I hate it so much I made a video about it. A video which I think is very underrated tbh

β€˜True crime’ has rotted brains, not every arsehole is a fucking psychopath or a potential murderer ffs sometimes people are just dicks

It’s sad to see the comments on my Sheldon video being half autistic people saying they either relate with parts of the character or have been frequently compared to the character, and then also a bunch of people saying he’s very obviously a psychopath or a β€œserial killer in the making”.

I love gardening but I do always hurt myself, I’m still recovering from the work I did over the weekend.

Being disabled is a constant trade off. A never ending cost/benefit analysis.

β€œIf I do X, I will be happy but need 2 days off to recover”

Picking which kind of pain I can cope with best rn 😩

I hate having hEDS. I hate being so fragile. I want to be the kind of person who can be there for people whenever they need. I don’t want to have to wrap myself in cotton wool just to ensure I am able to be there, I don’t want to have to prep so far in advance for every trip 😭

I have to travel soon to care for my dad.

The weather is beautiful & I would like to do some gardening before I go, get things ready for spring etc

But that means I will probably hurt myself & then be useless as a carer.

I’m terrified that the flight will trigger my vertigo as it did last time..

It will never not blow my mind that I’m a YouTuber who won’t accept money from, like Better Help or whatever bc I find it unethical and meanwhile all these multimillionaire Oscar winners are doing spots for online gambling and TurboTax. Like bro how much coke do you need

I watched Scary Movie over Halloween last year. It was never funny, we were just 16 & very, very stoned.

I can’t believe it tbh.

As soon as she said β€œcuz mirror neurons” I was like 🀨

They aren’t truth antennas.

So many people in the comments are convinced that every other person they see is some kind of danger to them, like what are we doing here?

It’s not the first time I’ve seen that podcast spread utter rubbish either.

Like the way hyper vigilance is being framed as a gift is so upsetting. You’ll know as much as me how hard it is to overcome that tendency & to ignore the inaccurate, trauma-influenced predictions our brain makes.

β€œIt’s your neurotype, & it’s positive & real” is so harmful.

But what you described is probably actually what’s going on.

TikTok - Make Your Day

The ADHD Chatter Podcast posted a clip of someone talking about the emotional sensitivity involved in ADHD & β€œthe ADHD strengths around transcendence & spirituality” & the comments section was just non-stop β€œempaths”. I ended up deleting my comment cuz it got super annoying

The Big Bang Theory is terrible in a number of ways. It’s not just the neurodivergents they’re baiting.
This is out now!

Exactly. Everyone is terrible at it.

No see it’s β€œpattern recognition” & a very strong belief in some very outdated research πŸ’€πŸ˜­

(but also, as I’ve found, a bunch of them do actually think they’re psychic sooo)

Scratch a couple of surfaces and they absolutely do believe in psychic powers πŸ’€
