As a #nuerodivergent there is no feeling better than rubbing my feet together on a soft fluffy blanket .
Absolute bliss :blobcatmelt: :blobcatmelt: :blobcatmelt:
Son had a great time attending a schoolmate’s birthday party yesterday. Beautiful location. All the ( #nuerodivergent ) kids did great together, even when challenges arose. But as with sone #Autistic people, we’re both experiencing drop today. It makes it a little easier when you plan for it but it still happens. #ActuallyAutistc #overload

let's get one thing right, I'm not an Erotic sex-machine. I'm a neurotic sex-machine XD. #nuerodivergent
@teruterubozu says daughter is not #nuerodivergent, she's #nuerospicy
Spread the word.
Good afternoon my #nuerodivergent #vtuber turtleducks ~
Last night I took photos of my flock for record keeping purposes, but here are some of my sweet, colorful birds~

Wow that stare...like that thing is about to fly off the screen and have a go at ya...
#CW #eyecontact #nuerodivergent #actuallyautistic folks have a point really it is pretty normal to have some constraints on staring...

This is a very revealing thread about eye contact, #autism as per the self-identified community and why #contentwarnings are entirely proper when E.C. is part of a post.
Hence, I am making this reply "public" rather than "unlisted", because imho these points summarize what has been revealed, as I understand it
What strikes me is that a lot of the things that self-identified #ActuallyAutistic people have said about #eyecontact is quite perceptive and seemingly applicable to so-called "normals".
I speculate that these sensitivities about eye contact actually are "normal" and that the distinciton with #nuerodivergent folks, to the extent they "diverge" is that they are just somewhat more sensitive to the invasiveness which is characteristic of eye contact.
Backing this up in my own experience w #dogtraining there is something called "thewolf stare" which is considered to be a prelude to potential aggression.
I think that "normal" people are simply in the habit of eye contact which is (1) brief and
(2) occasional.
Another proof is that it is considered socially unacceptable to stare.
In some sense, then, the #autists are right and the "normies" are violative if they impose an expectation of an eye contact regime which makes others uncomfortable.

YouTube auto-played an 8D version of Pentatonix's cover of "Hallelujah". I started sobbing. Havven't stopped for 20minutes. I don't know if it's the weird thing that happens to #nuerodivergent brains when listening to music or if it's #grief, but I'm scared to put makeup on because I'll probably cry it off. #ADHD
Hey! #adhd #ADHDers #nuerodivergent peers, did you notice your symptoms* get worse after getting COVID?
*The "non-desirable" traits associated with adhd
#adhd #adhders #nuerodivergent
@NeilEvansRocks seeing this as well here... Not sure if you had started hearing the rumors among the #nuerodivergent that post COVID our symptoms are increased. No peer reviewed sources I've found yet, but I keep hearing self accounts on Reddit regarding it...
I’m looking for adhd folks who work in data science 📊🐿️
It’s a job that can involve a lot of prioritization, context switch, juggling tasks, potentially lots of ad hoc questions, and that can add up to executive function overload!
It also can be a super interesting job where you are always learning new things and can be creative.
I’m curious how other #adhd #datascience people find the right balance for them?
@ADHD can you give a boost for reach? Thanks!

Lots of folks on Mastodon identify as #nuerodivergent. Forbes is not really the definitive source of information but as the self-consciousness of the ruling class it tends to try to thoroughly present bourgeois analysis. With that caveat, here is how they explain it.
I am 100% open to critique.

People who have never been poor underestimate the effect #poverty has on a person's ability to #dream. Those who overcome the #barriers of poverty are truly extraordinary. The same goes for the effects of being queer, #BIPOC, an immigrant, #disabled, #nuerodivergent or any other marginalized group of people. Dreaming requires #courage.

@TheBird After listening to Jonathan on the podcast the other day, I agree with everything he says but am puzzled as to why no mention of #LGBT in this long thread.
OK but when this is framed solely in terms of BIPOC then it perpetuates exclusion of #LGBTQIA #peoplewithdisabilities #AAPI #nuerodivergent and doesn't firewall against any form of #blacknationalism which though not really a problem here, at all, at this time, occasionally does interfere with a #unitedfrontagainstfascism.
I understand that #resistance against #fascism is not a sufficient remedy for the #oppression #BIPOC contend with, but to the extent that others (not Jonathan) overtly discourage "yts" from dialogue we create a centrifugal force of exclusionary identity politics.
White people who express solidarity with #POC are bombarded by hateful DMs. To then be told by some leaders of indigenous conversation on Mastodon to stay out of moderation discussions, don't offer suggestions is a bit put offish.
At least Jonathan is engaging in broad dialogue and not an insular "POC-only" silo, so that is cool.

12yo was up at 5am watching deep sea videos, and we talked about how nature loves patterns. We're all connected, the treetops, the path of water off a mountain, a basket star hidden in the dark of the ocean, a single nueron cell thinking about itself in my brain.

My kiddos are nuerodivergent, and we opted to do a "just us" Thanksgiving. So far we've played with dogs, watched comfort shows, ate comfort foods, and had quiet alone time as needed. I'm sure we'll do the big chaotic family thing again, but for this year, I am thankful for the low stress day!

One thing that really helps me focus and be productive while having #ADHD is body doubling which is essentially working along side someone else at the same time. You don’t even have to be doing the same thing or even in the same room or even speaking to one another. You can Zoom with a friend for a period of time or use Flow Club which I use myself and highly recommend.
Oh! And be kind to yourself!

CW Question for the #nuerodivergent #asm community. About eye contact. #tips.
I appreciate all the thought that people here put into CW and want to be aligned.
How do you feel about avatars such as mine? Should I choose another?
So #followfriday is a thing...
I'll give it a shot! :artpeek:
