What if Aragorn had autism? Middle earth herbology and the study of Kingsfoil #spreadsheetsforthewin #lotr #aragorn #asd #viggo #autism

I like this idea. This is as tart on tomorrow’s cartoon.

Before texting there was fire! I work with NDs, when the phone rings most of us run the opposite direction. Avoiding personal calls can cost more ADHD tax, putting off appointments, checking on finances, etc. If I didn’t have to climb mountains w: fire, I would rather light the Beacons. #lotr #adhd

I laughed so hard when we had this exchange. I’m thinking, WTF is WRONG with you?? But it can be a part of neurodivergent auditory hypersensitivity or #hyperacusis. I have misophonia, chewing, swallowing, or loud breathing makes me 😡 Can’t say I’m annoyed by my eyelids however. #neurospicy

Where’s OUR safety net? Neurodivergence support is difficult to find, diagnosis is
$$$, social stigma is rampant. What has helped YOU dealing with ADHD, autism, AUDHD, etc?

“Here’s the thing you need to understand,” said Stitch when I laughed as she pulled 6 tubes of lipstick from her bag while looking for gum. “You’re an artist, it’s like mixing paint. You’ve got your bases, your workhorse, and your flourishes. And then there’s the Champion.” #neurodivergent #lipstick

Same. I wear overalls every damn day. The pockets hold EVERYTHING, from pens, notebook, cell phone, matches, pocket knife, business cards, spell jars, and good luck charms. 🌪️🧠♾️🩷

I believe they hide in a corner, mate, and produce battery doors that don’t fit ANYTHING.

How many circles of Hell? Eight? Eighty? For Neurodivergents there’s at least 9: Shopping, Parties, Work, Crowds, Doctor/Dentist, School, Airport, Automated Phone Calls, The DMV. #circlesofhell #funnystuffthatsnojoke #adhd #audhd #autism #dantesinferno #dmv #neurospicy

As a neurodivergent, what clothing do you like to wear? I meant to draw this like we were modeling, but it sort of looks like we gotta go pee. I wear overalls every day, but Stitch likes variety. #keyoveralls #libertyoveralls #adhd #autism #asd #audhd
