I've always wondered if it's the way that I talk, and I've just learnt about what's called Stilted speech, or "pedantic speech". I need straight answers, I need to clarify this one with my therapist. I'm so unaware of how other people perceive me, it's confusing. Existence is confusing. f u c k.

Who needs a sleep paralysis demon when you have a 35kg Greyhound in winter with severe separation anxiety

It's time for the Pride Birds! #lgbt #pridemonth

Happy Pride 🌈🤍💜🩶🖤 If you only ever experience sexual attraction to people after developing a strong emotional connection with them; that's Demi-sexuality, & its on the asexual spectrum! I wasn't going to post anything but being demi certainly has its struggles & is often overlooked/misunderstood.

Whenever I physically speak with an AI, I teach it how to talk with different accents. At first it was all "I'm an AI, I can't do accents", and now it's all "how-dee pard-nah..?" It's a little shy but I'm being encouraging.

Autistic Burnout isn’t just “too much work.” It’s masking. Pain. Shame. Trying to care for everyone while no one cares for you. It’s rejection sensitivity, executive dysfunction, chronic illness, trauma. And still being told you’re “high functioning.” No wonder we break.

it's june first you know what that means? hook up with your best friend in a gay way

I wish more people understood neurodivergent meltdowns

ADHD Life Hack: Distract visitors away from the pile of dirty dishes in your kitchen, with rainbows! 🌈✨

Something my life has taught me over and over is that there's no replacement for simply feeling your own emotional experiences, with all their depth and pain. Pretty much every improvement in my life came after I began making peace with some of my emotions.

One day I might remember to take a decent photo of my finished artwork to share online before i gift it away to someone else. ..One day✨

my spotty ADHD memory means sometimes I have to actively remind myself why I am so tired, the things I have accomplished, and I own many items I would enjoy using more regularly if I put them somewhere I could *see* them

As a late dxed Autistic person I oscillate wildly between I won't let anyone tell me to shut up again, I will speak my truth, create my art, and I don't care if I'm too intense, too real, too autistic for their tastes. and I'm going to hide in this hole and hope no one ever notices me.

No one should be the “arguing type” and getting a dopamine rush from such negative actions may signal that you need some help

Tell me why autistic people are always "stubborn" and never... goal oriented driven ambitious passionate persistent consistent diligent dedicated determined focused committed dependable persevering 🤔

It's kinda sweet but also fucked up when you're both constantly apologising at each other for no good reason bc you both have irrational fears from previous relationships where just breathing a little too loudly might destroy everything. The reassurance is palpable, that's the sweet part. 🩷

Apparently neurotypical people only communicate by talking to each other's egos...? ..Is that true??? Do they really not acknowledge the true self of others unless they're trying to be cruel?? My mind is so blown my eyebrows wont go down, they refuse to rest. Holy shit.

Don't know a single person who doesn't feel tired this week, it's exhausting times for erryone 🩷

I finally finished him! ✨ am chuffed af 🐸

Whenevz I'm on my period & my hormones put on rose-tinted glasses to ruminate, I just have to remember that he believes lying & screaming at me is not only completely OK but he also whole heartedly thinks I'm entirely to blame for his shitty behaviour towards others & i deserve to be threatened👍

... Did I just hear a UFO above Melbourne? It sounded like a giant zipper in the sky, the fuck. Idk, it's probably just the sound of my neighbours bringing their bins in.

I knew that indirectly expressing a need or desire without explicitly asking for it was bad communication, but I didn't realise it was harmful to others. I'm not always good at asking for things, & Ive incorrectly assumed that I dont have too if I also don't expect for the need or desire to be met.

Theres a hack in our psychology whereby inconsistent outcomes to a specific behaviour creates an addiction to that behaviour. Not only does this tell us more about gambling but it also explains certain dynamics in relationships. (Pt 1/?)

PROGRESS its 1am tho so i should prolly finish him in the 'morrow 🐸✨

many many months ago, I started making a clay frog on a swing to hang from my lamp. he still doesn't have arms, nor a swing.. needs some paint too. Im a terrible mother, I must fix this tonight! 😭

I think people perceive me as being far more intelligent than I really am. Stop it. Thank you.

No one is ever truly broken beyond repair. Everyone deserves to love and feel loved. Be kind to yourself, forgive yourself, and love yourself.
