Tell me, why is it that I clean my room and I lose all my crochet hooks except for the teeny tiny ones and I need to finish an Amigurumi snuggler that I’m testing and made (almost finished) with size 7 Chenille yarn 
I was gonna tag this, but there is no tag for aggghhhhhh
Edit; CRISIS AVERTED!!! I HAVE FOUND THE HOOKS, AND PART OF A DRAGON WING I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR TOO, THE WING STOLE THE HOOK ITS ALL THE WINGS FAULT, and absolutely nothing to do with me leaving it in a random basket in our living room.
I took over half an hour but I found it

Man, I do stuff like that all the time! Reorganize my stuff and put it away (which is actually a huge effort for me!), and then suddenly I can’t find anything!

They’re either in the couch or my toddler has stolen them

I usually just shove it in my pocket when standing up, and start searching for it for the next 10 minutes.

Oh yes, I’ve done that many times, including with my glasses surprisingly enough I’ve not sat on my glasses. I have sat on my crochet hooks many times when they were in my pocket.

Well, there were some decently young kids playing in the street when I went to get an Amazon package earlier, but how quiet of a toddler do you have last one I met wasn’t that quiet, ok scratch that the last one I met vibbed and actually wasn’t that loud, they are 100% neurodivergent in more then one way, which we (they basically are family) all pretty much know, so we vibbed, I love having actual conversations with toddlers & kids when I have to talk to one, otherwise I can’t pretend I understand them because I don’t and I suck at pretending, so neurodivergent kids are the only ones that I can spend any amount of time around, or they cry and then I want to (or do) cry because to much, but neurodivergent kids can chill, out of context this paragraph sounds creepy 
anywho I’m Audhd and remember a lot more of when I was little (like 19months & younger little) then most even among other neurodivergents, and because of that I try not to baby talk unless it’s a literal baby because it felt (keep in mind I said felt not was, because I know it wasn’t meant that way) so condescending to me when I was little and people just baby talked to me and I’m standing there like you have all your teeth so why aren’t you using them (but like my little kid vocabulary version of that shortened sentence) and not me randomly going on an unrelated tangent, I’m tired from thinking I lost my hooks I need a nap now (where was this? I need a nap energy when I had to take naps as a little kid) it skipped over kid and sat on adult going “this adult shall forever feel tired, from any amount of exertion even thought sounds good” but don’t forget they have an excess of energy as a kid that no adult will be able to keep up with

Yeah that was a bit all over the place. I believe we’re all a little neurolospicy. My boy is 1 1/2 and communicates very well. We don’t and never have baby talked him

Same, I literally was told at the doctors Wednesday to take it easy, pace yourself (apparently keep listening to your dog [my SDIT] she’s been pacing me pretty well when I listen and let her) but my brain is always like you know how you thought (and may actually have been at the time) you were dying the other day, instead of rest how about we do the opposite and just speed clean till it feels like our bones are gonna break, yeah that let’s do that {weird SpongeBob voice over screen slide}~ 2 days later } me - “WHERE IS EVERYTHING??? WHY CAN’T I FIND ANYTHING?? BUT I CLEANED I SHOULD KNOW WHERE IT IS NOW?!?!?!”

My parents went with one did baby talk and one didn’t, our whole family has stuff, but I’m usually the first one to get diagnosed, some family members choose not to as it wouldn’t help them to have the label, my mum doesn’t mind having labels they just cost a lot to evaluate when we can just look at me who got free-low cost evaluation and go yup matches up, so we do self identify as “yup I probably am“ and then me who’s like “but what if I was wrong, I will tell no one but my 3 closest friends until I am sure with a official diagnosis” and also completely fine with other self evaluated conclusions it can be professional or not for anyone but me, my brain say mine must be professional or I might be wrong and my brain doesn’t like that for me, others are their own selves, they know their brain I do not. Anywho again sleepy time now, neurodivergence’s & physical health conditions (particularly ones I’m diagnosed with) tend to be my special interests and hyperfixations, thus the multiple runs…

I almost had a heart attack when I couldn’t find my hook right next to my crochet snake project. It turns out, when I was at school, my little brother (who is 1) picked up my hook and gave it to my grandma. I’m SOOO glad he did that instead of dropping it off in a random place in my house anyways I’m going to lock my projects in my room and keep the key in my backpack so my lil brother can’t grab my stuff

I’ve done over a decade’s worth of work with children and teens with Autism and other neurospicy conditions. We always used to say “See the Able, not the label.” Never let a diagnoses or label keep you from doing things. I am also AudHd, I feel like all of my senses are super heightened. I have blue eyes, so great vision and I see well in the dark but lights give me migraines. I have great hearing, taste, and smell but anll 3 are extremely sensitive. I have to touch everything, esp if it looks soft but I don’t like being touched. I’m a walking conundrum.
