I’m so happy about this 😀

Entrapta’s character is very important to me and I’m extremely happy that this has been confirmed. Her character is such amazing representation and I love the effort they put into helping the audience understand her. In fact she actually helped my 9 year old neurotypical sister understand me a lot more because my sister for the first time understood that I, like entrapta show my feelings very differently and in ways she sometimes doesn’t understand. Now my sister is so much more aware and understands how I show my emotions way better.

Also hearing that she was shaped by an autistic person really makes me happy, THIS is why we need more neurodivergent representation in the entertainment industry.

I’ve been showering in the dark for over a year because the bathroom fan turned on with the lights and the sound it makes is Bad, but I finally disabled it and now I can turn the lights on and the silence is glorious

i think a lot of neurotypicals misunderstand what “routine” means in the context of autistic ppl needing routine. they seem very fixated on the idea that routine means doing the same thing at the same time every day (eg always eating at 12, always showering at 7, idk, stuff like that) and they don’t seem to get that while yes, those are a kind of routine that some autistic ppl need/like, it’s not the only thing. 

like for me, for example, it is way more important that the songs i listen to play in the right order and that the right kind of audio is on in the background when i do different tasks than it is that i do said tasks at a specific time of day. the routines that are important to me are about how i do things, not when. but nt ppl don’t understand this. 

why is this important? bc i have had So. Many. neurotypicals tell me that the reason i’m depressed/anxious/not feeling well is that i don’t have enough of those when routines in my life. that obviously if i made sure to always shower at the exact same time of day i wouldn’t be depressed. that obviously if i made sure to always get up at exactly the same time, no wiggle room of even a minute, then i wouldn’t be anxious. “because you’re autistic!” they say, “and routines are important for you! you’ve even said so yourself!”

and then they proceed to not take the actual reasons why i’m feeling unwell seriously, because obviously if an autistic person isn’t living minute by minute according to a schedule that dictates their every move then that has to be the cause of all their problems.

Hey!! I’m super nervous about this but ADHD Awareness Month is winding down and I really wanted to share some information on rejection sensitivity before it ended. This is a defining feature of ADHD that is often overlooked, despite how harrowing it can be for those of us who experience it! My main goal here was to remind my fellow ADHDers that they are not alone!

The transcript version of this guide can be accessed here. 

Lastly, ADDitude Magazine is a great resource for learning more about RSD and other ADHD symptoms. Happy friday!
