Actually not the direction I was wanting to go, but that helps me see where I need to clarify things.
I get the resistance to groupwork, and I'm pretty #neurospicy, myself.
I was thinking more along the lines of the ability to share projects and teach one another, rather than being forced to learn (earn a grade) in a group setting.

In this day an age every single school in the western world has been equipped with the latest laser detectors for #neurospicy tendencies in youth. This ensures that any divergence from the norm, with picometer precision, will be caught, diagnosed, medicated, and move to the special process track in order to ensure their future compatibility and complacency to the hegemonic capitalist machine. No expense is saved to fix, suppress, or even maim (e.g. over medicate) if deemed necessary".

Neurospicy perk - Unflinching concentration:
With this perk, you can hyperfocus on an interesting subject so deeply that you will not notice any negative effects from things such as hunger, thirst, pain, or even the passage of time.
Note, however, that these stats continue to get worse over time; you just won't notice it.After a period of hyperfocus ends, all of the debuffs that occurred during it will set in all at once.

New blog post dropped! These are weekly now, every thursday you get some emotional healing examples from real life (me)!
In this one, I used anti-indoctrination techniques as explained by cult-survivor, -researcher and -therapist Dr. Steven Hassan in a conversation with a part of myself.
It's also an example of how the fruits of cult research can help with things that aren't Kool-Aid level, "clearly a cult". In this case, I focus mainly on interpersonal emotional abuse in the context of veganism.
Conversation with my indoctrinated self (tw for mentions of rape, CSA, animal cruelty and eating disorders)

Every other Wednesday is always a special day right now because we get a new #inpatient song and today's is a bit special in a lot of ways, the beat is a pure earworm, the video is one of the funniest things I've seen this year and the lyrics hiding between the beats are a near perfect description of being a bit #neurospicy

adhd moment: I am currently dehydrated and aware of it. I can feel the dryness in my mouth. I have a bottle of water, like, literally inches from my hand. it's been there for like the last hour. writing this post about being thirsty is easier than making myself open and drink the water.
edit: okay I drank the water and wow that feels so good why did that take me so long

Hi all! I'm new to fediverse and social media. The blinking ads and reels slammed at my face overwhelmed me and pushed me away when I first tried to enter this realm.
For this first post, I've attached a close-up of my carpet. I got bullied when I posted carpet close-ups when I joined Instagram over 10 years ago as a kid. So I guess I'm kind of trying to close the circle so I can start something new. Long live carpets!

Journée de 💩 dans la vie d'une poulette autiste :
Cet am, l'enfant allait à la patinoire. Les consignes étaient venir en legging, manches longues et avec une doudoune à la main. Sauf que l'enfant déclenche des meltdown dès 20 degrés donc marcher 30 minutes en plein cagnard avec une tenue non adaptée à la chaleur signifie crises autistiques et mal être profond. En plus, la maîtresse a voulu la taquiner en disant qu'elle se plaignait tout le temps. L'enfant l'a pris premier degré et a trouvé ça totalement injuste vu tous les efforts qu'elle fait. Elle m'a dit que c'était dur à vivre de se sentir incomprise 💔

I just.. I'm severely unnerved by incurious people.
They just seem to float through life never asking any questions ever and HOW DOES THAT EVEN WORK?
'No Thoughts Head Empty' is a meme for crying out loud!
Is this a Neurospicy thing?
Do all the Neurotypicals just not think to ask questions ??
I feel quite quite mentally unstable just considering it.

How to Feel Less Exhausted by Group Conversations.
"Group conversations aren't always easy for introverts, highly sensitive people, or neurodivergent people.
In the article below, I share why group conversations feel so draining — and how to make them easier.'

Yesterday, we took a ride along the East Lancashire Railway. My father-in-law used to fire the engines of steam locomotives (in the late 1950s/early 1960s), so this must have brought back fond memories for him. He often tells us about cooking breakfasts on a shovel and goes into great detail when describing the trains he used to help operate. The driver kindly took him onto the footplate, where he could get a closer look at the controls.
Our thoroughly enjoyable journey from Rawtenstall to Heywood (and back) was powered by Tornado. As the Legends of Steam III event was taking place this weekend, there were plenty of rail enthusiasts present 🚂

This anecdote is for anyone who believes I have some sort of social superpower or that I'm good at catching social cues.
At a recent kink event, someone was trying to remember my name after recognizing me at a different event. They then mentioned an art museum, and narrated the path from the entrance to a specific mural with "the most beautiful woman I've ever seen" and said I reminded them of that mural.
I only just realized that it was a really smooth compliment and not about getting me interested in an art museum (I love art museums already). :neofox_blush_hide:

