#one autistic one probably adhd

[thediamondarcher]

obviously, when an autistic man and a woman with some sort of anxiety disorder (both undiagnosed) have 3 kids they're probably going to be neurodivergent too won't they

I've made quite a few posts today (at least 10, I think). But it feels like only one of them got any attention. Most of them have 0 notes, honestly. So I guess it's time for annual Insecurity/Attention Seeking post again (because I've accepted it's a bit of both, honestly): people have seen my posts, right? I think they have, but it's sometimes nice just to get that explicit confirmation.

i... i finished my first edit of my novel. 107,098 words.

i don't even know what to do now. do i just... start from the beginning and go through it with my metaphorical red pen again?

do i invite people to read it and give any notes?

idek how i'm gonna be publishing this when it's Finished Finished. i want it to be accessible to the target readership (queer neurodivergent young adults) and i hate amazon so like. idk where to host it. or if it should just be a file to download. or what. AAGGGGGHHHH.

but anyway... I JUST FINISHED MY FIRST EDIT OF MY NOVEL.

#one thing i know is i'm NOT even gonna BOTHER pitching it to publishers #they would try to sanitize it for a broader audience & they can pry my autistic FTM main character & his genderfluid ADHD partner from my #cold dead hands. >:( #so i have to publish it myself. i just dunno how i'm gonna do it. #i don't really have any money to invest in this. so like. printing is probably not gonna happen lol. #i was thinking a website that just hosts the entire story in pages?? #and having it free to access but asking for tips if ppl enjoy it and can afford to throw like $5 my way #idk. i didn't write it with the illusion of becoming a rich and famous author lol i just wrote it to put more queerness & neurodivergency #into the world. so any money i make from it will just be a bonus.

decided to make a list of all my diagnosed issues and like fucking. god damn. how am i just living day to day.

#nine bullet points #of diagnosed things i struggle #i struggle with #1. type one diabetes 2. adhd 3. bipolar 4. severe anxiety 5. depression 6. insomnia 7. migraines 8. dpdr 9. ptsd #and im just ?? existing like this??? literally how what the fuck #there’s more than that too thats just like the actual able to be diagnosed shit #probably also at least slightly autistic but my psychologist said that its not bad enough to impact me big time and a diagnosis would do mor #more harm than good so im just kind. Not lmao #but also: abandonment issues self worth issues guilty conscience issues feeling unworthy of literally everything issues #awful at establishing boundaries #sh issues #(not for like years but its a struggle to not relapse every year esp during winter) #suicidal ideation but at least ive never actually been suicidal #not bc i particularly love being alive but because the fact that i dont know what comes after death scares me too much lmao #even at my lowest of lows i have not wanted to kms SOLELY bc the unknown scares me enough to be like #yeah this sucks but at least i know it #at least it’s like familiar which is sad but still true lma #OH ALSO eating disorder lmao. diabulimia is a thing. #genuinely how have i not been fucking hospitalized #not in a bad way but like. idk how i havent gotten to that point yet #tho to be fair there are multiple points i probably should have been tbh #i just. dont want to worry people? or inconvenience anyone. and i know im not gonna kms so its easy to be like ‘i dont need that’ #i have overshared way too much in these tags sorry i’ll stop now #if anyone has actually read all of these: i’m sorry. i love you. i hope you feel better than i do. i hope you smiled today.

//ableism mention tw

ok just gonna say something really quick: i absolutely hate Abe's characterisation in the reboot of Clone High because it is nothing like how he acted in season 1 and it just. isn't funny. they've turned this good-intentioned but flawed loser kid who just wants to be like the original Abraham Lincoln but doesn't know how to, into a self-centered and arrogant asshole who literally almost said a horrible ableist slur twice in the first episode. like. i'm being serious, he almost says the R-slur twice in the same minute and i dunno about you but i really don't find it very funny when a) the only "joke" behind it is "oh look at how bad Abe is compared to the more progressive sensitivities of the new generation of clones, isn't he just terrible", and b) they felt the need to completely rewrite a pre-existing character that fans are already attached to to do something against his own morals for the sake of a shitty joke, and c) TOPHER WAS RIGHT THERE!!! isn't he supposed to be the asshole or am i missing something?? like...

