Jaw. My teeth are so worn down I had to get a mouth guard to wear for the night.

When someone or something is more than 5 min late, I begin to doubt what day/date it is, and stress if I'm in the right place. Because surely other people can't be THIS unpunctual right? Which obviously means I must have gotten something wrong. Only I very rarely do. It's them--but it's stressful 🥴

Autism: ‘Please consult with the last year’s meeting minutes, page 4, section 3.2.’

ADHD: ‘But I will never get to win…’

Autism: ‘But of course you will—when I agree with you.’

ADHD: ‘That hardly ever happens.’

Autism: ‘I agree.’

Autism: ‘Welcome to the annual meeting of board of directors of Anna 🐌 AutisticVA.
Both directors: #Autism and #ADHD are present.
Housekeeping: When voting on agenda points; Autism has 2 votes and ADHD 1.’

ADHD: ‘That’s scandalous! I don’t remember ever agreeing to such unfairness!’

ADHD: ‘You know what baffles me?’

Autism: ‘Hhhhm?’

ADHD: ‘You are able to sort 400 emails in an hour, but it takes you over an hour to respond just to one. It doesn’t make sense.’

Autism: ‘Correct. Because I’m supposed to be the one doing the logic here.’

When browsing online, my ADHD saw a portable power bank.

ADHD: ‘Look! Can we have this?’ 😍

Whipping up a spreadsheet to compare specs and prices Autism said: ‘Yes, this classifies as a useful utility tool.’ 🧐

I haven't but internally I'm afraid the way I explain things in my Glees could be perceived as such even though they're not for NTs. So, I wonder, as an autistic person, would you consider my way of explaining things condescending or helpful?
