If someone told me we were two squids at the bottom of the ocean I would honestly cry that's so sweet /gen
Me too 😭
oh my god I love that sm😭
i love that😭if someone told me that i would marry them immediately
I would resist the urge to happy stim at that shit, it just sounds lovely /gen
Omg I thought I was the only one who thought that was so adorable, I literally had to pause for a second and shriek because my heart would melt if someone said that to me TvT
Man, the internet has taught me more about my mental illnesses than years of therapy did
MOOD
These aren’t necessarily illnesses though 🤔
SAME this got me to start researching on adhd and stuff and guess who has some diagnoses now :D (really tho its so helpful to be able to put into words what my brain does)
s a m e
@@k2990j why do that be giving me the same vibes as someone who answers rhetorical questions--
my autism wants me to wear headphones while my anxiety wants me to always be hypervigilant so i always end up wearing my headphones crooked so one year is covered and one isn't lol...
I do this too-
I dont have headphones, but I definitely have earbuds and bluetooth thingy, whatevers.
I'll constantly be asked why I have them in my ears if I'm not listening to anything. So I'm quite happy to see content or commentary on it 😃
Though I'm still not sure why exactly many may do it, but I do know it helps.
The only explanation I've ever been able to give (that is if I actually explain) was that it filters all the sounds in a way that I can still hear, but it's all kind of on the same level. As in I'm not hearing the sound of the fan behind me more than someone's voice. But then there are times when I unexplainable need to have one ear open to feel more "comfortable" or somethin.
But ig that's good enough, isnt it🤔
I’m neurotypical and I do the same thing. :0
Same though 😭
Alright, so all these comments were as relatable as the tik toks
But this one
*t h i s o n e*
It's hitting too close to home...
Is it possible I am on the spectrum?
Names are similar to touching someone's shoulder. A name gets someone's attention, but continuing to use it when you don't need to is annoying and should be considered rude.
Oh my god thank you for putting this into words. I absolutely hate when people just use my name in conversation for no reason
@@kristenyarbrough4287 my mom does that all the time and I hate it. She also continues to only use she/her pronouns for me when I know for a fact I had made it very clear that I went by she/they pronouns. It made me so uncomfortable and at one point I just decided to tell my friends to use they/them pronouns when referring to me from now on.
@@Maxxy03 I'm sorry to hear that. Hopefully she comes around. Also congrats on coming out! I know that must have been hard
My mom and sister use my name so much in like a sentence when they are angry at me and yelling at me they are making me hate my own fucking name I’m just glad I have a friend who says my name in a loving way and she’s making me appreciate myself a little bit more
having your name said i notice also feels like the same sensation of someone touching your arm/shoulder. or is that just me?
the just making Noises at friends thing is so true, me and my best friend usually just end up going "e" at each other in a feedback loop, or "no fuck you" in a Very Specific Tone
I actually do that as well, but we say mlem and mlim in both texting and conversation
I do that to, im not diagnosed with anything, but my sister is probably on the autism spectrum and we have started making the sounds my bird makes to communicate like "Ti Ti" is either "hi" or "i love you" and then we have "fff ff" which is just a way of being jokingly sassy and the other person has to act offended and then the we use the sound you make when your pucker your lips and stuck air in as like a "i love you very much and I need you for something" and if you respond with the first noise "ti ti" it means "i love you to but I am busy right know"
My friends and I quote vines, my mom and I make high-pitched noises at each other
i do that as well except it's either us going "aa", "E" or just _high pitched demonic raptor noises_
me and my sister screech, scream and quote things at each other all the time lmao
i'm like 90% sure that i have adhd in addition to autism and like. i'm Goin Through It but at least i'm one step closer to camp half-blood
All you need is the dyslexia and you’re ready to go
Haha same here, ADHD just makes you a demigod
BAHAHA FELT as a kid i always related so much to everyone in the pjo universe. like nearly 10 years later i get diagnosed w adhd and "autistic traits" (basically im autistic but the neuropsych didnt want to diagnose me) and im sitting here like ohhhhh thats why okay
AHAHAHAHHAHAHA
me too bro/sis, maybe well be in the same cabin
Okay, random question.
Is anyone else _really_ touchy and clingy but the second someone touches you unprovoked you get super ✨umcomfy✨?
Gods, yes. ESPECIALLY on my hands because for some reason people like to take something from my hands rather than wait for me to drop it into theirs. Always have to go and wash my hands afterwards to get rid of the creepy feeling.
@@deathandcats yessss
Lol..that’s exactly how I am
FUCKING YES. im really huggy and love hugging my friends but the _second_ they try to hug me i cry
yes holy shi
when all of the ones about autism are starting to hit a little too close to home and all your favourite characters are autistic-coded and you’re realizing you might have to take a minute to reflect on that✋😀
I’ve been stuck in this phase for like four months a feel ya dude-
Same but I don’t want to say anything about it in the case that I’m wrong because I’ll get made fun of for self diagnosing
@@patriceelizablythe1496 most of the online neurodivergent community is friendly toward self-diagnosing, but of course do extensive research and self-reflection to see if it's something else/determine what makes you think you have adhd. the purpose of self diagnosing is to eventually seek the opinion of a professional, so there's nothing wrong with it, it's supposed to be a good thing. it's one route to diagnosis or just getting help.
