Last Year 2022 Christmas

ADHD

Making spontaneous plans

Struggling to organise

Impulsively making purchases for a new hyperfixation

Struggling to be on time

Hyperfixating on a wide variety of subjects

Forgetting steps in plans

Wanting new experiences

Autism

Gets upset if those plans are disrupted

Has a need for things to be in order

Hyper focus on researching the purchases

Struggles when the other person is a few minutes late

Having long term special interests

Needing every step to be followed perfectly

Wanting predictability and sameness

The Autistic Teacher

sometimes you just have to let yourself be a bit neurodivergent.

i hate going out, it gives me a lot of anxiety and sensory input that i dont like, and i am often forced to talk to people.

so i do this thing on more difficult days, or sometimes just for fun, where i "bring a fictional character with me". i walk and imagine Fictional Character walking next to me. they talk to me, reassure me, hype me up, whatever i need them to do.

today dean winchester came christmas shopping with me. he went over the list with me of stuff i needed to get, told me i was doing a good job every time i finished in a certain shop, reminded me to take a deep breath when i got a little overwhelmed.

and yea. its kinda silly. and i know its just me talking to myself in a different voice, but it Works! especially since all of my special interests/hyperfixations tend to be tv/movie related.

so do what you gotta do to Get Shit Done. stop holding yourself to neurotypical standards. if you need Fictional Character to tell you you're doing a good job, do it! if you need Favourite Singer to walk you to school, do it! yea it might feel silly but you're literally fighting against your own brain to get stuff done every single day. you can have a little self indulgent daydream, as a treat.
