Neurodivergance

I'm autistic. I don't often talk about it. But it's true. I was diagnosed at age 18 and I kept it hidden from my friends and family because I had a deep sense of shame about it. I'm not sure why. But I did. The fact is, there's nothing to be ashamed of. The way [...]

How do you make sense of these kinds of choices?

I am so tired of people in my life assuming that when I forget stuff, I'm doing it on purpose.

I am not lazy, the thing literally does not exist in my brain if I can't see it!!! I will do whatever it is when I see it again!

@gicrisf that’s really interesting. I don’t have time to read it atm, but am curious what your method was. Also, welcome to the #nerodivergent club. We’re all here to help.

I’m a fellow adult ADHD diagnosee, so I know it’s quite a journey!

Why I relate to #witcher #witcher3 characters.
#geraltofrivia : I feel #emotion intensely/deeply but don't know how to express them.
#regis #emielregis : I feel the need to constantly have a tight control over myself because I fear how people will react, I fear I won't be able to control the other side of me, so I keep it locked away. #anxiety
#dettlaff : I'm willing to do almost anything for even the tiniest bit of #kindness . I don't understand social cues nor other people. #nerodivergent
Time to start the #introduction
So, hello I'm Moid, I'm in my twenties, and a fanfiction writer. Can find me on #ao3 @ https://archiveofourown.org/users/Lillymoid/
Main fandoms are #dragonage #harrypotter #witcher #rwby but it can be a revolving door at times. I'm l.moid on discord. I'm #nerodivergent #adhd #anxiety #bipolardisorder and a few not mentioned. I'm #queer safe being #greysexual closer to #ace and #demiromantic more inclined to just love fictional characters forever.

What is it about #ADHD that makes taking a shower seem like an insurmountable task?
I mean I know it's a lack of #dopamine, and it's so GD frustrating.
It shouldn't be this hard! ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ

Late night rum-fueled revelation: I enjoy dancing while wearing a fez because feeling the tassel bouncing is a sensory stemming behavior. #Nerodivergent

Another fun #nerodivergent admission: I often read a few lines of text in a toot before I realize it is written in a language I don't understand.

I don't have the skills and resources to make this, so take this idea (and please don't paywall it)
A search engine, or wiki with search engine, to find info about mental health and neurodivergence, but it has an option for whether you want info for your child, or info for adults!
