    Shutdown

    How does shutdown feel like to you, and how to cope with shutdown?

    Verbal Instruction

    I'm pretty good at written instructions, but verbal instruction? Oh, God! Why is it so hard? My dad literally just asked me to pick up the screwdrivers on the left, and my dumbass brain suddenly stopped working. I'm like, where's the left? 😭 I

    Is having children wrong or not?

    I think it depends on the parents' condition. They're wrong for having a child if they're clearly not stable financially or mentally (like my parents, lol). I hate my life, and I don't want to be born at all, but mostly, it's because of my early life, like how the parenting style and environment...

    Wrong group chat

    That's really awful, I'm sorry you have to go through that, they're obviously exaggerating. You're right, I'm very impulsive sometimes and don't really pay attention to things, I need to be more careful

    Wrong group chat

    I just sent an inappropriate joke in my class group chat because I thought it's my friend's group, and I just realized that in a few minutes after I deleted that. I got so panicked that I didn't see who's already saw my message. My teacher asked about it, and he used some really corny emoji when...

    Responding to my cousin's diagnosis (vent)

    It's must be really hard to deal with being autistic at that time. I'm glad that you aren't influenced by your family's paradigm and can be yourself freely. And yeah, I learned my lesson today.

    Responding to my cousin's diagnosis (vent)

    I've already taught her about neurodivergent to her several times, but she doesn't seem to believe me, especially because my uncle is an autistic with high support needs and she always see that as a 'bad thing'. And about my message, I deleted that because I saw this argument coming, and I'm...

    Responding to my cousin's diagnosis (vent)

    TW: discrimination My families are mostly in the spectrum (and I suspect I'm auDHD and dysparaxic, too). Today, one of my cousins got her autism diagnosis and announced that in the family group. I responded to that really positive, I said that she would finally be able to know herself...

    Strugling with communication

    Wow, thank you for the information, I'll look that up. That's really makes sense, especially the phone call one. I really rely on their expression to make sense of their speech 🫠

    Strugling with communication

    Well, they don't know if I'm autistic because I don't think I can label myself. I mean, I fit all the criteria, but I don't have a proper diagnosis yet. Yeah, I also say sorry when I cut people in the middle of the sentence, but sometimes I did that so many times that's I start to piss them off 🥲

    Strugling with communication

    I'm really bad at interacting with others, especially my peers. But these past 2 days are the worst. I don't know what happened to me. Maybe I'm experiencing shutdown RN. It's so hard to talk. I can't make up coherent words in my mind, even when I can think of a word that I want to say my...

    I don’t know what am i

    I don't think there's any. If we want to take a test, we need to take that outside of the school by ourselves

    I don’t know what am i

    I have already taken some online tests since middle school and read the DSM 5, I just have so much trust issue with myself 🥲 In every online test I've taken (autism and ADHD), it says that I'm autistic and ADHD
