Tomorrow is my high school graduation ceremony, and for months I have been worrying about it because I know I won’t like it. My class has over 700 kids in it and I’m friends with about 5 people, 4 of which I see weekly and 1 who has other friends they…
So for context I'm currently diagnosed with ADHD, but I just feel like that isn't enough to capture what I'm going through. I have all the DSM-5 autism symptoms, so if I really pushed for it then I could probably get diagnosed, but another part of my mind…
Does anyone else just always walk around feeling decent but then almost always get told by someone that “you look so sad” or “you look depressed” and then it just ruins your mood It’s hard to socialise with people when their first impression of you is…
"Fidget toys are ridiculous. ADHD and autism didn’t exist back in my day.” Oh yeah? That’s because we had: - clicking pens - chewing pencils - speaking into fans - peeling Elmers off our hands - rubbing that broken shirt seam - drawing the cool S - bouncy…
After 12 of what felt like the worst years of my life, I'm finally finished with school. I'm graduating tomorrow off of a pretty close call. After what felt like decades and a millennium, I'm finally getting out of here, and by God it feels good.…
Me and my family suspect I have low-level autism, but one of my major struggles with this is hygiene and self care. I don’t shower unless my parents say to, and it’s even rarer that I brush my teeth.…
To preface this, I don't expect that I'm the only person here who finds a lot of my own suffering quite humorous sometimes, despite it not being funny from most points of view. If that may upset you then this post isn't for you, you have been warned.…
As I've gotten older and being single, I've realised that I can only really feel relaxed and at peace when I live in my own space, completely alone with my cats.…
I keep seeing well-intentioned posts trying to reassure people that nobody really knows what they are doing and that nobody gets anything perfect. But… I’m just not convinced. Because that’s not how people have reacted to me throughout my life.…
I’m honestly completely devastated by this. I moved to a different state so we pretty much only game together, but we talk pretty much every week. He’s much better at video games than I am. Sometimes we both trash talk.…
Sometimes I’ll come across a TikTok of people eating some YUMMY looking food and I get excited cause I wanna see people review food and see if it lives up to its visual rating in my head.…
For me, I would say eating the same every day without getting tired. Eliminates thinking about daily menu. submitted by /u/Awkward_Kitty_Cat_93 [link] [comments]
I am not cold or mean. I am actually nice. I do smile when appropriate. I even have genuine smiles, and I like to have a genuine laugh. But geez, with people in person, 98% of the time, it’s so forced. Too much labor on my cheeks.…
I don't really understand it personally since I am a cis autistic woman and have always been confident in my identity and womanhood. If this is rude to ask someone can tell me 😊 I know a lot of autistic people who identify as trans men (so female to…
It's not the autistics doing this, it's the NT's. I'm seeing posts about how autism is a trend, and it's being over diagnosed and "look at all the women trying to get diagnosed with Audhd" First off, a lot of adult women are getting diagnosed later in…
I’ll start from the beginning. I (20F) was supposed to leave for a vacation to the beach with my family tomorrow. I absolutely love traveling, it’s one of my special interests. I woke up today so excited to go.…
So I have to do some chores today- none of them are complicated - I’ve got to return a hoover to the shop, post some parcels and take the bins out & do some other household chores. But I can’t like bring myself to do any of them?…
Always have to follow some unspoken code, always supposed to suck it up, always have to get out of my comfort zone to the point of never actually staying in it.…
