I have a mild learning disability, but I’m more than a statistic and don’t have to conform to any of your standards.

Let’s celebrate ordinary Autistic people you don’t have to be a savant, be inspirational, complete high school, exceed expectations made by Neurotypicals, celebrate us just surviving the hardships.

ADHD is getting labelled at school as the “lazy” kid and nobody understands how exhausting it can be trying to focus on something you have zero interest in.

[xautisticsunitex]

I think it's an unrecognized practice to allow yourself to outgrow and shed versions of yourself that were more socially successful than who you want or need to be now. Not every new chapter is bigger and bolder and hotter, I think that's a very modern social media "glow up" mindset and doesn't actually have any room for what real transformation looks like. Sometimes we change exactly as we need to and it's not what anyone else was hoping for and that's part of it being important and true.

If you feel lost and are taking your time trying to find your place that’s okay too. 😊

if you had big plans for your life but found your place in something smaller, that’s okay. if you realized your goals were too overwhelming and decided on a less taxing path, that’s okay. if you realized your “passion” wasn’t your thing after all and wound up pursuing something else, that’s okay. and if your old goals didn’t fit but you aren’t sure what to do now, that’s okay too. you’ll figure it out in time.

"Neurodivergence" does in fact not just refer to "autism, ADHD and maybe dyslexia". Neurodivergent is a term meant for literally everyone who has a diagnosis which affects the way their brain works. That's why it was created. To be inclusive. Go ask the person who invented it because they stated this clearly

I am Autistic 🌈

Different not less

not a burden

not puzzle piece

not a mystery

I am me, I’m happy the way I am.

Nobody suffers from Autism, we suffer from the ableism from Autism speaks and the ignorance that is spread. #autismacceptanceweek

You know you’re Autistic when you line up all your skittles and you have to eat them in order of flavour. 🙃

ADHD doesn’t mean

- you have to be the loud/excitable stereotype

- you can’t do well at college

- you can’t make friends

- you deserve to be made of fun

- you have to be a child to have it

Let’s stop the shaming let everyone do things at their own pace, life isn’t a contest.

It’s a spectrum, like snowflakes we’re never exactly the same. 🏳️‍🌈❄️
