I'm Not Sleepy Yet...: NLD question, because I... →
andbonnykate:
Does anyone else out there with NLD constantly feel like their bothering people by talking to them, asking questions, or otherwise interacting?
Like yesterday I was supposed to be handing out flyers for work at a block party but I didn’t do a very good job as I was perpetually afraid I was being…
Yeah, I feel like that often.

thegutlesswonder:
I wish I could make my own version of Cosmo.
It would have articles about caring for natural back hair and preventing chub rub and the importance of binding safely (no ace bandages!) and bedazzling your prosthetic leg and avoiding feeling guilty when you don’t have the spoons to do things with…

allisticntprivilege:
Neurotypical privilege is expecting people of differing neurologies to put all their energy into covering up their differences, even if doing so causes them extreme discomfort and awkwardness, so that you would never have to worry about feeling uncomfortable or awkward, even for a few seconds.

He knew I was concerned about not getting enough training, so he said that there would be weeks of training and that I would be sick of it by the end. But in actuality I probably had about one full day of training, and training is the last thing on anyone’s mind (except for me).

“I am Neutrois” is a fact, whenever I walk past you, I am Neutrois, whenever you...”
– - DOMINICDEMEYN (via neutrois)
…and when you say I’m “difficult to relate to” because I don’t notice this hypothetical dude at the bar checking me out, I’m still asexual. And genderqueer. And a lot of other things you don’t know.

Emotional burnout
When people talk about burnout in activism, it seems like they’re usually talking about doing too many activities or the work related to that. But I feel burned out emotionally.

draws with pens: social skills blow →
drawswithpens:
They blow because when you’re a self-taught on social skills, like I am, all they do is convince everyone you’re lying when you say you have no social skills.
They don’t do anything for me but enable me to secure gainful employment (which okay, that’s good, but that’s not all that makes life…
Learning social skills made me more socially anxious. I have more friends now,...

Read this on a bathroom wall:
”Neal! In 48 hours I’ll be in your anus…forever!”
and I thought, wouldn’t this be a great album name?
Then I realized it said “arms”, but still.
