people call it burnout like it’s a bad week..
fuck no girl, I mean neurodivergent burnout.
the “can’t make a phone call, questioning who you are, tiredness that a years worth of sleep can’t cure, executive dysfunction holding me in a chokehold” kind.. and I masked through it all for YEARS..
AUTISTIC TRAITS THAT AREN'T TALKED ABOUT AS MUCH
OVER EXPLAINING, FINDING IT HARD TO LIE, INSOMNIA, REWATCH THE SAME SHOW/ MULTIPLE TIMES, DISLIKE BEING PERCEIVED BY OTHERS, A STRONG SENSE OF JUSTICE.
One reason why a lot of autistic people may find it hard to set boundaries is that, from a young age, we are encouraged to ignore our unique needs to please others and fit in with the crowd. Most of us have had to sacrifice a lot to earn an education, career and place in society.
A neurodivergent person with a 1pm appointment cannot do anything before the appointment. cannot start a task. cannot eat. cannot focus. cannot relax. the entire morning belongs to the 1pm. and we will still be 4 minutes late.
Imagine walking into Slutty Vegan with your elderly mama & Aunties & the cashiers are screaming at you on a 100 “There’s some sluts in the buildinggggggggg” 😂😂😂😂 #RHOA
