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 🙏🏼 edgehillpsychology.eu.qualtr…

"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.
