i am neurodivergent, so please be mindful and accommodating with certain aspects that i may struggle with !! - i am currently fighting my ass off to pursue a proper ASD (autism spectrum disorder) diagnosis, even though i fit every single criterion in the DSM-5-TR. you can thank the negligence of medical professionals who base autism off of the same tired stereotypes !! - ALL THAT IS TO SAY; even though i am not professionally diagnosed, please treat me with the same patience and accommodating nature as you would with someone professionally diagnosed. - all you really need to know for online communication is that i struggle with social cues and starting conversations. if you want something from me, BE DIRECT. clarity may seem like bluntness to you, but to me it is KINDNESS. if you use non-obvious sarcasm with me, please make some indication. if i misinterpret your tone or i dont say the proper thing, PLEASE be kind while addressing it. i am almost always trying to be either helpful or funny. i occasionally use tone tags when im not sure if my tone will be read properly, so sorry if that bothers you..?? but if i use a tone tag that you dont know the meaning of, just ask !! - i would also classify myself as HYPERVERBAL(could you tell by all the text on my page ??), so if i reply to you with a paragraph or turn small-talk into a whole hour long conversation, dont feel pressured to read it all or even engage if thats not something you want. - ALSO NOTE that i have been officially diagnosed with SOCIAL PHOBIA, which i believe to be another symptom of my autism. social phobia does NOT mean im scared to socialize, it means i am so scared of saying/doing something wrong that ill avoid the interaction as a whole. - to go along with that, i also heavily suspect myself of having ADHD and am also fighting my ass off to pursue a diagnosis for it. rejection sensitivity with ADHD makes it extremely easy for me to spiral and panic at even minor confrontation or CONSTRUCTIVE criticism !! i thank you endlessly for ANY and ALL leniency you will allow me on the off-chance i ever do something you deem incorrect. - of course, my hyperactivity may lead me to entirely forget to reply to you. I AM NOT IGNORING YOU !! - i am also officially diagnosed with tourettes syndrome, but thats not something you have to worry about if you only plan to communicate via text with me. - THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR READING !!
