I just want to find local supports on how to be a more functional autistic adult and all I’m getting is information for parents 
particularly lots of things are age-specific or have age limits
I’m worried I’m not even gonna be able to get help without a dx?? But I’m scared to get a dx because what if I want to move someday and their immigration laws don’t allow autistic people 
Lol just went on an hour round trip to clear my head

Is ADHD a neurotype or is that just how we describe autism?

Kia ora,
At the uni I’m living at there is a few feral cats. Most of them (8/10) are kittens who we hope get desexed so they will be viable candidates for rehoming. Unfortunately our uni will only shoot them rather than help them as they live around the halls of residence (where I live). Unfortunately one of the cats had to be put down today as she was hit by a car. We also plan to desex the others to prevent more kittens.

I’m very VERY new to the autistic community so I like to defer to people who have been there longer than me.
However I just saw something about how dog training is abusive because it’s “ABA for dogs” and traumatises them the same way?
I’d appreciate some genuine discussion; I find it helpful to get multiple perspectives on things
I just saw something about how calling cops “pigs” is the “same concept” as saying “that’s so gay” and I’m not sure how to process that
Do people have any thoughts
I love waking up my social battery at 20% every day and having it be drained so quickly

...some of her answers were inconsistent (as were mine but I’ve been through the answers with the psychologist) so now the psych wants to talk to her...
Which means I have to tell her what it’s for
Just emailed one of my lecturers cause our slides described sex chromosomes as “determining gender” 
Eee my new ear plugs arrived today! They’re meant to quieten sound without losing clarity, and look stylish but discrete :) will update once I’ve tried them out!

Pretty sure I’ve found a way to get my mum to fill out the ADHD questionnaire without her figuring out what it’s for
Should I be studying? Yes.
BUT I’ve made my second appointment for my ADHD assessment, a CBT appointment for my skin picking with a psychologist, and an appointment with an academic advisor!
This stuff is really hard for me and super awkward but I’m determined to do it anyway :)
