  • Its so frustrating finding out about a symptom I’m struggling with, and I try to look it up and its all aimed at kids. Even if its all targeted at kids, those kids will grow up and become adults, and still have the same issues and I don’t understand why.

    I think you’re right with the whole grow out of it thing. It fundamentally won’t for any of my ND stuff, I will just get better over time at managing, but its hard to do that when there’s no support. It’s like the phrase “stop making autism your whole personality”, no I cannot do that because fundamentally it affects everything.

    TLDR: I agree and I hate how resources are aimed at NTs despite the fact that we are autonomous adults, and even then kids need to feel like you understand and aren’t just talking at them.





  • This is definitely making me go hmm. I am diagnosed with dyslexia (and so many other things), but I struggle so much with math. Weird part is it should have been picked up with testing, then again uh my very obvious autism and ADHD was missed so who knows.

    Reading others comments here too helps since I really do struggle with math it feels like trying to juggle. I can do fine with a few, but some concepts just take out everything. It’s to the point where I’m a computer science major, and I dropped down to a Bachelor’s of Arts because I’m trying to avoid math as much as possible (I’m planning on doing web work so less heavy math)

    Thank you for this post, maybe this was the last push I needed to see and go research more
