What they say: we'll call you back
What autistics hear: we'll call you with no estimated time frame, for something important that will impact your life, uncertainty will skyrocket your anxiety, expecting a phone call will make you panic and freeze, you have no right to complain
ADHD plus POTS is such a fun combination.
POTS: You need to hydrate frequently!
ADHD: Let's forget water exists for 10 hours straight
Me, several hours later: why do I feel dizzy all of a sudden

seriously, this is way under-researched—if you think you have even mild #aphantasia please take this survey 🙏🏼

i’m completely tripping about #aphantasia right now bc of how much more it is than just not seeing images in my “mind’s eye”. i took this ⬇️ survey that made me realise i don’t really have any “mind” senses, nor episodic memory 😬🫨

To other autistic people, what common autistic traits do you NOT experience or relate to?
Shit memory and lack of self-awareness has me reading tweets like... Oh that's smart, makes sense!
...Wait, I wrote that 6 months ago lmfao
Being unable to socialize because your mental health is shit while simultaneously craving and needing to socialize to improve your mental health <

"You're nothing like my Autistic child."
I agree. I am not an Autistic child. I am an Autistic adult.
Life with ADHD is 1/3 sleeping, 1/3 working/studying and 1/3 recovering from the exhaustion of it all while feeling guilty for not producing/doing chores or even enjoying your hobbies during that time.
