PSA for autistic people, people with PTSD, and anyone else who is sensitive to sound (including owners of nervous pets): it sounds like church bells are gonna be rung for a full hour at noon tomorrow, so if you can get somewhere quiet, or can prep in some way for it, please do!

@adamfare1996 I feel very similarly. The difference between my feed here and my FB feed is jarring. I’m trying to hold the two sides at the same time. I was expecting to feel a bit sad but I actually feel not much at all.

@ADHDdesigner So sorry to hear this. 💜

Hard to care about the queen when my own nan was just admitted to the hospital this morning.

@krystalbellax @rosiemay_r @ADHDHive Ah sorry. Didn’t know that. Lovely bunch.

@krystalbellax @rosiemay_r Depending on what time you need to be out of bed for, @ADHDHive might have something that works?

@NortherlyRose You did amazingly! Not pushing ourselves to do things is such progress I always feel. Hope the appointment goes more smoothly next time.

To decompress I went to the charity shop a few doors along and bought myself a preloved teddy bear. If I’d been told how long the wait at the dentist was likely to be, and gone shopping first, things would have been a lot better. I’d have had this cuddly creature to hold! 11/ end

#Thread I am giving myself a virtual gold star for going to the dentist today, even though I only half went! 1/

I/we/the school F’d up and we didn’t complete the extra form for school dinners (small one has a lot of food allergies) so it’s this or jackets and cheese for 6 weeks and I’d like my kid not to hate jackets please.

The importance of having ND friends cannot be overstated. Someone in one of my parent groups just brainstormed packed lunches for me having never had to pack one for my kid for him to eat alone. Like a x + Y formula and extra ideas and everything. BRB, off to have a grateful cry

@tall_n_moody Yep. Could also be getting hot. Being hot at bedtime is a killer for me.

Does anyone else with #ADHD, #adhdtwitter find it harder to get to sleep if they've been to an exercise class or martial arts class on an evening. It's like go juice is running round. I should be sleepy after all the exercise...

@krystalbellax No. But I’m gonna now 🤣

@adamfare1996 I’ve ‘liked’ this. Obviously I don’t Like It.

@Saraheboon Me too. 💜

Thinking of all the neurodivergent kids who will be going back into hostile school environments today.

@littleferret22 @ADDeeCee 🤣

@ADDeeCee I love whenever cons are like "Isn't it wonderful to see how NATURALLY little girls gravitate towards caregiving roles? uwu" and i was just there like "Perish."

Me, an autistic child, “playing” with my dolls by dressing them up, arranging them, and then gazing at their loveliness 😍 Adults thinking I “love babies” and will “be a great mom” someday 🥹 Me, quite perplexed: these are not babies tho and I’m not their parent 🤨🤔

@ADHDelaide It doesn’t feel like a usual thing to say but not mean. So I’d say yes. But maybe just one. 🤷🏻‍♀️

When you go on vacation and people ask you to send pictures, do they mean it? Asking for me

@ADDeeCee I fully support this gif usage.

Mmmm, just savouring the memory of the time a white cis dude more than a decade younger than me and paid twice as much, counselled me to “try some coping techniques” for my ADHD. What a treat to receive such wisdom 🙏🏼🥹 /sssssss

@adamfare1996 Well done on doing it! But yes, absolutely rubbish when you can only do it one way.

I set out to the Notting Hill Carnival to document the beauty of our people and culture. My picture thread

@lilacnonsense I would love to borrow that brain. Sounds wonderful! 💜

I said ‘your brain sounds LOVELY!’ And he said ‘it is! I just have a thought then a bit later I have another one! It’s nice :)’

my bf has the simplest brain it seems so peaceful🥲 he woke up on Saturday turned to me and said ‘what shall we do today? I’d quite like to see a steam train!’ So we did that, on the way back he was humming along to music and only paused to say ‘I wonder if acorns are ready yet!’

@HealthyADHD 😬

nothing like getting an automated message that your child is out of lunch money. NOT because I forgot to put it in the account - but because he is spending $7/day

@adhdmarie Also getting really desperate for getting people back to the office right.
