Trans-Abled?
Tumblr media
🫧 Fish and Friends, I have some questions. 🐠 I have seen a lot of stuff regarding "Rad Queers" and frankly, I'm not sure I understand it. I'm totally open to discussing it with those that are apart of that community. I am a diagnosed person who does actually have neurodivergencies(?) and disorders. To anyone who is "Rad Queer / RQ" please hmu so we can talk. Would love to hear about your perspective. 🪼 See you all on the fish side! 🦈

ID: a red and black rollator in a living room with blue grey walls and grey brown wooden floor. The rollator is decorated with red heart lights made to look like ladybugs, black crossbody bag on one side and a ladybug plush and red floral pouch holding the batteries to the lights. End ID

People with psychotic disorders are neurodivergent too.
People with personality disorders are neurodivergent too.
People with substance abuse disorders are neurodivergent too.
People with tic disorders are neurodivergent too.
People with bipolar disorder are neurodivergent too.
People with dissociative disorders are neurodivergent too.
Neurodivergence isn’t just ADHD, autism, anxiety, and depression. (Plus those last two also get left out sometimes!) Neurodivergence is anything that affects your brain.
“Neurodivergent people hate loud noises” is actually just as valid as a statement as “neurodivergent people have delusions,” “neurodivergent people have tics,” or even “neurodivergent people have low empathy.”

fuck it. shout out to "high functioning" neurodivergents
the ones who can mask easily, the ones who can get social cues, the ones who have managed to go most of their life not even knowing they were ND because they didn't present as the stereotypical ND person.
the ones who can pay attention in class, understand social etiquette, who understand societial expectations
the ones who don't feel neurodivergent enough bc they don't struggle in the same ways/areas a lot of NDs do, or they can't relate to other NDs' experiences because they always understood these things easily
the ones with high empathy, the ones who DO get the joke, the ones who are constantly told that they can't possibly be neurodivergent because they don't act like what you'd expect a neurodivergent person to act like.
you are neurodivergent enough. you are valid, and so are your experiences. not struggling as much as others do in some places doesn't mean you dont struggle at all. your condition and diagnosis is valid. your symptoms are valid. YOU ARE VALID. not checking all the supposed boxes doesn't mean you aren't neurodivergent. you are enough. you are valid. you are loved. you are valued. you matter. you belong in neurodivergent spaces, you deserve to use whatever resources are available to you, you are allowed to take up space in these communities. and i am so, so proud of you.
feel free to, and actually, i encourage you to reblog this with your experiences. we belong in this community as much as anyone else. please also tag this w/ any neurodivergent conditions i may have forgotten 💙
since this is getting lots of notes I'd like to add, even if you're undiagnosed or maybe self diagnosed, for whatever reason, (i.e. can't get access to a diagnosis, not being taken seriously, or just not wanting an official diagnosis, etc.) this still applies to you. actually especially to you folks. don't think for a second you're not valid just bc you don't have the paperwork or whatever to say it

tourettes syndrome isnt a mental illness you fucking morons. its a neurological disorder, like epilepsy. its a physical disability. i didnt spend the last 15 years dislocating my shoulders against my will multiple times a day for you to compare it to adhd. when my tics are bad i cant even hold a pencil or talk because of how physically incapacitated it makes me. stop using it as a "gotcha!" towards physically disabled people because we ARE physically disabled people.
visibly, physically disabled. if you dont have tourettes keep the fucking name out of your mouth or ill smash ur teeth in with my metal cane.
stop spreading more misinformation about an already misunderstood illness you ignorant fucks

please stop associating the term neurodivergent with JUST autism and adhd. like please. there are so many ways to be neurodivergent and it’s not fair to assume that it’s just about autism adhd.

Neurodivergent reminder: Overstimulation feels a lot like anxiety, and understimulation feels a lot like depression.
More importantly, you don't need to know which it is to practice self-care.
Self-caring anxiety and overstimulation looks the same:
Recognize you're feeling big feelings
Take as many deep breaths as your need to slow your mind
Identify what’s causing the feeling, whether sensory, environmental, or situational
Minimize that cause as much as possible immediately
Self-caring depression and understimulation looks the same:
Recognize you’re in need of stimulation
Turn on an interesting long-form video of some kind
Do some quick exercise like a walk or jumping jacks
Call a friend that'll let you infodump
If you're neurodivergent and easily get stuck on labelling things — I see you.
I'm here to remind you that you don't need to know what it is to take care of it in the meantime.
You can — will — figure it out later.

body positivity with disability or chronic illness is really hard
like, i don’t love my body. it’s actively working against me 100% of the time. what i do love is how i’ve grown to work around my body, how i’ve grown to understand my body. the work i’ve had to put in to learn about my own body and the unique things about it cannot be undermined.
my body is hard work, and i don’t love it, but i will work with it to live happily.

Did you know it's Neurodiversity Celebration Week this week? It runs from the 18th - 24th of March.
Neurodiversity isn't just about autism - it also includes ADHD, dyslexia, dyscalculia, dyspraxia, Tourette's and OCD, among various other conditions and neurotypes.
If you're neurodivergent, remember to celebrate yourself this week, and if you know someone who is, let them know how much you appreciate them :)

i am convinced that "eccentric" is just the pre-discovery-of-neurodiversity word for neurodivergent. yeah hes "eccentric" oh you just mean he has autism. that's why he's weird bro. he just has adhd. anyway in other news i think i might be eccentric?
