neurodivergent culture is being excited about your blorbo’s (/fave/hyperfixation/special interest) birthday way more than you are about your own’s
I think THE most fun and sexy brain thing I have going on is that I pick up speech patterns just Incredibly easily, which includes such sources as Memes and Classic Lit so yknow. That’s why I sound like this
I will see a sentence and be like “oh baby put that in the Linguistic Soup”
this is my tiktok lmao @deafocrat if y’a wanna follow, but here’s a little studyblr reality check
Yeah s*x is great but have you ever tried laying in your bed at 3 am thinking about every dysfunctional aspect of your life and convincing yourself to change everything the next day?
Does anyone else when it is time to wash your hair just… Stands in front of the shower?
For 20 minutes.
Cause you can’t move back or forward?
Executive Dysfunction really hits hard sometimes.
I thought a really mind blowing thought then I immediately forgot it and I think that sums up my existence pretty nicely
–the Only Mood everyone else knows about: i wanna do THIS and THIS and THIS and THIS and THIS and–SQUIRREL
–galaxy brain: i was listening to the lecture but the prof said something that reminded me of something else and now i’m not sure how much time i was lost in thought
–the tutorial only comes in video format: i’m sorry, but you’ve thrown off the emperor’s groove *hurls product & its tutorial video into the sun*
–damn you hyperfocus: i went to bed intending to wake up and write but this morning i was possessed by a cleanliness spirit and spent the next 14 hours organizing the apartment
–i dont think u tried at all.jpg: did i seriously spend an entire free day refreshing twitter b/c i didn’t want to spend 10 minutes finishing my hw but wouldn’t let myself do anything else until i finished it???? (yes)
–patrick star: *unlocks phone* time to check the weather. *opens twitter* the weather. *opens messenger* the weather. *opens mobage game* theweather.*opens facebook* the weather. *opens twitter again* THE WEA–

Ok so I’ve found a way to describe what Neurodivergent Can’t Do Task Mode™ feels like to neurotypicals
So you know how you can’t make yourselfputyour hand down on a hot stovetop? There’s a part of your brainthatstops you from doing that? That’s what Neurodivergent Can’t Do Task Mode™ feels like
Even if we want to do it, there’s a barrier stopping us from doing it, and it’s really hard to override
Andwhydoesour brain see the task as a hot stovetop? Because when neurotypicals finish a task, they get serotonin, but we don’t get that satisfactionaftercompleting a task. A neurotypical wouldn’t get serotoninfromputting their hand on a hot stovetop, it would just hurt. When we can’t do a task, it’s because our brain knows that the taskwillhurt (metaphorically) and wants to avoid that.
It’snot that we’re choosing not to do the task, it’s that our brain is physically preventing us from doing it.
Neurotypicals can and should reblog but please don’t add anything
(Sorry/not sorry about the random bolding, it makes it easier for us to read)
oh god no sensory experience compares to playing mancala. like the little stones. the perfect wooden wells. the satisfaction of the dropping noises. it’s like heaven