Even if you don't have diagnosable autism, there's a sizeable chunk of the population who have "broader autism phenotype," meaning that they have some traits in common with autistic people but not enough to qualify for a diagnosis, and you could always be like that.
same😐🤙
I used to be a person who would say “stop self diagnosing??” I hate that I did that now.
it's ok bud; when new info comes up like this our opinions will change, and that's a pretty human thing to do. don't be too hard on yourself :) (ik it's easier said than done, but I hope this helps regardless dkdmdk)
@@sparklepvke_art thank you :)
@@basildoingthings819 exactly what they said above, we all learn as time goes on. I'm definitely not the same person I was a year or two ago, nor would I want to be, but that's because I changed and matured. And also the fact that you can acknowledge that you used to do something is also a part of that :D
I used to diagnose myself with disorders like bipolar when i was 12 years old with barely an understanding for what bipolar actually is, so im always very very careful to not ever do that again. Up until now i didnt know that the mentality towards self diagnosis has shifted. Thank you for talking about it, ill go and do my research :)
THAT'S my crisis rn jsksjsk. i feel like i might be on the autism spectrum but i've always been against self diagnosing and i feel like i'm just lying to myself about having these traits so that i can feel like i have a community that i belong in and fit into
Self-diagnosing only becomes an issue for me when people who have self-diagnosed themselves (I mean those who identify their normal level of anxiousness with having an anxiety disorder not those who simply cannot get a formal diagnosis for whatever reason) choose to act as a poster child and, worse yet, speak over those who have a diagnosis, formal or otherwise. The worst examples of negative self-diagnosing is a person who says they’re a “mental health advocate” and say that they have [insert mental health disorder here] yet only identify with the mild symptoms or romanticized versions of the disorder. Personally, I’ve had multiple people constantly tell me how they “understood” and that “I’ve been there/get [symptom] too” but as soon as my disability became an inconvenience I was told I was exaggerating. Many of those people actively tout themselves as mental health advocates on social media or in irl. It’s because of people like this who continue to push false and romanticized representations of mental health conditions, misuse necessary and helpful medical terminology, and have not lessened but rather transformed the stigma against mental health conditions and invisible disabilities.
i once saw a tiktok of a lady, who was like a psychiatrist or therapist, that said this about self diagnosis
"if you sometimes think that you might be faking your symptoms, then youre most likely not"
and based on what ive seen and my own experience, this is so true
people who dont actually have smth tend to want to "be in the spotlight" and talk about "how bad their (mild) anxiety is; oh poor thing"
while people who prob have smth and are self diagnosed, like me, are usually not sure about their symptoms and are always searching more about and questioning
edit: plus, if youre not able at the moment to get an actual diagnosis, self diagnosis can be good to like try to understand your brain a bit more and find ways to adapt your life to help you, until you can get an actual diagnosis
I agree. Makes me think of those girls who are like, "omg my OCD is so bad, I have to like, always put my pens in rainbow order and make my bed." And then if you ask them about other symptoms or if they suffer because of it or anything like and they'll be like, " What other symptoms? I have OCD, okay? I like to organize! OCD is a blessing, I love OCD I'm so organized. My pens are always in order lol I'm so quirky! OCD is the best!!!!"
@@graceeverfall332 sure Becka
Btw, how many times did you have to lock the door last night?
@@fenixmeaney6170 "Once, like a normal person, duh. 😂 🙄" Becka says, whilst organizing her pens loudly so everyone notices.
(This friend uses They/Them pronouns, just because someone is an asshole doesn’t mean you get to Misgender and deadname them) Omg I used to have a friend like this, claimed they had all these disorders, talked about it like it was something to be proud of. Like they should be praised for “being so strong” and shit. Loved being the centre of attention but when asked they claimed they had social anxiety and don’t like people and are introverted. (
im pretty sure peoples idea of "i consulted a minority about this" is saying the slur to them and if they dont react it means it's ok
tbh yeah that sounds accurate, and like ,, why do they want to say slurs so badly like just use insults that aren’t rooted in hate/bigotry if you need to insult someone so badly
And getting upset if they get upset
thanks so much for putting these together, i don’t have tik tok and i really enjoy seeing content by nerodiverse people :]
Random but your pfp is one of my favorite picrews haha
YOO PIXIE MY MAN MY MAN
I CAN'T DO TICTOK! I would have to sit and watch my phone and I can't do that so I do RUclips and let my feed just go wild! These videos are so great I feel like I'm in the tic tok loop without having to sit and scroll my phone!😁
@@kilosierra_edu are u okai
hey I follow you on tumblr! :)
5:20 holy shit.... My parents tell me all these stories about how I was such an outgoing kid who would talk to everyone but like at age 9 I just stopped because I was being socially isolated by my peers and I feel so sad now I've spent so much time trying to reduce the social anxiety I developed in my younger years :(
Same 💔
Same happened to me. As a teen I became an introvert after being an extroverted child.
