#actually autistic – @soothings on Tumblr

If bras hurt your shoulders and make your pain worse, don’t wear them. If that itchy sweater your grandma gave you aggravates your sensory problems, thank her for it, but don’t wear it. If heels make your feet ache or make your dysautonomia flare, wear flats to parties. You shouldn’t follow any social conventions that make your symptoms worse, let alone ones related to something as insignifcant as the clothing you put on your body.

info dumping and rambling about your interests is not annoying or boring !!! passion and excitement is incredibly endearing. those who told you otherwise did majorly wrong by you

please god stop stigmatizing hallmarks of neurodivergent behavior as “red flags” for bad friends.

I mean stuff like:

Oversharing (ADHD)
“secretly” copying the way you talk/dress/act (common for everyone, but many neurodivergent people who are affected socially)
Forgetting to pause and ask about you (ADHD, autism, social anxiety)
Failure to convey empathy or affection in a way you understand (autism, social anxiety, many many others)
Unhappiness (Depression, also friends don’t have to perform happiness wtf)
Talk “too much” (ADHD, social anxiety, so many more)
Fussy (really?)
Refuse to open up (really??)
Talk loudly (ADHD notoriously makes volume control hard, also wtf how’s that make u a bad friend)

Just hhhhhhh

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

talk to your friends !! if you feel underappreciated or overtalked!

softly, it goes

✨Communication✨
