and you know what? i wish everyone who tried to make me „feel better“ about being diagnosed with autism by bringing up people such as Greta Thunberg and even the fucking tesla devil (granted, before his public image frayed completely) a very pleasant FUCK YOU.

because i was never looking for representation in the people who „made it big“ or whatever. i was looking for representation right in front of me, in fiction, in fan culture, in writers, in the weirdos i‘m part of. i will never try to make it big because that’s not the point, i just hope one day i‘ll be someone‘s comfort author and that they can see themselves in the characters i write. that’s all i want. and if it’s one person, that’s still one human being that resonates.

AuDHD is an informal word that refers to someone who has both Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). For many years, people could not be diagnosed with both illnesses together. Today, we know that they can and frequently do exist. ADHD might prefer spontaneity and variation, but autism frequently favors stability and routines. These seemingly opposing characteristics may exist in the same person. Each individual with AuDHD is unique. Understanding an individual's strengths and challenges is essential for providing effective support. A diagnosis does not put someone in a box. Rather, it facilitates better understanding, accommodations, and care.

well, my headphones have officially broken (they only work on one side now with absolutely no changes when adjusted) and my spare pair are at my parents'. absolutely cool timing. they're very important to me and i'm going out on thursday, and even though i asked my parents to send my spare pair, and have ordered some earbuds from HMV, it feels far too late to get them for my appointment. normally if i stop listening to music out, it's because i have the choice, but now, it makes me feel restless because i don't have that choice. also listening to music and watching videos at night is a no-go (unless i dramatically turn down the volume) considering how old my place is with an upstairs neighbour. such an annoying coincidence, and i'm already feeling it

We assume students see pictures in their minds as they learn. But not everyone can

Every day in class, students are encouraged to ‘visualise’, ‘imagine’ or ‘picture’ concepts in their minds. Some find this impossible.

I don't get why some people say it's fine to avoid people with disorders such as NPD, AsPD, etc, but not to avoid disorders like autism (and the other "non-demonized" ones)? What make one disorder more "deserving of avoidance" than the other?

Just let people avoid who they want to avoid if they know they can't handle being around those people, especially if the reason they can't handle being around those people is because of their own disorder.
