So much “advice” I’ve received over the years, from teachers, colleagues, employers, family, has functionally boiled down to some variant of these:
“Just be less autistic.”
“Just be less ADHD.”
“Just be more well-adapted to the society you were born into.”
“Just care more about things you don’t care about, and less about the things you do.”
“Just do the things you find hard, that I don’t. It’s easy!”

The Carnivore diet is scientifically and medically supported for all of the Neurodivergent.
I think this knowledge SHOULD be common wisdom. No matter your issues. Mine were anxiety, autoimmune, chronic fatigue, and Burnout that rendered me unemployable.
It works for lots of things we should not be suffering from. Looking since 2016, getting better since 2019.

My dear AuDHD / ADHD / autistic fellows, do you have any experience with "mindfulness"? You know, the stuff where whole books exist about being in the moment, breathing, etc.? I don't yet know much about it and before I deep-dive into it, I want to know from you!
Is it useful? Or is it just another thing that seems to be advice from neurotypicals for neurotypicals?

🇵🇸🏴☠️ J'ai un #hack contre la procrastination dans l'hygiène pour les #TDAH #ADHD !
Perso, j'ai souvent du mal à me motiver pour mon hygiène perso (prendre une douche, faire ma toilette les jours sans douche, me brosser les dents, jeter les déchets au fur et à mesure...).
🔸 Pour cela je pense uniquement à la satisfaction que ces gestes me procureront une fois terminés. Et non pas au fait d'avoir à faire de telles tâches, ce qui devient de facto bloquant.
Par ex, quel plaisir d'avoir une haleine fraîche, d'avoir un intérieur sain, de se sentir frais à la sortie de la douche.
☝️ Je ne dis pas que c'est un remède miracle, mais ça peut stimuler.

Please share, if you can? I'm so deeply sorry & embarrassed. I'm desperate and not doing well without my medications. 😖

#AuDHD projects are always like that: yes, I have a system, but I don’t have enough patience to follow it meticulously enough for it to end up as ordered and perfect as I imagined it in my head - so the result is always disappointing me or leaving me irritated with myself for not being able to follow my own instructions

Being AuDHD makes it so hard to keep to basic daily routines when the context they reside in suddenly changes.
In theory, my routines could be almost the same right now as before. But I’m deeply thrown off by a change around me, even though this change was planned and I’m prepared.
It’s like my internal map broke - the one that guides me through each day showing me all the waypoints. Need to figure out where I am and make a new map... recalibrate.
Usually takes me at least 2 nights to adjust. The morning after that second night should feel MUCH more comfortable.
I’m noticing I’m feeling embarrassed sharing this, too. 😔 I don’t know why. It’s just AuDHD stuff. I’ve only known I’m AuDHD for a few years though. Somehow I still think I can power on through (doesn’t work) or magically snap out of it (haha!)

It kinda makes logical the overlap between #autism and #adhd
Also, to me personally it’s interesting that it mentions connections between cortex and deeper regions, because in my teens, I had a bunch of encephalograms, and they said that I have irregular cortex - subcortex connections with increased cortex control, and I now wonder if those things are related

Any other ND folk vibing this? 😆
One of the saddest things to witness online is people going back and forth between identifying as ADHD or autistic because of descriptions of the experience and doubting because of "clinical", extreme or one-sided descriptions.
It's especially sad, when people seem to develop a mental block to understanding themself and connecting with others because of it.

I done blogged again. Sorry.
This one's about masking. Specifically, why I think the discourse around it is a bit one-sided. Some of my masks are genuinely useful. Some of them I actively like. The entertainer one in particular has been putting in a shift lately.

Ok, I think this one is a stretch, but I have to ask.
Are you an #autistic / #AuDHD bald man in the northern hemisphere, who wears a hat indoors as the weather moves towards winter?
I know everyone is different, but pls, recommend a comfy, not too warm hat that my sensory sensitivities can cope with. I live in Scotland, so has to be something I can easily get here or online from a UK/ EU based retailer.
I don’t get on with stiff labels and seams and absolutely do not enjoy or use real wool at all.
lol 😂

**New this week**: some great new maps - nicely labelled - were contributed by @Catwoman69y2k , which can be seen here:
https://docs.autis.toque.im/#map/
Haven’t been on here much. Feeling a bit numb after a huge day yesterday - photos in the park of the bride & groom of 75 years ago, their 2 children, 5 of their 7 grandchildren, 5 of their 6 great grandchildren, partners , an ex-partner, my kids & son’s partner… restaurant lunch, pub, quiet walk, another pub…
Driven by ADHDers in overdrive…
People ranging in age from 94 - 7, 1 physically disabled from birth, 1 diagnosed autistic, a few diagnosed ADHD, a truckload of undiagnosed ND, 1 trans woman, 1 non-binary, and lots & lots of affection, humour, respect…
Hello Neurospicy* friends. Are you someone who finds you need calming sounds/music to help with overwhelm?
I recommend BBC Radio 3 Unwind. 24 hours a day of the calmer, relaxed classical music. Available on BBC Sounds from almost any device.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/live/bbc_radio_three_unwind
If you're in the UK, you can also access a massive number of old programmes from BBC Radio 3 Unwind.
Listeners outside the UK can only listen to the live broadcast.
For anyone with either #ASD or #ADHD (anyone #Neurodivergent, really): do you experience sensory issues related to the length of your fingernails?

There’s a woman behind me on this flight who keeps talking to her partner like he’s stupid and the tone is soooo triggering. Boy it’s bringing up deep shit I don’t want to deal with while my son is sleeping on my lap on a plane. @autistics
