Yes, to all of this. As someone that is strongly demand avoidant, I relate to this whole post and it's worth a read.

huh. I just learned about #demandavoidance as another symptom of #autism. I've always hated being told what to do to an extreme level. my early teachers just thought i was stubborn until I began #masking and pretending to be normal.
When I think of an Internet domain name that I should buy, it's such a relief when it's already been taken.

As an autistic person, days when I am not required to be perceived by people who I have to mask around are mandatory.
I suffer when I don't get them.
Having our roof redone is great, and necessary, but I just want to hide.

After a long hiatus due to a challenging period of pathological demand avoidance, I've worked on some tools, and I'm back to working on Dopamine, the Octopus 🐙. I deserve this. She does too.

Automatic NO for #DemandAvoidance reasons alone. This is exactly the person I least wish to engage with.
I know I'm not the only one. 🤭
Shoutout to my neurodivergent friends, and to former clients who have tried all the different techniques to provide feedback on what works for them.

PDA isn’t “I don’t want to do it.” It’s “My nervous system is in full-on survival mode if you even suggest it.” ⚠️
Let’s talk about demand avoidance as a legit nervous system response—not laziness.

One of the very annoying things about #DemandAvoidance is that I can barely talk about plans I have because as soon as someone asks how that is going I want to quit the whole thing and burn the evidence.
Just because I feel pressured.
And knowing this does not make a difference.

I have a 1,131 day #Duolingo streak, and I deal with #DemandAvoidance like a MFer thanks to being #Autistic and #ADHD
This message is brought to you by my adderall prescription, cuz I couldn't get 30 days before I was on it, so don't be hard on yourself
First up— doing the dishes with ADHD
#executivedysfunction #adhd #demandavoidance
I planned to ring someone.
Then that person rang.
That instantly made it a demand. An expectation. It was no longer my choice. No longer on my terms.
Thanks PDA!

A whole snow day to rest up and write until my hand cramps? Awesome!
What did I do?
I built a lamp.

If music is your therapy, who's your therapist?
This one song specifically is my therapist (Good Charlotte, "The Anthem") but it's part of a whole #PDA #DemandAvoidance #DriveForAutonomy playlist which also includes "Whose Authority?" by Nada Surf and, wait for it, "Time to Be Awesome" (MLP Movie).

Wenn Du denkst, Du schaffst ja eh nix

Re: Fuck you, make me
At last there is a niche where my PDA could be of use

The most motivated I will ever be to organize is when I'm five minutes overdue to leave for work.

Does anything feel as good as that shower you finally convinced yourself to take?
#demandavoidance #neurospicy #neurodivergent
Sounds like you might be struggling with #demandavoidance which is also common in neurodivergent peeps…You want to do the things you like but you’re trying so hard to do something your brain thinks it’s an order and doesn’t want to do it anymore.
Dear old Twitter ‘health and care’ buddies if you’re here?
Does anyone know about Autism in teenage years… especially ‘demand avoidance’.
Is there such a thing as an autism family buddy?

The… I’m chasing #dopamine starter pack. You can catch me with #Coffee, probably #Cooking, #Shopping or somewhere #hyperfixating. #Booktok is only decent when I’m in the middle of #DemandAvoidance. 🤷🏽♀️
#DemandAvoidance symptoms get waaaaay better once you learn how to safely say "no" and "please" and "when I'm ready" to yourself
