When your love language is gift giving and you have ADHD lack of impulse control. . .Christmas is fun

What is your sensory issue Thanksgiving plate? I'll go first. Today I had two rolls with butter, mashed potatoes with butter and salt, and then a slice of apple pie with cool whip

When the Autistic special interest hits so hard you aim for a PhD in it

When you get a gel manicure because you notoriously fuck up a regular and you have an event coming up, then a week later you peel it all off because you have no self control

#actually adhd #actually autistic #adhd #autism #autistic adult #guys #my nails looked so pretty #they were a cats eye thing that was a lil holographic and VERY shimmery #i didn't peel them off bc i didn't like them #i was fine with the sensation #i peeled them off because once i started i couldn't stop #i picked a nail #the polish came off #and so did my self control

Heyyyyyy areeeeee youuuuuu aliveeeeee

I am! The irony of running an AuDHD blog is that I have no object permanence, so it doesn't exist in my brain when I close it out!

Hope my fellow AuDHD people are doing well! I just came back from Orlando for my brother's wedding, so I'm exhausted, but alive!

You've heard of boy math, girl math, and dog math. Now get ready for: AuDHD math!

There is one road on the way home. It's three halves. Not three thirds.

You have an appointment at 3pm that takes you fifteen minutes to get to, so you need to leave at 2:30. You're up at 10am. You do not have time to do anything.

You have a work day from 9-6. You have a break from 2-3. The work day is two equal halves.

You have a task due in two weeks. It's supposed to take two weeks to do. It takes one day to do and will be done the day it's due.

You have a task that only takes five minutes. It takes five hours.

Me, thinking of Ross's pro-con list in Friends: Y'know, as an autistic person, I can see where a pro-con list would help, but as a human being with feelings, I side with Rachel.

Me: Did I. . .did I just-what. Brain, get yourself together!

#autistic people ARE humans with feelings #my brain is weird #idk why my thoughts were worded that way #actually adhd #actually autistic #adhd #autism #autistic adult

*buys $120 worth of groceries*

*gets hungry*

*wants none of what I bought*

#whyyyyy #food is weird #what i wanted when i grocery shopped this morning #is not what i want now #i want nothing in my apartment #but my stomach wants food #executive dysfunction #executive dysfunction and food are wild #actually adhd #actually autistic #adhd #autism #autistic adult #autism and food #adhd and food

This is beyond delayed-but blame ADHD brain forgetting that this blog exists. When Barnes & Noble has a 50% off hardbacks sale and you have $75 in gift cards, impulse control does not exist.

#i love books #i could sit and read for a job #but only books i like #can that be a thing #and i don't mean a book reviewer #i mean being paid to just sit #and read #actually adhd #actually autistic #adhd #autism #autistic adult #so many books #booksbooksbooks #books and reading

Dental Experts: Don't rinse after brushing your teeth!

Me, with sensory issues: Mmhmm, I hear you, but-

#the feeling of toothpaste #it's yucky #when i actually motivate myself to brush my teeth #i have to rinse right away #sensory issues suck #actually adhd #actually autistic #adhd #autism #autistic adult

I found out that executive function and nonverbal communication are essential in learning to read effectively, my response was "but that's the part of my brain that's broken!"

Most people with their pets: Baby bean, I love you, darling.

Me with my pets: You butt.

My mom: I need to finish this book by next Wednesday.

Me: Well how many pages do you have left?

My mom: About 400.

Me: *sits and stares at her* That's all?

Update: she never even got close to finishing it

Most of my friends: *are some kind of non-cis*

Me: *is cis* Am I the weird one?

Got a manicure yesterday.

Nail tech: Don't mess them up, I won't fix it.

Me: Okay. *proceeds to immediately mess the polish on my thumb up*

Anyone else get along better with animals or small children than adults your own age? They love me. Hence why I'm training to be a teacher. I used to want to be a vet!