i'm not saying you can't have "edgy" or "dark" comedy or whatever, but personally, i don't find it very funny when a character that actually means quite a lot to me and is one of my favourites is twisted and rewritten into an arrogant asshole in an apparent attempt to appeal to the people who hate Abe for his flaws in the original show. especially when he's rewritten to be someone who would say a slur that's literally been used against my fellow disabled peers, myself included. it just feels... wrong. it actually hurts a lot to see a character i once loved and found to be one of the funniest and most important characters in the show be turned into an arrogant dick, with barely any thought or meaning put into him. i don't like what they did with the rest of the OG cast as well (such as Joan making a complete 180 in her entire character, JFK's character assassination, the removal of Gandhi, Cleo barely being in it etc.), but to me, they did Abe the dirtiest in this season and i'm really disappointed that one of my favourite shows had to continue like this :(

#clone high #abe lincoln #rant #sorry this post is a little heavier than what i usually post on here but i just felt like i really needed to say this #abe from clone high is actually quite an important character to me and i'm still upset that he's been written so poorly in season 2 #like he's a silly parody of a teen drama protag but honestly i think his struggles in the original series are actually really meaningful #like he's a little shy and doesn't exactly know how to express his ideas in the best way but wants to help and i just think that's so real #especially as someone who struggles with that myself #he has so much pressure to live up to the OG abraham lincoln and he really wants to be like him and tries but doesn't get it #i mean he even says something like that in episode 2 when joan and gandhi come to see him in his room and that's really relatable #so to see him so horribly misinterpreted as a selfish asshole really hurts me. #they've essentially done the thing where a fandom will tear apart the neurodivergent coded character #and write them off as selfish and arrogant and completely misinterpret everything about them #not saying that Abe is written to be neurodivergent but you get my point #it's kinda like that #he's relatable to me as an autistic person and a lot of his struggles are similar to what the autistic community experiences #also i'm sad that gandhi had to get removed because he's important to me too #he's actually one of my favourite ADHD reps on tv i've seen and he's just really funny #i know he was removed because people in India got offended and they probably don't wanna cause another incident like that again #but still it's such a shame he couldn't be included because he was a great character #also slightly unrelated but i think turning characters into a moral debate it stupid and often results in stuff like this happening #ableism mention #tw ableism mention

[suncaptor]

literally every main character has autistic traits and ptsd let's be real.

#Dean has bpd too which is significant to how he interacts and copes and all #Sam has OCD and an inability to like. make his symptoms not obvious when he is in danger. Dean's fawn response is really attuned #which probably really impacted how he did develop #Cas's autism is like the most obvious to people it seems but i would argue Sam has like. a LOT of autistic symptoms especially earlier on #that like overlap with his OCD (meanwhile Dean's got adhd symptoms but some of them are more from his bpd #but that doesnt mean theyre not real and then his adhd overlaps with autism and his bpd they kind of. like these arent clear line) #the thing about Dean is tv taught him how to feel now real life has no appeal and also he has to get the starring role heart is nuclear love #is all that he fears etc #electra heart boy #i would also argue if you are boiling it down to one primary diagnosis it would he dean: bpd sam: ocd cas: autism with the assumption they #all have ptsd #but i think that's needlessly reductive #main thing is sam did not develop bpd and dean did not develop ocd but they both have symptoms of overlap in comorbidities #incoherents #spn #supernatural #also Jack has like. autism and perhaps ocd too but its hard to tell bc he spedran Sam's trauma at once 😭😭

[myst1xx]

- g3 frankie

- g3 clawdeen

- lydia deetz

- beetlejuice

- the maitlands

(this is just becoming entirely the beetlejuice cast)

- sydney novak

- doric

ok ND folk, here's one i really want to know:

#its totally fine to vote if u aren't ND! just thats my target demographic bc ND folk tend to have Strong Opinions on certain noises! #this one has always been real divisive in my friend groups #i was once telling a friend how i got distracted listening to my nails tapping on my phone screen and he had such a visceral reaction #he absolutely hated it and here i was having a grand old time stimming away #its probably my favourite little stim. love the motion and love the sound! especially on certain surfaces when it goes really soft and high #like metal or plastic- my desk at work is a real good one #nyxtalks #poll #neurodivergent #stim #autism #actually autistic #actually adhd

[spacebugarts]

Y'know sometimes I think dumb shit like "maybe I'm not actually autistic b/c I don't think I really have any special interests?" But then I spend over an hour sharing fun facts about my favorite animals and infodumping about D&D to my mom

