Chaotic Neurodivergent Community

I just saw a post that explains how this meme format is racist and has origins as a mockery of indigenous culture.

Apologies for not knowing about or realizing this before. I'm white so I don't think I have the right to have an opinion or objection about this. Please let me know if I'm doing or promoting anything hurtful!

Please reblog this version so more people can know!

im expecting a lot of "pride month is over, now it's time for wrath month" posts. that's cool and all. but july is disability pride month.

pride month is when you're SUPPOSED to be angry. it's a celebration AND a riot. that was the best time to get angry. second best time is now. but it's not wrath month. let disabled people have this.

please get angry with us. please fight with us! we are both losing our rights, if we ever even had them to begin with. please don't talk over us, especially during our own pride month.

did you know over 10,000 people die a year while waiting to be told whether or not they can receive disability benefits?

did you know while being provided disability benefits, disabled people cannot have more than $2,000 total in their bank account? the average rent for an apartment in the united states, as of last month, is $1,995. per month.

while they want to kill queer people, they want to kill disabled people just as bad. please look out for your disabled friends and family. please look out for those of us who don't have friends and family. those of us who are out on the streets.

babygirl I'm bothered by noises you wouldn't even hear

wrote this about sensory issues but people relating because of hallucinations or tinnitus or anything else I am shaking your hand in solidarity if you are comfortable with that

idk what traumatized or mentally ill person needs to hear this but dreams (especially the really disturbing ones you dont want to talk about to anybody) arent some deep peek into your psyche or a sign of your True Desires or whatever theyre quite literally your brain making fruit salad with whatever it can find on the shelf. just putting all that shit in a blender and hitting obliterate. its fine, youre fine, youre not a weirdo for it

When I don't understand my friend's hyperfixation but I'm still here to support them

I have empathy I swear

But if you accused me of insincerity I don't know what I'd say

u guys know sexuality gender and the way u feel attraction can change right. u know you can put labels on and off right. nothing is solid swim a little if you like etc

normalize saying "it was a phase, mom". in a way that doesn't take away that it was real.

this should go without saying but this is also especially true if you identified as ace and then suddenly you're head over heels in sexy romantic love. or if you were bi and then are suddenly feeling hetero feelings only. there's nothing shameful about that. maybe it was real, maybe you we're figuring things out - that's for you to know only.

I think we need more radical acceptance that some people dislike us for reasons that make sense for their life experience. and we need to do this in a way that doesn't paint us as misunderstood victims because the fact of the matter is everyone is annoying to someone. you can't avoid that. and if someone is annoyed by you they aren't wrong about you being annoying and unlikable to them. the sooner we accept this the sooner we accept ourselves. we don't even like ourselves most of the time so why should we expect other people to uncritically enjoy every aspect of us regardless of our own internal struggle with our own extreme contrasts

i hope all polyfrag system who are RAMCOA survivors and all polyfrag systems who aren't RAMCOA survivors and polyfrag systems who aren't sure wether or not they're RAMCOA survivors have a good day and know they're all equally as valid

Trying to explain anything when you have adhd

It's the 'hear me out' that gets me

What i like even more is Jerma actually does have adhd and will explain it sometimes on stream

autistic urge to say the truth even when it is not necessary or people were just joking <<<

Having autism is like

Having ADHD is like

Having both Autism and ADHD is like

Awesome thing my friend said to me today: Don’t apologize for taking medicine.

And she’s right! It’s not my fault I need meds; and I should be able to carry them with me and take them when I need it, whether that be in the middle of a restaurant, or a bookstore, or a car, or wherever else. Taking meds is okay, and we don’t need to apologize for needing them.

you can be kind and still have strong boundaries in place.

you dont need to prove to the world why youre worth existing

subtitles should be on automatically. people who don’t want them should have to turn them off
