I think a lot of us would love this (x)

flappy hands are happy hands! happy autism acceptance month!!!

(inspired by Keith Haring :D!!)

gentle reminder: you’re not weak for feeling unable to cope with something. you’re not weak for being overwhelmed. you’re not weak for needing extra time. we usually don’t show these emotions to others so it’s hard to see, but you’re not alone in feeling the way you do. we can get better together.

Your kindness should always include yourself.

you’re not annoying!!! ur not annoying when u talk about what u love!! ur not annoying when u double text!!! ur not annoying when u share ur feelings or call that person or laugh at that joke!!! ur not annoying!!!!

oh haven’t you heard???? things will get better and you will be okay

you’re allowed to be angry. it does not make you a bad person. you are not a monster for feeling anger.

When I try to push through the fatigue 

Spoonies do you ever get into that zone where you’ve been an exhausted trance for hours forcing yourself to stay awake, and now you can finally go to bed except you *cant* because your body doesn’t know how to turn off the “stay awake your life depends on it” switch?

neurotypical people will never know the simple joy of rocking back and forth in place

It’s okay to have visible autistic behaviors. It’s okay to stim in visible ways, it’s okay not to look neurotypical. There is nothing wrong with you.

Even if you don't think/know that you have [disorder] (or even if you know you don't!) you're allowed to use coping strategies meant for or associated with that disorder. You can use ADHD tips for your poor memory. You can stim even if you're not autistic (stimming has a lot of overlap between disorders honestly). You can use chronic fatigue tips if you have depression. You're not stealing resources. If it helps you, it helps you, whether you were the target audience or not

#dismantling the 'but am I hurting ENOUGH?' brain voice improves the life immeasurably

Neurodivergent mood is being restless and exhausted all at once.

Reminder: Whatever disability you may have, you shouldn't be made to wait until you feel your very worst before using accommodations. If they help, use them whenever ❤

Chronic fatigue is like living paycheck to paycheck. And you are pretty sure if you just rest, or eat some food, you’ll get more energy. But it is unreliable and often you run out of energy and cannot do anything. Sometimes you don’t get a boost you were relying on and you have to cancel plans.
