People who have disabilities can contribute in their own ways if you only let them

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder doesn't need to mean that your an extrovert or have a lot of energy. On the contrary, energy is not the same as hyperactivity! Many ADHDers are tired due to constant hyperactivity in the brain and it often leads to burnout.

ADHD and Autism is commonly referred to as AuDHD and is totally different from just having ADHD or just having Autism! It makes a unique combination, but it differs from person to person, of course.

Not all people with ADHD have problem with concentration. Attention and concentration is different things, and actually, hyperfocus is common in ADHD people. That means that we actually are good at focusing on a thing for a long time, and get all into it!

Stands for Complex Post-traumatic stress disorder and is a chronic form of post-traumatic stress after repeated trauma.

It affects the entire life, from managing everyday tasks to interpersonal relationships.

Common symptoms are flashbacks, nightmares, dissociation either physical or psychological, shut-downs, amnesia, hyoervigilence and an unhealthy level of alertness.

Autism Spectrum Disorder is a neurodevelopmental disorder, meaning you're born with it and it usually shows signs already in early childhood and even adolescence.

People with autism have different strengths and weaknesses, but the main areas that we're different in is communication, sensory processing, social interaction, information processing and because of all of this, the need for a structural environment.

Autism has nothing to do with IQ (intelligence/logical thinking) nor has it to do with EQ (emotional intelligence), it has more to do with how we interpret information and the output afterwards.

DID is a trauma-based diagnosis and a form of chronic post-traumatic stress disorder. It only affects people who had prolonged periods of trauma, and most often in early childhood combined with re-victimization in adulthood.

When a person has DID, they have different alters (or "parts") that has different traits, ages, appearences, voices and even hobbies and interests. The person can switch between alters in dissociation meaning when they are in a "shut-down" from reality.

Amnesia is a common symptom of DID switching although alters don't always come out for others to see. Sometimes a person which internally, and sometimes people with DID also remember the switch. So although amnesia is common and a requirement to get the diagnosis, it's not something that happens 100% of the time!

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, shortened EDS is a tissue disorder that affects joints, muscles and internal organs.

There are 13 types of EDS.

The type I have is called hEDS and is hypermobile EDS which means the joints are more mobile and flexible and that causes harm to the body long-term.

Hypermobile EDS often comes with POTS which short for Postural ortostatiskt takykardisyndrom and is a heart condition.

POTS causes dizziness and high resting pulse. It can cause problems when moving positions and doing fast moves.

(I’m still in the diagnostic evaluation for these diagnoses, but they’re pretty sure…)

Most people with PCOS are clinically infertile.

Symptoms vary a lot. I don't get periods at all, but I do get symptoms of a period sometimes, although not the bleeding.

"Stubborn belly fat" is a common symptom of PCOS. My stomach is very swollen very often.
