I saw this list of asexual book recs retweeted and thought people here might find it interesting.

This.
This is why people who stay in my life are neurodiverse like me!
"I'm not lazy, I'm just tired. and I don't mean because I've been working hard. Not at all. I'm tired from forcing myself to get out of bed everyday. I'm tired of distracting myself from the thoughts in my brain. I'm tired because all my energy is put to surviving and people don't understand that because all they see is how unproductive you are."
— depression is a disease and it's tiring
when reality feels off
- leaving the theater after watching a movie
- looking up from reading a book and realizing where you are
- any place that’s open 24 hours (bonus: going to said place in the early hours and hearing both “good evening” and “good morning”)
- playgrounds at night
- arriving for an early morning flight and seeing a deserted airport with most of the shops closed
- dead malls with decor that hasn’t changed since the 90s
- motels of any kind
- stopping at a gas station at night in the middle of nowhere while on a road trip
- grocery stores in small towns
- places meant for children’s birthday parties (especially if you went there as a kid and are now older)
- little doors and attics in your house
Now I’m stuck with this heart break.
