My NT friend: doesn’t this silence bother u

Me, autistic: are u telling me u can’t hear this incredibly loud fridge

[autisticeducator]

The lights have sound

Electronics have sound

Appliances have sound

If electricity runs through it, it has sound.

Rarely is there actual silence (and that does bother me due to lack of sensory input).

This is why the barn uses me when they think the horses are reacting to a noise they can’t hear. I’ll likely find it (it’s usually the heating or the electrical box in the indoor).

I also know when the electric fences are on.

For years I was convinced that I was either hallucinating or had hearing damage, because electronics always made this high-pitched whine that was closer to being felt than heard, and nobody else knew what I was talking about. Then I met other autistic people.

[chasing-asterion]

Wait a minute.

…Are…are you telling me other people can’t hear the fridge motor? 

The constant high pitched whine of electric appliances? 

That the world doesn’t sound like radio frequencies?

It already took me 21 years to realise that I don’t perceive light the way normal people do (thanks to astigmatism) and now this?

What else?

Sending lots of good thoughts and good luck to everyone out there having a tough time getting by. I hope everyone’s doing the best they can to take care of themselves

Hey shoutout to

People with “minor” disabilities who aren’t sure if they belong in disabled spaces

People who have rare disabilities and don’t see other people with the same disability, even in disabled spaces

People who’ve been told nothing is wrong with them even though is something clearly wrong that now feel like they’re just making stuff up

People who have been dismissed by doctors because they didn’t fit the image the doctor had of what a “sick” person looked like

People who tried to get help for their problem and are still waiting

People who have unaddressed health problems in general

Y’all are great and deserve the world!

I've been following @mycolyco on tiktok ever since their synth-playing fungus first graced my page and this cordyceps-generated synth tune has got to be the EERIEST one yet.

i think we need to talk about understimulation in adhd more. because whether i like it or not the common person sees me and thinks. oh. ur doing things you like to avoid doing things you don’t like. and it’s really not as simple as that. because things that “i like” can be so subjective. sometimes when i try to do something “i like” i feel nothing. there is no joy, i’m not happy about this in any way, and it feels like such a chore just to try and make myself do it. often times procrastination in adhd isn’t even about being lazy and having fun doing things you enjoy. it’s your mind not letting you do anything. you can’t do the thing you’re putting off and putting it off makes you feel stupid but you can’t do it you just CAN’T. and it’s so frustrating and you end up just doing nothing in particular for hours and hours and you feel like you’re wasting your existence

it's okay to slow down, or take a break. you don't need to be productive 100% of the time. you're a person outside of school / work and that person is deserving of care and rest. go easy on yourself.

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.

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.

Recognition Responsive Euphoria is a hell of a drug
