About time to reintroduce myself, especially years of being anon on here! Hi, I'm Sam and I made having autism and ADHD my entire personality. I've been a teacher in mainstream and SPED schools and also worked on education policy over the last 8 years, which is mostly a testament to my ADHD.
I feel like when you have both autism and ADHD you end up being a kaleidoscope for people who either see your autism or your ADHD first - they rarely see both

The more professional experience I gain, the more I understand why the things I said on twitter often made people mad, no matter how much context I provided

I think the best way to describe my personal experience of social situations as an autistic is that it's like moving through a haunted house: groping on the dark, pretty sure none of it matters, still waiting anxiously for the worst to happen

I seriously need mentoring for my autistic+adhd working style.
After almost 10 years of work, I'm FINALLY understanding why chasing whatever I want to chase in the most intense fashion ends up sabotaging my career

I'm too autistic to understand that trust has nothing to do with truth

ADHD has been beating my ass a lot more these last two years like it's a lot harder to keep my thoughts straight, it's a lot harder to stay focused and the number of clerical errors in my work is too damn high

Autistic folks, would you ever "intentionally" have a meltdown to get something you want?
My colleague seem to think this is possible but I'm like I wouldn't even wish a meltdown on my worst enemy lol

The autistic dilemma of whether I want to be aloof and terrifying or outgoing and appear so naive that I cam be taken advantage of

I feel like all the wires for socialising that came loose during autistic burnout have kind of reconnected, finally. But it sucks because currently I'm just socially aware of how much I suck at human interaction and haven't quite relearnt how to connect with other human beings lol

You know you have ADHD when you have been taking ADHD meds for something like 7 years but you've only just calculated for the first time that your meds cost you 2.5k a year

I don't fully understand other folk at work. Is it largely a thing that people don't have room to pushback, ask questions and negotiate with higher ups?
Because I simply cannot function that way regardless of which role I'm playing

I've been away from social media for quite a bit and it's been great. Not entirely related but reflecting on my work persona and realising the extent to which I absolutely do not connect with people and wondering how I could possibly be anything but autistic

It turns out that everytime in the past I was behaving "unprofessionally" it was because I was being taken advantage of and reacting appropriately, but also being autistic and getting confused by people's reactions to the situation

Maybe I've sort of figured out how to use my autistic traits to navigate workplace politics, although some strategies need refinement and aren't without drawbacks

I'm so irritated by my errors this term that I'm gonna set up like twenty different excel sheets to automatically cross check my own information

I became an urban cyclist because ever since I was a little girl it’s been my dream to be murdered by a driver of a Nissan Altima with a 120 month car loan

I was genuinely afraid that Nathan would buy the broken 737 with bird nests and missing seats and make his actors fly in them

Something that really annoys me in Last of Us is the way they move around by walking in the middle of the road, which is like the least tactical way they could position themselves

Am I saying that following Nathan's fake airport being used to help autistic kids get used to air travel, there should be a lot more HBO money going to build sets for more autistic scenarios?
I wanna joke and say no, but mostly I want to say yes lol

I'm leaning towards putting my autism advocacy on pause because I'm finding that I really get quite a lot of ableism even without declaring my diagnoses that openly
