It's such a relief to know you're not a/the problem. The problem is that you weren't being accommodated.

Ppl push that 'weird' label on ppl so they don't have to accommodate. They can just claim you're weird and wash their hands. It's bullying, but accepted bc you're a social outlier.

It sucks

There are 2 places that do reduced sensory hours... 2... In my region (Canada but sorta really close to a tourist destination. So, lots of stores)

I'm LUCKY that one of them is in my town. The other is Costco, 20 minutes away.

Like, being accommodating doesn't even necessarily doing anything.
It just means, as a stranger, that I should be aware I might need to help someone at some point in my life.

Like giving up a seat on the bus for an elderly person. Or having quieter/less lights shopping hours at a business

Same
My spouse and MIL are also AudHD. We often accommodate each other.

But that is life. Some ppl need different things. Like when I walk around Costco with my noise canceling headphones and sunglasses.
But, being diagnosed now protects me as I can't be forced to take them off.

Diagnosed... It's FINALLY getting diagnosed after ppl being overlooked for so long

And bc of the new data we can recognize it in more ppl.

I truly think the ppl who feel it's being over diagnosed are just mean and rude bc they don't want to accommodate ppl who need accommodations.

I worked with children.. did a shit ton of research on ADHD and Autism... And decided to get an assessment bc I was definitely overlooked as a kid

Turns out... Yeah, I'm autistic

Ppl do not get that we have a wealth of knowledge now compared to like the 1990s and 2000s.

It's not being over

The oligarchs still have us under their thumbs.

When will we challenge it enough to have meaningful change (more and more socialism)

When will we give up indicators of wealth? When will we give up classism?

When will we realize that we never killed the monarchies that held the knives over our heads... They just changed terms

Bernie won't even talk to independent media, so don't tell me that he's secretly in strategy meetings with grassroots orgs behind the scenes to coordinate their efforts. Bullshit. He has no interest in doing that, because challenging power would force him to take risks and make sacrifices.
