Tim McTufftyDiary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 592 , Wednesday 11/06/2025Wednesday started a little before the alarm went off - I do love sunny mornings!It’s been a quiet day again, but nice & warm.Final Thoughts.I wish I could build some motivation & enthusiasm for the analog world, the virtual world is a much nicer place to inhabit.Thank you to all those who are helping me on this journey, in a myriad different ways. I am thankful to each & every one of you! 🫂 🫶🐿️🖖 <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/actuallyautistic" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@actuallyautistic</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/TimsASDjourney" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TimsASDjourney</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ActuallyAutistic</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Neurospicy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Neurospicy</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/TheMammutMoves" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TheMammutMoves</a>

Cobalt :heart_cyber:Need advice from <a href="https://rage.love/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ActuallyAutistic</a> and <a href="https://rage.love/tags/ActuallyADHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ActuallyADHD</a> people about demand avoidance. This gets called Persistent Drive for Autonomy or Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA). I experience it to some degree, but mine doesn't seem as severe as other ppl's. Knowing I need to learn, remember, or do something doesn't on its own make it impossible for me. This limits my perspective, I think, bc it's not impeding my cognitive autonomy the way I see happening to others.For people whose PDA does hit that level, how did you get enough cognitive autonomy to be able to meet commitments you made, or make progress on tasks you don't feel you should have to do? Is it just a matter of executive function and emotional regulation, or is there specific work that helped you?My hypothesis is ACT, to help people make decisions based on their own internal priorities and not necessarily 100% based on whether someone else wants a particular outcome (either by internalizing or categorically rejecting external demands). But I'm hoping someone else knows more.

Verđandi K. SoldustyReason 4806 for giving me written info: Supposed to be attending funeral & wake today. Only given verbal instructions on time & place. Trying to outsmart my brain so I'd be there at the right time I put it into my phone calendar with reminders. Get to the day & I figure I should give myself anyway extra 15 minutes to get there as I always end up running late. Time in the title/description …? Is that for the funeral or the wake? … must be for the wake as the leaving time I've set for the last reminder would get me there half an hour early at my usual pace & taking late departure into account. Get to the crematorium for the funeral but nobody is there. There is a funeral cortege arriving but it's clearly family only as it's very short & the place is devoid of other vehicles for other attendees. Back to car. Did they change the funeral to family only & no one told me? Maybe, fair enough. Or am I too early or late? Well, I can drive to where the wake is happening. Gey there at about the time… agaon, nobody there for a wake. Internally I'mfreaking out.I'll just wait outside, they'llturn up eventually, won't they?It's been just over half an hour & I'm losing trust in anything about this funeral.Time to go home & console myself with whatever I have the energy to console myself with.<a href="https://beige.party/tags/Life" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Life</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/AuDHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AuDHD</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Autistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Autistic</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ADHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ADHD</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ActuallyADHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ActuallyADHD</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ActuallyAutistic</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/EpicFails" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EpicFails</a>

Heather Cook🖖Autistic CoachYou’ve just got a lot of crap in your head from other people telling you that you’re not good at stuff, and you believed it because it seemed like the truth. It feels very true.

🔥Cassandra🔥At my last session with the food therapist, I learned about the existence of the Emotion-Sensation Wheel, which identifies emotions and a whole bunch of ways those emotions could physically manifest in the body.

Tim McTufftyDiary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 591 , Tuesday 10/06/2025Tuesday started earlier than I intended, after a monster gaming session till gone midnight last night I bunged my ear plugs in & reset the alarm to 08:00 Of course my body had other ideas & dragged me out of bed at just before 7am! Mrs S was in the office today - peace reigned! Did my chores then hid away in night city again! Came back to the analog world briefly to scoff a hotdog for lunch! Had a M&S chicken plaster thing with mint & cucumber, it was really very nice! Caught up a couple of Mrs S’s TV shows & that was, as they say that! Final Thoughts.Nope - today is one of those days when my brain is completely empty (don’t go there!!). Thank you to all those who are helping me on this journey, in a myriad different ways.

Only for me, its sensations even above noise. I feel things that I “shouldn’t feel”. Things that “shouldn’t cause pain” do. I will also sometimes feel the involuntary body stuff you’re not supposed to register.I think many <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ActuallyAutistic</a> people get gaslit and dismissed in the medical system because we DO feel and experience things differently.

EzrineLe levain de gingembre s'appelle Jérôme. C'est pas moi, c'est Belette. Moi, j'ai seulement dit : "souvent les gens qui font du levain leurs donnent un prénom, comme c'est vivant". Du coup, c'est bien pratique parce que j'ai pu dire à Jérôme que j'étais très fière de lui, lui donner à manger et lui faire faire son petit rototo. Jérôme est jeune mais Jérôme ira loin !
