  "And really, this is like the tip of the iceberg with respect to neurodivergence and food. Eating it, preparing it, barriers, too. Executive functioning, shifting cognitive load. Like, there are so many different aspects of even eating disorders. Arfid, for one. I'm still figuring these things out for myself, but I've made significant changes in my relationships and in the way that I do things that have really led to a healthier practice of eating."

  "That was when I took psychology as a subject, and I only then found out about ADHD, dyslexia, and all the types of mental disorders that existed prior to this. I only knew mostly about anxiety and depression as a mental disorder. I didn't really know that there were so many kinds of it and all of that. So, yeah, I'm still studying psychology now. So that was when my interest in the subject was piqued and I found out that I was, in fact, neurodivergent."

  "Mask or not to mask. Okay, so some people wear masks and likes to keep the mask on. My dad definitely kept his mask on for the longest time. All through my life, actually. Okay, buddy, hold on. And he kept his mask on also his life and my husband. Well, actually, his mask came off when his mask officially came off. I was giving birth to my second son, and that's when his mask came off, so he showed his true colors."

  "The one thing that I will say about my neurodivergent brain that surprises me. And at first, growing up, for years and years, until I know quite recently, I always thought that there was something wrong with me. I've never been one to go with the flow. I've always been called a problem child for asking questions. I don't just do something because I'm told to. And, of course, that has caused problems in my jobs, in my career."

  "And that's ridiculous that you have to be, you have to put something foreign into your body just to get an education. That was the last straw. That's when I started homeschooling her again. But, yeah, it's so frustrating when, like I said, people don't know what they don't know, but they're more than happy to wave their flag in the air and say, yeah, this is what I stand for."

• October 03, 2024@SeekingPlumb | To Mask or Not: "Human Connection" & Ableism

  Click here to reply to @SeekingPlumb
  
  "Even here on swell, there's an emphasis on the sharing personal stories in order to create connection. And yet for autistics and perhaps other neurodivergent individuals, this is not necessarily how we operate. And so telling autistics not to mask is antithetical to everything we've ever been told and how society expects to operate from, like, an anthropological perspective or sociological even. There are things that humans do to create familiarity and the idea of safety."

  "The most empowering thing about being neurodiverse is being able to have multiple thoughts at once. And being able to multitask in a way that neurotypicals can't. And processing information at such a fast speed, it can be overwhelming. But it also is quite magical as well. And being able to remember certain things. Yeah."

  "I don't know if I want to use that word either, to mask. But here's the thing, is that the reality of the matter is that there was a study done, I don't have room to share it here, but if anyone is interested, I can provide a link that shows brief interactions with autistics by allistics. Now, they did not know they were autistic. And the brief interactions were done in three different increments. The longest was 30 seconds."

  "To mask or not to mask. My question is, why would you want to cover yourself with a mask? Why would you want to be fake? Why would you want to not live in your truth? That's my question. It shouldn't be to mask or not mask, because to cover yourself is to hold your beauty, to hold your worth, to deny yourself the truth. That's what it is when you decide to wear a mask or to cover up. So absolutely do not mask."
