You also have to be willing to tell your stylist when what they are doing is NOT what you want and what you actually DO want. It has taken most of my adult life to be mostly ok at this. I feel awful, I end up giving too much tip because I'm like I'm too picky or I should trust the process. I will usually try to give a few directions until I'm like oh no I'm being horrible, I should just accept it.
I still end up coming home and tweaking it a little with hair cutting scissors. I've watched carefully what they do and mimic the cuts I want to do.
And being queer and #femme... Like at a regular salon? They NEVER want to cut it as short as I want. I usually go w a long pixie and I have to fight for it, even though I say that I want the front to start at my cheekbones and get shorter towards the back. I know what looks good on me, I've been doing this for years, please just listen. I do bring pics of my fave cuts on myself too 🤷♀️
I know I need to find a good #queer salon in my area. I know I need to be willing to pay for good service and someone who knows me & is willing to pay attention, but that is so much work and then you need to plan.in advance to make an appointment way ahead. It's terrifying and so much! Ugh #NeurodivergentSquad

Love it when my brain's response to everything I have to do today is just "too boring--don't wanna".
Like, it's not wrong, but it's also really unhelpful, considering that I've got responsibilities to meet and stuff.

#NeurodivergentSquad #ActuallyAutistic and #ADHD folks, what's one thing you thought you knew how to do growing up but realized as an adult (or teen) you weren't really doing it right because no one showed you step by step?
(Please be nice, this is supposed to be fun, no teasing others)
I'll add one: putting on deodorant. I always use the roll on stuff but I thought you had to like roll it all over and paint your whole underarm. I ended up with deodorant stains on my clothes constantly. Now I just put it on like the bottom half & do that chicken wing thing with my arms to get it to spread 😂

One thing I hear over and over again when I complain about having to exercise is that I should "find a form of exercise that you don't find boring."
I have ADHD. I'm always going to find exercise boring because it's repetitive by design. The only reason I continue to bother with it at all is because I begrudgingly admit that it has some benefits. It's just gonna be a slog to get through every time.

I was wondering how people have added :infinity_rainbow: to their display name? I can get it to work in posts but not my display name.
[In posts you type : and then start describing what custom emoji you want. So for infinity rainbow it’s :infinity_rainbow and then click on the emoji when it appears or add : again after the description if you know the emoji’s exact name and it will also appear]

Can anyone recommend some good self-advocacy resources for supporting #neurodivergent folk?
