And then I noticed my bangs needed a trim, so I sorted out clothes that needed to be donated, but remembered to write a thank-you card, then started practicing Samba, so I had to fix a broken bracelet clasp, because my cat hadn't been fed yet, so that's why I'm looking at old photo albums, while scones are in the oven...

    You mask really well: "You don't seem autistic." You DON'T mask really well: "Why can't you just act like a 'normal person'?" ( Are you by any chance familiar with the work of Joseph Heller? )

Oh, then he'll ask you which is more (fill in the blank) and give you the names of two things you've never heard of. You must comply.

    I think the problem with common sense is that we all have our understanding of what is, and what isn't common. But we don't seem to be able to recognize that our experiences are not everyone's experiences, and so we think others lack common sense, when what we really mean is that they lack OUR understanding of the world.

    Neurodivergence may clash with social norms in several ways. According to therapist and anxiety specialist Danielle Wayne, such rules may feel “prescriptive, arbitrary, and pointless.” 

    In an article for her website, Millennial Therapy, Wayne used working a typical 9-to-5 day as an example. She mentioned some typical questions a neurodivergent individual may ask, like, “Why do workdays have to take up our entire lives?” or “Why is lunch so short?”

    This is executive dysfunction. It’s not lazyness; you can have it happen on fun things or things you genuinely want to do too, like reading books, using a console over your phone, drawing, et cetera. It’s basically your brain seeing tasks as touching a hot stove.

    Same! It’s crazy how we can read without absorbing anything and at the same time thinking about something completely different. Like our brain goes through the motions of reading anyways. I play the piano, and sometimes, once I have a song perfectly memorized, I’ll play it and completely zone out. When I snap out of my thoughts, I’ll find myself halfway through the song without actively thinking about playing the song!

    you are so not alone on that one. I do this so much of the time, I routinely have to wonder what I missed and sometime I just refuse to go back and read why Maddy was so upset at Roger. I'm just like, dang, she's crying so it must have been something stupid Roger said, and it's good enough for me to continue like I didn't just miss the major plot twist that will allow me to comprehend the rest of the book. Then, I end up re-reading it later thinking I've never read this book because I caught the plot twist this time and now it reads like an entirely different story.

    Wayne, who was diagnosed with ADHD in adulthood, says a neurodivergent person may be considered “weird” for breaking up their workday into one or two three-hour chunks. 

    “Even if you feel happier and more productive with this type of schedule, your workplace likely won’t allow it,” she wrote.

    You'd be incorrect. I have worked in many a psychiatric unit and the food was of good quality, generally came on time, and we had lots of recreational activities and materials. On a good day (and there were many) you wouldn't be able to tell it from a "normal" environment except for the lack of cigarettes and alcohol. We also provided off-campus activities for people who could handle it - fairs, restaurants, shopping, etc.

    Anxiety is normal. The fact that you cant cope with it is the problem.

    There are many different types of neurodivergence, and explaining each one would warrant a separate article. But among those that people commonly know are ADHD, dyslexia, autism, Tourette’s, and Down syndrome.

    Other types include synesthesia (ex, “tasting” music), dyspraxia (a coordination-based disorder, such as difficulties using a utensil), and dyscalculia (having problems with basic arithmetic and counting).

    Neurodivergent people face numerous challenges in life. According to New York-based licensed clinical psychologist Dr. Amy Marschall, one way this happens is when others tell them that their needs are “wrong or invalid.” This results in difficulty setting boundaries or feeling like their boundaries are valid.

    I'm genuinely sorry for your degenerative condition and it's impact on your life, and equally mortified by people's tendency to try to problem-solve your life. It's hurtful and implies you're not doing (or have not done) everything you can possibly imagine to change outcomes. Even when someone means well, we far too often are trying to make ourselves feel better than thinking of how it feels and sounds to you.

Every time you tick off another item completed, you get this lovely satisfying sound effect and your character gets more points you can spend on accessories and such.

    Not justifying the reaction but the harm that's caused is usually anxiety and the other person feeling bad about themselves. If someone is stressing about their appearance. And every time they see you, they are told they look terrible, this makes their social anxiety, anorexia and depression harder to handle. If everything is always a crisis with someone, it is exhausting tonbr around them, never enjoyable. You just put out fires all the time and end up walking on eggshells when there's a moments peace. This causes anxiety. When someone won't let you speak and talks over you ,or doesn't listen, it makes it more difficult to keep up self esteem and feel worthy of their time it makes you feel terrible about what you are saying and taking up space. When people don't either make eye contact or say your name, you don't know when you're expected to respond so you can take your focus off the other person. It's not fair to make others feel inadequate when you're on either side of the equat.

    I've had that discussion with someone. They complained about how I am now and said that I "Used to be so sweet and easy-going", and I told them that no, I was deeply depressed and terrified of speaking up for myself. I only seemed "sweet" because I was a people-pleaser regardless of the cost to myself, and I only seemed "easy-going" because I was terrified of the consequences of rocking the boat. I asked if they felt my constant misery and likely death would have been worth that. Just because people grow comfortable with the way we mask isn't a good reason to keep doing it. ❤️

    The same accusation could be thrown at "neurotypical" people. You're just justifying your behavior and refusing to conform to things that make people feel connected to you. Funny how one part of the population feels comfortable dictating how everyone must act, but when another part speaks up it's suddenly chaos and insecurity. Grow up and try a little something called self-awareness.

    I keep noticing new things I don't like to touch (to the point where, yes, I just wanna cut off my hands all the way to the elbows). Yesterday it was sausages. Basically it's anything that makes my skin go from one "condition" to another: dry-wet, clean-dirty, smooth-sticky.... and of course vice versa. 😬 I wonder if that will ever be better? I mean, when I have a diagnosis and I may get medication? Will it calm down the touchy issues? Or will I just have to explore new things that makes me want to throw up just by touching it? (I honestly want to know).

    i wasn't diagnosed until I as 70. In everybody's eyes I did 'well' for myself. No one understood the loneliness of not fitting in, of knowing you thought differently from everyone else and thought there was something wrong with me. Although I wouldn't wish ADHD on anyone else, knowing I'm not alone is so comforting.

I wash by the sink daily, so I don't smell bad, but actually taking a shower and washing my hair? Ugh... it's a struggle. Also, after the shower, I hate hate HATE wet and cold hair on my dry skin. And blowdrying my hair is just not an option because it makes my hair feel awful. So everytime I overcome the issue of taking a shower I also have to deal with letting my hair dry afterwards.

    I think I have a problem. I now have ~65 pots with plants in them, and several pots awaiting the next broken off succulent that I find (and I just ordered some more pots). We have a large (for downtown) outdoor patio open to the sky on the top floor and a large balcony, so there's plenty of room NOW, but if we have to downsize when my wife retires, I'm in trouble...

    That’s like saying is being shortsighted the new normal once there are more shortsighted people than not. Technically yes, but you still need glasses and would be objectively better off not needing them. The stigma is removed and good glasses are more easily available, but it's still an impairment.
