One of my psychologist pet peeves (doesn’t mean I don’t laugh at them and repost them 😁) are all the 3-second clips on social media saying if you do a certain thing you definitely are autistic or adhd or AUDHD

We are all human and we all have fun interests and weird quirks about us that make us who we are. Some of these trades can be related with autism, ADHD, or learning disabilities, but often these traits do not impact the overall quality of our lives — in multiple areas of our lives (think relationships, work, school, home life) for years and years and years and years.

Just because you like to line up your cars or your m&ms 🙋🏻‍♀️, or talk + think quickly doesn’t mean you have “the ‘Tism” or ADHD… but if those things affect you to the degree that they are hindering your achievement potential, personal goals, and QOL, it may mean that there’s some things you want to reflect about and talk to a professional.

Clinical diagnosis matters. There has to be a very thorough data collection and assessment process that helps parse out your cognitive abilities, environmental impacts, and other life events that contribrute to what you’re experiencing… and that is impacting your quality of life in detrimental ways.

Smudged glasses taught me how to see.
Patriarchy taught me how to listen.
Feminism taught me that harmony is possible.

I grew up watching, nah...bathing in the world of 80-90s-and early 00's Disney. (Proud elder millennial, whoop whoop!) I would sketch wedding dresses all over my journals and school notes, fantasizing how one day I would meet the guy, the birds would sing, and I would get to live happily ever after....

“The first time I was called the F-word… and no, not that one.”

I remember the first time I was called the F word… “feminist.”Let’s set the scene. I was in college, sitting in an undergraduate psychology course — I believe it was Theories of Counseling.The college I attended was tiny (pop. 913), a small liberal arts school nestled in one of the richest...
