Ausome Memes
- I know you guys are out there, and I metaphorically see yall
Meme: Two panels.
1st panel > * Drake in shunning posture > * "With all that you have accomplished, you cannot be AuDHD. Stop trying to find excuses or pity."
2nd panel > * Drake in welcoming posture > * "I'm impressed with your accomplishments despite being AuDHD. You're an amazing person and could contribute even more with proper support. I hope whatever you achieve improves my life somehow."
Why is it so hard for people to work together and support each other? Why do things turn into competitions, disagreements, rigidity, who's right and who's wrong?
For all my autistics, ADHDers, and AuDHDers out there making it happen with limited support and extra barriers, I know you exist and I'm proud of you. I hope this post helps you feel seen today. ✊❤️
PS- I'm having one them days. 🌊🌊🌊

Meme: Two panels. Left panel is an Uno card that reads, "Understand situational context or draw 25." The right panel is labelled Me and has a drawing of the number 25 with the pencil placed underneath.
- It is a solution
Image: Lisa Simpson giving a presentation with a determined disposition.
Caption on the screen: The "double-empathy problem" is misnamed because it is not a problem. It is a theory that explains why we observe limited empathy between autistic and non-autistic individuals. Not only is it not a problem, it is a solution because it helps us understand why things are the way they are. Stop calling it a problem. It is now the "interneurotype empathy divide"...or something. Idk, but it is not a problem.
- I think I might be slightly prosopagnotic
Probably why sometimes it takes me a while to recognize people.
Image: 2 panels.

1st: Someone holding up two cards, one is a picture of Michael Keaton and the other of Bruce Willis. The caption reads, "Corporate needs to you find the differences between this person and this person."
-
2nd: Pam from the office labelled as Me saying, "They're the same person."
Edit: Gemini believes that they're 2 different people.