Good news! After being an adult for a while and being around safer people I started becoming more extroverted again. Another girl I grew up with became more extroverted as an adult also.
I typically consider myself an introvert, but i’m actually finding *friends* and now i actually crave human interaction??? and want to talk to people???? what on earth is going on??
Sameee. I heard stories of how when I was a little kid I would walk up to complete strangers and sit and talk with them, I wasn't afraid to confront bullies on the playground, my family practically needed a leash for me to keep me from running off and exploring...
And then I started school and moved back in with an abusive father. I still love talking to people and chatting with strangers, but now I overanalyze everything I do and say until I'm exhausted and I'm terrified of anything new. It took me until a few years ago to realize I was taught to be shy and small.
Thankfully surrounding yourself with good people can undo the damage - I shift from being a fearful introvert in a room full of strangers to bombastic and without shame surrounded by friends.
Me too (only that I stopped at 11) and I never realised this up until now … it‘s so crazy what society can do to us :/
I also have Hispanic parents and they told me that my aunt was crazy and I later found out that she was schizophrenic and was later hospitalized after years of being isolated from our family
I also had a family member that was schizophrenic but they just told me there was "a demon eating his brain" and that "I shouldn't sin too much if I didn't want that to happen to me"
yeah it's really fucked up :/
the more of these i see, the more i think i may not be neurotypical lol
Same
Same
WHAT- REPEATING THE FUNNY THINGS HAS AN ACTUAL NAME??? I'VE BEEN PARROTING THIS WHOLE TIME???
I repeat it in my head until it no longer makes sense, turns out that's called inner echolalia
things I learned today aren't normal: wearing the same pair of shoes for years until they're broken and only owning that pair.
I have a bunch of pairs of shoes, but I usually either wear my most punky pair of boots, or the most generic and beaten down sneakers I own. I call them my "safety shoes." Not because they're physically safe, but because I'm comfortable wearing the same thing all the time.
@@adrianbristol1471 valid, I only have the "savety shoes" ^^
i had my shoes for like 2 years but now they've broken and my mother won't let me wear them anymore :( no other shoes feel right
When you have ADHD and your shoes only last 3 months max.
solution: buy multiple pairs/sizes of ✨THE shoes✨
You know you have ADHD when you go to the kitchen to do something (that i still can't remember) and then end up baking 12 soft pretzels
me yesterday when i wanted to go outside to draw but ended up doing yoga and laying on the floor
@@jellyraptor3556 pffft i literally got up at hours later and was like “oops”
This is gonna be a story, story👴✋
Yesterday evening, I was out with my family when I learned that my brother didnt know what the seasoning Sage was. Completely forgot about that in the next 3 or so minutes.
Now just keep that in mind.
The next morning, today, I woke up and did my shit and all that. Finally went down to eat some takis while watching a video, then began to head upstairs with my bowl of 5 takis left in one hand, waterbottle in the other, and my large bright red phone in between my arms (left arm).
I head into my room, straight to my AC to turn it on, I leave my room to my mother's room for a reason I can't remember bc as soon as I walked in I saw my hat that I also did not remember leaving there, so I took that and went to hang it up in my room. I turn around to see if my phone is on my bed bc I know I have a tendency to leave things, and yk what happens.
✨ _Where the hell is that phone?_ ✨
I then spent the next 2 hours looking for my phone while taking multiple pauses. We're just gonna say 2 pauses tho, and those 2 pauses were to take frustrated naps. The other pauses were laying down and staring at the wall.
During the second round of my search, I started searching in even _more_ random places that I knew had a slim chance of actually having my phone in. But I also knew that there was a larger chance of me actually have going into said places, but just not remembering. One place I searched was a small gift bag with a candle in it.
*"oOoOo~ Candle 👁 👁"* I said in a shaky voice bc I was still searching for my large, bright red phone.
I attempted to tell myself that we'd come back to the candle later, but I ended up spending the next 20min (I think. I am also bad with time) trying to light that candle and failing. I eventually went to my mother to light it, and I then went back to my room slightly content.
I then proceed to lay down again before going back to my kitchen to search.
But just as I walked into the kitchen and passed this weird pulley draw thing that held seasonings. I paused. Opened it. And started looking for the Sage while chanting its name.
*"oH- sAgE. Nice."* I said as I found it and got back up to continue.

(I'm just need to stop now, it's already been almost an hour since I started typing this.)
@@theSkin_of_a_Killer_Bella i relate to all of this on a level that’s too personal. like i feel like you just described shit i do all the time??? anygays,,, did you find the phone. i read the whole thing but i forgot if you said you did or not
@@multiplewormsonthesidewalk5902 oH, I actually said "LiKe fOr pArt 2" bc I couldnt type anymore.
Either way.
What happened next was that I went back up to my room and put myself to sleep (a nap). Bc I knew at least this much about myself- that if I wanted to find my phone I would need someone else to do it, bc I most likely walked passed it a couple hundred times.
