Back When The Spotify Wrapped Playlist Of 2018 Came Out, I Was Confused To Find The Mission Impossible

First anime I ever watched an episode: Sailor Moon

First anime I attempted to get into the series but couldn’t fully: My Hero Academia

First anime I devoured from start to finish and need more of: Saga of Tanya the Evil

I feel like Food Wars also needs a mention here, but it’s a very casual watch for me.

That post about death note being "everyone's first anime" (untrue statement) made me curious and now I want to gather data for science

Can you reblog this and tell me where are you from and what was your starter anime?

TikTok encouraged me to do some deeper digging about myself, but I did the research. And I’m trying to get an official diagnosis. Very difficult to do when you’re 36 and a woman who did well in primary and secondary school, and always made friends easily. But it is disabling most days.

If you haven’t yet, check out the website embrace-autism.com and the FB community associated with the site. Some of the best resources I’ve been pointed to.

i hate that tiktok has turned autism into "im so quirky and slightly socially awkward, i eat with small spoons and walk around with t-rex hands". its a fucking disability and creating this narrative only furthers the stigma of the traits that actually affect peoples lives. making autism sound fun and relatable does absolutely nothing good. the only thing it will do is demonize autistic traits and create another "well youre not autistic cause thats not what autism looks like" exept this time its people with higher support needs who will get the most affected and i hate that

(edit: i didnt really word this correctly and idk if it really comes across in the way i meant but i definitely didnt mean that every autistic person only should show their struggles or even that autistic people owe anyone showing their struggles. autistic people should be able to show joy online and i, and other autistic people do relate to some of these memes and theres nothing wrong with that. my point was that i dont like that the word autistic is turning into meaning quirky and i did blame these tiktoks for it, while thats probably not right i do think that they contribute to this. again i didnt mean to put down other autistic people and im sorry if it came across this way. (i do however still stand by my original point and from what people said in the notes it seems like other people do as well so im gonna keep the original post up, just with this clarification))

I recently had to do this and it was stressful af!

You think prepping for first dates or job interviews is hard? Try prepping for an appointment with a new primary/GP when you have a chronic illness.

-symptoms (when they started, how long they last, how frequent they are, new symptoms since seeing old doctors, pictures with dates and short explanations)

-tests done already, test results, tests that need to be done regularly

-conditions that have been screened for, conditions that need to be regularly screened for, secondary conditions due to primary condition(s), how different conditions are managed

-an elevator speech practiced so that you can cover everything important in a short amount of time (especially difficult if new doctor hasn’t heard of condition)

it’s fun to stay at the Y

Just pay attention. :)

ADHD Awareness Month

nobody:

my autistic dad:

We’re still in the waiting room. It’s insanely busy. And the tremors are getting worse. Yay for cold and flu season…

Wife and I are at the ER. She’s been having what her neurologist (our neurologist? We see the same guy) think are seizures. She’s been having small tremors off and on since February. We think it was caused by Paxil, which she rapid detoxed from under medical care a few months ago.

Today the whole body tremors/shaking are constant. With all her medical issues, I try to stay positive and strong. We do it for each other.

Hubby is at home getting cleaning done for the plumbing. It’s just another day in our life. It’s weird.
