Today I won a new diagnosis: "adjustment disorder". Yay. The doctor didn't mention it during the appointment but he wrote it in the letter. I had to look it up and, as far as I understand it, it's similar to PTSD except that the symptoms eventually go away if the stressor is removed. That makes sense as I told him that it started with the collapse of my social life last year (due to my old friends switching hobbies and making little effort to keep me included).

I seriously want to do a round table on "how writing groups can support their neurodivergent members". If this sounds like a panel you'd like to be on. Reach out.
I just had a very rough experience and want to prevent it from happening to someone else.

[P] Gosh! I wonder why that is, do you think? The hiverarchian inability to parse the concepts of yesterday and tomorrow is why everything's in a sorry state. If they didn't have this problem, they'd be much more neurodivergent. They'd be very patient, introspective, and ruminative, resulting in wise votes. But no, the majority simply has no concept for aught but today, so politics haes to be barmy.

[P] I'm sorry if my frustration is all too evident, but when hiverarchians are the majority? It results in clinically insane & unhinged politics. In a neurodivergent world, politicians would debate over policies, and everyone would give them time to enact those politics. The hiverarchy mindset feeds into some incredible idiocy. "Things are always good Today under the right, but bad Today under the left."

[P] For those who might need the help: No, I wasn't claiming that Scar was the most efficient manager of the Pridelands. I was making the point that the deeply flawed and racist first film (I liked the second better, not perfect but a marked improvement) perpetrated the hiverarchian perception. "A new politician means that the world is magically different today! Because yesterday & tomorrow don't exist!"

[P] The TLK dialogue went as thus:
"Looks like Simba's back to ruin the Pridelands, just like his dad did."
"It was Scar who ruined them!"
"Oh? So, you think that Simba's return caused a mystical, magical renewal, immediately?"
"...yes??"And this is how hiverarchians think. A new politician immediately changes the world, with magic and wishes! It's very annoying. Autism privilege again, I guess.

[P] I've spoken prior about my issues with the hiverarchian "Because it's what I know!" consensus. An asoect of its obscenity is that hiverarchians have no concept whatsoever for tomorrow or yesterday. I'm reminded of a funny conversation from decades ago about The Lion King, but I'll get to that. What frustrates me is that any new politician today is blamed for every problem created yesterday.

Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 1040 , Wednesday 02/09/2026
Up early for the gym, a really good session as the scales finally proclaimed that I had lost a little weight!
Got home around 07:45 so that Mrs S could take the car to work.
A nice peaceful day, I even manged to spend 3 hours tidying my room - there is still a lot of paperwork to go thru, most of it I need to get stern with & throw away!
But I have boxed up the old Amp that I haven’t used in months & the Ps4 pro that has sat up there gathering dust. I had envisaged using it as a remote terminal for the PS5 but that never took off.Watched ‘Apollo 13’ while I worked - such a good movie & one I know well enuf to be able to dip in & out of while still following the plot.
Even managed a couple of hours on the PS5 later this afternoon,
Final Thoughts.
Not a bad day at all on the whole.
I am absolutely knackered though!
Thank you to all those who are helping me on this journey, in a myriad different ways. I am thankful to each & every one of you! 🫂 🫶🐿️🖖

Why do autistic people often catastrophise?
I've been thinking about this deeply. I've had this habit since I was a child.
Lying in my bed at night thinking, “what if…?”

Your naturalization of acoustic violence doesn't make it inevitable but it means you must listen when we denounce it and must work to deconstruct it. You need to learn a culture of consent so you can live with those of us who process sensory data differently. Or you'll see us GTFO from your spaces.
(If you think I'm trivializing sexual violence, block me right away.)

This! Some of my friends still ask if I WANT to do x, y, or z for them. No, I don't. That task sucks. But I'm WILLING to do it. If you want or need to ask me to do or help with an unenjoyable task, "want" is not the word to ask me with.
