Living an autistic and ADHD life. What's it really like? I explore how I feel the world differently and challenge the myths, the misunderstanding and the misconceptions.
I am not sure that society understands the many ways that people feel, and hear, and see the world differently. And I would like us to change that.
The negative language and lists of deficits and impairments drive the stereotypes and make people reluctant to recognise or identify that they may be neurodivergent or neurodifferent. I am autistic, ADHD and dyspraxic but so many other conditions and issues affect neurology. Some we are born with and some, like depression, anxiety, PTSD and CPTSD, we acquire through life and trauma, abuse and accident.
Why is this needed for me to exist? Am I only valid if someone likes my story? How can we tell the stories of ordinary people living extraordinary lives if we reject them based on the likes of others? Do you have a story to share? I would like to find a way to hear…
Autism ADHD and so much more.
