Kindle Notes & Highlights
Be more organized. Come to me sooner. I don’t know how to explain to someone who doesn’t live inside my head that they could have physically carried me to the office or glued a laptop down in front of me and I’d have still found a way to avoid the task.
Be more organized = ADHD ; Come to me sooner = autism ; this stood out to me specifically because I have AuDHD. Only one of them is what I was never diagnosed for but I hope to get a diagnosis before I turn 25.

The silence of the kitchen feels peaceful, not awkward, and I almost jump when he talks again.
I am so guilty for long periods of silence with my close friends. I love that the friendship never ends over it. Definitely autism coded.

“Following rules might be on the list of things I’m not great at.”
ADHD coded. Not because I can’t follow rules but because by the time I start on the tasks, I immediately forgot what the rules are.

“Make sure you’re not abusing her kindness. You don’t want to lose your friend.
Oh hell nah the coach did not just say that 😭
Abusing her kindness plays on a loop in my head as I exit Faulkner’s office.
Sometimes I feel this “abuse someone’s kindness” thought is why I lose too many friends.
The adrenaline hasn’t quite worn off yet, and I feel oversensitive to every sound and light.
I’ve never set New Year’s resolutions because I never stick to anything. I can’t even stick to a routine of things I have to do.
Technically AuDHD coded but seems like mostly ADHD coded. As autistics we romanticize routine, but instead of having the organized and strong routine follower autism I have the anti social autism. Even when I write my routine multiple times my ADHD takes over, and decides that I space out or neglect the routine. So not sticking to routine of things I have to do is ADHD coded.
