Autistic-led spaces so much more meaningful/engaging with regard to issues of #neurodiversity & #disability that seem important to me?
Mostly rhetorical, but happy to hear if any others have relevant thoughts/experiences.

I've seen a few other new Mastodonians posting with a bunch of hashtags in order to find their people, which I thought was a cool idea so I figured I'd give that another whirl :ablobwobble:
