Trying to rid yourself of rejection sensitivity dysphoria is like trying to rid your yard of kudzu vine: it's insidiously fucking everywhere, it seems to grow back with a vengeance every single night while you're sleeping, and even though it feels like an absolutely futile battle, if you don't fight back against it it'll consume and smother everything beautiful that you love.

AUDHD things:

Having so many interesting trains of thought at the same time you overstimulate yourself while sitting completely still in a quiet environment.

Does anyone else have the problem where the photo captchas tend to think you’re a robot because you are too specific when you do them?

you know what sucks is when the neurodivergent urge to just stand there buffering for a while clashes with the disabled urge to not make your entire body hurt more than it already does

#just audhd things #love having clashing disabilities lol #the funniest part is that fhe disability i have that makes standing still like that hurt #aka EDS #is specifically highly associated with neurodivergence #lmfao we’re doomed

It’s spring and I’m getting the “tons of disorganized energy and ideas, no focus” after winter’s scattered brain/no energy.

Me: *Recognizing I have relatively little free time and energy compared to the list of things I’m already working on*

Also me: Man I want to rewatch Utena on top of the show-watchings I have planned. I should do *like eight time- and energy-intensive ideas*

Me:… Uh huh. Yeah, new projects will be allowed AFTER finishing a few currently in the tank, little brain.

man I wish people understood how much it sucks ass to be neurodivergent and trying to find the middle ground where people like/tolerate you. like, I'm either "boring" (trying to wait my turn in conversations, holding space for other people, taking a back seat to let others get some spotlight) or "too much" (too loud/talking too much, getting excited to share, trying to participate in group conversations/activities). No one really talks about how much of being neurodivergent is just sort of trying to make yourself palatable.

I feel like so much of my life has been spent trying to find this effortless sort of middle ground everyone else seems to automatically already know, and I'm always swinging too far one way or the other. I'm lucky to have neurodivergent friends who grok me, but goddamn I wish that I could just like, exist without the constant background script in my brain that's like "you're being too loud. You're not talking enough. you're being self-centered. you're being boring. you're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong." I feel like I'm back in high school trying to make friends but stuck as the eternal "weird kid"

it's just... lonely and sucks bad.

#I'm fine #just had a sort of blegh night with some people I'm playing dnd with #not a big deal but man the way I interact with neurodivergent people vs neurotypical people is like speaking two languages #except I'm only fluent in one of them and keep accidentally insulting people in the other #I'm just trying to make friends irl #flux's bullshuit #neurodivergent #autism #adhd #audhd #audhd things #audhd problems

Adventures in AuDHD Sensory Processing, coffee edition: part one million

I love coffee with cream. But i drink slowly. And I despise and loathe from the bottom of my heart the gross skin that forms on top of my coffee from half-and-half.

Half and half: 2/10. Better drink it hot.

So I've been trying out alternatives to dairy cream to see if this is a surmountable problem.

Creamers like Coffeemate get around this really effectively, but they're all flavored. Sometimes maybe I want coffee-flavored coffee. For a bit I tried the "sweet cream" varieties, which is the same stuff without the flavoring, but I discovered that these all - yes, all of them, i stood there in my grocery store like Rainman reading every single label - have added sucralose as a hidden supplemental sweetener. Sucralose tastes real bad. Even buried halfway into the list of ingredients, once I taste it I can't untaste it.

"Sweet Cream" variety refrigerated nondairy coffee creamer: 3/10. I wouldn't choose this unless it was my only option.

Today after about a week of reading up on the matter, I tried an oatmilk creamer. It was creamy and had the right mouthfeel while hot - hooray! Right? Well, no. As it cooled it took on the intensely unappetizing appearance of egg-drop soup. Like it separated into floaty clumpy clouds. Disgusting.

Califa Farms Barista Edition oatmilk creamer 1/10. Throw out your entire cup as soon as it gets to room temp.

Looks like the rest of this Califa Farms Barista Edition oatmilk creamer will get used in cereal, and my ass is back to the drawing board. Thank goodness I bought that bottle of my usual International Delight Vanilla.

I love how I'm so autistic that anything that constantly bugs me to use/buy it just makes me avoid it harder

You keep bugging me to install your app, website? I will never use your app, you can die in a fire

Ads that constantly bug me to buy or use a service? I'm never buying your thing or using your service

I'm literally so autistic that ads have the opposite effect on me lmao
