Hi! Everyone I talk to is sure I'm some kind of neurodivergent but no one knows which one. Anywhoo, This is just a place for fellow ND's to talk (I imagine there's a lot of us on here)!

Hello!!!!!!! ^^

Don’t mind my autistic self just spontaneously appearing over here.

It’s nice knowing that other people are crazy with me lol.

I HAVE GLITTER IN MY BRAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHY IS EXISTING SO HORRIBLE RIGHT NOW CHECKLIST:

Is the discomfort physical or emotional?

Physical:
When did you last have water?
-Drink water.
When did you last eat?
-Have a snack.
How long have you been sitting?
-Get up, jump around, stim.
When did you last sleep?
-Rest.
Is something preventing you from solving your problem?
-Ask for help. If help is denied demand help. If that doesn’t work, leave. Whoever you’re with is being ableist and a jerk.

Emotional:
When did you last stim?
-Hardcore stim sesh!
When did you last talk to someone (Not yourself)?
-Go talk to someone. It can even be a dog.
When did you last take a break?
-Take a break, even if there’s work to do.
When did you last listen to music?
-Listen to whatever song you are currently listening to on repeat or just a song you like.
Are you stressed?
-Listen to music, don’t think about the stress-y thing for one song. Listen to the song again. This time make a plan for what to do.
Are you overstimulated?
-Take off shoes, cover ears/put on headphones, close eyes, etc.
Are you understimulated?
-Stim, eat, watch something, read, devil sticks.
Are you confused about instructions?
-Deep breaths and ask for clarification.
Is there seemingly way too much work to do?
-Take a break, come up with a plan, make a checklist, start working. (Take breaks!!)

ok humming, yessshhhhhh. im like 99% sure im NT and just acquires little things from my weird lil friends or im just bored so I adopt waht would be considered 'autistic behaviors' or stimming but like IM PROBABLY NOT _{(its possible tho…)}
anyway HUMMING YEAH ill just do a little three note thing mmmmm_MMMmmmm like dat and randomly go '_HOH' sort of idk its an almost uncontrollable impulse

not to mention stimming-like stuff with music and gotta be super freakin animated unless somethings wrong

Some Nt's do have a few ND traits, but you might want to do some research just in case you're part of the club :)

Anyone else with special interests? If so, what are they? (Mine are The Owl House and Welcome to Night Vale)

tbh i don't think so?? i have some interests like animals as a whole and i could tell you a lot (and i mean A LOT) about that sort of stuff. but i don't know if that counts as a special intertest, since i have a few things that im into apart from that

I also have regular interests but for me the difference is a special interest is very intense. It feels warm and safe a exiting to think about them if that helps :)
