Adult Advice for Non-neurotypical:
Because some things you don’t just “pick up”.
#1. Driving:
- Intersections can be scary. The unpredictability of the light turning yellow scared the shit out of me. But I learned recently that you look at the pedestrian crosswalk light as you are coming up on it. If it’s got a white person you’re good to look forward and keep driving. If it has numbers keep watching to see where the count is at. If its gonna get to zero before you get close enough be ready for a yellow and prepare to stop. Boom, no more heart attacks when the light randomly turns yellow!
- Clean your car windows everything you fill up gas. Too much build up on windows can be extra distracting or at least stress inducing for those with sensory overload.
- Drive at your comfort level. Don’t be a hero. That person honking at you to turn left into that lot can wait. Don’t gun openings you don’t feel comfortable with. You’ll get a feel for timing and spacing with practice.
- When lanes are merging from two to one and there are a lot of cars. Safe courteous practice is what’s called zipper merging. It’s just like it sounds. One person from each lane goes one after the other. That way everyone gets to go and no traffic builds up. So, slow down and make enough space for the person in the other lane to come in front of you. No need to panic.

“It is an absurd dichotomy to think that one can live with Jesus, but without the Church, to follow Jesus outside the Church, to love Jesus and not the Church.”— Pope Paul VI (via caritaschristiurgetnos)
Can we please stop associating being a good person with how much you’re willing to suffer in silence for other people? You can be a kind person and still say “no, I don’t have the time/energy to help you with that.” You can be a kind person and still say “this makes me uncomfortable, please stop.” You can be a kind person and still say “I disagree and here’s why.” You can be kind and still say “I’m not okay with this.” Being kind is about treating people with kindness and respect, not about being the human equivalent of a doormat!
