#askautistic #askadhd do u folks feel like you would like to stop talking bc you don& #39;t know how to do it right. Ive lost much more than I& #39;ve gained from talking. I yearn for the days when people let me & #39;get away with& #39; strictly non-verbal comm, unlike now when I try(& fail) at/1
masking my discomfort with speaking without being able to disect everything Im saying presently. Like I know I can& #39;t do that bc people have always told be thats wrong for me to do but I do it in my head all the time anyway. If I can& #39;t do it out load bc they don& #39;t want to hear /2
my thoughts and all the process behind them why do I have to be verbal at all. I don& #39;t want to put in the effort to be a human being, as I& #39;ve been trying to do since the first time someone told me I was doing this all wrong. I especially don& #39;t want to put in the effort bc I /3
end up being crises and berated for doing it all wrong anyway. Even tho I& #39;m trying to do what they& #39;ve told me to do from the first time I "messed up" in their eyes. Do I have to force verbal communication onto myself if I& #39;ve never felt comfortable with how I am capable of /4
communicating verbally? #askautistic #askadhd I& #39;m just trying to find answers bc everytime I bring it up w/ my drs, support system, they always dismiss this need I have to stop talking bc "I& #39;m an adult now" or /5

It always feels like their solutions are so that I can go back to being as close to neurotypical as they can get me to act.
But meds, extra support, being more accommodating, etc: it& #39;s not gonna help me in the way I need. /6

How come people that love me won& #39;t let me go back to being non-verbal if that& #39;s what I need? Why don& #39;t they take into account how lucky u have to be to get a doctor to take ur symptoms and needs seriously when ur neurodiverse? #askadhd #askautistic /end
