ADHD & Autism dream life:
- a partner who really gets you
- a home designed for sensory peace
- routines designed for low-energy days
- low noise and low chaos
- silence that feels safe, not lonely
- dogs & cats
- a library
- friends who don’t take your quiet personally
I found out recently that it’s a neurodivergent trauma response to believe if people understood the impact of their actions they’d change their behaviour and it explains a lot.
Check on your people and DO for your people. you calling to check on someone just to make sure they’re not dead is not helpful. support them meaningfully and with action.