Mother finally comes in and eventually finds it in a basket right next to wear I hung my hat up.
When I tell u that I can not remember even walking in that direction with this phone. I can not.
Well I found the phone (not really)😃
And the reason why I got myself to type this entire story was in hopes to describe someone's entire life so far, at least. Hopefully it wasn't too much of a struggle to get through🛌
Feel free to share more stories, or just go on a rant on something as random as the entire lore of fnaf if ya want.
When your mom says she’s known that you’ve had adhd since you were 6 but she doesn’t wanna get you tested because she’s scared the meds will do something hOrrIbLe to your brain: 👁👄👁
(Not her exact words I can’t remember exactly what she said so it’s taken from context)
i understand her concern cause yeah any meds can, of course help you, but it can kinda make you dependable of them (especially the kinds that help you function "normally")
but getting a diagnosis is really important and good cause at least youll know what your brain has, and it might be easier to find solutions to help you (that arent meds)
and i actually think you arent obligated to take meds after being diagnosed, dont think they could force you
they just suggest you take it cause they somewhat help
my mom refusing to even get me diagnosed because she didnt want me to "go into the mental hospital like your dad's friend" (her exact words) from the meds. LIKE I DONT NEED THE MEDDS. JUST/ GET ME DIAGNOSED SO I DONT FEEL LIKE IM FAKING IT THANK YOU
My mom says she doesn't want to waste money ,')
I love the whole “don’t take meds for mental illness they’ll mess up your brain” uhhh my brain is messed up that’s why i need meds??? To be fair tho rn i’m unmedicated
When you're mom suspected you might have adhd because of your inattentiveness but doubted it because you hyperfocus on things sometimes and not realizing that that was just another symptom
The one about "skitzo" being a derogatory term doesnt sit well with me, not the it being a derogatory term, but the fact that they brush off schizotypical personality disorder and say that "schizo" isnt a derogatory term. As someone with Schizotypical its just... Not Right. Schizotypical is part of the schizophrenia spectrum.. dont brush us off and say its ok to use derogatory terms FROM us.
Guys!! I made two of those things that are rings that connect to bracelets and I really like them. I made one with three rings in bright gold chain and the other with five rings in dusty gold chain
:o
Nice! X
When I look far enough back in my memory, it starts to feel like the memories were extracted from a nonhuman animal and implanted into my mind. It's not that I couldn't imagine *me* doing the things I did, because I can read stories and the characters feel plenty human even when they're different from me. My memories feel not just foreign, but also definitely inhuman.
I've been feeling like basically an alien since I was 8-9
@@moiaussi7722 That sounds like a cross between garden-variety dissociation and the wacky self-image stuff you get from being dehumanized in childhood.
Idk if I'm thinking of the same thing.
But I know for a fact that a lot of my childhood memories were "put together" by my mind ig🤷♀️ And it still leaves that "blank space" feeling anyways.
They're just things that could have happened around me based off of info I already knew. For example:
"This person tends to show off their things (not rudely at all), or things that they like. And they talked in a certain way, and they were also a visco girl with at least 3 different hydro flasks."
So I then have a "memory" of that certain person with gum in their mouth (bc they also liked gum too) saying, "Look at my new hydro flask".
So basically realistic fiction. Most memories just feel like a stage set.
I have a similar thing but instead I can only see my memories outside of myself. IDK why
When the person was talking about how left brain/right brain isn't a thing but adhd and autism are and then said something about bo burnham's left brain right brain song i took a moment to process and then literally leapt forward, half out of my seat, and slammed my hand down on the spacebar because I understood immediatly and was so excited I understand
Edit: 15:26 timestamp (thanks @linalool , I had forgotten it!)
“I AM THE RIGHT BRAIN!!! I HAVE FE E L I N G S!! IM A LITTLE ALL OVER THE PLACE AND IM LUSTFUL AND TRUSTFUL-“
I had to turn the song off there was to much going on at the start.
15:26 timestamp even though nobody asked
@@linal00l Ah, thank you! I forgot to include it
My eyelids literally hurt from the expression of realization I had when he said Bo Burnham's Left Brain Right Brain
0:00 tHIS but if i wake up and go to the kitchen, then hear that there’s other people in the kitchen i will get so frustrated and annoyed i’ll just not want to eat food because PEOPLE. IN THE KITCHEN. NO. PLEASE GET OUT I WILL NOT HAVE A FUN TIME EATING IF YOURE TALKING TO ME.
12:47 everytime i do that my parents call me lazy and get all disappointed it's like shut up please :((
The shoe point near the end- hating new shoes because they are painful is so relatable- My mom got me a new pair of shoes awhile ago that are similar to my old pair, but since I hate breaking in shoes I’ve only worn them like five times? I’ll literally wear shoes that are almost falling apart because I hate new shoes-
all my shoes are second hand lol its just less stressful to wear u know
i'm sitting here in my Doc Martens that i've had for four years with jacked up buckles like "...people wear different shoes..!?"
