How have people used your neurodivergence against you?
Ex. I have issue with memory and audio processing issues, but most of the time I’ll understand what was said and remember it well enough, just a little later.

As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

Upside down. The contamination is contained. 😅
I feel like causing chaos today, so do you store your cups:
Right side up (exposed to bugs and dust)
or

Just have to share this book I’m reading. It’s brilliant, to the point, and so encouraging.
I’ve had a really hard time coming to terms with my ADHD dx. It’s partly because I still don’t quite understand what it all means and how it flows with and against my autistic brain.

It snowed today! Days like this remind me why I love Canadian weather. Living here feels like a dream. ❄️
On the one hand, as a Brit I love watching snow fall and embrace the winter vibes. On the other, my lungs and throat absolutely hate it in every way 😂❄️

My family home teams have won World Series’s over the years (US teams). This would’ve been my first Canadian win as the first in the family to move here. I’ll rub it in their faces soon enough 🥰💙
This is training for their actual win that will come. The Blue Jays are the best!!!!!!

I’m so angry about this—killing these gorgeous bats for trinkets. Learn some f*cking felting skills if you want your own fuzzy creature and leave nature alone!
Tell Amazon: Stop the trinket trade with the painted woolly bat! action.eko.org/a/painted-wo...
Save the painted woolly bats
UPDATE: eBay has banned the sale of painted woolly bats on its platform! Now let's keep up the pressure to make sure Amazon follows suit.------Painted woolly bats are selfless little forest guardians,

I’ve been on such a health kick of late, just updating and upgrading my routines - still not absolutely perfect but definitely way better. I haven’t touched a bag of Lays in months.
I had one just now. It didn’t hit like I’d hoped. I think I’m low on riboflavin. 😔

A really brilliant episode on RSD (Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria).
I have RSD and I’m learning how to cope. It’s strange as I’d only learned about it after dx and in therapy. Thought I’d share as I’m still figuring things out.

One thing I absolutely love as a Brit living in Canada is hearing Canadians swear. It’s lovely. They hold back so hard all day that it’s like sweet morning dew misting on my ears when they finally let it out.
