Some people: “let’s have a call - it would be more personal than all these messages/emails!” Autistic me: *feels confused, because to me my written communication actually does feel personal; I put so much thought and effort - and so much of myself - into what I write*

The Autistic/ADHD urge to *fully* explore your hyperfixations. E.g if you hear a song you like, you may want to listen to every song that artist has made, then research them. If you read a book you like, you may want to read every book that author has written, then research them.

The autistic experience of your 100% effort often being comparable to other people’s 150% effort.

The autistic irony of feeling so uncomfortable being perceived yet often unintentionally standing out from the crowd because of your differences.

‘You’re always so prepared!’ Thank you! I’m autistic and need to be at least twice as prepared just to feel half as comfortable.

The autistic experience of being told you have a wild imagination one minute, then the next minute finding out that you weren’t imagining anything at all; you were just a few steps ahead.

The Autistic/ADHD urge to spend more time researching something that you enjoyed watching, reading, listening to or playing than you actually spent watching, reading, listening to or playing it.

An exhausting part of being autistic, for me, is often having to work hard to learn social cues and conventions that a lot of people either intuit or learn with ease. Trying to learn things that are seldom (if ever) talked about can be so challenging and draining.

The ADHD experience of rushing to google something, but forgetting what you wanted to google before you even begin typing.