I so get it because I got this pair of shoes before the start of fifth grade. and um. I'm in ninth grade? I've had these shoes for almost 4 goddamn years which may not sound like a lot but they are sneakers and also ,my everyday shoes (they are my exclusive summer shoes, I wear boots once a week but that's it) and they're my exercise shoes (I play four sports currently so...) they're so dead but they're also out of make and I don't want new different ones. I still have my boots from when I was in second grade and I still wear them I'm very bad at new things lol.
Same. I recently got a new pair of slippers and I never ever wear them! Before I was borrowing my moms pair which were super broken in and the new ones are so uncomfortable.
I will forever stay a new shoe hater I guess:’)
Me crying at the dehumanizing part....
Lowkey, I feel like I've never really had a friend even though I actually do. Sorry to my friends, I have adhd too and forget you love me when you are not there. I'm self diagnosed only because my parents dont want me to get diagnosed. They treat me like trash. My dad actually told me he wouldn't help me if I became homeless, because I didnt like it when he told me to get to work. Sorry you dont know what burnout looks like, but I've been burnt out since I was 11, so, I guess that's not new.
I'm so sorry, I have adhd too and I know how hard it can be. but don't give up, life does and will get better. always remember that.
@@Ella-iw4lo thank you so much
11? I’ve been burnt out since I was in first grade! In all honesty, I was bullied and hurt a lot, and I didn’t feel human for years (I still don’t feel fully like a person now). It’s hard when life is like that, and I hope you end up in a better situation soon
@@mysticrose2000 thank you internet person
Ayyy fellow person w/adhd!
I have some advice for u
1. GET AWAY FROM UR PARENTS PLS
Call the child abuse hotline! What ur dad said isnt a good thing whatsoever and is verbal abuse
2. If you can't do tht, run away and stay with a good friend!
3. Get a therapist asap
4. Pray!
God will help you! :DDD (Imma Catholic and God has helped me more than I can say and imagine with my adhd! I have B A D adhd and I have the privilege of getting diagnosed at 8 (I'm afab).
If you ever need me, I'm here for you! ❤️
How to pray:
1. Sign Of the Cross
2. Say whatever u wanna say to God
3. Sign of the Cross
11:46 pls I have a tendency to drop random frog trivia while making out and my partner is just used to it at this point shdfkjlsgsd like it'll be a romantic moment until I just blurt out "frogs move their eyes out of their sockets to help push food down when swallowing"
glad ur partner isn't weirded by that. lol i personally would get too distracted over the frog fact
16:57 this one is kinda similar to my experience with names except 1. names just, slowly burn out y’know? like it’s not _my_ name and 2. names don’t feel overly personal.
my current name has been the name i’ve stuck with for a while (maybe around a couple months) and it’s like, the only name i’ve been able to feel connected to for a long time. i’m just waiting for the day that someone will say “hey theo!” and i just don’t feel like that name is me. if that makes sense
hoping that time stamp worked and that i made sense lol
yeah that makes sense, ive had that happen with a name i liked before and idk if i just thought it was cool in the moment or if something happened but i just didnt like it anymore B(
This has happened to me multiple times and it's annoying
I used to go by Zack, but then eventually after like,,,almost a year of using it? It just. Stopped feeling right
I've tried multiple names but most only feel ok _sometimes_, not all the time
yea ah- i changed my name to sunny almost 3 years ago now (im nonbinary) and have had the same thing happen. Also, i wanna use neopronouns but i mostly wanna use them like names?? Like people to call me a few neopronouns for names and have my pronouns be they/them but thats.. not how names work in rl...
Yeah. I was trying out the name Micheal because I liked the sound and feel of it and I was very excited to use my new name, only to find out It was *only me* who could call myself that, and it had to be in 1st person too, anything in 3rd person just sounded wrong and out of place. That happened for a couple names like Jules, Julie, Jack, etc., even my birthname.
I don't really want names to stop existing, I just want a name that doesn't feel out of place :[
So you mean to tell me.... meowing as a form of communication isn’t normal...and people not responding the same way isn’t weird...
I used to meow at people too, (as a kid) until people hated me for acting like a cat. I still have habits where I purr when I get a massage, and then they stop because they think I mean it in a creepy way, but thats just how I communicate... animals are so much easier than people sometimes
When you spend your day mocking cats to the point you have nailed every meow that comes out of your four cats who have all different meows for different wants and needs... Then speak to your roomates with those meows. 😺
Thanks to Kira I picked up saying "hands" in different voices and tones as a way of communication, and I didn't know that wasn't exactly a normal thing either
I MEOW. AT EVERYONE. JESUS CHRIST WHAT THE HELL
I am known in my school for meowing at people in the halls. /gen
It's been over a month since I got back to class and since then I've studied/paid attention to class exactly only twice. Also, I haven't cleaned properly my house or been able to keep up my normal self care routine. But today I actually did *two* chores out of five, instead of just one for the day. I'm proud of that. And on Wednesday I'll have my second visit to the psychiatrist, then I'll get to tell her that Ritalin didn't helped me with anything, I just stopped taking it midway through the month so I could go back to drinking on weekends to watch musicals
why do i feel like i wrote this
@@dudagomes3353 look for help
PS: update! I'm on Desve and i feel pretty good, I'm not that motivated but my anxiety is much better
13:41 i wish I had friends I could do this with, communicating normally can be so draining
Also, in regards to the last one, I’ve worn the same shoes for over four years they have so many holes (in the soles too) and look like the most destroyed shoes you’ve ever seen but they’re so comfortable and I would be absolutely devastated if I had to stop wearing them.
