As a neurodivergent person, your dream life is surprisingly simple.
Not luxury.
Not hustle.
Not optimization.
Just: • enough income to breathe
• enough energy to enjoy being alive
• people who understand your weirdness
• a home that feels safe
• a brain that isn't constantly at war with itself
That's the dream.

Been overpaying for daycare for like 6 months- thankfully they've refunded us!! 🎉🎉

[Bri @estrellabrillan]

I can't even listen to Danny Go's Bravest Knight without tearing up 😭 how did we get into these para social relationships with these people 💔

[Bri @estrellabrillan]

My favorite hobby is shopping for my son. Yes, he definitely needs 3 Monster Jam shirts even though I also need clothes for work 😭🤣

@FearedBuck RIP, in the bossom of the most high

“Why do you continue to work when you could be a stay at home mom/wife?”

Because when my mom met my dad, she quit nursing school.

My dad, then relentlessly cheated on her and she had to start at square one. No degree. Small apartment. A daycare job.

She started over in her 40’s. She now works a great job, paid off her very nice house, and just finished building her dream pool. On her own.

God forbid something happens, I want to be independent. I don’t want to start over later in life. I don’t want to rely on a man. My husband is my partner, not my bank account.

My mom taught me to learn from her mistakes and I sure did.

@kpratt1973 I'm watching that now! It's crazy! Her parents clearly let her run wild

i think autistic people are often mistaken for being argumentative and needing to be right, when in reality, it's more about needing the information to be CORRECT... because we get overwhelming anxiety when we're convinced that it isn't.

@be_like_ice Last minute cancelling (unless I also didn't wanna do it) it feels like a broken promise. However I'm queen of cancelling or just not showing up myself 😬

BREAKING: Scientists confirm ADHD brains have a unique form of object permanence.

If I can’t see it, it does not exist. Not metaphorically. Literally.
Out of sight means:

- out of mind
- out of memory
- out of emotional continuity
- possibly never existed at all

Me: “I should call my friend.”
Also me after putting my phone down: “I hope they’re doing well… wherever they are… in the void.”

Then the moment I see the message again:
“OH RIGHT. HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS.”

[Bri @estrellabrillan]

Oh I'm NOT doing well today

[Bri @estrellabrillan]

When you're black, you never have these things according to your parents 🤣 meanwhile I've struggled my entire life

[‏ً @omgsidewalks]

People with autism & ADHD age late. We do things late. Our frontal lobe doesn’t develop until our mid 30s in many cases (as opposed to the neurotypical norm of age 25). We also have baby faces & childlike mannerisms for life while somehow possessing the wisdom of an ancient sage.

[Fav ⛧ @Favwontmiss]

"I work best under pressure" is ADHD code for "i've spent my entire life unable to start things until the consequences are immediate and catastrophic"

[Bri @estrellabrillan]

How bad will it bite me in the ass if I don't do any work today 😭 I miss working retail bc at least it was like I just had a couple things to do, all entirely dictated by someone else. I don't do well with self-direction

[Bri @estrellabrillan]

Saw a post about how they locked non-submissive women in insane asylums. Oh, baby I would've been locked up immediately.

[Bri @estrellabrillan]

Would it have served me better to just work per diem these last few years and be on state insurance 😭 why is life so hard

[Bri @estrellabrillan]

Bruh I have at least one more year of paying for full time daycare 😭 lord help me. This is why I can't have a second chils

[Bri @estrellabrillan]

@danidonovan Texts!! Why?! I am off the era of AIM idk why texts are so daunting

[Bri @estrellabrillan]

I'm such a stickler for kids going to bed early, even though it's always a struggle in my house. Last night at 7PM my sister asked my niece if she needed a nap 😭 if the 4 year old doesn't go to bed!!!! 💀

[Bri @estrellabrillan]

Who is Social Security made for? Every day I talk to people who worked their whole life for a $20k/year benefit, about to lose their homes because they can't pay the taxes. Yeah, I get it, gotta invest in retirement but that's not even enough for some people.
