The real headline should be; "Before the NDIS, we were blind to just how many Australians were living with significant disabilities. The NDIS has allowed us to begin repairing the historical ignorance to those who deserved better."

Anyone else trying not to be alarmist but also a bit scared that all this #NDIS talk could be leading to some of the euthanasia laws being discussed as seen in other places allowing disabled people/carers to EOL rather than offer support?

Today I learned a new form of self compassion; holding other people accountable. I've been blaming myself for something for weeks, loathing myself and spiralling into depression. I wanted to believe the other side didn't do anything wrong and as usual it was my fault 1/

I don't understand why people say things they don't mean. But it hurts and it just feels cruel.

Damn so true. Pre-diagnosis I used to think the reason I was so much more tired than everyone else was because I lived two lives, the intense rehearsal and the intense real thing that never went to plan anyway 🙃

The autistic experience of overapologising because you’ve been taught to feel guilt and shame for having feelings, needs and behaviours that neurotypical people don’t understand #AuDHD #autism #disability

trauma dump incoming; the worst thing for me about being late diagnosed autistic, being traumatised repeatedly by the medical system is that when I'm suicidal I have nowhere to go. I will not retraumatise myself going to hospital again. I can't trust professionals or helplines or crisis teams 1/

I am so tired of seeing how both the education and healthcare system fails neurodivergent people over and over again.

Been telling myself to "just do it" for a week and getting frustrated at myself for not just doing it. So today my whole to do list is just to make a bloody to do list. And I'm still struggling 😭😭

I know I'm absolutely not meant to say this but it's where I'm at. I wish I could just have someone say yes you're right, your life isn't worth living. Let's end it together in peace with someone holding your hand so you don't have to do it at home and worry about the dogs or who will find you.

I don't understand the way people say always here to talk. Until you really need to talk and then they're like no not about that. Mental health matters until it's life or death 🤷‍♀️

Sigh. Today is not a good day. I have been collecting cans for the recycling scheme introduced here for extra cash. I keep a tub down at our communal bins and have done for a year without issue - everyone has been great and know me as the collector. But today it was stolen when it was full 😔

Great message. Having recently got back into reading which can be hard at times for my #audhd brain I have been going back to a lot of the YA books I used to devour when I was young. It's really bloody nice, nostalgic and the stories are fantastic! Read anything that tickles your brain! #autism

I'm one of few Australians who hate Summer. I get Summer blues. Being hot muddles my thinking even more. It messes up routines because everything needs to be done earlier to avoid the heat, can't sleep because the nights are hot, bills go up because of the aircon, stress 📈! #autistic #autism

No matter how many times I have to tell wait staff they've got my food wrong, it still makes me anxious even though I know I explained it very clearly 😭 #autistic #arfid

Today is my last day at work for a month!! Yay. Breaks are so important and for me, a week has never been enough to rest and recharge let alone actually have time to do things that I enjoy! #Autistic

Been wondering why my finger has been aching the last couple of days. Just realized it's because of my new flicking stim 😭 need to find something else to scratch the itch. 🙄😖

People always tell me to just try using the calendar and reminders on my phone. I'll often pick up my phone to do one thing and realise hours later, I'm still on my phone but not done the original task. Telling me to use my phone is like sending a kid into a toy store to do their homework. #AuDHD

#ARFID + #Autism. Yellow = never. Purple = only in smoothie. Pink = If I'm challenging myself I'll try minimal amounts. Growing up being called simply "picky" was really hard. Mealtimes were hard and I developed an unhealthy relationship with the foods I could tolerate.

One thing that I find the most frustrating is #Autistic inertia. I don’t see it spoken about so curious if anyone can relate. I find it incredibly disabling. Before diagnosis, I always thought I had a lack of willpower. That I simply wasn’t trying hard enough to get started on a task. 1/

Sydni - what in the ADHD?! @whattheadhd.bsky.social · 05/12/2024

People with ADHD do not LACK attention. We have plenty of attention. There's no deficit. What we *lack* is the capacity to REGULATE our attention. In other words, ADHD is a poorly named neurodevelopmental condition. 🙄

if you avoid writing your book for long enough and start another book to procrastinate, then eventually you start procrastinating on the new book, which leads you to finishing the first book follow me for more writing tips

What's everyone's special interest?? Some of mine are animals, Bad Girls (UK tv show), Fawlty Towers, Pokemon, accents (and Scottish slang is currently my thing 😅) puzzles and many more tv shows and books from over the years. I'm curious to hear what others are :) #Actuallyautistic #autism

I grew up loathing my brain because I was told I needed to change it, it needed "fixing". Now that I understand my autistic brain, I quite like it. I have struggles and need more support than some people but my brain is actually pretty cool when it's taken care of 🧠 💕#internationaldisabilityday

Just finished a reread of A Series of Unfortunate Events so rewatching the series. Pretty good adaptation. Patrick Warburton is a fantastic Lemony Snicket!

ADHD-ers usually have an interest-based nervous system. Meaning that a task needs either novelty, urgency, competition or interest for them to be motivated or focused. Learning this and adapting boring, everyday tasks to fit into one of these categories can be life-changing.

I never understood how people don't realise that banning books (or movies or any media) is a huge promotion for said book. Any time someone tells me a book is banned or a movie is controversial or "too much" I know I have to read/watch it. Just me? 🤷‍♀️

I always knew I was different. I didn't realise that was a 'bad' thing until other kids started to tease me for every difference they could see. I was diagnosed with depression at 14 and from that moment, anything to do with my struggles was the depression.
