I wait in the car until 1 minute before school finishes and it takes me exactly 1 minute to walk from my car to my sons class 😏

as a teenager I built a fake face that I 'wear' to avoid being constantly asked "what's wrong?" or "are you mad?". And now I cannot stop it and just have my real face in front of people

My hack was to have a full time job so I picked the kiddos up from after school care most of the time. Only a handful of people to talk to there. School gates only once a week or so was fine.

I want to have mute days but that will not be acceptable with ANYONE lol. My ADHD husband just can’t, he needs me to engage but when he travels it’s so quiet at home. Work is another story but a different battle lol

My excuses are that i’m not parked properly, gtg or i go to the toilet and they escape or a phone call.. what’s your white lie? Or if i have to, i ask questions so i don’t have to talk..

My son is recently diagnosed Audhd and I’ve found I have most similar autism qualities as he does. This is something I’m trying to figure out myself. I did your 3 tests yesterday and wow. I always have earphones to basically ignore interactions at school run.

Oh honey, I’m old and when I go to the gym, if I don’t want to talk I just nod and smile and keep moving on. If that doesn’t work, I just tell them I’m a little unsociable at the moment, or if applicable, that I’m “having a day”.

My life changed when I realized I didn’t have to go to the staff room during recess and lunch. I was able to fully rest and relax without the basic chatter of what diet everyone is on and what happened in masterchef the night before.

Some days I’m very chatty and other days not at all able to carry on a conversation. 💕

hey! going through the journey of potentially being diagnosed... when walking my mums dog yesterday (because hes a 7 month old puppy) people of course want to come over and interact and chat, I did say yes but at the same time "no, go away.. its hot and i just want to walk this dog" I passed out when I got home 😴

I do not have an official autism diagnosis I am self-diagnosed but I definitely have ADHD and unmasking is I think the hardest thing I've ever done... And I'm raising kids 😅 what do you mean I don't actually like small talk and find it exhausting? What do you mean my thoughts are written on my face now? WHAT DO YOU MEAN I SAY THINGS I NORMALLY WOULDN'T!?!? 😅 I don't even feel like myself anymore BUT I'm a lot less exhausted now so I guess that's good 😅😆

Here's my trick: Never introduce yourself and never make eye contact during drop off and pick up. People tend to get your vibe early on. You can't do this if you've already started chatting with the neuroblands. Sorry. I luckily figured this out before i found out I was autistic. It has saved me from so many awkward chats
