I feel like there are a lot of people out there who needs to hear this:

If you dropped out of school because of diagnosed (or undiagnosed) ADHD, Autism, ADD, OCD, Dyslexia, Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar disorder, psychotic disorders, schizophrenia etc… You did not fail. The education system failed you.

Going back to interacting with allistics after solely talking to other autistic people feels like going back to your toxic boyfriend after dating a golden retriever boy

For the next three hours straight.

Keep stimming! 💜

Self-regulation is very very very important.

Imagine if I could use my autistic pattern recognition to save humanity from asteroids or something. Instead, my autistic special interests do not involve math, saving humanity or even asteroids (not anymore, that was the Gifted Toddler-to-annoying third grader Hyperlexia Space Epoch - 1992 to 1997 AD)

No, what my 34 year old, unemployed, AuDHD brain puts ✨special interest✨ on, you know what that is? It’s THE IMPLICATIONS of a (one, singular) yellow tulip in the back of a Bentley owned by a middle aged rocker with substance issues, after he thinks he got rejected by his crush who chose to rejoin the cult they both left because he got a fancy job there.

I could save the world, guys. WE could. And here we are, losing our minds over a flower only visible in one single shot.

A RANT ABOUT PARTY DRUGS AND PSYCHIATRIC DRUGS

(Expect little cohesion, don’t want to edit this after writing)

Another thing about medicine (both psychiatric and otherwise) is the lies we - collectively - tell ourselves about them. After seeing Dopesick on HBO, even my most conservatives relatives would agree that it’s “such a shame about that girl” and “who’s to say we wouldn’t end up like that with her life”. Basic empathy - finally - but bear with me.

The characters in Dopesick are pretty much fine until they are so tolerant or have been on Oxy so long that no doctor is willing to prescribe more. Then, they’re off to the streets, doing anything they can for oxy, heroin, later fentanyl. The only thing they had in common was some sort of injury happen to them, and a doctor sponsored by Purdue Pharma.

Personally, I have (due to a long list of diagnoses, of which none have been revoked as I got new ones, for some reason) automatically renewed prescriptions in almost all the drug categories. I have amphetamines, cannabinoids, zolpidem, pregabalin and benzodiazepines. If I ask nicely and have a good reason, I get Oxy too - luckily for me, my body has some sort of allergic reaction to opioids, so addiction is unlikely.

However, my cornucopia of legally prescribed substances is a constant, looming threat to my continued well-being, made even more so by the fact that I need them to survive. I just have to NOT go overboard. Sometimes that’s easy, sometimes it’s hard.

I’m 30-something now. I live a pretty calm life - child free with cats and a loving partner, somewhere in rural Northern Europe. Before that, I partied hard. I’ve tasted all the substances for fun (and later; out of social necessity) and let me tell you - the effect I get from a rail of amphetamine snorted from a CD cover at 02:47 AM on a Wednesday, at a party (three tweakers in a dirty apartment) I’d never attend sober… that clear, ready feeling, it’s the same as what I get from 60 mg of Vyvanse each morning.

“People with real ADHD don’t get high from their meds!” you might say. Your ignorance is forgiven. There is so much we don’t know about the brain, about ADHD (if it’s even ONE thing and not several, if it’s generic or trauma or both) and let me tell you - me being high on my meds IS what makes me do the dishes. Go to work. Remember how my partner feels before I take all the dinner scraps without asking if they’ve eaten. I am high. I have taken speed at parties and I know. Every day, I know.

There is no inherent difference between the speed you do at a party and the speed your doctor gives you. Sometimes prescribed speed is tied up with lysine, making you wait an hour before it kicks. Sometimes you get BAD speed at parties - levoamphetamine and not dextroamphetamine. Sometimes it’s cut with bad stuff. But - it’s the same. It’s the same it’s the same it’s the same.

I am as addicted as the guy living under the bridge. However, I get to call it meds and everyone is so happy about my go-getter attitude at work, and how I am a valuable asset to the company. My partner rejoices upon learning I now do my half of the chores. My mom says I seem happier, more well-adjusted. A friend tells me she considered just leaving me alone because I never seemed to get my shit together, but now my shit IS together. Nice!

I recently upped my dose from 30 to 2 x 30 mg Vyvanse. No problem - it even says so on the prescription that I can. I’ve been taking out two boxes at the pharmacy every month, but haven’t taken the correct dose since I started. I just didn’t need to, except now and then on stressful days. Now I need 60 mg, and it doesn’t even feel like 30 did in the start. What happens when 60 is no longer enough for me to feel the high that allows me to get anything done? And, am I lying to myself? Would 30 have been fine? I need, need, need the clear, ready feeling. And I need to get shit done. I need people to be happy with me.

Yes, that’s it. I need people to be happy around me. Is there a rehab for that?

i think the best example of my adhd sister versus my autistic self is when she was first given free reign to paint her bedroom, her four walls were hot pink, lime green, neon yellow and grape purple. when our mom asked me what I wanted i said "uh i don't know can you pick me out a warm-toned off-white? a light grey would be fine too"

#technically i also have adhd but she's hyperactive and i'm inattentive lmao #so she gets the superpowers i just get the executive dysfunction #actually autistic #neurodivergent #actually autism #adhd #just autism things #autism memes #just autistic things #autistic memes #adhd memes #audhd

This is an interesting question, I think I'd go with wood for chewing.

Although I like the taste of certain fabrics (if freshly washed) & I do like to eat paper.

question

when you drop something or something you own falls over, does anyone else say "OW!" out loud like you've been hurt even though you havent? not sure if this is a neurodivergent thing or just a quirk of mine hehe
