This is a talk for ADHDers from an NT—not more “have you tried trying??”, but instead understanding and love ❤️

AUDHD PPL!! How many of you have a lot of special interests (SI)? & do u have hyperfixations unrelated to ur SIs, or are they connected? I find that a lot of us have more SIs than non-ADHD ASDers, & more specific hyperfixationd than allistic ADHDers, so i’m curious how true it is
76%
I have more than 2 SIs
24%
I have 1-2 at a time/ever

Autism is a very wild developmental disorder. Its like the wild mushroom of disorders because you dont know what you about to get out the muthafukka.

Trauma informed & responsive care asks “What happened to you?”
Instead of
“What’s wrong with you?”
How could you shift your personal & professional (program/organizational/institutional) language, practice, processes, & policies to reflect a trauma informed/responsive ethos?

She never should have even been in a position to get killed on the job. Our elders should be taken care of, not worked to death.

Last new @unstandardizedE episode of 2023! Talking to a group of brilliant students about the way they were unfortunately mistreated at a conference when presenting on race and language. They're out there doing the work.
Enjoy, and happy holidays!

Controversial question: why is "the world is full of idiots", a common thread? Had a colleague tell me today - "I need you to defocus from people." She could see me get more and more and more frustrated the more people couldn't see what I was saying.
guy in my book who’s been evaluated for ‘every psych condition’:
“I wasn't depressed. Not anxious. I just lived with a simmering cauldron of rage and contempt for the assholes and idiots of the world, and that took up a lot of my time.”
…so they missed the autism then 👀😏
