I spent 14 years receiving NHS funded mental health treatment, being consistently misdiagnosed as having Generalised Anxiety Disorder and Depression. Then I had a breakdown. Then I got diagnosed as ADHD. Ta-dah! Depression gone, anxiety reduced, mental health has never been better. Earlier diagnosis would have saved thousands in NHS treatment and boosted tax revenue. But ADHD and Autism are over diagnosed? #ADHD #Autism #Neurodivergent #Neurodiverse

From my daughter's blog:
"I make tea when I don’t know what else to do with myself, so I drink a lot of tea. It isn’t perfect for quenching thirst, but is a lot better than coffee or nothing. "
She might be like her father in that regard. And we might share some others...

Is there a template for neurodivergent people to create a "user manual" for themselves or their locations? This could be "can you ask me this or that?" or "if you don't want to ask, here's my dos and donts" or "if you don't wanna ask, my flat provides this and I happily share it"

I don't know if it's just me, but I like the benefit of wearing a mask to prevent inhaling airborne pathogens, but also to hide behind - it makes societally essential 'masking' easier. For example when I'm at work and interact with the public.

Authors talk about how smart their MCs or villains are, but have you ever written a slow-witted character?A dangerous topic, too easy to step over the line over #Disability and #Neurodiverse terminology.
My characters have a range of qualities, interests and abilities.

Do you have issues with how to address emails and texts to people you don't know very well?
For example, struggle with addressing a person as "dear", not want to engage in over familiarity: "Hey there", feel "Hi" is insubstantial? Comment for other neurodivergence etc. (allistic - not autistic).

That moment when you realise you've apparently ceased your psych meds because it's been a few weeks since you needed to get a new script...
_____
* I'm on them intermittently when my ocd and anxiety are bad
** choosing to cease them myself isn't a big issue, it's just that this time was more an adhd-driven accident than an actual choice

The Carnivore diet is scientifically and medically supported for all of the Neurodivergent.
I think this knowledge SHOULD be common wisdom. No matter your issues. Mine were anxiety, autoimmune, chronic fatigue, and Burnout that rendered me unemployable.
It works for lots of things we should not be suffering from. Looking since 2016, getting better since 2019.

Speaking as an #autistic & #neurodivergent & #neurodiverse person, I think this @ConversationUK #article by two #clinicians at the @unisouthampton is offensive & a great steaming pile of shit, @KatyElphinstone. We are NOT defined by our #diagnoses - even if these arrogant beggars THINK we are!

It's exhausting having to regulate other people's emotional responses to their own interpretations of me.
When someone misinterprets me I get ostracised and punished, and blamed for their misinterpretation when it's not actually my fault or anything I can control.
So I have to figure out how to respond to their emotional reactions in a way that helps them regulate their emotions all while they are convinced their reactions are based in logic and objective truth and don't even acknowledge that their reactions are emotional in the first place.

There has been absolutely no research I can find that explores if autists are more likely to be vegan or vegetarian than the general population. I find this extraordinary.
If you are autistic, (either clinically or self diagnosed) are you vegan?

So who gets disenfranchised by #VoterID laws?
"under-25s, low-income individuals, eligible #immigrant voters facing language and documentation barriers, those with gender/sexuality/marital status issues, those who were #neurodiverse, and those with #disabilities."
In other words, exactly the people the #Conservatives wanted to exclude.

Since I have been diagnosed I find showering much more difficult. I used to wash virtually every day, now I basically do it twice a week, or maybe every 4 days,and only then from a sense of shame.

I just realised a stim I have. I very gently clack my front teeth together in time with car indicators when they're left on for more than 5 or so seconds.

I am finding the story of #JasonArday really tragic. It looks likely he was bullied into suicide by (mostly) the right wing UK press, despite the fact that autists are 9x more likely to kill themselves than the average person, and suicide is the second most common cause of death for autistics. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/aug/14/jason-arday-found-dead-after-resigning-from-cambridge-over-plagiarism-claims?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other #Autism #autistic #neurodiverse @autistics #AutisticBurnout #ActuallyAutistic

I text because I can do short messages.
I used to think that was what email was for, until I was criticised at work for being rude. The short emails had became chatty letters for them.
So now I write what I want to say then add an irrelevant opening and ending to pacify people who don't like my style.It is still the case that too many of us are expected to adjust to their expectations and blamed if we can't. It feels very one way in the wrong direction.

There's so much pressure to be "normal," to be like other people, to fit in.
But I think what people really want is for others to be understandable and relatable. Which aren't necessarily the same thing.
You can be "different" and still be understandable and relatable.

Enjoyed my 1st session of the #Neurodiverse #Entrepreneur Summit (https://neurodiverseentrepreneursummit.com/) over coffee, & am very glad I signed up. It's free & well worth my time.
Took in Selling Within Your Spoons with Annie P. Ruggles (https://www.anniepruggles.com/), & kept thinking, "Wow! Someone who actually understands me, & sees my strengths & struggles, & has non-sleazy solutions to #sales that I'd actually feel good about."
The Summit is online, now until July 30th, in case you wish to join me.

Creating #SensoryGardens for #Neurodiverse Individuals: A Guide to #Inclusive #OutdoorSpaces
By Elena, Sep 23, 2025
"Imagine a #garden that doesn’t just ask to be looked at, but to be felt. A place where the rustle of leaves is a gentle song, the scent of #lavender is a calming blanket, and the texture of smooth river stones is a quiet anchor. This is the essence of a #SensoryGarden designed for #neurodiverse individuals—a space that understands that we all experience the world in beautifully different ways.
"#Neurodiversity is the idea that variations in brain function—like #autism, #ADHD, #dyslexia, and others—are natural, human variations. Not deficits. And for many neurodiverse people, sensory processing is a key part of that experience. Some folks are #hypersensitive, where a buzzing bee can feel overwhelming. Others are #hyposensitive, seeking out #IntenseSensoryInput to feel regulated. A well-designed sensory garden caters to this entire spectrum, creating a sanctuary that can reduce anxiety, improve focus, and simply provide a much-needed refuge from an #overstimulating world."
