If drew everything I wanted to about today, it would take me half a week. Every single person I saw today was miserable. People in cars. People walking on the street. Everyone I knew. 

There is solace in grieving as a whole, and strength in supporting each other. I don’t feel safe, and i don’t know when I’ll feel safe again, but I can and do feel tremendously cared for.

the best part about stranger things is that they can’t solve anything until they put the three groups together because each group is acting within a separate genre

mike, lucas, dustin, and el are in a weird sci-fi coming of age story where the group of plucky misfit kids solve the mystery and test their friendship along the way

nancy and jonathan are in a horror movie where the teenagers have to kill the monster set against a backdrop of high school drama and romance

joyce and hopper are in a conspiracy thriller where the adults have to figure out what shady stuff the government is up to while also dealing with the difficulties of their personal lives

they all approach the issue within the confines of their genre, but none of those approaches work because none of them are seeing the whole picture. it’s only when all the threads start to converge that they can actually get anything done.

not a lot of people really understand how difficult it can be to process and respond to information with autism and/or ADHD

i get confused easily. i do things wrong. i forget how to do things i’ve already done before. i do things in weird, inefficient ways.

please try not to get frustrated with me when i move through a process slowly or clumsily, and most of all, please don’t yell at me. in these moments, i could use nothing more than patience and gentleness.

i like that stimming is viewed positively online but like if you love me with glitter jars and light patterns, you have to love me with rocking, flapping, hair twirling, and chewing. you dont get to pick and choose what kind of stimming you embrace when you get to know a person. you cant just accept my pretty stim things and reject the others. it doesnt work like that. dont forget it.
