the most helpful thing i have ever seen from neurodivergent internet spaces is “THERE ARE OTHER TIMES OF DAY TO BRUSH YOUR TEETH”. this has genuinely saved me from executive dysfunction spirals so many times.

Everyone always talks about adhd and 100+ tabs in a browser, but no one talks about all the saved posts on tumblr we save for future reference that we never look at either

let’s talk about the early stages of hyperfixation where you can literally feel your brain getting doses of serotonin because of a show or a movie or a person or a character and mentally you’re like ‘ooooh no’ but it’s like a blackhole you can’t run or escape from so you just gotta ride it out knowing full well the next few months maybe even years are going to be spent mindlessly obsessing over this thing

May Your Hands Always Be Loud

I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was 5 years old— subsequently I was forced to take various high levels of stimulants, be in special ed classes, taught to have “quiet hands”, bullied for being weird, and over and over was still unable to keep up with neurotypical peers. It was suffocating.

I remember my senior year of high school, I was in alternative education. It was the one and only year I got honors, didn’t fail any classes, and it was the only year I got the accommodations I needed: being able to stim freely in class, listen to music whenever I needed to, arrive late/leave early, able to do homework in class, and whenever I struggled, my teachers checked on me.

Such simple accommodations changed my life. And it wasn’t until after 12 years of continuously failing classes, punished for being the way I am, years lost to being grounded for never being able to have good grades, so much more. I internalized that I was the problem. But I never was. It was the inaccessible world around me.

Let neurodivergent people, children especially, exist as they are. They are beautiful just as they are. May your hands always be loud.

I passive aggressively emailed my professor to make him stop ignoring my adjustment plan and then used the phrase "as a disabled student" to make him shit himself into doing it

Just ADHD/ ASD things Pt.2, since the first one was apparently popular

I forgot what I was saying while I was saying it

This project does not exist until 5 minutes before it's supposed to be turned in.

My Thoughts Are Loud

I don't hate you, my brain just decided you're boring.

Lost in the black hole of google searches

I know random really weird facts but can't remember your name

I'm not instantly perfect and therefore am a failure

My brain "Followed the dopamine" and now I literally have 12 unfinished things

I apparently can only remember a 5 second part of an entire 3 minute song

Intrusive thoughts, or, My Brain is an Edgelord

I still can't remember your name

I didn't mean to slam the door I just forgot how to move

Brain no make words

Brain make too many words and they're all smashed together

Brain make the right words in the wrong order

I forgot this specific word and will remember it an hour later and yell it out loud.

Constantly tripping, knocking things over, running into things, etc

Huh, what was that? (Brain catches up and I immediately respond)

Oh look, now we're depressed

Those lights are too loud

If I don't immediately know where I'm going I'm lost

I didn't interrupt you because I'm rude, I just need to speak before I forget what I wanted to say
