You know how neurotypical people talk about how they make and hold eye contact?
It’s a lie. They do no such thing. I can do it on ADHD meds and if you don’t look away it really freaks them out.

I’m on a tiny instance and don’t always see all comments so maybe this has been answered already.
IIRC, it’s not so much about •staring• into someone else’s eyes, but about the patterns with which NT and ND people scan faces. What parts we look at and when, in which order, and how often etc. That’s usually intuitive, and those patterns differ.
So when I talk to some NT person, they feel I’m kind of strange, or even dishonest. They may not even realise why they feel it, or they may think I’m avoiding to look at them the way they instinctively expect.
And when I talk to other autistics or auDHD people, I feel more comfortable around our interaction as well. So it goes both ways, of course.

Last year Zoe and I commenced operation “Oui Oui Baguette” to move our boat, Scarlet, from Gosport to La Rochelle in France. This was interrupted by a small engine fire which left us stranded in the Brittany port of Quiberon over winter to make repairs.
Anyway, we moved the boat to La Rochelle a month ago. Today we commence “Operation Churro”. We plan to leave La Rochelle shortly and in a single leg of 36-40 hours in the Bay of Biscay arrive at Hendaye on the French/Spanish border.
The orcas were attacking boats in this area about a month ago but since then seem to have moved west and are now heading south from Galicia to Lisboa so we should be safe from them (fingers crossed). Weather looks ok. We will probably be motoring for the first part with the hope we can sail from later today.

Given where we are going on bathroom bans, each and every #UK Labour Party member and supporter on the #Fediverse might want to think on this deeply, and consider how many minorities you are prepared to sacrifice ...

🧵1/2 "A Brussels court has ruled in favor of a 51-year-old transgender woman in her dispute with the UCI, Le Soir reports. The transgender woman was previously banned from women's races but is now allowed to compete again. The judge ruled that the exclusion was unjustified.
The UCI had refused to renew her license in the "Women's Elite" category because she did not meet specific requirements for transgender participants. According to the court, these rules are discriminatory, as cisgender women are not required to meet these requirements
While protecting women's competitions is a legitimate goal in itself, the judge finds the UCI's measures disproportionate. According to the ruling, there is a lack of convincing scientific evidence that the current rules are necessary."

Belgium is extremely trans friendly from memory. Eventually the cracks or lack of due diligence (or both) will emerge in the pseudo science used to ban trans folk from sport, it's just time.
At some point in the last 4 months since starting ADHD meds the state I regard as normal has swapped over.
I’m currently in the post medicated state and I feel like some confused scared shadow of a person terrified of her own emotions which she doesn’t understand and bemused by the world.
This used to be who I was all the time.
That’s a lot to come to terms with.

So what’s it like being on amphetamine?
Well it’s a lot like being on HRT except you’d have to detransition every day before bed.
Racing Thoughts In ADHD & How To Calm Them
Imagine your mind is like a web browser with dozens of tabs open, all playing videos or music at the same time. For many people with ADHD, this is what everyday thinking feels like.Olivia Guy-Evans, MSc (Simply Psychology)

@Valdus With some more exploration, timing the stimulants to run out just before bed, IF I then actually go to bed. Too long and not only do I lose the executive function to go to bed, the racing thoughts start up and keep me awake.
However, there's a nice little cheat mode to get round this that I've discovered, which I like to call, "a bedtime double espresso"
I’m having a custom corset made because I’m worth it. Went for the fit test of the mockup today (the final thing is a sumptuous red with black lace detail).
Anyway, she’s gonna take it in another 2-3cm at the waist and give me more push up in the bust.
Exciting!
Me? I don't know how up you are on things ooop North.... I could talk about my wonderful partner @psotle , our travels and adventures, finding a job that feels *right*, we had a second cat for a few months...
I'll settle for life is good, I'm in a good place and really exciting adventure to come later this year ☺️

Selfies. One medicated, one unmedicated.
I feel like I’m leading a weird dual existence. Not two people but one person who has a consistent personality but two very different ways of being.
It’s so odd.
I honestly did not expect starting ADHD meds to result in me seriously considering almost completely giving up alcohol.
Almost seems a shame. Whatever. Gotta move on.
@Alexa Devreux-Swift I was mostly using it to relax.
But it’s kinda crap at that compared to amphetamine.
So, bit of a problem and it’s a nice problem to have, but still a problem.
The ADHD meds are working better than I’d dared hope.
I’m almost functionally neurotypical on them.
I have no neurotypical socialisation though. I’m a neurodiverse person cosplaying but not masking. Ok. Bit odd. Whatever.
Pretty much all of my friends are neurodiverse.
This appears to be fine amongst the ones who are ADHD and medicated.
The ones who aren’t though; I really need to stop making eye contact because I think I’m freaking them out.
Sorry everyone x

I honestly never dreamed my life would go in the direction of having to manage the duality of being a functional adult who can do adult things in the daytime and is sensible and all that stuff, and a chaos goblin by the evening.
The transition I saw coming from a long time before, if I’m being honest. But while neurodivergence was always obvious to anyone who met me, finally getting the actual answer and following it through to Planet Amphetamine and all that implies has blindsided me a bit.
These drugs are very very weird to be on.
But they may have saved my life.

in reply to Sarah Brown • • •I was halfway through an answer in my head when I noticed that you asked for a neurotypical perspective. Very interesting, indeed. But sadly I'm neurodivergent.
But I can tell you from the last hacker congress I attended this year (Gulaschprogammiernacht): When we realize that we are all the same, we stop masking. I had so many interesting chats with other people talking over each other, always switching topics while literally vibrating, waving hands, constantly moving and no eye contact. And it was relaxing! I told one girl who was on the AuDHD spectrum and first she looked like a brick is smashing though a window and then she asked if she can hug me and said "Yes, you are right, I'm having symptoms but I'm fine with it and it relaxes me not to constantly wonder what the neurotypics think, because there are none here!" 😅
