the trans struggles thread inspired me to make this

i'm nd (adhd/ddd) and i stim when i get surprised

i also stim when i'm focused

during study halls this leads to increasingly startled stims for like 4 minutes straight

it's lowkey funny ngl

anyways share ur nd struggles too!

adhd moment omg

edit: will be adding more as i think of them

- i often become what i call "no thoughts head empty" or "brain static" which is when my mind is just 100% blank. it makes wii music or microwave noises. it is an empty white room. absolutely no thoughts. nothing makes sense when i'm in this state and it's frustrating lol

- i also stim a lot like constantly. CONSTANTLY. i ALWAYS need to have some sort of stimulation.

- i often get frustrated and very very stressed easily so i will literally just sit there freaking out like FREAKING THE EFF OUT and my dad gets mad at me for it when he knows i can't help it :-|

- i physically recoil when j touch / have to feel the ice chopping board. it's so scratchy and disgusting i just ?:?$!_?'!_?!'!$?# /neg

- i sometimes cannot understand or process what is being said on tv without subtitles. EVEN IF i have seen the episode / movie countless times.

- i have tics (?????) sometimes and i usually jerk my neck / my head to the side and sometimes it hurts it's very fun (/s)

- i flap my hands as a stim very often. ESPECIALLY when i watch a video of my favorite band members or of my other hyperfixations. they just make me so happy hfjfhfhffhhfdb /pos !!!!!!!!!

- right before i got diagnosed with adhd / got tested for it my mom discovered via my teacher that she had sat me in the corner of the classroom so as not to deal with me because i was the weird one..... yeah that explained my adhd a lot. /hj

- i have recently started chewing on the collar of my shirts as a stim ?? kinda embarrassing seeing as how i'm 19 but i can't help it

omg hashtag autism.

//mentions of ableism

-i physically recoil if i touch chalk / anything that feels chalky and it hurts in my nails

-i bite at my hands and arms as a stim and cant leave my room until theyre gone because i dont want my mom 2 call me another slur (i have a chewie but it hurts my jaw if i use it for too long!!)

-my special interest is "boring". no one cares or wants to talk about ng or adobe flash.

-i have a comfort item i need with me at all times or else i can get panicky and i left it at my family members house all week

-i constantly get told "but youre too smart to be autisctic!!" wtf is that supposed to mean.

-another stim is singing and it hurts my throat but i cant stop doing it

-my mom refuses believe im autistic because "youre not [slur]" and the rest treats it likes its so horrible, so i dont have have accommodations besides the chewie (that they make fun of me for). this makes school very fun /s

-i cant pay attention without music playing in the bg and my teachers wont let me do that so im failing most of my classes

yeah very fun /s

because of my adhd I will just repeat the same phrase over and over in conversations like I'll just go oh my God to everything and because of my mood reguation disorder I will throw toddler fits when I'm mad it's so embarrassing I also get phrases where I will be reluctant to talk for weeks and when I room is loud I snap and cuss ppl out because my mind goes fuzzy

autism moment

my history teacher has a air purifier and she turns it off when someone is talking quietly because its quite loud, but when its turned off I cant get used to the sound of it not being there. so I adapt to the sound of it not being there, then she turns it on again! so now I have to adapt to that!

i have adhd and it absolutely sucks @ss

-when a room has too many repeated noises or too much noise it like overloads my brain and i get a panic attack (happens nearly everyday in my history class bc i sit next to these two dudes who can't stop making annoying noises.

-i stim when ever i get excited or i'm not moving around a lot, my most frequent one is just aggressively shaking my hands around

-too many people around me will make me curl up and cry, like literally if i'm in the store an it's a little bit too crowded i'll start crying and hide in a corner

there's more but i don't feel like listing them

I have autism, apd and adhd, and here are the things that are hardest to explain to people:

- why I CANNOT eat anything with chunks of something in it (Greek yogurt, cottage cheese)

- why I “clap” so weird (one of my happy stims is hitting the top of my wrists together, kind of looks like clapping)

- why I can’t talk when I’m stressed (nonverbal shutdown woohooooooo)

- why I can’t hear you if there are more than two people talking near us

- why I can’t hear when I’m concentrated in something (if you try to talk to me when I’m making kandi I’m sorry but I will not hear a word you say)

- why I need subtitles on tv/videos if I don’t have my headphones in

- why I need my headphones in to watch tv/videos

- why silence hurts my ears

- why I can’t wear certain textures of clothes

due to being autistic, i have a LOT of texture sensitivities regarding food, which means that there's a LOT of foods that i'm unable to eat due to the texture. i'm also vegetarian, so it ends up meaning that sometimes when/if my family goes to a restraunt, there'll be literally nothing on the menu i can eat.

also i have tics (which im pretty sure r caused by autism in my case), and several of my tics are rlly physically painful, which is fun /s

I have autism and having to explain to people why I hate textures and eat everything with forks is a classic
