Adult, Black & Definitely On The Spectrum

Act 8: Diagnosis & Accommodations, damn.

so…i was officially diagnosed. but i really wanna talk about ASD invisibility & Graduate school accommodations. skressed child, skressed.

Act 7: Incapacitating Food Frustrations

I can’t keep food down, I’m wasting money on food that I can’t bring myself to eat. I don’t want to stop what I’m doing to eat. I don’t want to eat but I’m sordidly hungry. Nothing helps, everything is closing in. Is this normal functioning?? (sorry for the background humming)

Act 6: The Friend Conundrum & Other Realizations

I rant about lack of friendships, not understanding friendships, not wanting friendships and all of its imbalances. Also! Calling myself out of my internal ableism. This is exhausting. TW: Self-Harm

Act 5: Overstimulation & Public Transportation

Learn why I’d rather stay home. Also, thinking of my life with contextual words like ableism!

Act 4: To Eat or Not to Eat…ugh

Choosing when and what to eat has really served as a challenge for me…ESPECIALLY when I’m on a schedule and i forget to schedule time to eat. This has gotten so bad that I’ve went to sleep hungry because I couldn’t make a decision or it was too late to eat. Anyways, have a listen. #timemanagement #executivedysfunction #autisticinertia
