i forgot tumblr existed for the past month and yesterday i woke up super sick and became obsessed with stardew valley

I am very aware that I'm mainly an autism blog, but I also have inattentive ADHD.

I am married to a man who has combined ADHD.

And I want to say something on his behalf, because it's not said nor recognised by the mainstream enough:

ADHD is a disability.

It's badly named, and it's treated with complete disdain. See a hyper kid? "oh, he's just a little ADHD". Get distracted by something shiny? "oh! It's all ADHD! like a squirrel! Lol"

Like my husband doesn't struggle to move some days, can't think, can't get himself organised, can't perform basic levels of ADLs on some days, can't engage, can't disengage, can't cope.

It's not fun, it's not quirky. It's a self-regulation disability that literally ceases his life from moving forward for long periods of time.

He's not distracted by shiny objects like a squirrel.

He can't sit, can't stop moving, can't concentrate, then gets stuck staring, almost locked in himself for hours because he can't function.

The ADHD community gets blocked out by the disability community because it's not mainstream recognised in many places as the disability that it is. But there are places, like here in Australia, that are actively trying to change that.

It should start in the community, too.

"Everyone has ADHD nowadays, it's no big deal" I can't hold a job and before I started meds I wanted to die every single day of my life, but yeah I guess I'm just want attention/a label/an excuse

I'm going to cut more bang/fringe but also the ADHD has been a little too unhinged recently to trust my decision-making skills so pray4me

They should invent holidays where you aren't expected to be social.

I left a thankful comment on one of my fave youtubers's most recent video and she highlighted it. I wanted to share it (I cut off the beginning and end) bc it was a big realization for me.
