Hi! I'm new here and looking to make new friends! I can be found elsewhere in the fediverse, but the server I'm usually on doesn't feel like the right place for spirituality. I was brought up Catholic and I rejected spirituality altogether for long time. But recently, I've found my way back to it on my own terms. In practice this looks like learning #tarot, but I've been dabbling in minor rituals a little as well. There's a decent chance I'll post some #art or talk about #books or #dance. I'll mostly avoid politics and how they affect my life, though it may come up in the context of tarot readings (in which case I use CNs). Other things to know about me: I'm 40 years old, #trans, #bi / #pan, #polyamorous, and #AuDHD. I'm originally from Germany 🇩🇪 (I've lived in 5 states, so it's hard to be specific). I've lived in the US 🇺🇸 for the past decade, where I'm on my fifth state, too (most recently #Colorado, which I *love*). I've also lived in Switzerland 🇨🇭 and Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. I'm functionally bilingual (#English and #German). I mostly understand #French 🇫🇷 but haven't spoken it in 20 years. I've learned #Japanese 🇯🇵 to about JLPT-4 level but that, too, is over a decade in my past. More recently, I've picked up some #BrazilianPortuguese 🇧🇷 (Babble says I'm around B2 level) but haven't really used it much. I can't keep up with written Japanese but I can get the general gist in all the other languages. 😄 I used to do federally funded #RenewableEnergy research but if you've been following the news, you may have guessed that I've had to pivot to other topics. In my personal life, I spend most of my time dancing #BrazilianZouk, painting, reading, and chilling with my three #cats: Charmander (orange, that's him in my profile pic), Anubis (black), and Trixie (technically brown tabby but mostly white). My favorite book genres are #fantasy and #scifi, but I also read a lot of #romance (mostly #queer), and I try to read at least one non-fiction book per month. #introduction

Can anyone recommended a good method for dealing with executive disfunction? I think I tried everything. There are a few things I should have dealt with months ago, instead I have completed hundreds of unnecessary projects. #ADHD #AuDHD #AskFedi

Fair comment on Elon Musk mischaracterising Autism and using it as an excuse to be a jerk. Using disability as a shield for bad behaviour is disgusting and disrespectful to people with disabilities. #ElonMusk #Autism #ADHD #AuDHD

A research supposedly confirming that ADHD and autism share specific brain connectivity patterns. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/04/260408225941.htm Interesting if the connectivity changes they see in MRT have anything to do with the one seen on EEG(as in my teens on my EEG there were some connectivity irregularities noticed) #autism #adhd #AuDHD #neurodivergent

I’ve avoided plenty of social situations in my life, but I’ve never actually followed through with my fantasy of becoming a hermit in the woods. 1/3 #ActuallyAutistic #AuDHD #Autistic #Neurospicy #Neurodiversity

Western society has a complicated history with mental health. Many people have been demonized, cast aside, and worse, when they didn’t meet artificial, unrealistic, standards for mental health. 1/2 #ActuallyAutistic #AuDHD #Neurodiversity #NeuroDivergent #Neurodiverse #ND

I generally am quite a clumsy person, but I just realized my clumsiness gets way worse when I am overwhelmed. Got to spend four days on the Easter holidays with my nephew - and till the end of the week it’s like clumsiness x10. Everything falls from my hands, I almost drowned my phone two times, accidentally broke several plates, a glads and a ceramic pot lid, flipped several dishes and bumped many things. I’m like a walking disaster by now, so I just am sitting on my sofa trying to not touch anything fragile or expensive till I get enough of my alone time. Did you also noticed being much more clumsy when you are overwhelmed and not having enough alone time? @autistics@fedigroups.social #autistic #AuDHD #neurodivergent

FYI, tomorrow is the last day for the early bird sign up bonus for my Autistic self-employment course. Learn to build systems into your business that prevent burnout by design. It's not tips and tricks. Not "just rest more." It's real structure that creates the outcomes you want. http://www.autismchrysalis.com/alchemy #ActuallyAutistic #AuDHD #AutisticBusiness #Neurodivergent #SelfEmployment #AutisticBurnout #SmallBusiness

Every self-employed Autistic I work with blames themselves. They're exhausted, stressed, wondering if they're cut out for this. But they're not the problem. Standard business advice wasn't built for neurodivergent brains. #ActuallyAutistic #AuDHD #Autistic #Neurospicy #Neurodiversity 1/2

#ActuallyAutistic #AuDHD What I needed to do to manage to fill out a single form for the social welfare office. -Take a two-hour shutdown nap in preparation -A careful mix of sedatives and diet cola to optimize my functional capabilities -Go to bathroom three times for emergency jettison of extraneous weight After-action report: Apprx 45% functionality achieved. My tummy feels like there's crude oil reserves there, I have a nasty migraine-like headache, and the next shutdown is coming on shortly. But only slight dissociation! So all and all fairly successful operation.

I have been working most of my life to try and fit into the standard neurotypical system, but also to try and break out of it. The system has never worked in my head. 1/2 #ActuallyAutistic #AuDHD #Autistic #Neurodiversity #Neurodivergent

Some quotes as I am able now to read the article. “The co‑occurrence of autism and ADHD is far more common than many people realize. Estimates suggest that roughly 30–80% of Autistic people also meet criteria for ADHD, while about 20–50% of people diagnosed with ADHD also meet criteria for autism, meaning a substantial portion of both communities live in this shared space. Until the DSM‑5 was published in 2013, clinicians were not formally allowed to diagnose autism and ADHD together, despite this high co‑occurrence“ #AuDHD #ADHD #autism #ActuallyAutistic ⬇️

Many aspects of our lives are shaped by strong social pressures, happenstance, luck, and (mis)fortune, that don’t necessarily reflect our actual preferences, yet it’s common that other people assume that’s what we wanted. Or we believe that lie ourselves, and we blame ourselves for not “making better choices”. #ActuallyAutistic #AuDHD #Autistic #Neurospicy #Neurodiversity

You deserve to have the capacity for having a life, for being able to engage with special interests, with friends, with family, with activities, with just resting, with whatever it is that makes you come alive. #ActuallyAutistic #AuDHD #Autistic #Neurodiversity

When I was a kid and complained the ice cream was cold, they laughed at me. When I fought my mom putting on tights, she would get exasperated. When I "went into a sulk" over a change of plans, they said it wasn't a big deal and I should just get over it. Labeling it "not a big deal" was a way for them to get off the hook of having to deal with what was really going on. https://youtube.com/shorts/b_EZ_iPFoaE?feature=share #ActuallyAutistic #AuDHD #Autistic #Neurospicy #Neurodiversity

My brain finds that it’s hard to predict a lot of the world and a lot of people. And so I tend to find comfort in trying to make things into absolutes. So things tend to be sorted into an all or a nothing, especially when I’m stressed. And one of my biggest revelations was, it’s not all or nothing. #ActuallyAutistic #AuDHD #Autistic #Neurodiversity #Acceptance
