no one ever talks about the part of adhd where everyone in your class has got their group of friends and you’re just there, mindlessly tagging along with anyone who is willing to put up with you for a few minutes. either you’re too loud or too quiet. if you’re lucky, it won’t affect you much. you’re a loner, so what? but then the moments come around where you find yourself yearning to be like the others. you’re not depressed, why would you be? you’re a child who just happens to be a little different. sure, you’re usually the last choice when it comes to groups and you’re rarely, if ever, invited to birthday parties but… it’s alright. everything is fine. or is it?

[adhighdefinition]

for the people questioning whether this really is part of adhd or not

You see Baudelaires, your fears about this man being count olaf are unfounded! He clearly reblogged a post marked “count olaf don’t interact,” and certainly if he WAS count olaf he wouldn’t have reblogged it!

breakdown of why moon's haunted is the tweet of all time

- the implication that the nasa spaceship got back to earth, from the moon, without nasa knowing

- nasa employee is super chill about it

- theres just a gun lying around

- the astronaut is taking a gun and nothing else to fight ghosts

- moon's haunted

[remnantglow]

[thatgirlonstage]

If I may add:

—the implication that the astronauts have discovered the moon is haunted, and decided to GO BACK ANYWAY and be ghost hunters about it

[ruffboi-mags]

Can't let ghosts have the moon. They're dead, moon's ours. Gotta defend it.

when housecats are small its awesome and when theyre big its also awesome. the bigger or smaller a cat is, the better. but there's also something so alluring about a perfectly average cat. you can't go wrong

my great-grandfather had to leave italy in the 20′s because he hit a fascist with a tuba, so if you think I am going to take this sitting down you are going to have to catch these hands and also this tuba

[bartok-not-bartalk]

Fun story my Great Great Grandma left Germany in the 1920s because she had family in the US and could get citizenship pretty easily and once she was over in the US she then smuggled over 15 jewish families out by forging family documents so now my aunts are currently in the process of trying to tell the real ones from the fake ones because my great gran just died and there are legally over 100 surviving descendants but we know that math is a lil screwy.

[jedda-martele]

Sometimes a family is you, your kids, your grandkids, your great grandkids, and the 15 Jewish families you helped smuggle out of Nazi Germany.

[philosopherking1887]

And your tuba

My spouse and I just had one of those “wait your brain works HOW?” exchanges, and now I am BURNING TO KNOW HOW IT WORKS FOR OTHER PEOPLE:

Fellow speakers of this feral bastard language (English), rb and tell me in the tags: what is the delineation for you, if any, between evening and night?

[mx-dorkboy]

Anyway adults saying “I don’t know isn’t an answer” is part of the reason I learned to lie and bluff so well.

[mx-dorkboy]

Really though, what was that about? I don’t know is a valid answer. It communicates very clearly that the child cannot answer your question, and therefore maybe needs more help understanding the question/situation. Why do you try and push them to give an answer they don’t have? That stresses them out and it makes them feel like they’re being punished for not knowing something.

[logically-asexual]

i thought i was the only one with an “i don’t know” problem because my parents made it seem it was the strangest and also most horrible thing in the world. i genuinely didn’t know and they got angry and that only blocked my thoughts more which meant i didn’t know the answer to anything else.

[nyxwoven]

Also “I don’t know” is a commonly used sentence for children with ADHD/Autism. We DON’T know why we can’t do our homework. We DON’T know why we can’t eat certain foods sometimes. We DON’T know why we forgot to do a chore. It’s really distressing when you genuinely don’t know and people think you’re just lying or indifferent

[salamencerobot]

Supposedly it’s an attempt to get us to communicate easier, HOWEVER. There are much better ways if doing that. For instance:

Parent: why can’t you do your homework?

Kid: I don’t know!!

Parent: okay. I’m going to list some options, and you pick the one you think is closest to what you feel, okay?

Kid: mhm!

Parent: is it because you haven’t finished what you were doing before? Or does the homework feel to big to do? Do you not understand what you’re supposed to do for homework?

___

Like seriously, break shit down. Kids understand you and most of the time do want to make you happy, they just don’t got the words to do it right. In the case of adhd or autistic kids, we just REALLY don’t know how to express ourselves. It’s like auditory processing disorder, but for our emotions. Its hard. ALSO!! make your kids understand that asking questions is okay. Because as they learn about everything around them, it gives them tools to use to describe what they’re feeling.

“not blaming individual citizens for the insane wars started by their leaders (or the leader of the country they were born in, or the one their parents were born in” is something American especially should support

I can’t believe people are mad about a 16-year-old girl wanting the earth to get better

What is she supposed to do, motherfucker? Teleport?? Spontaneously develop the ability to fly unaided?

Not to mention the fact that THERE IS NO ETHICAL CONSUMPTION UNDER CAPITALISM

It doesn’t matter how committed you are to fixing the climate you still have to fuckin eat

Reblogging for that last line “Participating in the world as it is does not disqualify you from trying to improve it.”

PARTICIPATING IN THE WORLD AS IT IS DOES NOT DISQUALIFY YOU FROM TRYING TO IMPROVE IT

[jennilah]

omg she recognized me immediately and got nervous with me while checking the system using my name

she was just as distraught as me when it turned up “arriving tomorrow” again but then she had another idea

mail is dumb

[jaydenskyle]

The mail lady saying “NO. I REFUSE to say it again” was more climactic than the Braveheart speech.

Anyone else, esp. neurodivergent people, ever talk to someone and get elated because you’re like wow :) I am doing a Conversation :) I am doing the Asking Questions and Listening Attentively and Expressing Interest :) I have shared a Joke or brief Amusing Happening and this person liked it :) this person seems to enjoy speaking to me and I enjoy speaking to them :) I’m a person.

[sandersstudies]

I once was talking to someone I admired and they told a joke about our managers and I added to the joke, and they laughed so hard they couldn’t talk  and I was like thank you for laughing I have truly never experienced this level of euphoria and also I would die for you now.

[sandersstudies]

Recognition Responsive Euphoria is a hell of a drug 

[f1rstperson]

I do this and I’m like “This is great. I’m going to get a good grade in conversation, something that is both normal to want and possible to achieve,”
