This board exists primarily for the use of Neurodiverse Mumsnetters. Others are welcome to post but please be respectful.
I quit. I quit social media. I quit having a smart phone. I quit trying to maintain friendships. I quit trying to be the family member everyone expects. I quit small talk. I quit the possibility of ever having a job. I quit trying to keep a volunteering position.
At 34 years old I think I am more than entitled to give up. I have failed at being neurotypical, but I will spend the rest of my days enjoying my neurodiverse self.
Note: When I say give up I am not suicidal, I merely have come to terms that I will spend the rest of my days as a couch potato although I am thin so I am a couch sweet potato.
I don't know why I posted this. Perhaps you also feel like not trying anymore, if you do go ahead and join me.
Use this forum to discuss neurodiverse parenting.

I’ve recently given up as well. It’s been empowering but also strange because I wasn’t diagnosed until 53. So I’ve had this idea of myself that was just a mask and not the real ND me. Here’s to flying our freak flags! 💃🕺🏼😃
