ND culture is taking it as a personal attack when someone expresses distaste for something you love
#NeurodivergentCulture
ND culture is closely examining the face of the guy beside you as he's nattering on and on without even stopping for breath, and if he thinks to ask what you're doing, answering "I'm trying to find the off switch for your mouth"
#NaturallyNeurodivergent
#ActuallyAutistic
#NeurodivergentCulture
ND culture is being honest when being asked for honesty and then being called rude for being honest.
#NeurodivergentCulture
ND culture is noticing that your vocabulary is 10x more prodigious when you're discussing an important, engaging subject than when you're trying to make useless small talk
#NeurodivergentCulture
#ActuallyAutistic
#NaturallyNeurodivergent
ND culture is backing out of every group you've tried joining when you observe even the dimmest hint that you're not wanted (even if no such hint has actually been dropped)

#NaturallyNeurodivergent
ND culture is detesting grocery shopping because you're positive that other customers and stockers are purposely trying to run you over with their carts 😭
And you're so desperate to get out you forget the one thing you came for that you really needed
#NeurodivergentCulture
#NaturallyNeurodivergent
ND culture is seeing that you got a voicemail and being deathly afraid to listen to it, because it means the phone call was important enough to justify a voicemail and the caller most likely expects you to get back to them 🙀
#ActuallyAutistic
#NaturallyNeurodivergent
#NeurodivergentCulture
ND culture is making a dreaded phone call and hoping it goes to voicemail so you don't have to talk directly to anyone

ND culture is grasping at any possible excuse to avoid gym class, because you aren't athletic, the teacher is ableist, the boys blast you for being a girl and the girls blast you for developing early (in all 3 dimensions)
#ActuallyAutistic

#NaturallyNeurodivergent
ND culture is your teacher telling you to "broaden your horizons" and stop writing about your special interest in your classroom journal 😿

ND culture is timing and systematizing your meds so they don't interact with any other meds or drugs you might have recently taken
#NeurodivergentCulture

ND culture is your sensory overloads being 10x worse when you're stressed and overstimulated out of your mind 😵
#ActuallyAutistic
#NeurodivergentCulture
ND culture is chatting with someone until they stop answering you, which you interpret to mean they don't want to talk to you anymore so you just stop trying to maintain the friendship altogether
#NeurodivergentCulture

ND culture is relishing the feel of snug-fitting clothing and the way it hugs your curves, tugs at your girl bits and gives you a deep pressure sensation all over... mmmmm 😽
#ActuallyAutistic #NeurodivergentCulture #NeurodiverseSquad #SensoryFriendlyClothing
ND culture is everybody thinking you're going to be a carbon copy of your older sibling when you're little, and wondering what the fuck is wrong with you when you start expressing a glimmer of individuality.
