neurotypicals saying to ADHD people "oh, but I get easily distracted sometimes too" is the equivalent of people without depression saying to people with depression "oh, but I get sad sometimes too"

[somekindofserendipity]

hyperfixations have caused me to fail classes because they were all I could think about.  they’re not just a fun quirky word to throw around

the thing a lot of neurotypicals misunderstand is that hyperfixations aren’t just being interested in something or liking something a lot. it’s thinking about that thing every moment you’re awake, it’s how you get dopamine and a sense of happiness whenever you think about that thing.

and so of course your brain equates thinking about this character or this show or this book with happiness, so it won’t stop thinking about it. if it makes you happy, why not, right? 

except it kind of sucks, at times, when you can’t think about anything else. when you accidentally skip a whole ass exam because you’re too busy thinking about it, or you zone out in the middle of a conversation because one (1) thing reminded you of it.

hyperfixations are great. but they also kind of suck.

This was the funniest hour of my life

[somekindofserendipity]

My dad grew up during the polio epidemic and I think a component of this that a lot of the really cavalier younger ppl who are being like "haha boomers will be killed off" and continuing to party for spring break or whatever are missing (besides like... You ahould care about other people) is that

1. Plenty of healthy younger people are going to be hospitalized even if mostly older people die

2. If you get viral pneumonia that is not going to just go away. That will impact your life forever. Your lung function will be different after you reecover and thats best case. People who have pneumonia bad enough they need to be hospitalized do not return to being Healthies afterwards. You will be chronically ill.

3. Thats not even getting into how many common autoimmune problems are triggered by viral outbreaks.

The consequences will not be the same as polio (paralysis etc) but there will be a lot of new disabled people! There will still be consequences. Even if your demographic is unlikely to die your life could be changed forever PLEASE STOP PARTYING i know very few ppl reading this are actually the ppl being dismissive and cruel about this but Im just very frustrated and had to write something. Diseases like... Change people. Your lungs! Will not! Be the same!!!

Instead of telling disabled kids “you can do anything you want if you put your mind to it,” I think we should tell them, “the things you are capable of doing matter.”

A person can’t live on an increasingly strained hope that someday they’ll be good enough, especially if all you ever do is tell them who they are and what they do now is worthless.

THEY JUST KEEP JUMPING ON THE COUNTER. AND CRAWLING UP HER LEG. THIS IS THE GREATEST PROBLEM YOU COULD EVER HAVE

[somekindofserendipity]

Just because you “function” doesn’t mean you don’t deserve help.

[somekindofserendipity]

you deserve to be loved & talked nicely to
