#AuDHD in real life, personal observation No. 2735.

Having and using a fidget spinner to keep your hands busy and curb restlessness - that's probably your #ADHD.

Obsessively loving that spinner, treating it as a sacred totem and desperately wanting to show everybody you meet all the different ways it can move - that's probably your #Autism.

(pic is of my preferred "owl" spinner type, it goes everywhere I do and I have 3 spare ones in case of emergency)

Really interesting convo about PDA:

"Avoidance is not the only way PDAers respond to demands.
PDAers experience stress responses to any perceived demands.
Those stress responses may be masked or internalized.

(PDA is a genetic neurotype like Autism or ADHD. If you want to learn more you can click on Sally Cat’s page to learn more.)"

Self reflection time.

I’ve had trouble all my life with words recalling the right word and or trying to force the words out of my mouth.

My written stuff is the same words fail to materialise and I hunt around the word to try to find it,

It’s worse when someone directs a question at me, my brain literally freezes, it’s like a process crash.

I just figured out my anxiety over this happening is why I was such a quiet little kid, and why I found it sooo difficult to ask peeps out I liked my brain would (still does) shutdown my recall and speech centres.
I’m not unloveable and weird I’m just loveable, a bit different and weird.

Embrace the weird

I've heard a lot of people say that running a business is a major personal development experience.

That's definitely been true for me. 1/3
