@tmink128 @SNeurotypicals I have never heard that before, I would be so confused 😭

[Raisin @maybeitsadhd]

@a_safety_geek hahahaha it did go well, I just needed to have my face 5 inches from the screen at all times

ADHD consequences: I had been putting off figuring out how to replace my monthly contact lenses, and they broke this morning, about 20 minutes before a midterm exam 😐

@AdhdThis that's where I've been getting my glasses for the last several years! The reason why I have to wear day contacts right now is,,, complicated,, but it's only for about another month and then I can get a glasses prescription!

[Raisin @maybeitsadhd]

Welcome to my ADHD Saturday: lie on couch for hours because I wanted to shower so I didn't put in my contacts but then I couldn't do anything because I couldn't see, finally shower, lie in bed for hours because I need to get dressed,,

@Asperbean I KNOW!! I want to apply to work for the center of accessibility at uni but obviously I cannot do all of the tasks! This is exactly what I fear might happen!

[The Irritated Autie⁷ 💙 @AutieAdorableMC]

I'll never understand the "suffering" excuse allistics use for trying to cure Autism.

Life is suffering. People suffer when they go through a romantic breakup, when a pet or human dies, when you stub your toe, when you feel hungry. Should we pathologize and cure these things?

[Derek Featherstone @feather]

The best time to get started on accessibility for your project is before it started.

The second best time is now.

My first driving lesson
Me: Squirrel!
Instructor: Eyes on the road please
Me: The squirrel is ON THE ROAD

food changing temperature while you eat it should be illegal

@ndpoet Be careful when these start getting ripe cause there's a ton of black bears around here and they love fruit trees!

[Raisin @maybeitsadhd]

today on ADHD: I've had a gift card and my new drivers license sitting on my desk for weeks, decided to finally put them in my wallet, 10 minutes later there are cards all over my desk and my wallet is nowhere to be seen??

[Raisin @maybeitsadhd]

finally threw away that shriveled half a cucumber that's been on my desk for weeks

[Raisin @maybeitsadhd]

I'm at the vet with my dog and we're both anxious we're here in the first place and then I'm anxious cause he's anxious and then he's anxious cause I'm anxious and it's just a feedback loop of anxiety going into infinity

I noticed an elephant rocking at the zoo and said “look, they’re stimming. That elephant must be autistic”

My friend said “No, they do that because they’re in captivity and bored / stressed by the environment. They’re out of their natural habitat”

Umm, why do you think I do it?

[Raisin @maybeitsadhd]

@a_safety_geek Your daughter has great judgement

[Raisin @maybeitsadhd]
