The neuroaffirmative movement replaced one narrative with another. The old one said defective. The new one says pure. Neither contains a full person. New essay on why the purity myth denies autistic people their right to complexity, and why Jung’s shadow work applies to communities, not only to individuals. https://medium.com/@christian.gajewski/why-innocence-is-autism-advocacys-gentlest-cage-afe28af2b4cc #Autism #Neurodiversity #AuDHD #MentalHealth #Jung #actuallyautistic

Hope you're well today. TL;DR is I'm trying to raise $30. Cashapp: $mrecon54 Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ottercynical I'm a painfully neurodivergent and chronically unemployed pan nb, a father to twins, and trying to get on my feet. Today I'm trying to gather up about $30 for some supplements that help with my major depression disorder and anxiety. I'm on hard times and haven't been able to secure a job in many months, and have gotten by on the charity of family and the kindness of others, but have little for myself. I post here because I appreciate the Mastodon community. I'll forever remember and be thankful if you are willing to lend me your support. I also take gameplay requests (at no cost). Every penny goes directly toward surviving. My handles are below. Pic is my dog, Biscuit. Thank you for hearing me out.

Being misunderstood, thought of as [endless negatively applied things but Including rude And a troublemaker and sarcastic and trying to bait or shame people] when simply wanting more information and clarity, and to learn about things, IS GODS DAMNED EXHAUSTING and so disheartening. I don't want to make anyone feel poorly. Certainly not the ways I feel most of the time just for trying to exist, make connections, make sense of things. Hell yeah I'm crying AND angry AGAIN. Welcome to Me. Don't touch anything. Take a book, leave a snack.

@dbattistella@mstdn.ca I no longer have any doubts that I am #AuDHD. If this shower thing is legit, then I have found my tribe. Every single time it feels like an ordeal… and every single time I tell myself afterwards, “That actually wasn’t so bad. Why do we make a big deal about it every time?” 🤨😅

Laundry (and all of the stress, energy expenditure, mental pressures, gymnastics and associated costs of it, especially for those with executive functioning dysfunctioning...) is only a thing because of clothing. Don't wear clothes = don't have laundry problems. Issue solved. Sincerely, though, this is just one of many aspects specific to modern living which aren't necessary for human life. I wonder how I'd function - better, worse, same - if the common struggle of laundry were removed. Other examples of society which bring [Me at least] unnecessary stress, struggle, and, more often than not, to meltdown: paperwork phone calls, cycling automated and live services traffic appliances lawn and other equipment motors MONEY and CAPITALISM Tah. #struggles #AuDHD #Debilitation #executiveDysfunction #unnecessaryforexistence #ASD #AutisticActually #ActuallyAutistic #OutlandishThoughtsButAreThey

One day before an assessment of my bagpipe performance skills and theory knowledge (a prerequisite for teaching certification) and I am going full-on AuDHD. PDA Rehearsing failure Mono-focusing Being grumpy and annoyed at my utterly innocent and thoughtful partner for things I normally love him for. Shallow breathing, upset stomach, hyper-arousal of all senses (tried to eat one of my favourite meals today and the smell of the pre-cooked ingredients made me almost vomit), inability to relax… I want it to be over NOW. Then after the exam, I’ll be fine, I will miss the hyper-focus time, I will start thinking about what I can do NEXT that will be complex, intense, and challenging, and I will be full of energy. Did I mention this is the last commitment I made before having a silent heart attack? I have declared my retirement, started the admin to close my business, and I don’t know if I will actually want to teach. But I have been working toward this milestone for 2.5 years, through medical diagnoses, business insanity, and the *waves hands* state of the world. I just want to get it finished and be able to say I saw it through and did my best. It’s honestly the hardest thing I’ve ever done. Bagpipes are the most bonkers complex instrument to learn to play if you actually want to learn all about them. So when I’m done, tomorrow at noon my time, I’m gonna be pretty pleased with myself. And exhausted. And feeling free for the first time in decades. But right now I’m just not fun to be around. Especially to myself. Ugh. Kudos to all my neurokin for finishing really difficult things you start. #AuDHD #ActuallyAutistic #Bagpipes #Music

About neurodivergent relationships, trauma and cat videos Hover or focus to reveal Sensitive

Many, probably most AuDHD people experience rejection, emotional abuse, trauma, have CPTSD. When it comes to neurodivergent relationships, there's this moment when we start to open up, when we want to be close to another person. That makes us vulnerable, past experiences, thoughts, feelings rise to the surface. And even if we did inner work, even if we are not completely aware of it, don't want it, we feel the need to protect ourselves, become defensive, lash out. Some time ago I watched a series of videos about traumatized foster kittens. The woman who took care of them, had an older cat, who slowly approached them, slowly gained their trust. The little kittens were aggressive, but she stayed calm and slowly, carefully moved closer to the kitten until it calmed down, accepted the closeness, started to feel safe. In my experience we can be like these cats for each other. Staying calm, validating the struggles, the feelings of the other person, slowly gaining their trust. And when this is mutual, love starts to grow. #ActuallyAutistic #AuDHD #neurodivergent @autistics@fedigroups.social

@KatyElphinstone@mas.to exactly this!!! I spent 25 years of my life thinking something was fundamentally wrong with me, and that I was born a broken person (I remember feeling this way as early as 4 years old even!) Turns out I am not broken, just different. My brain works exactly the way it's supposed to, and I deserve to find ways to support myself and my brain.
