Opal the Brain is on Semihiatus

The mascot of the upcoming educational #GraphicNovel series about #neurodiversity, written & illustrated by @MikaelaHobart! 🧠✨

“Different” ≠ “Defective”

[Opal the Brain is on Semihiatus @Neuromenagerie]

Dear Parents,

Please, PLEASE remember that saying “I hate #ADHD/#autism/#dyslexia/etc. & I wish there was a cure” in front of your #neurodiverse child is the same as saying “I hate YOU & wish to ERASE YOUR ENTIRE MIND & PUT SOMEONE ELSE IN YOUR BODY.”

Sincerely,
- Adult NDs

9 signs you might be autistic

1. You have a hard time finding people you connect with in a deep and meaningful way. You've struggled to make friends because of this.

2. You have a really hard time with unspoken rules or rules that don't make sense to you.

[Nicole Filippone, Autistic Advocate & Author @sensorystories_]

3. You feel misunderstood a lot of the time when you're talking to others.

4. You find social events extremely overwhelming and/or draining.

5. You have intense interests and have a really hard time not talking about them. This has had a negative impact on your relationships.

[Nicole Filippone, Autistic Advocate & Author @sensorystories_]

6. You are extremely sensitive to sensory inputs and experience sensory overload on a regular basis. Or alternatively, you find yourself undersensitive to sensory inputs and feel the need to seek out more of the inputs you're not getting enough of.

(Sensory under-sensitivity is actually a relatively common presentation of sensory differences, but I dont see it talked about much... or at all, really.)