Another depression life hack: put a magic eraser in the shower. You're going to be in there for at least half an hour anyway, so if you see a narsty spot, you can just clean it.
"Eww, what is that?"
"snOoOww"
that video made me smile like a dumbass oh my GOODNESS!!!
hey this comp is great timing bc i’m getting tested for adhd a month from today :D
Congrats!
ayyee good luck!
Good luck bro
Before I say this I 1.At the moment don’t have access to a professional diagnosis and 2.Have done research on both of these,I’m about 100% sure I have Tourette’s and about 90-95% sure I have ADHD traits for both showed up when I was super young (Tourette’s starting at about 6 or 7 and ADHD starting at around 5 or 6) anyways I’m an AFAB person so this’ll be difficult 🙃
yeah, doctors and psychiatrists really like to assign ADHD in AFAB people as “daydreaming” or “inattentiveness” or their period or something
@@thedumbartist That’s so true!They should really do better with that
"You are a squid" is a valid compliment coming from me because squids are my favourite animal, so if you're a squid then you're my favourite too
4:54 I always called myself an introvert until I realized I wasn’t I’m an extrovert who doesn’t enjoy being social because I got bullied a bunch during elementary (aka what their talking about)
Please I’ve had the same song on constant loop for 3 days
The last one tho
I have this playlist called "My favorite song" that I made when I was sad, and it only has two songs
It's Rasputin Vs. Stalin - Epic Rap Battles of History twice
And I had it on loop for a week straight, not even listening to anything else, just that playlist. /hj
I tried to taste a lava lamp today. It didn’t work, but yea-
😃
did it taste good? 👁
@@thistleywistley681 Yeah, did it?
you okay? lad?
Uh guys i think if they knew what it tasted like it would mean they're with god now... And will not be able to answer your questions
Was it warm?
6:37 this person is a genius
1:17 fuck thats a mood I literally got “blessed”* or exorcised whatever it was too and it was bc I WAS SEEING HALLUCINATIONS I HABE SCHIZOPHRENIA🧍♂️
Edit: I’m not sure if I have schizophrenia or it was psychosis but last year’s summer they were hella bad, these days it’s less likely to occur? Ain’t sure but the blessing thing is too relatable😭
4:25 so, uh , wow, that’s why I shut down after my friends told me I cry too much in class :)) good to know tik tok (WTF)
It is lovely learning how to be gentler with myself and it is thanks to all you young people and your tiktoks that are helping me to understand myself and recognize I'm not the only one . I'm pushing 70 now and finally started talking to my doctor because of all you kindred spirits. My husband doesn't believe ADHD is a real thing, but I'm learning to chalk that up to his ignorance. It's no fun being judged by others but even worse to judge oneself, so thank you all so, so much!
I should really go get tested 🚶 but guess what it's hard for my parents to understand that I'm struggling and always mask around them
I need an autism steam roller bc my special interest is VOCALOID (and I like Jojo too) so I can go "Road Roller" each time I roll through
roda rora
ayo
ive been obsessed w vocaloid for like five years now. please help
hey, has anyone here read the series gone? i haven’t read it in a while nor did i finish it, but i remember it had a nonverbal autistic kid in it and i was just wondering if it was good representation or not. thinking back on it i don’t think it was, but i’m also not autistic so it’s not for me to say. just wondering, but please don’t read it just because of this comment it’s a pretty long series.
I read the first book. I hated it. Also, if I remember correctly, the autistic kid dies.
@@hithere911 ooh, yikes. that made me cringe
Was it like Out Of My Mind? The one with the nonverbal girl going to the spelling bee?
I read the first book. It was really weird ( there was talking coyotes? And half the characters were literal psychopaths?) and the autistic character was just kinda... there.
it’s a whole series of like 6 books i think. i remember in like the 4th or so you learn the autistic kid basically caused the apocalypse, so i honestly don’t know how to feel about it. the writing overall also got really stupid near the end, like the plot just dissolved.
0:15 I totally relate to everything they said but that's not why I'm commenting. I just need to say that I am in love with their hat.
IKR it's like a mushroom bonnet it's the best thing I've ever seen
@@kate.6262 yes it is :)
friendly reminder that the things in this video are common for people with those disorders, but not exclusive, or even sometimes symptoms for them. None of the things said in this video are actually used to diagnose adhd, AT ALL. Taking adhd meds when you have bipolar, or certain other conditions can be VERY dangerous. Remember, educate yourself by the dsm5, not tiktok (alone)
6:40 Oh my gosh that's brilliant! I now need Collapsible camping sinks to put in my sink.
