Barefoot RamblingHave I talked about how for most of my adult live I described myself as being "wired differently" than everyone around me?Then as I explored the things that made me so different, I discovered that my Myers-Briggs type (INFJ) is the rarest and often called "The Mystic."Then, I discovered the idea of Highly Sensitive People (HSP) and had what I thought was an explanation for my sensory issues, too. THEN I added Empath to the list and I thought I had myself pretty well figured out.Yeah, turns out every single one of the things I was looking for an explanation for fall under the heading "undiscovered auDHD."One explanation to rule them all, if you will.I just read a book about INFJ writers (I'm one of those, too) and am almost through The Autistic Survival Guide to Therapy and have all kinds of thoughts swirling around.Watch this space, as soon as I can wrangle those thoughts into holding still long enough to get them down in writing, I'll have a post for y'all.Or, you know, several posts as this is a deep one.<a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/actuallyautistic" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@actuallyautistic</a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ActuallyAutistic</a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/ActuallyADHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ActuallyADHD</a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/auDHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#auDHD</a>

Barefoot RamblingSo I've had this repeating number sequence in my head for weeks.I'll space out and find myself tapping it out on my desk.Or with my tongue on the roof of my mouth.Or with my left foot on the dead pedal while driving.I had a flash today and realized it was the opening guitar riff from the Green Day song "wake me up when September ends," which I probably haven't heard since it was new 20 years ago.I don't even listen to Green Day. Didn't then, don't now.How in the hell did my brain grab onto that riff of all things and decide to play it—not the riff itself, just the repeating pattern—on repeat since sometime in March?!?!<a href="https://autistics.life/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ActuallyAutistic</a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/ActuallyADHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ActuallyADHD</a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/auDHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#auDHD</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/actuallyautistic" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@actuallyautistic</a>

Libre :neurodiversity:Unlearning conformist bigotry is so weird when you've been entrenched in it and brainwashed with it since you were a child. Instead of all those triggers at the world tells you you should be weirded out by, you now have to take that and flip that into celebrationIt's very freeing but that freedom is also mildly anxiety inducing as you have to re-learn boundaries of what is actually unacceptable.

I want more of us <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/neurodivergent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#neurodivergent</a> people to take up space.

Verđandi K. SoldustyMy brain rediscovered it's How to Clean & Tidy Stuff for Dummies yesterday & I've finally given my kitchen worktops a full clean, even the parts buried under things.Hopefully next time will be a little easier as the clean means I am finally using a few worktop storage racks & baskets that I probably bought over two months ago… Thinking about it I think I bought them before xmas 😅. Yeah, my concepts of past time tend to fall of a cliff after a few days or maybe a week.I've also finally tidied, cleaned & got my coffee tables looking a bit more festive to brighten the place up a bit.

V'gerWith my AuDHD diagnosis, I also started to re-evaluate my hobbies. Gaming is one of them and I noticed that, for a game to work for me, I need to get into a flow easily. That is basically the most important "feature" a game needs. Action RPGs, first person shooters, some types of simulation are games which almost guarantee to put me in that flow.I've always liked large scale strategy games (4x), or so I thought. With the classic real time strategy games from the 90s/2000s, it felt like I wouldn't be able to keep track of everything. So I turned to slower 4X or turn based games. The problems with those always was, that I couldn't get into a flow. Large scale 4X also has the problem for me, that a single game can take dozens of hours. And thanks to my AuDHD, I will lose interest in the game before ending the round. When I come back to it, I have to start over, as I have a hard time getting back into an old savegame.Yesterday, Tempest Rising was released. A game very similar to the Command & Conquer games. I watched a few games on Twitch and noticed that the players got into a kind of flow that I really liked to watch. So I bought the game and tried it. It took me a couple of missions, but I can definitely say that I have a much easier time getting into a flow in this game than in any 4X or turn based game I've played in the past five years. A mission only takes a few hours and I can put the game aside at any time, coming back to it easily when I'm up to it.So I've basically learned once again not to write something off because I just "feel" like I wouldn't be able to handle it. Just having this feeling could become an indicator for me that the game I'm looking at actually has very good potential to become a favorite of mine.<a href="https://chaugnar.daemonlair.org/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ActuallyAutistic</a> <a href="https://chaugnar.daemonlair.org/tags/ActuallyADHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ActuallyADHD</a> <a href="https://chaugnar.daemonlair.org/tags/ActuallyAuDHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ActuallyAuDHD</a>
