Hi, I’m Andrea 🌱

I write from the intersection of memory, reading, neurodivergence, and what often feels like emotional overflow. I’m interested in the crossroads between migration, feminism, and mental health.

I come from other platforms hoping to find a gentler space here—to share books, ideas in progress, and reflections on living with BPD and OCD.

If any of this resonates with you, I’d love to connect 🌸

[P] It sickens me how much hiverarchians just obey capitalist megaparasites ("Buy lawn equipment. Use it. Buy more. Serve. Obey. Obey.") at the cost of nature, the friggin' daleks are a disease to nature, a poison. I mean, they see nature thriving and it's "disgusting," anyone or anything that isn't "fitting in" and serving LLM-like hiverarchy servitude prompts is "disgusting." A thinking mind is a "weed" to this noxiously unnatural invasion.

[P] "ERROR: Programmatic rules for green management not being observed and followed. SOLUTION: Utilise mowing to reduce tall grass to meet hiverarchy expectations. BEEP BOOP."

They never bothered to ask why, to wonder or query, to analyse or investigate, they just followed their programmatic prompt imperatives—just like LLMs. This is what separates neurodivergence from neurotypical hiverarchy—actual conscious thought.

Non-autistic people often would mistake my refusal to go somewhere or do something for a simple stubbornness or a phobia of some kind, and would try to pressure (sometimes in a ‘you must face your fear to overcome it’ way) me into doing it, and get angry when that either doesn’t work at all, or if I do that - I’d be “off” for quite a while - they think I’m doing so just out of spite.

But the thing is, it’s not that. That high-need autistic kid screaming at the top of their lungs, shaking, falling on the ground and pushing or even biting those trying to drug them somewhere - that’s me inside. I’m just masking that with trying to reason my way out, trying to present as a ‘functional adult’, but inside I just have that autistic block and am on the verge of a serious meltdown, and there always are reasons - my autistic reasons - why I refuse (like that bridge doesn’t look safe, I don’t do trespassing, I know that going to that place I would need to deal with so much stuff I’d not be able to maintain my mental health in functional limits etc) - it’s not ‘phobia’ or ‘spite’, it’s just a block - that may look like major overreaction to non-autists, but is actually orders of magnitude smaller outside, where they see it, than it’s inside.
Do you also have those blocks? Did you find any ways to communicate them successfully to non-autistic people without actually falling on the floor, screaming, biting or running away and hiding?

Pete Wharmby - Untypical

Accessible, first-hand account of growing up autistic without knowing it. Friendships, socialising, school, work, meltdowns, masking, special interests. Subtitled "How the world isn't built for autistic people and what we should all do about it". PW was a teacher for a while, and a strength of the book is its straightforward, practical ideas about making schools better for autistic kids. A useful book!

[P] The "inability" to fit in is merely an artifact of morality vs. mass impaired morality. One isn't too "morally rigid" to fit in, one objects to how immoral one has to be to fit in—and all the injustices one is meant to ignore as a codified aspect of that systemic immorality. A moral mind can't reconcile fitting in with hiverarchy alongside the injustices that hiverarchy eagerly and consistently permits and enables.

[P] I'm 100 per cent sure that there's going to be a moment in the near future where neurotypical hiverwrchy will be faced with its own moral impairment and lack of moral agency—as fitting in and doing what the megaparasites of a hiverarchical structure want one to do is not moral. And that the "moral rigidity" of neurodivergents is simply not being morally impaired and having the capacity for moral agency—hence not fitting in.

DEI doesn't just benefit employees belonging to marginalized groups. It helps the bottom line. By trashing DEI initiatives, companies are shooting themselves in the foot. You can do the right thing and *benefit* from it!

"According to Deloitte and others, neurodiverse teams bring 2.5 times the cash flow per employee, 28% higher revenue, 30% greater profit margins, and about double the net income compared to their competitors."

Sometimes I feel like a broken record when #writing about #neurodivergence

But re-processing my past through the lens of #Autism #AuDHD #ADHD has brought validation & compassion—where before was self-gaslighting & abuse

So, at the risk of repetition, I'll err on the side of talking about it too much. Because we NEED our realities spoken

Especially at a time when our entire right to exist is under attack

Screenshot of my full linked post. It reads (in part): Sometimes I feel like a broken record when I write about my neurodivergence. But what is our life experience if not how we perceive & experience the world? I cannot extricate myself from my neurodivergence any more than I can remove my brain from the equation of how I experience anything—it's the lens through which I exist. Upon sharing publicly that I am Autistic, many well-meaning people said things along the lines of "don't let a label define you!" But Autistic/ADHD/AuDHD are not "labels." They are inherent to who I am. Progressively re-processing my past through the lens of my growing underst&ing of my own neurodivergence has provided me with a sense of validation, compassion, & tenderness for myself—where before was self-gaslighting, self-criticism, & self-abuse. So, as much as I worry my writing will become irritatingly repetitive, sounding like "everything is always about neurodivergence," I equally feel that the significance of neurodivergence deserves to be voiced. For me, it's been life-saving. And I've heard similar experiences from others. So, at the risk of annoying or irritating, I'll err on the side of talking about it too much. Because so many of us NEED to hear it. We need our realities spoken. We need our experiences validated. We need our full selves to be seen. Especially at a time when (at least in my country) our entire right to exist is under attack.
