Why did I read this like patch notes on a game?

Anybody got a sense evil spell prepared?

Everybody check your trinkets and see which is glowing. We need an ID on this creature before initiative.

And now it is also my favorite bee anatomy fact!

Neurodivergent people getting cranky on the internet? Whaaaaaat?

But actually, getting into fights online is dopamine seeking behavior. So being nitpicky, cranky, pedantic nerds is kind of a symptom.

In Breath of the Wild, that’s how you get your hang glider. From an old man.

Me, two days ago. Got in so, so much trouble at work. Get home, oh. There’s my pill, on my desk.

The Cheat is grounded! We had that light switch installed for you so you could turn the lights on and off, not so you could throw light switch raves!

I want to offer you a new superpower.

When I say, “bless you,” when someone sneezes, if someone asks me, “You aren’t religious! Who are you asking to bless me?” I answer;

“No one. I’m the one blessing you.”

So I guess, this time, you could say, “You’re doing a good thing.”

If I open my door Thursday night and go to put candy in someone’s bag and see a toothbrush, I’m giving them a second handful of candy.

I wonder if this is what people felt like when they first started reading about AIDs. We used to have it so good…

I take stimulant medication for my crippling ADHD and while it’s in my system, I am suddenly aware of where I am, in relation to other things. I don’t run into things, I don’t trip on nothing.

When I’m at baseline, I have been known to tip over while standing.

This isn’t an ad for medication. There are massive drawbacks to it. It’s just a reiteration that this isn’t our fault. It’s not that we’re “clumsy.” It’s not that we’re stupid. In this case it isn’t even that we’re unobservant! It’s that neurologically typical people often “feel” where they are in relation to everything around them without trying.

We are fundamentally missing a sense of spacial relation, completely without a frame of reference to everything around us. That isn’t a flaw that we possess because of something we are doing “wrong,” or because we don’t try. And when I realized that, especially since I’m a woman (and grew up verbally brutalized over my unbecoming bruises), it made me angry.

It can also occur in folks with other neurodivergence but yes, there’s a legit reason why bruises are meme-worthy (and why I get my undies in a twist when people act like it’s not a legit symptom).

Lot of disinformation in the answers you got so I’m here to clear it up.

>Alterations to proprioception is a sensory characteristic that is inherent to ADHD symptomology.

>Proprioception is guided by receptors in the body that connect with the brain through the nervous system so that even without sight, a person knows what his or her body is doing.

Basically, for many people without ADHD, we aren’t so good at sensing where our bodies are in relation to the world around us. So it’s not abnormal to, say, run into doors when walking through them.

I’m pretty much perpetually covered in bruises.

Oh my God! No, thank you!

Poor man.

He taught us so much about facing death with dignity.

Our problem is we can’t remember the last place we used it. Executive dysfunction is definitely cruel.

I’m pretty open with my struggles with depression and how I managed to actually overcome them with persistence and treatment. So, no, we’re not.

Won’t be lettin strangers on the internet erase all my hard work.

The bar is in hell.
