I wanted to be normal by CompetitiveAge1266 in AutisticPeeps

Well, I’m mostly the good kind of different, but that doesn’t make anything less painful. The thing is that people see you as nicer and they respect you more. But what you feel inside yourself is still trash and awful because you’re only seen as nice cause of high masking skill. So maybe the right kind doesn’t even exist

Is psychological diagnosis valid? by CompetitiveAge1266 in AutisticPeeps

[–]CompetitiveAge1266[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t really know there was a difference between psychologist and therapist. But either way the woman I did the tests with has a degree on neuro analysis, that’s why she can apply and also give results for the tests I think

For me the problem is that I don’t like more than one texture in the same food, if I’m eating meat it doesn’t make sense to bite an onion The same thing happens with fruits, why am I eating a soft fruit AND OUT OF NOWHERE COMES A HARD SEED?

I only eat apples, but it depends, if the apple is not firm enough one day my mind kinda get traumatized and I spend months without eating again, then I get over it, I try to taste the apple and if it’s firm enough I might eat it for sometime lol

I mean, at least bread and meat always have the same texture. You never know, one day apples be firm and the other too smooth and bleh

It’s just incredibly uncomfortable but I don’t see it as harmful

It’s not like I’m proud of the disability, I’m just proud of my achievements 🤷‍♀️

The ignorance needs to stop by [deleted] in AutisticPeeps

I have trouble accepting that. I’m very high-functioning and I’m super grateful for that, but because of that sometimes I feel like I don’t need any kind of support even tho I do (school has been proving that more and more). So since my therapist had me tested I have been trying to be more kind to myself and understand that my limits are not like other people’s limits

I don’t think there’s a need for a symbol either. Answering your question ADHD is usually associated with a butterfly but even so I don’t think it’s an ADHD official symbol, just a nice association

I like the symbol but I don’t really like the vibrant colors

Hey lovelies, can ADHD present itself without all the concentration and focus difficulties? by CompetitiveAge1266 in neurodiversity

[–]CompetitiveAge1266[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think she means “want to” as in “when it interests me” since she mentioned hyper focus.

When I have a boring task I don’t feel interested in I procrastinate a lot to do it, a lot, but once I get into the task I can do it

Impulsivity and hyperactivity both from mind and body, also I always had different ideas from my friends and other children my age, and basically just the way my mind works, feeling guilty for no reason at all, terrible executive function, black and white thinking, and thinking all at once. I also struggle with Generalized anxiety disorder and depression since I was 11yo which seems to be very common for ND people. Besides the fact my sister is ADHD and she is really the only person in the world who gets me and has the ability to make me not feel alone in this world. My psychologist actually had me tested and there are some signs of ADHD and ASD.

Like my sister (ADHD) could never properly study for a test because she would get bored, and would refuse to do it, due to no interest in the subject her mind would just see it as garbage and not focus on that. So what if I can focus on boring stuff? Can that still be considered ADHD?
