Ran across this image and felt *extremely* called out. I found it in this article:

If you have ADHD or bipolar, or are interested, I highly suggest reading it. It’s not very long and it even taught me a few things and explained quite a few more.

Question for folks with #autistic or #adhd kids: do you get your child involved with social activities specifically for #neurodivegent kids? My 9-year old is struggling with the kind of social isolation I also dealt with, and I’m looking at options.

Today, half way through the day, I realised I hadn't taken me meds this morning. This evening I've self-medicated with vodka and an early night. Good night.

A question to all fellow #neurodifferent folk: if you experience a personality change from an attentive and emphatic person to a completely uncaring one, not filtering any reactions, maybe realizing those are upsetting, but not caring at all… that only lasts an hour.
What is it, what keywords to Google? After it ended it was quite scary. Could it be a part of migraine, or what 🤨

I worked #nightshift in my late teens and twenties. My soul is a night shifter’s soul. Now working days in a hospital to accommodate chronic illness? Special type of hell. It’s #sensoryprocessing hell. My personal #neurodivegent hell.

You ever walk into a place and instantly spot your neurokin?

Waiting for my new bullet journal and planning stickers to get here so I can restart my journaling habit for the new year, but it won't be till February!

Yeah, the movie was great.
I also saw the multiverse as metaphor for all the chaos going on inside Evelyn's own head... Almost as a metaphor for #neurodivegent patterns like #adhd
But I'm sure most of us have felt at some point overwhelmed by Everything Everywhere All At Once
🧵 A friend was mentioning that getting a tattoo was tiring because they had to suppress their instinct to avoid pain.
This was interesting because it helped me realize more concretely that I just don't really have that?

I'm neurodivergent and I decided spend New Year's Eve at home with my partner and cats. I don't have a mood for parties and it can be your reminder: it's okay to stay home. However, I can't stop thinking about fireworks that make me feel anxious and I come up with idea how to solve that problem in my area.
I live in one of the biggest city in my country (over 700 000 people) and there's so many people who enjoy that practice and that make me and some people and pets overwhelmed. What's worst, they started few days ago...
I see only one quite understandable reason to shoot fireworks: traditional and in some ways natural urge to celebrate New Year. Some people can consider it as new start and that can give them some hope and that's okay. I see way to fix problem with fireworks, and give everyone who needs that chance to see some colours on the sky.
In my opinion, we need law changes that wouldn't allow everyone to use fireworks. I think one silent show organised by city governments in some kind of designated place would be enough! That would be opportunity to enjoy that tradition who needs that without stressing others. In my opinion, after few years no one will really miss that noise and way to waste money.
I would like to wish all of you to spend that day however you like, even it is stay in bed and watching Twilight (I love that move and I don't feel guilty about that). Stay safe.

Today was the first time I saw someone say they are #neurotypical in their profile, and I, a #neurodivegent person, think that's pretty cool. I guess this is like what trans people feel when they see cis people list our pronouns.
My wife has spent a few years working on making the perfect diary/planner to manage our lives, especially the therapies and needs of our #neurodivegent kids with #autism. Other self-managed #NDIS participants might find it useful too.

I'm on my fourth day without Concerta.
(I went to five pharmacies in two days, all of which were meant to have it/be open). #neurodivegent
Looking for #adhd fam. I was diagnosed a few months ago and just given a script last week. I am a PhD student trying to navigate how tf I got here. and now I am working to improve the experience with knowing my diagnosis.
Send friendly folks!
Weekend pin backing marathon is underway starting with this AuDHD pin! 🥰

Idk if any other #neurodivegent folk experience this, but even though I find social interaction draining, I thrive on conversations about things that matter to me.
It’s a paradox I can’t explain myself. I’m trying to understand it.
But I love talking to people about mutual interests, about how things and systems work, a special interest, shared experiences.
Oh one more thing. Idk what I’m doing right or different, but I’ve followed WAY more #queer PoC and/or #neurodivegent PoC since I came here compared to all the years I spent on the birdsite.
I’m so incredibly grateful for that.
Too often, mental health and queer activism spaces online can be extremely white and lonely for PoC.
I know we exist and have always existed. I’m so glad I’m finding and connecting with more and more of you. 💜😭