CW: Transcript for the above video (minus self-promotion at the end)
You live with a brain that pulls in opposite directions and the world has no idea what that costs you.
Today's video is not about getting a diagnosis, the moment of realization, or what comes after. No, today is about the emotional pain of ADHD. It's about the feelings you probably carried for years, long before you had the language for them.
These feelings aren't just occasional, but constant companions in ADHD life. Shame, guilt, embarrassment, self-loathing, and dread. These aren't just side effects. They are part of the experience.
And it's time that we talk about them because when you're autistic and ADHD, you're not just navigating sensory input or attention issues. You're navigating the emotional weight of being misunderstood, misread, mischaracterized, and mistaken over and over again.
And one of the heaviest weights we carry is shame. Not the abstract kind, but social shame. The kind you feel when your reaction is too big, your interest too intense, your tone too blunt. When someone squints at you in a meeting because you jumped in too fast, spoke too loud, or interrupted without realizing, or when you finally say something in a group chat and no one responds, so you replay it 30 times.
Should you have used an emoji?
Was your tone off?
Was it too much?You start shrinking, apologizing for your personality, pre-editing yourself in conversations, and eventually you stop contributing. Not because you have nothing to say, but because shame has taught you that you always say it wrong.
And after a while, the shame of how you come across starts turning into guilt about what you did or didn't do. Guilt for needing more help than others, for backing out of plans, for missing a deadline, for zoning out during your partner's story, and for burning out again. >
You say yes when you mean no. You overpromise. You disappear. And even when people forgive you, you don't forgive yourself. Because the guilt doesn't come from what you did. It comes from what you fear. It proves about you that you're unreliable; that you're selfish; that you are never enough.And when you carry that guilt long enough, it stops being about what you did and starts being about who you are. That's when it turns into something heavier, which is self-loathing.
Now, this isn't just I feel bad, but rather I am bad. You start believing that maybe you are too difficult; too emotional; too scattered; too inconsistent to be loved, trusted, and respected.
You think about how hard it is for you to do basic things and how easy it seems for others. And even when someone compliments you, you flinch because they don't see the chaos you fight just to hold it together. So you laugh it off. You make jokes about being scattered or always overdoing it, but it doesn't really feel funny. It feels like hiding in plain sight.
But the thing is, most of these feelings don't come from being ADHD. They come from having to survive as ADHD in a neurotypical world.
A world where your best effort is called laziness; where your overwhelm is labeled overreaction; where your communication style is seen as rude or abrupt or too much.
And once you've internalized that story about yourself, even small mistakes feel like confirmation, which is where embarrassment shows up.
The moment you realize you've been rambling for five minutes, or that you've laughed too loudly, or you stim in public and someone stares, or the hundreds of micro moments when you walk away from a conversation and immediately feel sick with regret.
What did I just say?
Did I misread that?
Were they annoyed?You can't stop replaying it for hours, sometimes even days. You mask harder next time. You get quieter. You try to be more palatable.
But even that isn't safe. Because the more you mask, the more you dread the moment you'll inevitably mess up.
And when every social moment feels like a minefield, you start living in anticipation of the next misstep.
That's dread.
Dread before the meeting; before the phone call; before checking your email.
Not because you're lazy, but because you know how often you've let something slip, and how much harder each mistake feels when you're already carrying shame and guilt.
You dread the moment you realize someone is mad at you and you don't know why.
You dread being asked to explain yourself because you know you'll get overwhelmed trying.
You dread having your needs questioned.
You dread being seen.
And all of these feelings, they build, they echo, they feed off of each other until you can't tell the difference between who you are and what you've internalized.
But here's the truth.
You are not your shame.
You are not your guilt.
You are not your worst moment.
You feel this way not because you're broken, but because you've spent a lifetime trying to function in environments that gaslight your needs.
So, if you recognize these feelings, you're not being dramatic.
You're not being sensitive.
You're telling the truth about what it costs to exist in a world that doesn't accommodate you.And that truth, it matters.
Naming it doesn't erase it, but it makes it less lonely.
It makes it possible to build something better.
These feelings might be part of your ADHD experience, but they don't define it and they don't define you...

L'enfant a eu un remplaçant ce matin. Ça ne s'est pas très bien passé car il avait des méthodes différentes de la maîtresse. Du coup, il a suffit d'une petite contrariété pour qu'elle fasse un énorme meltdown à midi.
Je l'ai gardé avec moi cet am. On a pu discuter. Elle m'a avoué être très fatiguée de devoir masquer en permanence à l'école. Et c'est le constat que je fais : augmentation des meltdown et des absences ce mois-ci. Il faut vraiment qu'elle obtienne plus d'aménagements 😔

CW: A video about the emotional impact of AuDHD; adding CW again as the thumbnail has direct eye contact
We posted yesterday here about a video about AuDHD that hit us right in the feels. When another video by the same creator got suggested, we thought we'd give it a watch.
It literally just made us tear-up and quietly sob whilst watching 🥺
The first video made us feel seen, but somehow this one felt like years of therapy and validation compressed into a short video.

I'm increasingly dissatisfied with the term #neurodivergent being the one preferred for someone who is (like me) not #neurotypical.
I think a trick was missed. What about #neurodistinctive or even #neuroextraordinary? A little more positive methinks.
Light-hearted post? Well maybe. I just think neurodivergent sounds a bit stuffy. #Neurodifferent isn't bad. #neurospicy is, however, dreadful.

I don't know if I'd call myself a positive person... I'm much too #redpilled and #neurospicy to see the world in remotely a positive light.
But I always keep in mind that there is always something positive I can do in this life, no matter how small, and that small positive change has an effect. It could be as simple as smiling at someone at the grocery store, or being there for a friend who's hurting, or just reaching out to try to spend time with people when my instincts are to go burrow in a hole of self-pity, self-loathing, and self-medication through vegging out on YT or whatever.
None of these little positive things will change the fact that I live in a world where money changes hand for the purposes of victimizing children. None of these little things will do much of anything to curb the ravenous, craven greed of the soulless 1%.
But it can make my little world a tiny bit better, and that means something.
