Aslynn is ‘The AuDHD Psych NP’

I use the 🫶🏻 so much because, to me, it communicates affection equivalent to a hug but is also a physical barrier between me and actually getting hugged.

That’s my vibe.

AuDHD: hiiiiiiii - me again. We JUST realized that you are STARVING

Me: wait, what? We left the house 10 minutes ago & it was full

AuDHD: halp, so woozy

Me: we stood in front of the fridge for 14 minutes! We are going to be late!

AuDHD: *whispers* coffee & danish drive thru

Kink Just Makes sense for ADHD 5 WAYS Kink Supports Neurodivergent Mental Health Novelty and Stimulation Individuals with ADHD often seek new and stimulating experiences. Kink can provide a structured way to fulfill that need for novelty and engagement within safe and consensual boundaries. Sensory Exploration Many neurodivergent individuals experience unique sensory preferences. BDSM can offer controlled environments where specific sensations (such as pressure or touch) are explored safely. Clear Structures and Protocols: Kink communities often rely on clear rules, safety protocols, and explicit communication. This structure can be beneficial for people with ADHD or Autism, who may find well-defined guidelines reassuring. Role-Play vs. Social Masking: Individuals on the Autism spectrum often engage in 'masking' in social situations. In kink role-play, however, the expectations are openly discussed, which can reduce social pressure and ambiguity. Hyperfocus Advantages: People with ADHD can experience intense periods of focus (hyperfocus). During a kink scene, this state of concentration can enhance both the emotional and physical aspects of the experience. Catieosaurus.com

Here’s my highly requested breakdown on how kink actually makes sense for those of us who are neurospicy!🔥

(This is only scratching the surface, I got more up my sleeve)

🌈 the neurodiversity movement is anti-fascist

live your truth to drown out their lies 🫶🏻

Okay, so maybe you’re NOT Autistic

But science shows that brains work differently in PROFOUND ways, in some very BASIC areas

These dx are categories with definitions we made up!

Humans created the checklist!

if you think your brain works these ways it prob does so wear the loops & skip the party

Causes of Autism More Plausible Than Tylenol &/or Vaccines:

phase of the moon
consumption of chicky nuggies
capitalism
insomnia
unexpected texture in foods
stepping on legos
reading too much
tide level
one or more parents playing D&D or MtG
yarn exposure
fire truck sirens in infancy
diet & exercise

Meta to charge advertisers a fee to offset Europe's digital taxes Meta Platforms will charge advertisers a location fee ranging ‌from 2% to 5% to cover digital ‌service taxes imposed by some countries, the U.S. tech giant said ​in a post on its website, following in...

It’s a taxes on ads thing

wow meta’s location fee is pretty funny

that won’t backfire immediately

🫶🏻 big hug vibes w/o the touching part

Thinking about all the times being Autistic at work/in public has gotten me in trouble to the point of needing a new job.

This asshole is gonna get away with being publicly a Nazi because he has money and power where as I couldn’t even get my boss to believe that I wasn’t snappy at a coworker. 🫠

What they say is "Everyone wants to be Autistic"

They mean "Everyone wants compassion and accommodation for their sensory sensitivities and social tolerances"

& like - fuck yeah we do!

But they also are implying they will NOT recognize our needs and WON'T support them, so that's not a safe person

I still don’t understand how the same people who think I “don’t look autistic” will then scrunch up their face in a way where I KNOW they think I’m weird for what I just said or did

yes, bitch! I AM weird AND I’m Autistic & both those things are pretty fuckin great so fix your face & your attitude

The science is starting to show what we’ve been saying all along

The lights are too bright
The sounds are too loud
The clothes are too itchy
Thoughts don’t stop
Don’t know where to look
Constantly misunderstood
Never understanding why

Until we DO understand why

They can’t take that back from us

The back of a truck with a graphic of people using virtual reality, lists www.autism reality.co.uk. States, “Experience what autism might be like with the - AUTISM REALITY EXPERIENCE. Piecing their world together. Autism Simulator”. Graphics include three puzzle pieces fit together “A-R—E”.

AUTISM SIMULATOR FEATURES

1) People tell you you’re wrong about your basic internal experience for a couple hours

“No, it isn’t itchy. The lights aren’t too bright. It’s not loud. You’re being too sensitive. It’s not that crowded. It’s not that big of a deal. It wouldn’t hurt you to look at me.”

Them: “What’s this mental health crisis all about? Why are suicide rates the way they are?”

Me: “One factor is the vast unidentified Autistic population that is at a >9x higher risk of death by suicide at a minimum!”

Also them: “You don’t look Autistic. Probably a bunch of dramatic lazy fucks.”

It is bc I understand that I am Autistic that I am a better parent to my Autistic children

Not forcing them to experience sensory and social waterboarding when they don't have to has been essential to their mental well-being

Not acknowledging Autistic adults serves to further harm Autistic kids

*whispers* if you were campaigning for raising autism awareness with puzzle pieces in the 90's, and are complaining about over-diagnosis now, go fly a rock and kick a kite you absolute buffoon

Someday I’ll write an actual paper but

Someday I’ll write an actual paper but

It’s infuriating. I’m sorry.

I have my silly #asterism model and I am CONFIDENT that if it becomes meaningful to the field (as opposed to just me and people who I’m talking with)

Ahem

I’m CONFIDENT something better will come along

It has to! & I hope it does!

It’s so sad and counterintuitive to me

Know better, do better

That’s how you do your best

Like - hello???

That sounds familiar and I’m sorry to hear that, I’m seeing a lot of my UK colleagues posting about it on LinkedIn

I feel attacked but also amused, which is how I know I was correct to follow you recently

No but they do have a margarita of the month for $6

Which I will never purchase again mostly because I’m sober but also because fuck Chili’s

came here to say this

Yes I’d like to see them be held to some accountability as in having their business destroyed by lawsuits.

(BOGO margaritas)

If she had more evidence I would be all ears but it’s just fear mongering. I wish she’d humble herself about how our understanding has continued to rapidly evolve & improve & moving away from her work doesn’t mean it wasn’t important

It was (arguably)

It’s just not THE answer!
& no shame in that!

They have them at Lowe’s now!
