Yes I know I haven’t documented my nursing journey and baby that’s cause I’m trying to keep up, but I am studying right now and thought about how I eat. Am I the only one?#latediagnosedautistic #neurodivergent #autismacceptance #lunch

One time I even threw all my pots away. My then partner had cooked and left everything out for two days. I was exhausted, spent, burned out and he expected ME to clean it. Baby no. It all went Into the trash cause I couldn’t do it but I also couldn’t keep looking at it #latediagnosedautistic #neurodivergent #overwhelmed #autismacceptance #auadhd

I don’t do well in group projects but clearly I have to adapt for the outside world. The noise of others talking while my brain is trying to process makes it very difficult for me and I left class anxious and nauseated#latediagnosedautistic #neurodivergent #autismacceptance #nursingstudent

Teacher made it seem like an option (it wasn’t I got let off with a warning)but the noise from conversation didn’t allow me to work with another. Did 2x the work and got it all done correctly but the assignment said more than one. Having Autism and ADHD is a constant fight Internally. I’m drained mentally from having to be social, I need to ritualistic steady day and yet I’m bored the first half of class cause they’re talking too slow. I need a nap. #latediagnosedautistic #neurodivergent #autismacceptance #auadhd

As @Tam Tam 🪄🦄🇹🇹 says “get up best friend we got $#!+ to do” #happytuesday

Why do instructors get so excited over an ice breaker. I feel like a bum because I see their faces light up and my insides are turning. Please don’t make me do this #latediagnosedautistic #neurodivergent #autismacceptance #1stdayofschool #icebreakers

I wanted to be a dermatologist but you know life has a way of steering things a different direction…so the end goal is nurse practitioner. Yall send prayers and love. #latediagnosedautistic #neurodivergent #autismacceptance #1stdayofschool #nursingstudent

#latediagnosedautistic #neurodivergent #irishgoodbye Too many people already, they’re all talking…idk what to do, I leave

We know everything about the things we like. We are walking encyclopedias and Google search#latediagnosedautistic #neurodivergent #autismacceptance #humor

Who your partner is when you have autism can make or break your nervous system#latediagnosedautistic #neurodivergent #autismacceptance

Making friends isn’t easy #latediagnosedautistic #neurodivergent #autismacceptance

Autism is a neurological disorder. You can’t see it. Just like you can’t see fibromyalgia #latediagnosedautistic #neurodivergent #auadhd #autismacceptance

I am now 40 and overstimulated. Every time I thought about my hair I got anxious and overwhelmed. But I can’t walk out looking crazy. After months of back and forth in my mind I took the plunge. Now this is one less thing to worry about outside of my re tie appointments#latediagnosedautistic #neurodivergent #microlocs #microlocsjourney #microlocsinstallation @Klawtingz did my 5/16 sized locs. Hit her up

As soon as those meds kick in and the adhd is silenced #latediagnosedautistic #neurodivergent #auadhd

What triggers you all into meltdown? For me my hair has always been one but it cycles into levels of tolerances. Lately I wanna cry every time I have to touch it so I’m gonna try microlocs. #latediagnosedautistic #neurodivergent #auadhd #microlocs

I see the words, I read the words, i understand the words, but it’s just like …Huh??#latediagnosedautistic #neurodivergent #auadhd #adhd

Sometimes this song will play over and over in my head while I’m trying to keep the mask up. The social norms just don’t always click for me and it makes me self conscious #latediagnosedautistic #neurodivergent #auadhd #autismacceptance

#latediagnosedautistic #neurodivergent #auadhd #autisticburnout yall it’s, naw, if I’m outside yall gonna see me for 2.5 seconds before I Irish goodbye

People think it’s something we can will ourselves out of. It’s not. It’s a nervous system overload that can take a bit of downtime and times isolation to recharge from. #latediagnosedautistic #neurodivergent #auadhd #autismacceptance

Making it through anything social is a challenge #latediagnosedautistic #neurodivergent #auadhd #autismacceptance

For me growing up like this I didn’t understand and kinda just accepted that they were going to make fun of me. Sort of just laugh as well just to get along even though it did hurt. Now I’m older and I’ve had therapy so I’m better. They don’t wanna play no more #latediagnosedautistic #neurodivergent #auadhd #autismacceptance

Look sometimes (a lot of times) I get hyperfixed on the exact same meal and that’s all I want until it’s suddenly disgusting. Then I move on to the next thing #latediagnosedautistic #neurodivergent #auadhd #adhdprobs

The end of the school year had me in straight up burnout and my body was reacting. Now that summer break has started and I got a chance to recalibrate im feeling better but I know im not the only one that hits that burnout where you just cannot. It’s not something neurotypicals understand. Its not a thing we can push through. #latediagnosedautistic #neurodivergent #auadhd #autismacceptance

#latediagnosedautistic #neurodivergent #autismacceptance #auadhd

Life is crazy but I’m thankful#latediagnosedautistic #neurodivergent #autismacceptance #auadhd

Im a visual hands on learner is lectures are difficult #latediagnosedautistic #neurodivergent #stimmingpositivity

Being misunderstood constantly seems to be a thing with Auadhd. I use to pretend to get it but now I don’t and people can’t handle the questions of clarification…they belittle. Now I’m unbothered. I don fit the social construct and I like it that way. #latediagnosedautistic #neurodivergent #auadhd #autismacceptance

Irish goodbye me please #latediagnosedautistic #neurodivergent #auadhd

What is your superpower as a neurodivergent? We are all so diverse with different strengths. #latediagnosedautistic #neurodivergent #auadhd
