I’ve done this a lot and I have to be mindful not to. It’s easy to do. I’m also Autistic so little eye contact means eyes need to go somewhere, but can’t go down!

I can override with caffeine

Surely nothing chronic will come of this in 10 years… 🙃

“includes internships with the Heritage Foundation” there is it, fucking hell

When I hate this but I’m also guilty of doing it

Same and I know this feeling and it sucks lol

Me with distraction: feeling fine, barely getting work done

Me without distraction: rumination HELL, feel like shit, still barely getting work done

Give me interesting work and I will give you unlimited output

Offend the Autism? I AM THE AUTISM

Probably easier to list what I don’t experience but I don’t have an easy way to tally it on my phone and post it here in text format and it’s seeming like a lot of work so brain is refusing. Nothing personal meant, it’s a helpful list

Both, attended TAG programs, skipped a grade, was constantly criticized for not applying self more

My dad smoked, unsure if Autistic, is ADHD. He quit during my childhood.

I never smoked, am AuDHD, am male.

My child ended up being AuDHD.

Would love to see a replacement party emerge that actually tries to meet what non-republican society is looking for and isn’t just “not the awful ones”.
