they're two different ways of spelling the same word and mean the same thing. though, dissociate is the more common (and certainly is in medical terminology). but, you might see disassociate used in a more literal sense--as the antonym to associate rather than the medical term--especially if it's spoken.

dont yall mean dissociation and not disassociation? im confused, i have never heard of disassociation before

Damn. I don't know why I spelt it that way.

You are correct. I will go edit that post.

being autistic is fun because while i think of myself as a casual classic rock fan, i could identify a good handful of bands simply from the tone of their electric guitars

"You walk weird sometimes, i guess it's cause you're autistic"

Yeah no I think it's because I have flat feet and it fucks with my hips but I appreciate the enthusiasm!

It's like my adhd traits are switches in my brain and my meds just flip on the off switches on, and all the on switches off

I'm still managing adhd it's just a different flavour of adhd that's better at different things

Wild how my meds are good for getting me to fit into neurotypical schedules/expectations and no meds + adhd strategies are better for just about everything else

Legit I'm sometimes like "eugh the house is so messy, I need to take a break from my meds sometime soon." Because I'll clean up all the little random shit, instead of having the ability to "ignore" all the little messes and focus on something else.

Also, as someone who suffers from decision fatigue, sometimes it's easier to do shit when I'm off my meds because I'm more 'impulsive and easily distracted' so I'm like "I mean I might as well🤷🏼‍♀️" rather than agonising over prioritising my tasks properly and focusing on 'not getting distracted'

Many different kinds of people do this for different reasons! It's very normal to stim and revert to comfort items after a long, tiring day. It's why the day was exhausting for you, how exhausted it made you, and what you need to do to 'fix it' that indicates the larger reason behind it all :)

for example here: socialising is exhausting for me because of masking: being hyper-vigillant to read social cues, making uncomfortable eye contact and just in general being overly aware of myself for a long period of time. also, the sensory overload from people talking at once, lights, uncomfortable clothes, etc.

as opposed to someone who might be exhausted from socializing because of their: social anxiety or agorophobia; disabilities that make it hard to talk for long periods of time; auditory/sensory processing issues; or even a pure neurotypical having to play nice with mean people they can't stand.

Me: I must be faking my autism

Also me: wow what a long day of socialising, I feel like I'm going to die if I don't crawl into bed with my Good Texture blanket and rhythmically rub my feet together while I read about this topic I'm "abnormally" interested in

Shoutout to AuDHD kids who were told to just "be who you are" but then when you were, you got told "no not like that".

Going back to interacting with allistics after solely talking to other autistic people feels like going back to your toxic boyfriend after dating a golden retriever boy

Weird being autistic but very high masking cause I'll be flirting with someone like "oh I should remember this detail from the last time we talked to show that I'm interested in them, but not that other one, cause that one would be weird to remember" and afterwards I'm like "damn, am I neurotypical"
