is your brain a separate entity from yourself?

yes (I'm nero-typical)

no (I'm nero-divergent

no (I'm nero-typical)

Is it a nerodivergent thing, or do nerotypicals also have to fill awkward silences with the most random things possible?

okay so I just tried brown noise for the first time and oh my fucking god my brain was actually quiet is this what it’s like for neurotypicals all the time this is heaven on earth.

I feel like having adhd is like being chronically relatable. Because you’ll be like “I go though the five stages of grief every time I try to start homework” or “I literally had a handful of croutons for breakfast” and everyone’s like “lol mood” and you all laugh and move on, but then in private you’re actually miserable because you can’t start things and also you’re starving because you did, in fact, only eat croutons for breakfast

GOD i wish i was nerotypical

i saw this post sometime ago and most the things written can be true, it just  depends on who says it. and two things where just wrong.

for one of the things that can be true, there was something like, ‘black people can be racist.’ that can be true, if you mean racist towards poc. but given the context the post likely meant racist towards white people, with is not a thing.

the statements that where just wrong were ‘it’s not homophobic to make gay jokes’ and ‘not wanting an child with down syndrome or autism is not ableism’.

know gay people making gay joke are rarely homophobic. but gay jokes from straight people are always, or at the very lest most, often homophobic.

as for having kids with down syndrome or autism... how do you explain that neurodivergent people are... you know people! 

learn, adapt, be a freaking parent! their people, they have live and their lives can be just a happy and for filling as anyone else’s. 

the problem is not people with down syndrome or autistics or any disability, it’s an ableist society. so if you do not want a child that’s neurodivergent, the problem is not the kids, it’s you. 

if your so concerned that you child won't turn out the way you want, don’t have kids.

I'm either extra depressed or diet sad. No in between.

I hate the phrase “bloom where you're planted”

like 

even god damn plants can’t “bloom where they’re planted”

they need the right soils

the right water

the right sun

the right temperature 

their entire ability to SURVIVE never mind fucking bloom is based entirely on where their planted

a cactus won’t bloom in a forest and an orchid won't bloom in the desert. you shouldn’t have to either. if you’re not in the right place move the fuck on.
