I will make a compilation of all the Cathy Doll ads the moment all 14 actors have their clips up (I am assuming all of them have one, atm it's just 6) 👀

Neurodivergency is wild, everyone.
The neurodivergent urge to NEVER throw anything away, even if it’s broken/torn/ruined in some way, JUST IN CASE it comes in handy.
I have a pajama rotation I have lived by for over five years, and my Thurs-Sun top between showers is this super comfy HU lounge tank. Well, a couple years ago it got a hole in it, so, I went to the HU site and replaced it (and in hindsight, should’ve bought like five of them). Fast forward to now, there are like, five dime sized holes in my current replacement tank, and I was spiraling (because that’s all I’ve been doing lately 🙃) because I can’t really sew, and I can’t just BUY a new shirt that’s a totally different texture (because I did that for my Tues-Thurs pj shirt and it’s been a year and I STILL don’t like the new one, too thick) so I googled how to sew and it was not going well, so I posted on facebook whining about the neurodivergent routines and clothing rotations I have, honestly just hoping someone would offer to fix my shirt for me 😅 (side note: I did try to find the actual shirt, first on poshmark with no luck, then on HU with no luck, then I found it on a super sketchy site which was cool except it was super sketchy and the link wouldn’t even open on my husband’s phone when I sent it to him so, that was a no go 😞)
And, someone commented explaining they totally get it!! and had knowledge of sewing and was trying to ask me about the fabric, if I could patch it, etc., and I’m like, no, it’s pretty lightweight, I don’t have any other shirt that’s similar otherwise it would solve my problem ha, and while they’re trying to talk me through it I get hit by this random thought:
“Wait, what if I saved the original one?? I don’t like to throw things out! I always save stuff! I could use the original as scrap fabric for patches!!”
So I went digging through three boxes of old clothes in my closet, was about to admit defeat, then thought to check my pajama drawer, and, it was the second shirt from the top. SECOND FROM THE TOP. It’s just been hanging out in my pajama drawer for two/three years, I didn’t toss it even though it has a hole! 
And I was like, perfect! I can just cut up this one and then patch the other one and don’t have to worry about different textures! And then my brain took it one step further and went, wait a minute, the old shirt has ONE tiny little pea sized hole, the current shirt has five dime sized holes... why not mend the shirt that’s in better shape instead of cutting it up and trying to fix five fucking holes?!
So I threw it in the dryer with a dryer sheet (because it smelled like stale drawer) while I showered, and now I don’t even care about fixing it because it’s my SHIRT and it’s the proper day and it fits just right and is super lightweight and I will worry about mending it when the hole gets bigger (or when someone offers to do it for me 😅) 😂
So, yeah, that was a crazy/chaotic two hours of pure stress for no reason. And DAMN I hate my brain sometimes (like needing a pajama rotation!) but DAMN I love it sometimes (like saving a holey shirt!) and it was just a wild ride.
So here are the shirts, the original on the left (you can tell it was in a drawer cuz the fold lines while the one on the right was on a hanger 😂) and a picture of me being so damn proud of myself for essentially being a hoarder 😅

And if you ever, EVER, happen to see the Her Universe Jedi Napper Yoda Lounge Tank in a Medium on poshmark or ebay or any of those sites, please let me know so I can snatch it up 😂

Have recently discovered bookbinding videos on Instagram and tiktok and having to resist the neurodivergent urge to buy everything and make it my whole personality.
But maybe when Plus One is done, I will do a nice bind up for it... :)

the reason no one in phineas and ferb minds the show’s pattern is because they’re all autistic and thrive off having a routine. they’re fighting off summer depression with the power of episodic shows!

The reason intrusive thoughts are morally neutral is not because you don't actually want to do them.
Intrusive urges and desires are also morally neutral.
And no, I don't mean "impulsive urges or desires". I mean the ones that are still disturbing but have a compulsive or alluring element to them to. I mean the way the idea of slicing my body into thin strips like a julienner is a craving that I have. I mean the way that I sometimes get a feeling like my body wants to move to hurt others around me, and I only know that I have control because I've been dealing with this shit for most of the time I've been alive. I mean the way I get turned on by thoughts of torturing people (which is where paraphilia overlaps with OCD).
I mean that someone CAN even actually want to act on their intrusive thoughts and as long as they don't, that's all that matters. People can fantasize about something and be deeply disturbed by the fact that they fantasize about it. It doesn't make them any more likely to act on it, but if it causes distress, it's still an intrusive thought.
I see a lot of posts which are like "no, intrusive thoughts are not secretly hidden desires of yours" and that's true for a lot of people! It's a good message!
But sometimes they are, and that's okay too. Sometimes they're not even hidden desires, they're blatant. But thoughts, urges, desires, feelings, anything in the head at all, are all completely amoral.
Morality only applies to actions.
If you have violent (physical, emotional, sexual, or otherwise) urges or desires, intrusive or otherwise, this is a safe place for you. You are welcome here. They do not make you a bad person and you deserve not to be left out of OCD/intrusive thought positivity.

i am so excited about these marbled creatures ! when i am overwhelmed i find it very soothing to rub something shaped and textured with my finger, so i designed these lil fellas exactly for that. the marbling comes from the clay so the colours won't get scratched away, and they're varnished semi glossy for a smooth feel. they're just the right amount of sensory input to help me focus and feel more grounded, without being too much and adding to the overstimulation.
these are croco, sheepy, and moo ! i would love to know which is your favourite (╹ᵕ╹✿)

I have surfed for a *long* while through ADHD content and always, always when I came across stuff like undiagnosed people being called 'lazy' for their executive dysfunction I would relate but always in a distant 'ha ha! That happens! ' kind of way.
It has only occured to me recently (from recent forceful reminders) that /maybe/ people don't actually realize that it's a little deeper than that?
Cause when someone calls you lazy after you quote ADHD at them, they don't mean in it in a 'oh, it's a one time thing' way. They are literally saying that all your life, all the things you've struggled in silence with like regular chores, personal hygiene, lack of concentration,etc. Is a personal choice that you make and continue to make and could stop at any time if you wanted to. It's someone making up their mind about your intelligence, commitment, abilities and character and seeing your challenges as something that could be overcome easily and that you are choosing not to do so when you so clearly have the ability to.
And can I say that it sucks.
Because how are you to begin asking for help when everyone believes you can help yourself?