14:02 I've done that and i wish i could do more, but for now i'm doing weird noises with my baby cousin
my best friend always makes noises at me to communicate bc thats the way she communicates stuff and i usually just nod back or pat her head or something bc i am partially nonverbal in certain situations
15:42 OH MY GOD THEY HAVE SUCH A COOL STYLE I LOVE IT SO MUCH IM STEALING THE GOGGLES
BRO THEIR HAIR IS AWESOME AND I LOve THEIR LOOK
@@jermfanaccount I KNOW I NEED IT
5:00- yeah so I vividly remember being five and after my mom reminded me we had just moved in and I “didn’t have any friends” I shouted back “then I’ll make some!” and just frickin left.
And now I’m 16 and excessively introverted and read books during recess everyday from 2nd to 6th grade to avoid making friends after my friends repeatedly “ditched” me for fun.
When the person with the cool necklace talked about repeating things you find funny i paused and realized I've been doing that since I was little
8:37 totally relate to that, love how they phrased that experience
18:47 If someone close to me, responded to my noise of need, with "aRoO rOo rU" I'd straight up punch them. But also kiss them?? Like how dare you patronize me 🤨 Do it again 😤
6:47 This just saved my life!
the tiktok at 1:56 really explains a lot about “self diagnosing” really well, and how i think people make it out to be this huge issue when it’s really not. i thought i had ADHD bc of TikTok for a little under a year before i finally went through testing and turns out i don’t have it! i just have very severe anxiety, which is where all those symptoms came from. so, honestly, it’s a good thing. because i thought i was stupid for the longest time but it was just my anxiety.
9:58 I say that they are weird.
when they look offended or confused, i quickly stutter out that it's a good thing
At 7:16 i had a realization. My mother gives “complements” like that aaaahhhhh I just thought that was how everyone gave compliments like that,i get real confused when my best is like “omg ur so pretty!” Brain go oabsvshabwvsgajwbscshsj
the liking plain spaghetti thing at the end omg
i love eating plain food especially bread
idk why
but i love it, and my family has always find it weird but idc
I like my pasta plain, but in a really weird way, like I don't mind if the sauce's already in the pasta when I get it served, but if I have to add it afterwards I just won't, y'know?
dude same! i will just eat plain food like bread and pasta, sometimes even carrots
i dunno man, carrots are funky and they make me feel like i'm in the constant because Don't Starve is my special interest, anyway-
@@moiaussi7722 oh yeah
The making eye contact thing for me is a weird one. Cause I've been trained my whole life to look at someone when their talking to me, so I've developed into being able to hold that eye contact. However! Whenever I start talking, especially for more than a sentence or a couple of words, that's when I can't look people in the eye. It's so hard and I won't be able to process what I'm saying if I am looking at someone while talking, OR! my vision starts to go weird/trippy. I have noticed that I do lose some pieces of conversation when someone is talking to me, but I don't know if that's because some of my focus is going into keeping eye contact or because of my comprehension problem.
Me watching this while wearing my comfy bunny hat and drawing small, blobby flapjack octopus (coloeidea are my special intrest): interesting...
As a latino myself, yes, mental illness is a big nono in my family, and the common latin family as a whole. I had an uncle with schizophrenia and my dad would tell me stories like he was possessed, and put this super scary vibe to it, saying he tried to kill my grandma and so on. I think I was the first person in my family to actually go to therapy (gen z 😍), and my aunts were so terrified, like I was gonna die or something. Pleaseee
10:05
This reminds me of the time I told my friend with afro hair that "your hair is really fluffy". I honestly meant well but was spacing out curiously (..?) at her hair and she looked like she expected me to say something and I felt pressured-
I have ended calling my echolalia a parrot and my hyperactivity a golden dog retriever,why that specific breed? Idk i like golden retrievers they look cute
*remove dog omg HAHAHAHA
I call my intrusive thoughts Goblin
HDHDBSVW my autism is a brown and black cat that climbs on curtains and my (very possible) ADHD is just DANNY DEVITO AS THE TRASH MAN
10:18 the moment they said that autistic children were always othered, and dehumanized by people and how that's why a lot of autistic adults didn't feel growing up really just. It feels like the emotional equivalent of seeing a guy on a bus and realizing a year ago he was the one who punched you in the gut and stole all your doubloons.
A mixture of saddness you can't do much now that so much time has passed, the realisation, and memories.
19:20 this one, just this one. ive never been tested for anything my whole life and i have many many symptoms of ADHD and BPD, and when i asked my mom if i could possibly be tested for ADHD she told me that i was just trying to be special and that i couldnt have ADHD because im "too smart". im constantly telling myself im being dramatic and i think ive acctually started to believe that i am just wanting to be special. there is so much i wish i could tell people about me and what i experience on a day to day but i worry that people will look at me and say youre just wanting to be special or want attention but i dont. id rather be alone then to have everyone accusing me of that. im not sure if i will ever get a diagnosis
I had a professional tell me he wouldn’t give me an autism diagnosis if I had it when I brought up seeing someone about it
Wow what the fuck
Just had a professional tell me I dont need to be tested on autism because i make eye contact and seem talkative and polite.
