Hannibal seems to take Will's obvious autism into account when deciding that he isn't rude. This leads me to believe that Hannibal understands and accepts neurodivergence, given his actions and background in psychology. This is why I believe that Hannibal would be a supportive and good father figure for me, and in this essay I will-

“i would die for you”, “i would kill for you”, “i would live for you”, blah blah blah what EVER. overdone, overrated, overblown. But — would you sit down and honestly confront your deepest fears and flaws in an effort to gain a higher understanding of your inner workings so that they can function better with your partner’s — and Then use that as a basis to map out concrete methods for strong and effective communication for the sake of managing and avoiding stress and conflict ??? bc THAT shits hot 🥵🥴

This is probably super niche but fuck it, this is gonna be a long one so buckle up lmao. Have y’all ever had someone in your life claim that they are something that you are, just so they can excuse themselves?

I am autistic, and have some other autistic family members. But I have someone in my life that claims to also be autistic while also getting angry (full on screaming and punishing) whenever I or someone else shows traits of being autistic. But then will turn around and cry/complain about how awful it is for them and how they need all these accommodations (when they throw an entire temper tantrum if they have to be accommodating towards me or the other autistic people in my life).

I am the type of autistic person that is EXTREMELY GOOD at pattern recognition. So much so I have diagnosed myself accurately with every psychological/physical ailment that I have been diagnosed with long before any professional looked at me. And because of this I feel like this person in particular is not autistic, they don’t really “fit” in the spectrum. But the problem is idk if I am just being an asshole about it or not.

Obviously I don’t want to gate keep or anything. Ive had my fair share of people not understanding/believing what I go through. However, it still feels wrong that this person is parading as an autistic person when they absolutely REFUSE to recognize any autistic traits in those around them. Actively punishing and berating everyone that shows any signs of neurodivergence, then turning around and complaining that they are just “too neurodivergent” to deal with anything.

Has this happened to anyone else? Am I just being an asshole about it?

Pro tip:

On days you have a low appetite, just eat whatever your brain registers as edible. It doesn’t matter if it’s grape Jello or carrot sticks or unseasoned white rice or chicken nuggets. You need to eat, so at least try to eat. And if you feel bad about what you’re eating, just treat yourself like an exasperated parent treats a toddler who’s going through a picky eating phase and when you eat a few bites from your meal of plain buttered noodles, chocolate chips, and cranberry juice just think to yourself: “hey, at least I’m eating”

Also, I’ve found that eating little snacks every hour or two while consistently distracting yourself from the fact you’re eating is much more effective at getting calories in my body than sitting down for a full meal

I really hope this doesn't sound offensive, but I headcannon dabi as a person with dissociative identity disorder. I know he's just a traumatized and insane person, but I can't help but think that it would be so freaking cool It is and would also give another layer of depth to the character

Again, that's just my opinion, I'm sorry if it sounded offensive and I'm open to debating this headcannon

If anyone has anything to add I'd love to talk about it, and I'd also like to know your My Hero headcannon's

question to all the audhd people around

Do you all ever start to get info/watch/read/see anything related to your hiperfocus that your body gets physical pain by it?

Because I do, and I need for it to stop, or to someone help me find a way to control it. I started reading a new book of a thing I'm so incredibly fucking excited about and I felt the urge to release all the tension (probably stimming? I'm still unsure of when to identify) and I had to hit my shoulder to be able to read it. I cannot find much info about this ou how to call it and it's being so so tiring.

Thank you.

TIL these racoons that are kept in the zoo because their genetic difference would make them vulnerable to predators in the wild Literally too cute to live.

[ID: four pics of two unbelievably cute racoons with light gray and white coloring. 1) both, looking off camera in different directions. With their paws together. One has its tongue out. 2) A close up of the soulful baby eyes of one. 3) A portrait with one of them looking past the camera. It looks like it's smiling. 4) both in a hammock looking over the edge at camera.

Autistic struggles when visiting the nail salon

(Add yours in the comments)

Pre-visit:

having to make a phone call to arrange an appointment

actually getting there on time

During visit:

having nothing in common with your servicer, so you just awkwardly spent the whole time in silence

your cuticles bleeding because they file too close to your sensitive skin

the burning sensation the first time your nails enter the UV lamp after gel application

not able to stim or fidget cause your hands are always occupied

Post visit:

that one nail that looks a little asymmetrical than the rest of the nails 🥲

I feel like my neurodivergence defines my experience with gender and sexuality to a great extent. Like my aphantasia and inability to visualize or fantasize in any way I feel is a significant part of why I'm asexual. I feel my experience with adhd and difficulty keeping up relationships cause if I don't see someone for a period of time I just kinda forget them and tend to hyperfocus on stuff and forget people around me plays a large part in defining my aromanticism and also the constant need for stimulation in various ways from it plays a large part in my high libido. I think a combination of aphantasia and autism makes me very gender indifferent and unable to connect with a gender identity informs why I'm agender.

I'm not a quiet person but i always seem that way because of the sheer amount of mental gymnastics i have to go through in order to come up with a Normal reply to every passing conversation I'm in, but if you're in my vicinity on a day i forget to do that (it happens) oh boy are you in for a ride (a 20 min monologue about how parrots are not domesticated and are not ideal pets)

[kaizokuseb]

being adhautistic is like. i need to experience something new or i’ll die. if anything new happens to me, i’ll die. all media i already know is boring, and i absolutely cannot start something new. i’m going to infodump about my interests, but i’m going to follow so many tangents that neither one of us will remember where i started. all my safe foods are boring. every other food is rotten. i need to be constantly stimulated. i need to never hear another sound again.

Meet Fennel (he/him)! He’s a Douglas Alder wolf! And my newest buddy! He’s so soft and very snuggly!

Asking the auDHD side of Tumblr: does anyone have any resources, articles, experiences on what it's like to have both autism and ADHD or how ADHD and autism can mask each other if they're comorbid? You can share your own experiences too, or if you have studies, threads etc, I'd like to read those too.

[frogtify]

audhd bitches do you also remember a hyperfixation/interest you had forgotten about on a random thursday night and start liking/reblogging and spamming shit like crazy??

Shoutout to the less socially skilled asd/adhd people that still feel like a freak alien outcast even in asd/adhd groups and safe spaces where everyone is real weird together and gets along really well.

Shoutout to all of us that feel conflicted about loneliness bc it’s supposed to make you feel sad but instead it’s practically the most comforting thing you’ve ever experienced

Hang in there or something :3
