Comment on It makes me shudder
AyuTsukasa@lemmy.zip 5 hours agoIt’s kinda concerning how people often are taking normal reactions/behaviors and labeling them as autistic or ADHD.
There is an issue in autistic individuals with textures. And it’s an issue you can’t really understand if you don’t suffer it. Yeah, I dress by texture rather than fashion. And those tags are hellish to me and many other autistic people in ways that only them understand.
It’s kinda concerning and pretty annoying when some people start with the “this is a normal reaction, not an autistic thing”.
I’m not sure if it applies to autism to the same degree, but that’s actually one of the main problems with ADHD:
Most of our symptoms are things that neurotypicals struggle with too, but taken to 11 because of congenital differences in neurochemistry including but in no way limited to chronic dopamine deficiency.
You try having ADHD and going 24 hours without food. All you can think about is eating. It’s very distracting. It’s an ADHD thing 🤷♀️
ironically I often forget to eat and get trapped in binge/fast cycles unless I painstakingly log every single thing I eat.
Same with OCD

Everyone pisses, but if you did it 50 times a day you’d go to a doctor.
