  • People with ADHD have well-documented issues with sensory sensitivities and transitions.

    I am a therapist, and most of my clients are neurodivergent. Almost all of them struggle with showers, brushing teeth, and washing hair. The neurotypical ones don’t.

    I don’t know who pissed in your cereal, but by all means, go off about how “special” we are. We know.















  • I’ve been knitting a lot recently, but some of these projects have been finished like 70-90% for a while, and I finally got around to the final 10-30%.

    I love to knit and watch horror movies, it’s my little escape from reality. I’m lucky enough to own a business where I set my own hours, so I have plenty of time (granted, the house has not been deep cleaned in forever, but whatever… I’ve got my priorities).



  • I mean, this is patently false. Mental health professionals - especially therapists - aren’t there to “allow” or not “allow” you to talk about things. You can talk about whatever you like.

    And most therapists, especially clinical social workers, are well-versed in systemic perspectives and anti-oppressive practices.

    I’m a clinical social worker and a therapist, and I talk with my clients about socioeconomic factors all the time. Especially because I see a lot of people from the LGBTQIA+ community, and it’s impossible to do therapy with any marginalized community without mentioning the social aspects.

    I get that there are bad therapists out there who may not do this. But still, these kind of posts just gaslight people about what therapy is really like.
