Subject: Financial advisors (sorry in advance to anyone who is one!)

It's only now I look back on some of the episodes from my youth that I now see how #autistic they were. 😳😂

So maybe I don't have #ADHD because this doesn't feel like me at all

How does it only take you 2x fully rereading something when your mind goes everywhere else to understand?

Anyone else have a brain coated in teflon?

If you're considering Loop Earplugs, be advised the company uses AI for chat bots and email as your first contact with customer service. They do not have a phone number.

I'm untangling a mess with shipping on two orders.

This thread is meant as a resource for confused #autistic people, on social dynamics & power hierarchies.

In the posts below are links to various threads & articles I've compiled on this topic.

Sometimes it's only when you add a number of elements (each one unremarkable on its own), that you see a pattern.

Just attended a Zoom seminar for staff on neurodiversity in university, basically covering ADHD and autism. While the seminar was pretty good, I got the same feeling as with a seminar on diversity of sexuality and gender our faculty had some time ago: those who'd benefit the most were not present.

Anywho, the section on how autism and ADHD may appear/feel like for students was like "I'm in this picture and I don't like it." I could've filled a bingo card pretty quickly! If only I understood earlier in my life.

Not all social expectations are good or healthy, and they’re not all unjust or damaging. You get to decide which ones you spend your energy on.

"Advertising falls flat with autistic people."

Does anyone have ideas as to why?

Some autistic people find making phone calls extremely stressful and unpleasant and will avoid them at all costs.

Please don’t try and force your communication preferences on others.

This is what I feel like and probably look like to others after spending ten minutes at a holiday party.
