Being AuDHD can mean living in extremes:
All-in… or checked out
Not hungry… or absolutely starving
Way too early… or running late
A cluttered home… whilst needing order
Wanting company… but far too overstimulated to socialise
Craving novelty… but also needing everything to stay the same 🫠

I bought a physical bus ticket for the first time a few days ago, and all I had was a $20 bill that my grandma gave me. I didn't realize I'd be getting $19 in coins back... but it's still kinda cool to see the variation.

✨Friendly reminder:
Autistic people can overstimulate other autistic people too - and that’s okay
Different sensory needs, communication styles or energy levels can clash sometimes
Different needs don’t make anyone wrong. They just mean we navigate with care and understanding ❤️

You also may have friends or family who would appreciate practical gifts this season. I like to use this time to take a closer look:
Do they wear worn-out shoes? Are their clothes warm enough for the season? Do they have good tires and brakes? Do they have meals and the means to cook them? Etc.

It’s not a great deal if you don’t need it. And especially this year, others really need support. So for all of us who have enough, let’s refuse to get sucked into the holiday shopping frenzy and share instead of shop. We don’t need more stuff, we need communities where all our neighbors are safe.

I'm sick of forced updates. Literally shut down my device in the middle of using it. I can't save my work, I can't opt out, I can't even delay the inevitable (they removed that option last update). I have even "turned off" automatic downloading of updates, but of course they download anyway.

Don't be shy about making alternate accounts to achieve this separation. You can make an alt that's just for rest and recovery, you can always come back when you are in the right headspace for it.
I love this account, but sometimes it's too much and I need something more chill.

Be a ruthless, pragmatic extremist when it comes to curating your social media, podcast, & video feeds so they give you resources supportive to your recovery.
Life is too short for the stupid rage bait dopamine hamster wheel the algorithm is trying to feed you.
Recovery first.

@bsky.app This is absolutely unacceptable behavior on multiple levels.
For one, labeling somebody as a terrorist on mere suspicion.
For two, taking anything this administration decides to label as terrorism seriously. Are you going to start labeling trans people as terrorists too? Fuck off.

Physical copies are where it's at. No changes, no chance of losing your account or license, no loading or buffering, no compression artifacts, no app updates, better color and HDR support, better sound and multi-channel audio support, bonus features, captions, SO many good reasons yo go physical!

Weird is good! Be weird! Be wild! Let it all hang out!
Be passionate and intense and whoever is cool enough to stick around will love you for it <3
I spent a long time masking my flavor to appeal to a broader (neurotypical) audience, turns out nobody is really into that. Be your own flavor!

Came across this in my gallery last night, honestly too real. Conflicting needs and feelings are difficult to manage, especially on top of other conditions and/or around other people. Yay AuDHD 🙃

I think I figured out how to sum up the (unsupported) autistic experience into a single pipeline...
Constant & unrelenting autistic triggers → constant micro-traumas → masking → internalized autism → distinct anxiety + autistic burnout → harmful coping strategies + physical/mental health issues

Autistic me puts a lot of time/energy into making adjustments for others(for example, regularly adjusting how we communicate to meet neurotypical standards/expectations), and it’s important that we remember to make adjustments for ourselves too. We should feel comfortable and supported as well.

I sometimes feel like all my friends know I'm autistic but dont realise I'm still masking hard around them, even around (or maybe especially around) other autistic friends. I often feel like I'm working triple hard to be the smiley, chatty, conversation starter one so that they can be a bit mask off
