I wonder if Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria is a lot more prevalent in my life than I realized.

I hate (I don't use this word lightly) being questioned on my choices. It feels intensely emotionally painful, even if the questioner is being curious or trying to understand instead of accusing or blaming.

I have a graveyard of unfinished projects, business ideas, etc. I wonder if, and what part, RSD plays in my difficulties finishing and launching a thing publicly.

I definitely stress over details, worrying about how a thing I do will be perceived, how it could be judged, etc.

Does that resonate with anyone else? What's your experience with RSD?

The people you are referring to may be also autistic, like me, as more and more of us are diagnosed #AuDHD

Which type of ADHD have you been diagnosed with? I was diagnosed last year with the combined type.

Your problem that you are describing is something that I know very well when I am in hyperfocus. Anything can happen and I won’t notice. 😁 BUT before that I struggle so much to begin due to executive functions challenges and/or sensory overload.



One more from Kojo Sarfo as you seem to like them!

I feel so seen with that one! 😂

Another one by Kojo Sarfo! 🤣

(As usual you may not recognize yourself in this joke as each of us is unique).

Even though I’ve been unmasking, and sorting out my internalized ableism and internalized capitalism, and other unhealthy cultural messaging, for around eight years now, I still routinely find new aspects to unpack.

I found another big cluster recently and would like to share that with you.

😕 Today I melted down in a museum... maybe I should make a list of places where I melted down, when, and why... and write a book about it? 🤷 🙃

What's the most curious place you ever were hit by a meltdown?

I love this joke! 😂 (Author: Kojo Arfo)

(And as usual I need to mention that we are unique, so it may be *not the same for you.)

I've been working on updating a decision making process in a #coop from #voting to #consensus inspired by #ietf #decisionMaking process when a colleague made me realize that consensus process is not compatible with many #neurodivergent cognitive styles. It disproportionately favors #Neurotypicals and extraverted ppl while putting more introverted and less verbal type people at a disadvantage. Also it's yet another "social capital" dominated decision making process. Less social capital - less likely you'll actually speak up against the crowd.

The "no one left behind" goal is not fulfilled by the "no loud opposition" decision process. What process does that? We're staying with the simplistic voting for now but adding a prolonged debate. Any ideas? How other #cooperatives do that? Especially #anarchist ones?

I keep a paper journal with my gardening fails & successes because I'm AuDHD & need to have written notes to keep remembering important things.

I do better with handwriting notes on paper. I don't do as with with digital notes.

I think the more we know our own AuDHD selves, the better we can learn how to self manage ourselves & coexist in a society that constantly misunderstands who we are, as human individuals.