Yeah.
@@PraiseJ-Pope did. They forget about masking???
@@emmad4308 pretty sure all her information about autism are from Rain Man or something like that.
I told her I want to see a specialized psychologist for a diagnosis. But naaaahhhh why go for a specialist when a plain psychiatry doc can tell you after like 1h
@@PraiseJ-Pope it's always bloody rain man oml. Please insist that you need to see a specialist, who knows more specifics than that movie that haunts us all.
If they continue going no, just insist it would be good to rule it out via a specialist. Also, point out it's a spectrum condition, not rain man condition.
Like orange and blue are both colours, you wouldn't say they were the same ffs. Still are colours.
I'm sorry I'm very annoyed for you, that sounds endlessly frustrating
17:44 WHEN I FIRST LEARNED WHAT A SOCIOPATH WAS I IMMEDIATELY WAS LIKE “OH MY GOD THAT’S ME, I FEEL LIKE I WEAR A MASK ALL THE TIME” BUT I JUST HAD UNDIAGNOSED ADD HCJWHFKWJGJ-
Dude the one person who said "loud eyes" I've never found a better way of expressing that!
"wow your clean don't you feel so much better now c:"
Is so relatable omg
I tell them "not really."
9:45 it’s at times like these that i remember positive interactions with my friend like:
Me: you look like you eat lettuce.
Them: I do.
Them: you like like you enjoy muesli and apricots.
Me: … I do enjoy those things. Thanks.
The second one taught me about body doubling!! That helps so much!!
9:53
As some one who literally gets irrationally happy when people call me Squid, I’d prolly cry if someone said this to me XD
7:16 oh no
I like that you included more than just ADHD because people think being Neurodivergent is just ADHD and autism but it's actually more than that
Alternative to "kill two birds with one stone " it's "pet two cats with one hand " I find it more comforting and human I guess 😸❤ have a lovely day
YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT ADHD CAN CAUSE INTROVERSION. WHEN I WAS GASLIGHTED AND CONSTANTLY TOLD TO BE QUITE BY PEERS FOR YEARS. AND NOW I JUST DON'T TALK AT ALL. WTF.
8:22
Woah
Like honestly
I’m saving this video and time stamp so I can tell someone about it later and if I don’t save it I will forget and never be happy again.
So sometimes I feel like I’m self diagnosing my ADHD, but then I remember that both my parents, my fifth grade teacher, my sixth grade teacher, and my grandma have all said “yes you have ADHD” and my psychiatrist has also said “yeah you have ADHD.”
13:26 i have anxiety and im pretty sure i have adhd and im too anxious to ask/try making noises at my friends but having that sort of friendship would make me feel warm and cuddly like a kitten inside🥺
4:08 I was gonna be like “ayo maybe don’t laugh at spl*ts” but then I realized that’s what I do akskfkvkf
Half of the communication between me and my sister is just random noises and if they are real words then they are bound to be an accent or impression so some of these videos speak to my soul
This is good is I started OT and bailed on roller skating cos noise
That last one was weirdly relatable, even up to the specific song they were re-listening too over and over O.O
hey y’all!!! remember how a couple Neurodivergent Videos ago i posted a comment where i said i thought i had some sort of neurodivergency but i was too scared to get diagnosed?
im still too scared to get diagnosed (professionally at least). but!! i think i’m just going to say for now that i have undiagnosed autism/adhd until i can finally get professionally diagnosed!! please let me know if this is harmful or offensive to anyone, i mean this all in good faith and i’m just trying to figure myself out, but the last thing i want is to accidentally harm someone. thanks!!!
8:55 _ѕησω~~_
Genuinely think I have adhd or something but my mom said she checked for it when I was a baby soo that's fun..
1:17 YESSS PREACH- like for real, its always some type of extreme and i just want to get treatment without them saying bringing me down 😩
1:55 i appreciate her 😔💖
9:21 💖
BRO-
At 9:45 when they’re talking about calling others squid’s, I do the same thing but I call people cheese depending on how much I like them.
I never knew it was the autism doing that. I thought I was weird
15:11 I had to do a double take here. I didn’t realize wearing the same pair of shoes everyday was abnormal. I literally only ever wear other pairs of shoes when there’s a special occasion. I’ve once worn a pairs for so many days that the sole at the front end started peeling off, yet I still went to school in them. It wasn’t even that I didn’t have other shoes, I just refused to change what shoes I was wearing.
The squid one made me realize how much i love the word squid it’s just so enjoyable and stimmy if that makes sense
Two squids. Two squids, in the ocean. Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra
7:15 ...Oh
...OHHHHHHHHHHH
...Ohhh SHIT this explains WAY too much
7:24 same
But I also get like this whenever someone complements my looks I think it’s because I feel like I don’t deserve it or they’re just trna be nice :V
Also when I’m attracted to someone I tell them ‘I like your hair’ because I have no idea what I actually like about them and I don’t know how to complements right
16:56 I have a simular problem and my solution is to have multiple names and ask people to switch out which one they use every once in a while
14:22 pretty glasses uwu
