Something that I have long suspected, talking to another neurodiverse person is like speaking in another language, I often feel like I'm not even the same species as neurotypical people.

From Dr Devon Prices's Unmasking Autism:

"Sasson and colleagues, in 2017 for example, found that neurotypical people quickly and subconsciously identified that a stranger is autistic, often within milliseconds of meeting them. They don't realise that they have identified the person as autistic, though. They just think the autistic person is 'weird'.

Participants in the study were less interested in engaging in conversation with autistic people and liked them less than non-autistics. All based on a brief moment of social data.

It is important to point out that the autistic people in this study didn't do anything wrong. Their behaviour was perfectly socially appropriate, as was the content of their speech. Though they tried their damnedest to present as neurotypical, their performance had some key tells and was just slightly off and they were disliked because of it."

Just to save time and resources. I did it for them.

BBC headline stating that RFK Jr has pledged to find the cause of autism by September. below is an image of DNA with an arrow pointing to autism. next to it are the words "I already found it"

Yeah...this is me.

I know few things about a lot of things, but a lot about a few things.

A relatable and melancholic meme combining a text post with a visual for comedic effect.

The text reads:
“being called smart because you have a variety of information on different subjects but in reality it’s all surface level intelligence and you don’t feel like you’re really good at anything”

Below the text is an image of a costumed person wearing a Grover mask (from Sesame Street), dressed in a jacket and sitting slumped on a curb next to a trash can in the dark, evoking a mood of quiet existential crisis. The lighting and setting give it a lonely, contemplative vibe that perfectly complements the caption, making it both funny and painfully relatable.

I work with a presumed Allistic individual as part of a two person team and there are times when it drives me nuts because he and I don't always meet eye-to-eye.

However we both have a drive to get things done right and take care of our customer base and we do a damn good job at it because I have bottom-up thinking and he has top-down thinking and he catches my tone and I catch his details.

It makes a really, really strong case for neurodiversity in the workplace and the output shows well. Really great to experience this and I hope more workplaces open up to this mindset. Diversity is power.

Dammit! Not again!

A meme that humorously illustrates how ADHD can affect focus and attention to detail. The top text reads:

“Dad: Fill out the form carefully. We only have one.
Me with ADHD:”

Below is a form where someone has written:

“Name: Peter Parker
Last name: ?”

Underneath the form are two images of Peter Parker (played by Tobey Maguire) looking confused and deep in thought, emphasizing the moment of realization or mental blank that comes with ADHD-related distraction. The meme is tagged with @adhdmemess.

Dammit! I always find the memes that are so damn relatable!

This is me.

This image humorously presents a made-up word formatted like a dictionary entry:

Exhausterwhelmulated

Adjective

1. The feeling of being exhausted, overwhelmed and overstimulated all at once

It’s a relatable term for anyone who’s experienced the chaotic combination of burnout and sensory overload, especially common in neurodivergent or high-stress experiences.

This is me. Don't @ me!

A meme that humorously captures the internal struggle of someone with ADHD trying to control impulsive behavior.

The top text reads:
“me to myself: you are going to stop googling every question that pops in your head”

The response, labeled “my adhd,” is followed by a reaction image of a man saying:
“The fuck you are.”

It highlights how difficult it can be for people with ADHD to resist the urge to immediately satisfy their curiosity, often leading to constant distractions.

It's been more than a third of a century since most of the key ideas needed to make sense of autistic experience were formulated.

It's encouraging to see people finally starting to listen, but frustrating that it's taken so long, and infuriating that so many people (and organisations) still haven't caught up.

I wrote about the key lessons people should have learnt by now from the autistic community.
