Name the #paradox whereby the more support a #neurodivergent person has, the less it is perceived that they need support and therefore the harder it is to access supports.

Reframe

A child with ADHD "overreacting" isn't seeking attention.
It's a nervous system that's been overloaded too long, without enough recovery time.
The meltdown isn't the problem. It's the signal.

I just came across the concept that facing away from the shower is a neurodivergent thing.

I am well aware I do this, and have always been confused by movies and tv shows. I figured it was bath people writing shower scenes; like when adults try to write for children, or cishet guys try to write for queers.

Never occurred to me it was because of my ‘tism.

I also learned the phrase:

waterboarded by the domesticated waterfall.

Double (?) empathy problem:

Autistic person asks for handling a situation in a specific way, that would accommodate their needs.

Allistic person: "I would prefer do it differently."

Autistic person explains in detail that they are asking for this accomodation, because it is necessary to make the situation accessible for them, not a nice to have preference.

Allistic person: "You don't have to explain yourself."

Autistic person: "Yeah, but I obviously have to. I wish I wouldn't and that you would have taken my need for accommodation seriously in the first place, but unfortunately that wasn't the case."

Allistic person: "No need to be rude. You are so sensitive."

Autistic person: 😐

A glorious neurodiversity pride day to all!

It can feel like an odd thing to celebrate, as it causes a lot of pain, and yet, if you glimpse past the struggle, there is beauty, there is creativity, focus, passion, insight, perspective, and a profound amount of fun that adds so much wonder to the brief time in which we get to experience this reality.

Wishing you all love and healing. 💜
