Being behind in an area because you had to focus on survival and/or healing is not something to be ashamed of. It’s something to be proud of. That was wise. It was a sacrifice. I hope you feel bold in taking up space as and where you are.
“Hello snips.” It was at this moment my whole childhood has now been complete. Hayden Christensen back as Anakin Skywalker talking to Ahsoka Tano in live action has me in TEARS of absolute joy. Dave Filoni you have done IT🥹🤍 #Ahsoka#AhsokaTano#TanoTuesday
The one thing I dislike about having ADHD is the big step it takes to go from thinking endlessly about doing something to actually doing it like it shouldn’t be that hard
There’s a common misconception that disability accommodations are “special treatment.”
Because of my AuDHD, I work twice as hard to get half as far.
Equity is *not* special treatment.
Having my needs met doesn’t mean anyone else’s needs are threatened.
#ActuallyAutistic
A lot of times, people assume that disabled people have malicious intent cause we behave weirdly in their eyes. But often what they're seeing are traits from our ADHD and/or Autism.
A lot of times people project their insecurities onto us instead of communicating properly.
Having disabilities can make communication harder and make misunderstandings happen more often. Disabilities can explain certain behaviors. It's a reason behind something & not an excuse.
So many people will say they're cool with disabled people but won't accept our differences.
A lot of people are okay with the idea of someone being disabled as long as they don't show symptoms. The second they start showing any symptoms whether mentally or physically. They change up on them and villainize them for something they can't control.
I just saw someone on social media refer to the negative voices in their head as the “shitty committee” and yes I will be using this term from now on in coaching
So, research shows that up to 50% of people with ADHD are also autistic. That means that for every two people with ADHD, it's possible that one is also autistic.
And I feel like this needs to be talked about more...
your #InternationalWomensDay reminder that 80% of autistic women remain undiagnosed at the age of 18.
autistic women deserve to be listened to, taken seriously, understood and validated.
we still have a lot of work to do!
You have to stop offering yourself and the depths of your story to people who haven’t shown you respect. If they don’t have the capacity to see you, they shouldn’t get access to what’s beautifully hidden behind your scars.
