I am MindBlind
United States
Приєднався 19 чер 2011
I'm a late diagnosed Autistic woman with ADHD, Aphantasia and a memory disorder called SDAM. This is my neurodivergent journey. I was formally diagnosed at age 42 with Autism & ADHD.
Aphantasia is the inability to voluntarily visualize in your mind's eye. I have five sense aphantasia.
SDAM stands for Severely Deficient Autobiographical Memory. Which is a lifelong inability to vividly recollect or re-experience personal past events from a first-person perspective.
Autism - dictionary definition: a developmental disorder of variable severity that is characterized by difficulty in social interaction and communication and by restricted or repetitive patterns of thought and behavior.
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is marked by an ongoing pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity that interferes with functioning or development.

How to exist with a Pathological Demand Avoidance Brain /Autism and ADHD
Переглядів 1,4 тис.21 день тому
Pathological demand avoidance is both a fascinating brain mechanism and also extremely disabling to live with. Understanding that it is a nervous system response, I think, helps go a long way in learning how to live with a PDA brain. When we can figure out what is triggering the perceived demand in a lot of instances we can work out an accommodation or a way to lessen that perceived demand. I h...
