@AdultingADHD My partners love language is internet forms. It takes so much stress away from me.

[Callum Stephen (He/Him) @AutisticCallum_]

I wonder how many autistic children go undiagnosed because their parents are undiagnosed autistics who don’t see anything atypical or out of the ordinary about their child and think everyone experiences what they do but just muddles through?

@HowtoADHD ADHD is what makes me me. I can hyperfocus and power through mountains of work that my NT colleagues can’t comprehend. It was my secret to getting through law school and career successes. I can dig deep and find energy to accomplish massive tasks and rest when they are done.

[Natalie Esposito @Nat_Espo]

@ADHDdesigner You don’t owe the therapist any explanation. Don’t book another appointment if the service isn’t right for you.

@AutisticCallum_ I’ve never heard anyone describe this before but that is exactly me.

[Callum Stephen (He/Him) @AutisticCallum_]

“Autistic people can’t feel empathy”.

Me: *feels the physical, mental and emotional pain of other people, animals and objects deep within my soul, such that I feel like I am experiencing their plight alongside them and wish I could fix everything and take all of our pain away*.

[ADHD Jesse @adhdjesse]

ADHD is like 50% not working, 50% working frantically to make up for the not working part, 50% thinking about the work I should be doing (but not actually working), and 50% not sleeping (but trying to).

[Structured Success @StructuredSucc]

@ItsEmilyKaty I see this as a double-empathy issue. I think that autistic imagination doesn't look the same as neurotypical imagination, so neurotypicals think we can't do it because we aren't doing it "right"

I think autistic imagination is governed more by rules and reality at a younger age

[Callum Stephen (He/Him) @AutisticCallum_]

The autistic pipeline of wondering why you always miss the mark to realising that you don’t even like the mark, and would rather find your own focal point.

[Callum Stephen (He/Him) @AutisticCallum_]

I wish “I’m autistic” could be a valid and convincing explanation for knowing something that others don’t. Most people have little faith in an autist’s expert knowledge, unique powers of deduction and astute logical analysis - even when said autist has a success rate of 99%.

[Callum Stephen (He/Him) @AutisticCallum_]

My autistic literal interpretation means that I tend to see “yes” and “no” responses as sacred, firm and non-negotiable. If someone says they don’t want food, I don’t think to immediately offer it again. If someone offers to help, I expect that they will honour that commitment.

[ADHD Jesse @adhdjesse]

me: I have difficulty with [thing] because of my executive dysfunction.

them: Oh, well have you tried fixing that by [using executive function]?

me: …

I don’t know who needs to hear this but living your life to the fullest does not have to involve hiking

[Natalie Esposito @Nat_Espo]

@empressofcheer A treadmill so I (or my son) can exercise anytime we need to. It helps us through moments of overwhelm and emotional outbursts.

[Natalie Esposito @Nat_Espo]

@StructuredSucc Yes! No problem decluttering, just throw it all away and start over.
