"Charge what you're worth."
What the hell does that even mean?

Your worth is infinite. Your worth is unique. Your worth is not calculable. 1/3

Folks, it’s a goddamned miracle; I’m fully cured. Colleague at work declared that I “don’t look like I have autism” and “don’t really act depressed”. Will wonders ever cease! Turns out all I needed to do to escape these issues is to just have someone tell me to not think about it! 🫠

Funnily enough, he was quick to change the subject when I asked what he thought this hypothetical person would look like. Maybe it’s all a myth, and people don’t exist at all?

A Compassionate Understanding of PTSD with AuDHD: It is my humble wish that, by explaining things from the perspective of a person living with both PTSD and AuDHD, what I write may help others gain a new perspective, prevent misunderstandings, and offer encouragement to those who need it most.

For anyone wondering why a late diagnosis of #autism, #adhd or #AuDHD is helpful, here’s a conversation I had with myself that I wouldn’t have been able to have years earlier.

👩🏻‍💻Breathing is hard. Why am I panicking?
🧠 Is this a panic or anxiety attack?
👩🏻‍💻Random anxiety attack.
🧠 Is it because of work? Let’s close the laptop just in case.
👩🏻 Okay. *30 minutes later* I feel worse
🧠 Do we need a distraction? A walk or bike ride?
👩🏻 NopeNopeNope no thank you… that was an intense knee jerk reaction
🧠 Okay we are overstimulated. Let’s lie down with Molly🐶 and hug some soft shit.
👩🏻 OMG yes please.
🧠 *1 hour later* Should we make dinner?
👩🏻 No. No kitchen. No cooking. I feel jittery and if I mess up even slightly I will cry. I’m so confused.
🧠 Quick, if you could eat anything for dinner right now, what would it be
👩🏻 Chicken tenders or a meatball sub.
🧠 aka soft warm comfort foods… this is a ‘tism issue. Let’s troubleshoot from there.

Once I knew the problem I could find the solution. Yay.

Understanding yourself and knowing what you want can lead to a dating profile that is more of an essay or even a novel. While I do have a draft of such an essay on my phone, this is not how I want to do it. Words can easily be misunderstood and there’s a lot of nuance to most topics. Getting to know a person takes time and I prefer to do that in the form of a dialogue.

So, if my Mastodon profile and the content I posted seem appealing to you, feel free to send me a dm (@me) and find out if we are a good match for a friendship or relationship online or IRL. You don’t have to agree on everything, I like to be challenged and explore new perspectives.

Boosts are welcome, it’s not easy to find your people as an AuDHD person.

I am done trying to make music in a specific genre

(Because my #AuDHD makes the necessary research boooooring 😅)

"Why don't you create video essays instead of just writing?" I don't talk verbally, Barbara. That's why. I mean, I do. But my mind is rushing to finish what my mouth is trying to convey. So I often stutter, and people love cutting me off mid-sentence.

First published on Medium. This one wasn't planned; it was so personal. I mean, the title has "memoir" in it, ffs lol. I wrote this to process a heavy realisation about my own relationship with my then-fiancé. The first and only non-platonic relationship I ever had as a grown autistic adult.

I was basically preparing myself mentally to break off our engagement at this point. Looking back, I think it's safe to say that if I begin to wax poetic about grief or equally morbid, heavy subjects on my social media, please check on me, because it means I'm deeply unwell lmao.
