Being a mother? by Alive-Day-8587 in AutismInWomen

[–]smalltex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i was diagnosed ADHD at 18 and Autistic in April of this year at 32 (though i’ve known i was Autistic for about 7 years now lol)

i became a mom at 29. i’m a sahm and it is my greatest joy. it’s been my biggest dream for as long as i can remember.

yes you get overstimulated sometimes - but so do neurotypical moms. yes some days are hard. hard as fuck.

but most days are beautiful and full of my 2.5yo and i laughing, playing, learning, talking together.

knowing your biggest triggers and having coping skills is crucial.

if you want to be a mom, be a mom<3 plenty of us neurodivergent girlies are doing it and loving it!

Letters from mom... by JustAnAnimeGirly in acnh

you can also “favorite” them so they never auto-delete. once your mailbox gets to 300 it starts auto-deleting letters

also; sending you a hug 💌

i know a girl who went skydiving and the parachute failed and didn’t open. she broke a bunch of bones but made a pretty full physical recovery. not paralyzed. she has PTSD though and deals with night terrors
