6 Things that Increase Anxiety for Autistics

#ActuallyAutistic #AuDHD #Neurospicy #Neurodivergent #ND

Being neurodivergent and running the buggiest and weirdest possible build of obscure software instead of the default one, with a series of desperate and innovative fixes and kludged together workarounds, one after the other, just to make it work even a little bit.

"Why don't you just...?" some poor fool asks. Well! Have you got 45 minutes because I sure can tell you why I don't just!

Every time I feel my brain getting overloaded by the endless stream of information, digital feeds, or just my own hyperactive #neurodivergent synapses, I re-listen to this absolute gem of an audioblog by @keenan

It perfectly captures the over-processing ramp-up...

..then culminates in a soothing bubble bath of velvety voice mastery washing over your brain folds. 🫠

This week, I have discovered something important about myself: I am AuDhd — autistic and ADHD.

A few years ago, close family suggested that I might be autistic. I started to wonder too, but life kept moving and I pushed it aside. Recently, my psychologist recommended a full assessment. I decided it was time to find out.

Now it’s confirmed. I’m officially diagnosed.

It’s life-changing.
It’s a revelation.
It explains so much about who I am and how my brain works.

I finally have answers to the questions I’ve carried for years. Why I think the way I do. Why I experience the world so intensely. Why things that seem “easy” for others cost me so much energy.

I’ve already spent time grieving the parts of my life shaped by misunderstanding — both from others and from myself. This diagnosis doesn’t change who I am. It simply gives me language for it. It makes sense of a lifetime of being “too much,” “too sensitive,” “too intense.”

I’m not broken.
I’m not a failed version of normal.
I’m neurodivergent — and there is strength in that.

I'm still learning what Unmasking for me means, but here are a few things i plan to start doing:

• Asking for clarity instead of masking confusion
• Setting up my life around my brain’s natural rhythms
• Refusing to apologise for my sensory needs
• Speaking plainly about how I experience the world

Getting this diagnosis is not an end. It’s a beginning.

If you’re walking this path too — late-diagnosed, learning who you really are underneath the masks — you are not alone.

We are allowed to exist as we are.

I’m AuDHD.
I’m proud.
I’m building a life that finally makes sense.

"Despite what the brain worm might be saying to him, RFK jr doesn't get to redefine people to less than him just because they don't score on his random-ass baseball & dating test. He does not get to push his dollar store eugenics agenda without some fucking pushback"

Here's me. Pushing back.

Autistic Employees in Canadian...

I don’t know if it’s the autistic part of me but being able do my daily small things either makes or breaks a day. Maybe I’m a bit eccentric or rigid for wanting to do certain things in a certain way. Telling me I’m bossy or controlling is absolutely not helpful because you’re clearly not seeing the constant panic behind my mask #ActuallyAutistic #Neurodivergent

For my #queer #neurodivergent buddies: do you think these identities inform each other? Can you separate them from each other? How does being #gay #trans #nonbinary or other #LGBTQIA2S identity AND #autistic #adhd #ptsd #anxiety #depression or other #neurospicy identity take up space in places you go? How do you find joy in these spaces?

In meinem Umfeld kämpfen so viele grad mit Leistungdruck, psychischem Stress & Anpassungsschwierigkeiten an die Gesellschaft aufgrund von Neurodiversität. Ich bin froh, dass wir heut andere Wörter dafür haben als verrückt & andere Maßnahmen als Ausgrenzen & Wegsperren, auch wenn wir von Gleichberechtigung & Inklusion leider noch weit entfernt sind & leider wieder viele zurück in dunkle Zeiten drängen. Diejenigen, die "anders" sind & zu kämpfen haben sind mir oft die Liebsten... #neurodivergent

As a parent who was told their child may have ‘high functioning aspergers’ on their final day of preschool…to finally getting a clinical face to face diagnosis for #autism in Yr 5, I can say categorically #Farage has no comprehension of how longwinded the system is in the UK in terms of diagnosing #neurodivergent conditions.

And that’s just 1st stage…then you have to fight for #EHCP.

#ALERT

What in hell is WRONG with this bastard?!!! #BrainWormBobby now going on about creating a registry of #autistic people in some database somewhere. Now #neurodivergent people in the U.S. are targets.

GET #RFKjr OUT OF U.S. GOVERNMENT

RFK jr said some very stupid and very nasty things about autistic people.

I'm autistic. Here's my response.

Danke für die Ferndiagnose, Dr. Ahnungslos.

#SPD und #Union wollen die Pflicht einführen, dass Hausärzte erst zustimmen müssen, bevor sich Patienten auf die Suche nach einer #Psychotherapie begeben: "Die Gründe, eine Psychotherapie aufzusuchen, sind zu persönlich und müssen niemand Dritten mitgeteilt werden. Und erst recht nicht von einem #Arzt geprüft werden."

Is RFK jr a dangerous idiot, or just dangerous?

My new video is out now.