#anyways if anyone wants to talk about vinegaroons and hognose snakes hmu #autism spectrum disorder #autistic #actually autistic #asd #neurodivergent #neurodiversity #infodumping #special interest #i guess maybe I never really tried to name my special interests before? #like zoology/entomology is probably one of them #or probably biology in general tbh #definitely psychology tho #folklore/mythology and fantasy too! #those are the interests that stay pretty consistent even when my hyperfixations change #also special effects probably? i love learning about them and making my own #theyre probably my favorite part about watching old horror films #adhd #actually audhd #audhd #wow yeah ok thats a lot

[luisleyyaoi]

So you’re telling me neurotypicals don’t obsess over a piece of media for months or years at a time and memorize every detail about it and think about it so much that it interrupts their daily life?

#hi hello I’m probably autistic and or very adhd and realizing that who killed markiplier is a special interest #dsmp and undertale probably were too #no joke I failed math in 10th grade bc of wilbur fucking soot haunting my brain #was not fun #very glad that ones gone I like functioning

I copied this from an old post and I'm reposting it again. I know people do see my posts, but I apparently have an insecurity or slight desire for attention that makes me always repost these things.

i love hearing u be autistic about book binding i am definitely interested and will check it out

cookies ill start sobbing an wailing and sobbing :((( thank you i love talking about books a lot. artist books are so so deeply cool and unique but theyre a dying art and often overlooked in favor of other art media! which i get but artist books are SOOOO amazing. go look up dragon scale binding rn. heres a picture of some to tempt you oooohhhh hypnosis hypnosis subliminal messaging you think book arts is cool!!!!

#ask #OBLIGATORY NOTE. I DONT KNOW THAT I AM AUTISTIC. i may just be severely adhd and just experience strong hyperfixations ^-^ #tho thats also not diagnosed but i am the poster child for adhd and nearly every therapist ive ever had has agreed. its just not on paper #which is why i default to just. calling myself. neurodivergent usually HFKJDGHKJDHGKJ #im just like Uhm. There's Definitely Something Going On Up There #however literally all of my friends irl assume i am audhd so that is probably saying something #shout out to the time i met my partner's friends for the first time and one of them went #'travvy are you autistic? im diagnosing you as autistic. its only been ten minutes but i know this.' #so real of him tbh #cookies over yonder

2023 reads // twitter thread

The Meister of Decimen City

a chaotic superhero satire

a genius who’s labelled a villain by the government after her super intelligent dinosaur children get loose is put under supervision 

and has to confront her past / deal with the trauma of her complicated family/sibling relationships

and also the realisation that she might be asexual

#The Meister of Decimen City #aroaessidhe 2023 reads #this is. a lot and i loved it #its very fun. but also emotional childhood trauma #gonna be real this is probably the best ace book I’ve read in a while lmao #in terms of: it is a significant amount of the plot; not just brought up a couple times; #and her ace journey is not just within the context of a romance #(and also the book itself is. not badly written. which is more than I can say for others) #as always I feel like I didn’t Need the romance however I don’t hate this one! it’s unconventional and well developed #and the sibling relationships and friendships are given equal weight #I think if you like Hench you might like this. similar kind of thing #but this is a little more fun maybe and also the MC is genuinely trying to be a good person (unlike in hench where she goes. past morally- #grey lmao) #the MC feels very autistic coded. or adhd? and faceblind maybe there was a part that implied that #There’s a bit of a allegory re: curing superhero powers that make people’s life hard (or specifically: don’t want to cure we want to help yo #you make it bearable other ways) which I would be interested in a disabled person’s opinion on? I feel like it was doing the right sort of #thing but maybe not developed enough / through the ending? idk #anyway i love the dinos............. #asexual books

Wait this is hilarious when you think about it like every single fucking character in stranger things is/could be interpreted as autistic. Like, Mike? Obviously. Robin? without a question. Nancy and Will and Jonathan? i get the vibes. El?? YES

#maybe its just my autistic self projecting onto fictional characters #but also tell me im not crazy?? #also if i remember correctly if youre autistic youre more likely to be queer #and we all know stranger things is literally a fruit basket #stranger things #actually autistic #autistic robin buckley #autistic mike wheeler #autistic el hopper #i cant type it out for every single one #will byers #mike wheeler #autistic #neurodivergent #el hopper #robin buckley #nancy wheeler #jonathan byers #eddie too. he probably has adhd as well #eddie munson
