@autisticadam.bsky.social A question for other ND people here on #Bluesky from the UK. Do you find that medical professionals are dismissive when you ask for assistance? Personally, I feel I'm not being listened to at present. I'd be interested to hear others experiences. #Autistic #AuDhd

I couldn't have put this better myself Adam. Autism is not a disease. Autism doesn't develop over time. Autistic people are born autistic. Many of us have been forced to mask our neurodiversity due to the lack of understanding within society. Masking is exhausting. #AuDhd #Tired #Genetics

#5amwritersclub #writingcommunity #AuDhd I'm grateful to have a family who understands that for me Christmas is spent just the two of us. Being AuDhd it gets too overwhelming otherwise. My thoughts are with those neurodiverse people who are struggling today. Wishing you all a peaceful Christmas.

#5amwritersclub #writingcommunity It's a snow day here in the North East. What's everyone writing? I keep being disturbed by Brontë's head popping up over my laptop, wanting to go outside to play, and eat snow. So far, only one chapter has been edited. Happy snowy Thursday everyone.

#5amwritersclub #writingcommunity #boxerlovers We bought Brontë a new cool mat to help with the current heatwave. She prefers her spot next to wherever I'm working, which today is in the dining room. Love this pup 💗

Foreground, a gold and red spotty chair and a pine dining chair, in between lying on the floor is my twenty week old brindle boxer puppy. Exhausted by the heat. We bought her a cool mat, but she prefers to be close by wherever I'm working.

#5amwritersclub #writingcommunity #artistsofbluesky After a morning tidying my office/studio two things have become apparent: 1. I am a bibliophile (I knew this anyway) 2. I have a serious yarn addiction 🤔 My studio cupboard is meant to house finished Paintings, it's now a hanging yarn to do list.

#5amwritersclub #writingcommunity I was disappointed to receive a rejection for a piece I'd worked so hard on. Reading the email again It's very positive. No I didn't win, but I did receive a highly commended from the judges. Considering this was a prestigious field, I know I'm on the right path.

#5amwritersclub #writingcommunity #neurodiversity In 2021 I made a commitment to stop masking. It didn't work, people were horrible. The UK appears full of ignorance regarding AuDhd, which saddens me. Please remember - It's not a disease, you can't catch it. It has nothing to do with intelligence.

Paper held with clothes peg. Quote by myself reads "I don't suffer from AuDhd. I suffer from the ignorance of living in a neurotypical world, where people don't understand neurodiversity, or are accepting of difference.
