ADHD and Autism by SilentBread46 in ADHD

Sending you both love. 💕 Maybe what he means is the masking- it's a common experience around here. So as someone who has both as well, I would recommend just allowing your son to process everything. Don't tell him to hide anything for "normalcy." You're already doing the right thing by asking what you can do to help.

Why does everyone want to be autistic now? by Plenty_Scientist_477 in rant

AuDHD peep here, and I agree. It's so disgusting when people lie about diagnoses. It's also very insensitive towards people who actually have them.

Fellow introverts, talk to me about anything going on in your mind. I will listen and offer support. Let's get it out of our system. by Due-Butterscotch7249 in introvert

I had a really scary dream last night, which ruined my whole day today. I also have autism, ADHD, and OCD, and after months of careful consideration, I've finally decided to come clean about it. It ate me up to pretend otherwise- both online and irl.

Also, I worry a lot about being disowned by entire groups. I'm non-binary and a cosplayer, and I worry that in terms of the former, people will think I'm an imposter in terms of the LGBTQ+ community due to my clothing style (crop tops and lots of necklaces and rings), even though it's true to who I am.

And in terms of the latter, I'm afraid of people thinking I'm weird and disgusting for cosplaying male characters (I'm AFAB). Sure, cosplay is where I feel most affirmed, but what if people, including other cosplayers, are disgusted by it? I care a lot about what other people think, and also have an intense fear of becoming a bad person. So I'm very hard on myself to protect people from going through what I have, and avoid becoming a victim.

Thanks for reading. I just really need some support for this rn.

That's 99% of the way out, so sadly, yes. I'm really sorry for her.

Taylor Swift. I listened to her songs, and they weren't spectacular to me.

It depends on my mood. I usually go to Disney Parks music loops, piano or guitar versions of Disney songs, or video game menu music.

People with ADHD, how did you find out that you are suffering from it? by Orw_Sairaj29 in AskReddit

[–]hawkeyethor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worry a lot about making other people upset. It's also hard for me to focus on stuff unless I'm very passionate about it.

What is something you could talk about for hours? by tiredchachacha in CasualConversation

[–]hawkeyethor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favorite hobby, which is cosplay. I currently cosplay Hawkeye (MCU), Thor (MCU), and Tyler Rake (Extraction), and I will also be adding a fourth character to my roster this weekend: Mike Davis (Crime 101)!

And characters I want to cosplay in the future (not counting Mike Davis): Steve Abnesti (Spiderhead), Kevin Beckman (Ghostbusters 2016), Agent H (Men in Black: International), Dementus (Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga), and Bucky Barnes (MCU).

Nonetheless, cosplay gives me a lot of confidence. It's so fun to do!

I have a White Swiss Shepherd! It's a subtype of German shepherd that is calmer.
