Does anyone know of any formal medical descriptions of how autists use language, & how we differ from NTs in this way? I have searched everywhere, & can't find anything.
We think and speak differently, but no formal recognition.

As I gradually see past my own gullibility, it seems our #ND community is an oasis of #honesty & #decency* in the barren desert of NT-world. Am I right, or just getting old?

I have #autism (formal dx) and #ADHD (self dx). But I can't seem to separate the two. What are the differences between them? Or do they just blur into one another? Can anyone help?

hey, hi!
i'm looking for resources that might help in a neurotypical + neurodivergent relationship. something the NT (and ND) can educate themselves with and something the ND can use to better communicate their needs and how their brain works to their loved ones.
ADHD is a given, autism is not/(but possible, and there's a lot of overlap). so ideally these resources would be somewhat generalized so it doesn't seem like "okay so you're saying you're autistic?"
thank you!

As I come to understand my #autism better (I was only diagnosed 7 years ago, aged 63), I realise I have lived a hopelessly innocent and naive life.
I have always tried to live my actual real life trying to be decent (etc). I thought everyone did the same. What a fool I have been.

@actuallyadhd friends, what does finishing a task *feel* like?
All I get is vague relief of one less worry, with mild foreboding that more must be done anyways
People with more ADHD (diagnosis) clue. Are there any noticeable downsides to a formal ADHD diagnosis with regard to discrimination and more?
I'm asking since for Autism there can be some significant cases where having a formal diagnosis is a problem, but it seems to me to be not an issue in the same way for ADHD.
I mostly care about Ireland / EU, but if people have information from other locations I'm interested in that too.
PS. Not that I think it makes a difference, but I'm not asking for myself in this case.
Ok #AskingADHD #ActuallyADHD @actuallyadhd
Favorite recipes for low mental effort meals? Examples welcome for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks

around your ADHD treatment and support?
4. Do you have any specific thoughts or experiences about any of the following:
- Dietary adjustments for ADHD
- Mind-body practices
- Neurofeedback
- Psychotherapy for ADHD
- Any other ADHD treatment
Is this a 'thing', or is it just a joke? It seems to ring true to me...?

While I sincerely value how my #neurodivergent brain so deeply & fully engages with anything I encounter...
...sometimes I REALLY envy the ability to engage with many things simultaneously on a surface level
(Like, for example, be able to stay semi-active on Mastodon while writing a research-intensive article instead of having to ghost out entirely in order to focus 
)
Any fellow #ActuallyAutistic / #ADHD folks able to do this?
Hi friends! I have another article to write. The topic is ADHD-ers sharing our experience of what it is like existing as an ADHD-er. Need to send questions to about five folks about their stories.
You can reply here or submit a contact form: https://resiliencymentalhealth.com/contact/ and I'll send questions.
I would need responses by 2/15. Any takers?

Whenever I drink #coffee it just makes me TIRED.
Yet I inexplicably keep trying...hoping for that mythical "energy boost" I've heard tell of.
Any other #ADHD #AuDHD #ActuallyAutistic #neurodivergent folks out there experience this with #caffeine ?
I'm reading the book "ADHD 2.0" and they have this list of what to look for in your #work environment (for it to be #ADHD friendly).
Whelp...as someone who works for and by myself...I guess I AM the problematic workplace ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

How do you create a #neurodiversity friendly #WorkFromHome workplace for yourself?

#AskingAutistics #AskingADHD If you ran a neurodiversity bar, what would it be called and what would be in there to make some neuroinclusive nightlife?
@autismsupsoc on the other app had The Rabbit Hole as a name, and also I'm liking the name Sidequests Bar & Grill as an AuDHD neuropub where making friends post-college is easy as vibing over Special Interests at the infodump couches, teaming up on a Lego sculpture in between sips of your Three Drinks flight, or playing with cats in the cat room

I have a hard time with eating with the change of clock. My body knows what time it is. I feel hungry one hour early. It's not ideal for lunch.
The clocks will show a different time after capitalism.
Any other AuDHDers (or Autistics or ADHDers) here who struggle to cope with the change of clocks? 
What effect does it have on you, and how do you cope?
I’m not too bad with it (though I don’t particularly like it), but it really affects my gf
Searching online yields two kinds of result (mostly):
1. Parents saying it disrupts their Autistic children’s routines
2. Opinion columns about the change that miss the point, suggesting changing the clocks is actually responsible for changes in daylight etc. 
Anyway, Daylight Saving Time is something we should do away with when we abolish capitalism 
#AskingAutistics #AskingADHD Say that someone close to you is in education school and wants to really understand #neurodiversity concepts so as a teacher or principal they can recognize ableist bullying and make the school more neuroinclusive (YES!)
What resources (books, blogs, podcasts, classes) would you recommend they check out?
Btw if you're said neuroinclusive-educator-in-the-making, let's be friends! I'm happy to talk abt my experiences as an #ActuallyAutistic student!
