  • The ‘do you mind’ question a great example of why many neurodivergent people have such a hard time in social settings, keeping track of all of the contradictory social expectations that don’t make sense is tiring and not everyone is consistent.

    Yes! Thank you very much. It’s at least a triple-effect because (1) we get confused about what the response means so we have to focus on solving the riddle, (2) solving the riddle consumes more mental energy so we have less in reserve, and (3) we miss out on everything that occured while we were figuring out the riddle so we have to catch up when we already run slower.

    Pedants: He asked if she minded. She responded saying, “Sure thing,” which is an affirmative response, meaning that she did mind. He still attempted to use the bathroom despite her saying she was uncomfortable with that.

    I have difficulty with interactions in which people use “do you mind” that I have to be extra clear. Anyone else?










  • I’ve been having my morning coffee outside every morning, and that’s been helpful. I take it as it telling my body it’s day time.

    Waking up at the same time everyday even if i go to sleep late.

    I set an alarm for 1 hr before I wake up to take my meds. When I wake up, I’m ready to go rather than drag butt around the entire house until I feel awake.

    If you can find an avenue, check in with someone every morning to tell them how you feel. It can be as simple as a word or longer. This makes you notice so you can adjust as necessary. It also may help you feel bonded or at least less alone.

    Daily walks at night when the world has stopped, no one is outside, it’s quiet and dark. I put on headphones and take my dog. I can walk and look as ridiculous as I want and be free from everyone’s opinions and judgments.

    Make sure you do at least 1 productive thing towards a long-term goal per day, even if it’s super simple. I have a few long-term goals broken down into lists, so I go through them and pick at least one thing to check off. I usually go with ones I feel like doing that day.

    Edit: Do something artistic/creative at least once/week. No boundaries, no goals, no intent. Just go with how you feel and see what comes out.
