y'all, there's a very real chance I'm going to need to get out of the US soon

their war on autistic kids is terrifying

Trump has already said trans people are next

I wish more people understood how dangerous things are right now

help

It's just like that.

"A 2005 study suggested that up to 44% of people with ADHD had comorbid (i.e. coexisting) RLS, and up to 26% of people with RLS had confirmed ADHD or symptoms of the condition"

I was absolutely exhausted this afternoon after I finished all my tasks around two. I completely passed out on the couch for 2 1/2 hours.

I’m just about to go to bed now. I want to take my nighttime pills & discovered that I hadn’t taken my hormones or #ADHD meds this morning.

so I guess I know why I passed out.

If stories about disruption & stress upset you, stop right now.

So the cats & I have retreated to the front room. George represents my ADHD side, anxious but also wanting to know what’s going on out there. Fred represents my autistic side, happy to retreat to the front room while a team of tradies makes a racket outside.

My neurotypical (SARCASM) partner is doing & getting stuff done all at once after tears of not doing much maintenance. The handyman was going to start yesterday, but put it off until today. (Good Friday! I doubt these guys are getting holiday rates…)

The outdoor furniture has been shifted into the living room, the pot plants and other stuff into the garage, and the raised area of the deck has already been dismantled, prior to levelling it & leaving room for a site for a new heat pump HWS. Power tools have been used. Deck will be resurfaced another day.

Had no idea this was happening today.

After a cry in a small dark pantry, I’m now recovering from initial shock in the front room.

I will retreat to the park soon.

I think partner hired this guy because he reflected partner’s own ADHD. Partner has 3 speeds. Stopped, slow & frantic.

I was okay here, but now they’re on the balcony above where balcony railing needs to be replaced.

Effin hell.

I feel like this is me, at least a few times a week.

I know for some of us ADHDers, self-care can be a challenge.

So I’m sharing that I’m making myself breakfast with protein in it because it helps my days go better.

Because it’s food with protein (obviously)

But it also means I’m being present/conscious about considering my self as important.

I’m celebrating it for the times it’s hard to do it.

You aren’t alone.

@actuallyautistic Ummmm... Level 2 #Autist with #ADHD over here. I've have the same job for over 20 years and have been married for 16. I even know how to use the bathroom and have written short stories, plays and poems! Oh, and I did receive my refund check from the IRS (damn, I will miss paper checks!).

RFK JR. said today that children with autism will face a lot of "nevers" in their lives, including never holding a job and never going on a date.

"RFK Jr.'s wild claim went further than just saying kids with autism will never have a job or fall in love, as according to him, they won't be able to play sports, write creatively, or use the bathroom unattended either. 'These are kids who will never pay taxes, they'll never hold a job, they'll never play baseball, they'll never write a poem. They'll never go out on a date. Many of them will never use a toilet unassisted,' RFK Jr. said.

'Disgusting' RFK Jr slammed for saying autistic kids 'will never have a job or fall in love'

Autism is not a disease but hate is.
Autisitic people are not tearing families apart, but many christians are.

We are not the problem and we don't need to be cured.

This song feels very relatable right now.

#ADHD meds are great, they allow me to focus on just one intrusive thought at a time

git commit -p

This lil bro is the #ADHD friend.

And this is why I always use Google maps when leaving my town.

So partner, who still think he’s neurotypical, has three speeds - stopped, slow and frantic. Home maintenance has been in the first 2 speeds for years. He now has 2 projects of his own on the go, 2 tradies organised, & getting quotes on 3 more jobs. House & garden are a mess. I’ve been holed up in a room wfh, but finish that project this week. Then I will emerge… & melt.
