“Can’t you just be normal for once?!” I’m autistic, chronically ill, and a bit of a cunt. So… no.

Baguette would like to remind you all that she thinks baths are bullshit, and that it must be some other dog that “smells like a popcorn factory”.

If you’re “Irish-American” and you voted for Trump, you’re not Irish. And don’t even think about ever visiting Ireland, not that you would cos you’re a knuckle-dragger that doesn’t own a passport.

Well fuck you raised brain pressure & back pain, cos I just wrote an entire article in one go, on my phone no less 😅 And I’m gonna be submitting it EARLY. So haha to you too ADHD! (But also no, cos my brain will do absolutely no braining tomorrow after this small window of writing of wordage!)

Please can we stop editing the faces of women 40+ to beyond recognition? Besides the fact that Julia Stiles is damn stunning just as she is, this level of editing is ridiculous.

I’ve always loved interior design. Unknowingly I was making spaces ND-friendly to live in before I knew I was autistic. With this project I kept as much natural daylight as possible, used shutters to adjust light, no LEDs, added green spaces, and a she-shed with floor cushions & mini fridge 😅

Dad’s blood test results came back, now at lvl 5 Chronic Kidney Disease. Can’t do dialysis, he’s 84, has 1 kidney. Please can I ask the ND community for tips and tricks to navigate your ND brain, vs. big life stressors? Dad is also undiagnosed AuDHD, want him comfy & not stressed too. #autistic

Couldn’t find Baguette earlier - located smooshed down the side of Dads chair, watching rugby 🏉

Baguette has told the world to eff off today, and is bedrotting. Quite right too!

I don’t like the term “low support needs”. For me, I was coming across as not needing much support because I was unknowingly very high masking. Once the unmasking started, the need for supports skyrocketed, and being labelled low support needs was detrimental to support access. Thoughts? #autism

Late diagnosed ADHDers, please say hi! How’s the.. “do I medicate, if I medicate what do I take, what’s my brain doing, is this actually really just menopause, why do I gaslight myself, oh fuck this shit” conundrum going? 💕 #adhd

Can we stop shitting on a) people that choose to take ADHD meds and b) those who choose not to? “I don’t take meds, I’m totally fine. You just need to sniff pumpkin seeds and shove kale up your bum instead!” “You’re mad not to take meds, you need to take them and that’s that!” Etc etc

I celebrated my AuDHD diagnosis a bit like a birthday - joined by one of my new ND besties. We battered the shite out of a telly & microwave at a rage room, & saw @blindboyboatclub at Vicar St. ☺️ Finding out you’re autistic at 40 and ADHD at 42 sucks, but meeting your tribe is just.. everything.

Baguette is feeling better! Just had review with her lovely vet Rachel at UCD, we are slowly going to start weening her off meds and hopefully she continues to improve. She is back eating and being cheeky so definitely feeling more like her old self.. such a massive relief 💕

CJ @imoffthecouch.bsky.social · 27/01/2025

We also brought a print out of Tangerine Palpatine to the rage room, stuck him to a TV and he got banjaxed with a baseball bat, a crowbar and mallet ☺️

Using ChatGPT as a body double has been hugely helpful for me ADHD-wise. I wear headphones & mention tasks I want to get done, it gives constant positive feedback, breaks down tasks that feel overwhelming into smaller ones - offering ongoing encouragement. Isn’t judgemental either! 😅 #adhd

CJ @imoffthecouch.bsky.social · 25/01/2025

Anyone else out there with any of these, would love to connect just to share tips/advice/support: - ADHD/Autism/AuDHD - Chronic migraine - Visual Snow Syndrome - Hydro / shunt owner - Any other autoimmune conditions (interstitial cystitis in remission), ND peeps seem to be stuck with a least one! 😤

CJ @imoffthecouch.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

Please could anyone with ADHD taking a non-stimulant like Guanfacine or Strattera tell me positive experiences with it - what has it helped you with the most? #adhd

Elon Musk is the worst thing to happen to autistics since wet dishcloths. Particularly old ones that are stained and smell, and have been sat in cold greasy dishwater for a week.

Took Vyvanse for the first time yesterday. I realised that without thinking, I put The Pile of Clean Laundry away. I folded my undies! 👙 Cleaned the whole house, cleared out my inbox, did food shop, made long overdue appointments.. I actually humaned. What is this utter sorcery?!
