#neurodivergent

The difference between a genuine apology and a non-apology.

A non-apology goes like this:

1. Gaslight: “I'm sorry you feel that way.”
2. Explain: “There were (this, this and this) reasons why I did it.”
3. Poke: “And anyway, look at YOU!”

A genuine apology goes like this:

1. Acknowledge what you did: “I did this thing.” (Describe it as accurately as you can)
2. Express remorse: “I'm sorry I did that.”
3. Learn and change!

Voilà!

Sigh. Why did it take me 50 years to figure this out?

A reminder for my fellow witches. You're not behind, you're on witch time. #witch #witchcraft #witchtime #neurodivergent

Today I got my official diagnosis. Asperger's syndrome, at 31. My feelings about it are mixed. For years I was sure this was not about me, that I was just tired, or difficult, or not trying hard enough. Then about a year ago I hit an autistic burnout, the kind where you cannot pretend anymore, and I started digging into myself for real. Now there is a piece of paper that says what I had slowly started to suspect. Part of me feels relief, because so many things finally make sense. Another part of me keeps rereading my whole past with this new filter, and that part is not so calm. I will need some time to sort out what this changes and what it does not. #ActuallyAutistic #Autism #Asperger #AuDHD #Neurodivergent #LateDiagnosis #Fediverse

Hey, I am ‘himself’. I pretty much just love music, and I also spend as much time as I can trying to feel better and live longer, I'm not a health-freak as we used to call them, or a gym-bro as we still do. I do like a lot of other stuff, but it would just end up turning into a long, boring list, and I'm running out of characters. #Introduction #Music #Vinyl #Jazz #ProgRock #Health #Fitness #FiftyPlus #Neurodivergent #SevereMentalIllness #Ketogenic #MacOS #IOS #DebianLinux #Kernow #Cornwall

"Who needs labels anyway?" sounds progressive, but isn't. A 'label' can give people language for their experiences, a basis for organising, and access to a community. The interesting question - I think - isn't whether we have categories or not (we do. Ask any librarian or linguist). It's who gets to make and use the categories... and for what purpose. 💟 #Autism #ActuallyAutistic #ADHD #AuDHD #Neurodivergent #SocialJustice #EpistemicInjustice

💔 Please, where are the kind hearts? 😭🙏 It has been more than a week since I received a donation. My children are crying, and I am helpless, wondering how I will feed them tomorrow. I am a mother from Gaza, living through unbearable hardship, watching my children suffer while I have nothing to give them. Please, don't leave us alone. Even €1 could make a difference to my children's lives. Please donate, not just share. We desperately need your kindnes https://chuffed.org/project/178829 #Gaza #Palestine@mutualaid@fedigroups.social@mutualaid #disability #MutualAid #MutualAidRequest #IndigenousMutualAid #TransMutualAid#TransCrowdFund #DisabilityCrowdfund #neuroDivergent #ActuallyADHD #LGBTQIA #poverty #SettlerSaturday #DisabilityMutualAid #TransCrowdfund#HelpFolksLive2026#DisabilityMutualAid #Queer#QueerMutualAid🙏🙏

🚨 URGENT: I NEED €300 FOR A NEW TENT 🚨 Our tent is torn and badly damaged, and it is becoming harder every day to keep my children safe and protected inside it. 💔 We are still living in a tent in Gaza, and I desperately need €300 to replace it with a new one before winter arrives. I’m a mother trying to give my children the safest shelter I can. I cannot do this alone. Please, if you can donate €1, €5, or €10, every amount brings us closer to a new tent. 🔗 https://chuffed.org/project/178829@mutualaid@fedigroups.social@mutualaid #disability #MutualAid #MutualAidRequest #IndigenousMutualAid #TransMutualAid#TransCrowdFund #DisabilityCrowdfund #neuroDivergent #ActuallyADHD #LGBTQIA #poverty #SettlerSaturday #DisabilityMutualAid #TransCrowdfund#HelpFolksLive2026#DisabilityMutualAid #Queer#QueerMutualAid🥹🙏🙏
