turtle

hello. you can call me turtle. this account is so I can post stuff I can't on my other accounts and it won't be traced back to me by people I know. I am probably autistic and I love drarry and goblincore so I will probably post mostly about those things :)

imagine trying out a super risky outfit ur not sure is gonna land well and on your way to the party you fall into a bog and become a bog body and in like 3,000 years they pull you out in like a pink mesh bathing suit with an applique that says “barbie girl” on the front tucked in as a body suit to a pair of track shorts that say “your card was declined” on the ass and a pair of elevated 90s gel sandals with a hitclips clipped to the strap with one cartridge (60 seconds of an nsync song) and they reconstruct you in a museum and tell the public that’s how people dressed

you are allowed to take comfort objects with you wherever you go. something being “socially unacceptable” is not a proper reason as to why you can’t.

there’s nothing wrong with taking a stuffed animal to the grocery store with you. there’s nothing wrong with taking a blanket to class with you. there’s nothing wrong with taking stim toys to a family gathering with you. there is nothing wrong with taking something that makes you feel safe with you when you go to places that normally feel unsafe. 

there are some situations where it could damage you to do these things, such as taking a comfort object to a business meeting. but other than that, don’t let neurotypicals tell you that you can’t do these things just because they wouldn’t. your comfort has nothing to do with neurotypicals’ comfort.

thank you, seriously, this makes me feel better. I often get nightmares where I have my blanket with me in public places (usually at school) and I have nowhere to hide it so I just try to hide it in my arms but it doesn’t work and basically it just gives me anxiety but it makes me feel better to be reassured that it’s okay to have my blanket in public and if I keep thinking about it this way maybe I won’t have these nightmares anymore :)

i stopped having the nightmares :)

me except I'm autistic so it could very well be me misreading the situation/tone/whatever

cleaning with ADHD is a nightmare. it’s an endless cycle of finding a half-finished chore and stopping the one you were already working on, then remembering that something else needs to be done and getting started on that, then finding half-finished chore and

[jumpingjacktrash]

i have the solution! i call it ‘junebugging’.

have you ever seen a junebug get to grips with a window screen? it’s remarkably persistent, but not very focused. all that matters is location.

how to junebug: choose the location you feel you can probably get some shit done on today. be specific. not ‘the bathroom’ but ‘the bathroom sink’. you are not choosing a range, you are choosing a center; you will move around, but your location is where you’ll keep coming back to. mentally stick a pin in it. consider yourself tethered to that spot by a long mental bungee cord.

go to your location. look at stuff. move stuff around. do a thing. get distracted. remember you’re junebugging the bathroom sink and go back there. look at it some more. do a different thing. get distracted. get a sandwich. remember you’re junebugging and go back to the bathroom sink.

nt’s will go crazy watching you, and if they demand to know When You Will Be Done you will probably have to roll them in a carpet and stuff them up the chimney. you’re done when you feel done, or you’re too bored to live, or it’s bedtime, or any number of other markers, you get to pick. but the thing is, by returning repeatedly to that one spot, you harness the ‘hyperactivity’ part instead of wasting all that energy battling with the ‘attention deficit’ part.

not only will the bathroom sink almost certainly be clean, and probably the mirror and soap dish too, you might’ve swapped in a fresh toothbrush, a new soap, you might’ve unclogged the drain – you will probably also have cleaned or fixed up several things in the near vicinity, or in the path between the sink and where you get the fresh toothbrush, or maybe you did your grocery shopping cuz you were out of soap, or maybe you couldn’t find a clean hand towel and ended up doing laundry.

this is good. you got shit done! it wasn’t necessarily Cleaned The Bathroom in the way nt’s think of it, but screw ‘em. things are better than they were.

plus you worked off enough energy to be able to sleep. which is not small potatoes when living the ADHD life. :D
