THIS
My doctor and therapist: now with this autism + ADHD diagnosis you need to learn to unmask because masking all the time will make you burn out again and feel like shit
Other people: well it's just interesting how after getting the diagnosis you suddenly start behaving like that I mean I'm not saying you're faking it's just funny how you suddenly cannot be normal like you were before

[ID: screenshotted post of @/scretladyspider that reads, "recently read "if you were lazy you'd be having fun" and it has completely shifted my perspective on my own executive dysfuntion and ADHD" end ID].
well. it's helpful take for a lot of people, but i wanna highlight another thing.
having fun ≠ bad. having fun ≠ faking your disability/inability to do something.
executive dysfunction is a very broad category, but if i remember correctly it includes things like emotional regulation, attention switching, ability to transition between tasks, etc.
some disabilities (or reactions on previous experiences) may literally make you unable to do things that don't bring you fun. due to executive dysfunction or other symptoms.
for example, restrictive interests and thinking in autism may make one unable to focus on some tasks. because they just can't put their attention from something they're interested in into something extremely boring and/or confusing. or pda that may make doing tasks emotionally painful because of their demanding nature, while doing something for fun doesn't feel demanding. or other symptoms (and it is applicable to any neurodivergence, i use autism as example because it's something i deal with and that came on my mind first).
also! with any kind of disability that makes one struggle with task, it's easy to develop hatred to the task. because it's taxing, it gives less reward than takes energy, and doing it feels like suffering. it's very understandable to hate suffering and prefer fun activities to suffering.
people don't have to feel miserable to get support needs met. people don't have to feel shame, anxiety, or other bad feelings to "prove" they really need this support and really struggle. people who struggle still deserve have fun and be happy. people with support needs deserve spend time on fun activities or just chilling and don't feel bad about their support needs.
i know this culture "too sick to school/work -> too sick to have fun," but it is false and unfair. people shouldn't be punished and deprived from fun because of their support needs/sickness. when i say that people with support needs deserve being happy, i mean it too. we deserve have fun when our needs get met by someone. we don't have to sit there and apologize and feel shame for not doing it ourselves.
and completely abled people are also allowed to get support with things they despise doing! for example, when they live with something and sharing chores, they may ask other person to do this chore and take something else in exchange. or not take, if the other person is ok with doing extra chore.
having fun doesn't mean you don't need support or don't actually struggle with task.

The most terrifying part of having memory issues is when you can feel something from 5 seconds ago be thrown out the window and there's an empty hole where it once was. You remember that you forgot something.

Can we stop using "still lives with their parents" or "unemployed" or "doesn't have a drivers license" or "didn't graduate high school" as an insult or evidence that someone is a bad person? Struggling with independence or meeting milestones is not a moral failing.

This has always been important to understand, but now more than ever: if you are applying for PIP, your assessor is NOT your friend. No matter how nice they are, no matter whether they say they have your best interests in mind, they are not your friend or ally. They aren't going into this with the goal of getting you the support you need, it's their JOB to deny you if they can. Your goal here isn't to convince them, it's to make sure that there is no way they can deny you without it showing up in call records (and preferably written evidence) that they are lying if you take it to court.

It seems like I'm far from the only person who experiences an increase in psychotic symptoms during the summer time.
So if you follow because you have a loved one who is schizospec/psychotic, maybe take the time to reach out and see how they are doing more often this summer.
