The universe is wild. It can return home your cat that's been missing for nearly 4 years, leave you living with that for a month and then snatch that very same cat away from you again leaving you worse off than when the cat went missing in the first place. Wild.. #universeworksinmysteriousways

I should NOT have to behave in a ceratin way for you to "believe" I'm autistic. #audhd #autistic

Yes... sitting rocking in my dark hallway while listening to my favourite emotional songs and singing along to them is therapeutic actually.... thanks for asking! 😅 #audhd #autistic #stimming #emotionalregulation

Wearing headphones that aren't even playing music when I go into town just so I don't have as many unexpected meetings and conversations. Works a treat! #autistic #audhd #socialanxiety

I'm always completely shocked to find that people may actually care about me. Even my family. I genuinely believe that I am not a second thought in most people's minds in my life. #audhd #autistic #bpd #borderline #rsd #neurodivergent

So ireland doesn't widely recognise the symbolism and intention of the sunflower lanyard. But it's gaining recognition, when I was in hospital twice this week they asked me if I worked there because I was wearing it. #autistic #disabled #sunflowerlanyard #audhd #autism #invisibledisability

I'm literally living out one of my top biggest nightmares. The possibility of any surgery is terrifying to me. But a possible craniectomy? A surgery removing a part of the skull???? How does an autistic person even begin to deal with this?

The strange thing about growing up in Ireland in the ‘70s, was you had a ring side seat to Brit & US culture, whilst at the same time having experienced how those cultures were based on exacting a toll from the colonised, like us. It was a discombobulating experience. Belonging & not belonging.

I wish it wasn't easier to explain to people "I'm depressed" than "I'm in autistic burnout." People shouldn't be dismissed by saying the latter just because others cannot seem to comprehend how debilitating being in an autistic burnout actually is. #burnout #autisticburnout #autism

Autistic people have always been here. You institutionalized us. Imprisoned us. Assaulted us. Lobotomized us. Killed us. Left us for dead. Abandoned us. We never left. We aren’t going anywhere.

Rep. Jim Himes: Zelenskyy is watching 70,000 dead Ukrainians. Missiles are slamming into hospitals. This is what he’s seeing, and he comes to the Oval Office, and a reporter asks him why he’s not wearing a suit. And the effing VP wants him to say thank you…

There are more *diagnosed* autistic people because they changed the diagnostic criteria and started diagnosing people other than white boys with autism. Also: 40 years of "awareness" campaigns. That's it. Mystery solved.

I'm generally able to converse, if I'm not thinking about the fact that I'm conversing... Which is a rare occasion. Mostly, when I'm focused and speaking on a special interest topic. Or when there's something intense going on in my life that has me distracted. #audhd #autistic #adhd #autism

Why do I know, when writing, how to use a word instinctively, and yet have to go research what the word means because I'm not actually sure what it means.... but I know how to use it???? Make it make sense. #autistic #audhd

Why don't I leave things till the last minute anymore? Because when I do something generally goes wrong and I'm left in a situation that has be overwhelmed and completely melting down. 🫣 #autistic #adhd

I am seeing a lot of people upset at autistic pages for posting about politics and I'm just... like, our very existence IS political If you can't accept that, well, that's not our problem and you clearly have a lot to learn

I used to think, for all it's faults, that having #ADHD as well as being #autistic was a good thing for me personally. I attribute it to me being able to mask so highly and so helps me in my job and some other settings. It helps me hyperfocus more on certain things. It helps me power clean.

"Struggles with eyes contact" is not the same as not being capable of making eye contact. I'm capable of it. And I do it Do I enjoy it? No. Am I comfortable with it? Also no. Can I focus properly on what's said while maintaining it for more than a few seconds? Definitely not! Yet here we are!

I feel that because people see me functioning in day to day life that they forget that I am actually heavily affected by the traits that come with being autistic and adhd. Because in their eyes I am semi "normal" that all my struggles are completely ignored.

Unexpected lodger. Very little notice. Change in plan for the day. Change in routine. Internalised all emotions. I can confirm that this ends in dissociation and a panic attack! 🙄 #autistic #audhd #neurodivergent

Medical misogyny is very real and extremely common I was informed by a medical professional,a specialist, that I had no scar on my head after receiving 5 staples from a RTA,reporting that it was "all in my head" 12 years later I'm being treated for numerous seroma on said scar. Do better Dr's!
