You never have to do more than you’re genuinely okay with at any given moment. And what you're okay with it change moment by moment, and that's okay, too.

[P] You can easily map hiverarchian out-group hatred of the immigrant or the other ethnicity to hive warfare perpetrated by insects. I see hiverarchians as being more hive insect than human. What Israel is doing to Palestine is the eradication of an out-group hive. A world without neurotypical hiverarchy is one without war. There'd be no concept of unfair, immoral out-group treatment. There'd be no war as war needs hives. No hives? No war. Paradise.

CW: AuDHD, neurodiversity affirming therapy, (positive)
Two weeks ago my therapist validated my struggles by telling me that it is extremely difficult for AuDHD people to find their niche, their place in this world. I had to cry and answered that this is the reason why my world is so small.
Today I had a double session with her and told her about my everyday life, my routines, my social contacts (mostly online), my special interests, my self regulation techniques and my personal insights.
She didn't say much, but she agreed that neurotypical people mostly communicate emotion based and autistic people fact based. Me telling her about my autism parenting my ADHD made her laugh and she appreciated it.
At the end of the 90 minutes session I concluded that my world isn't small, it's huge, especially my inner world and she said
"Yes, your world isn't small, it's just different."
Moments like this are the outcome of working with a neurodiversity affirming, experienced therapist on a highly professional level. I am so lucky that I have found her.

Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 1046 , Tuesday 08/09/2026
Tuesday has been somewhat of a wasted day.
Up at around 07:30, breakfast & chores.
I had a list of things I wanted to get done but floundered at the first hurdle.
Final Thoughts.
Hopefully tomorrow will be a more productive day.
Part of the problem is that there seems to be little point to any of it these days.
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! 🫂 🫶🐿️🖖

I'm desperately trying to raise $250 to pay my bills this month.
Absolutely anything helps. My most urgent need is $40 for my hydro bill.

#ActuallyAutistic The linked Youtube short provides an interesting, if all too quick, summary about burnout in autistics being fundamentally different from neurotypical burnout. It could also explain why our recovery from burnout is more prolonged and difficult.

[P] I've been thinking about the Palestinian genocide again. It's patently ludicrous to say that being against the antipalestinian war-crimes of Israel is antisemitic. It's no different than claiming that being against the antisemitic war-crimes of Germany is antireichic. It's also ludicrous to claim that Zionism isn't racism when it's founded on ethnic-cleansing:

See evil? Say evil. And I see evil.

Wenn ich mir unsicher bin, ob meine Krankmeldung gerechtfertigt war, mache ich kurz was alltägliches und stelle dann direkt fest: Nope! Die Krankmeldung war definitiv gerechtfertigt!

Diagnosis is defined around how abled people experience us, and how they experience us often depends on our identities, and is often an external thing we are punished for. This means diagnosis incorporates other systems of oppression within it.

I've been having a bad pain day, alongside a prolonged autistic food struggle. I want and need to eat something, but everything is unappealing. I don't feel hungry, usually just a bit queasy and weak.
Any #ActuallyAutistic pro-tips for feeding yourself when everything makes you feel sick?

Has anyone seen statistics about autistic use of chatbots?
On Mastodon I see a lot of other autistic people who also despise them. Which makes sense to me: whenever I’ve encountered them, it's like a regular unwanted computer interaction, but with a veneer of neurological conversation bells and whistles.
However, I know that chatbots prey on lonely people. And there's gotta be some twit out there like, “Can AI help autistic children communicate?”

Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 1045 , Monday 07/09/2026
Monday started at crack of sparrows fart, down the gym just after 7am.
Had quite a hard session, both because it required more effort than usual & also because it was unusually busy so my routine was badly disrupted.
Got home had breakfast then did my chores.
Managed to bully myself into cleaning behind the cooker & do some more in the gargantuan task of clearing up the garage to make room for all the stuff from my parents in law’s house.
Final Thoughts.
Motivation was low today but I am glad that I did get a couple of things done.
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! 🫂 🫶🐿️🖖

Autism and self-help books are generally a bad combination. These awful books are about as much use as having an instruction manual for the wrong gadget!

Good afternoon friends. I am still desperately trying to cover my bills this month. I'm trying to raise $250 before the 16th.

What a lot of people who end up in burnout go through is they work really, really hard for a long time and at doing all the things that they think are gonna make them happy. If you’re autistic, this is not just the job and power dynamics, but it’s also the masking.
It’s doing things “the right way”, doing things the neurotypical way, meeting expectations. This is a very, very common burnout experience. 1/2
