The funny thing about figuring out youre neurodivergent is looking through your family and starting to notice youre definitely not the only one
This post got way more attention than I thought it would
Really interesting reading people talking about their neurodivergent family members
I’m a recently graduated therapist so I don’t have the most experience in this, but I can tell you. The amount of teens I see who I end up screening for ADHD/ASD & referring…I was originally taught to ask parents if they notice any eccentric, rigid, impulsive, or inattentive behaviors at home that are developmentally out of place.
Then later I realized I shouldn’t be asking the parents, because they usually don’t view those behaviors as any of those adjectives because they do the same sorts of things. So now every screening of a kid or teen also usually ends up becoming a screening of the parent(s) too.
And as someone who’s been diagnosed with ADHD for ten years (and probably has autism too), I have to be the weird messenger to these parent(s). Like, “yes, it is frustrating to procrastinate things you want to do and enjoy doing! However, the council has informed me that this is not a common and universal experience and is, in fact, A Symptom.”
Definitely doing a little working-through of the realization that the rages I thought I was causing in my mother as a kid were, in fact, probably sensory-overload meltdowns having very little to actually do with me.
i don’t understand a single sentence in this and i’m ok with that
I haven’t stopped saying “it’s called quantum jumping, babe”
I would genuinely like to know who to blame for making these children so disconnected from the concept of imagination that they think the simpler explanation for what they’re doing is that they’re projecting their consciousness into one of infinite realities where fictional characters are real.
People need to get over this phase of abandoning fandoms so fast. There are 70 year old women still into Spirk and you people can’t hold onto a man for a month. Shape up and stop abandoning your gently used blorbos in wet cardboard boxes on the side of the highway after a week
i was at karaoke tonight and some ppl sang a song with the lyrics "we got married in a fever (hotter than a pepper sprout)" and i was like I KNOW THAT PHRASE
i know it from your fic
i thought you made it up
Of course I didn’t make it up! That’s from Jackson, as made famous by Johnny Cash and June Carter! Actually, all of the titles in that series are song lyrics!
But seriously, this ask made my night, so thank you!
