“Why can you do it now and not earlier? Why can you draw all day but not even eat?” This happened the other day, so I had to try and draw down my attempt at explaining Executive Dysfunction and why it sometimes just suddenly…  disappears..

there’s a sleep “disorder” that is literally just “your circadian rhythm is inconvenient for school/work” and people with it have to take meds to make themselves sleepy earlier/later 

otherwise there’s absolutely nothing wrong with their quality/amount of sleep they just don’t have a schedule that works for society

shout out to second shifters - i traded prime time for good sleep

[gothiccharmschool]

It’s even got disorder in the name: delayed sleep phase disorder. And yes, if you have to have a “normal” schedule, it makes your life hell.

Oh, and it can run in families. Thanks Dad. 🙄

So many disabilities are disabling not because they’re inherently impairing, but because society just doesn’t make room for us

ADHD throws your circadian rhythm off, too. Most people with ADHD have a natural circadian rhythm that makes us tired from, generally, about 4am to noon - myself included. When I’m left to my own devices, those are basically the exact times I will naturally fall asleep and wake up. 

“Why do kids with ADHD have so much trouble in school? Why do adults with ADHD have so much trouble keeping decent 9-5 jobs?” Well, gee, maybe because it’s hard to get any work done when our bodies are literally programmed to be asleep. How well would you perform if you had to wake up at the equivalent of 2am to go to school or work? Not well? Then imagine how it feels for us, every single day of our lives.

There’s a lot about ADHD which I hate and wish would go away, but this part? See above. Our circadian rhythm is only disabling to us because society refuses to make room for us.

you’ve heard of hating phone calls because of anxiety disorders, but get ready for….

hating phone calls because of auditory processing disorders

[closet-keys]

someone make a meme with three hands coming together over hating phone calls and one is anxiety disorders, one is auditory processing disorders, and a third that’s having a bad memory

[radical-eirini-deactivated20210]

add another hand that has a stutter because I had to repeat myself on the phone like 15 times (no hyperbole) today and It was legitimately humiliating, fuck that shit

HEY

I found this chart

It was invented in 1980 by Robert Plutchik. It’s super helpful when you need to pinpoint what you’re feeling!

As someone on the autism spectrum, I have a hard time expressing or even understanding what emotion(s) I’m experiencing. This chart helps me articulate to people how I feel so they can help me better.

I hope people find this useful!

People like to forget schizophrenia/schizoaffective/schizotypal isn’t just “seeing things”. It’s severe social anxiety even with your family or best friend, disturbing recurring thoughts, violent thoughts/plans, being overly sexual, sensory overload, wanting to cause chaos just because you totally could, thoughts of self harm, etc. Its not pretty girl with pink, dirty hair following something across the ceiling.

We’re fucking terrified, not beautiful and tragic.
