going to remake my pinned post for real later but extended about me is here for now, please read before you follow

My name is Dana O'Hara & preferred pronouns are it/its or ae/aer/aers/aerself although I don't consider anything else to be misgendering. Do not call me a man, girl/kitsune/fox is cool, anything else is fine too, I am vaguely bigender if you need a label. I am Finnish & a mestizo & a Jew but I am born/raised/live in the States and only speak English proficiently, although I am learning Finnish. I am going to be moving to Canada in the Summer. I will contradict this because I have [polyfragmented] DID, this doesn't mean I want you to do so unless you're talking to a specific alter; alters are sometimes tagged in [alter].txt format but I usually don't know who I am.

I am a hard drug user and I talk about it; block #hard drug mention or #opioid/meth/benzo etc mention if this bothers or triggers you. Do not bother interacting at all if you're going to be weird about it or block me when I bring it up. If you are uncomfortable with me talking about drugs say it upfront; if you are going to assume I just abuse my Adderall script and freak out/unperson me when I joke about smoking meth, this is your last warning. Also, because this is Tumblr, I vape, and if you spread rhetoric that it is as bad as or worse than smoking you are killing people. It's about as bad as hitting a weed pen is and I'm not going to argue this but I'll find sources if you ask nice. Nicotine doesn't cause cancer that we know of, but alcohol is a class one carcinogen; nobody is posting about the evils of alcohol 24/7 because it makes you sound like a Mormon. I also use a refillable box mod; disposables are definitely not the only way to vape if this is your issue with it. Asks open if you want to switch from disposables or help making your own juice (both of these are so much cheaper).

Tags I use often are listed on this post; click them for more of whatever.

Does anyone else not high functioning with low support needs™ have different support need specifiers than your level on your official diagnosis? Here's a description of severity levels, yes you have to read all of this for the rest of the post to make sense sorry, note the severity specifiers

Relevant part here is the first and last paragraph

Here is my diagnosis, note the severity specifiers, possibly note the mommy issues and burntout gifted kid diagnosis, not relevant, just funny

Like, I've felt like I was closer to level 2 support needs (without my significant social support and help I would Actually Die cause I need help with transportation and shopping, can't shower 90% of the time, stuff like that) despite the fact that I was told I would be considered an Aspie if I was diagnosed prior to the DSM 5.. Finally looking closely at my diagnosis, I am literally diagnosed with level 2 support needs! I feel like there really is an issue with doctors not wanting to diagnose you with anything beyond level 1 if you're smart/capable of interest related complex activities (I can analyze malware on my computer and learn Finnish myself even though I can't go shopping by myself) even if you have really obvious issues with basic life stuff... Like wdym I have level 1 support needs except every area I could need support in I have level 2 support needs 😭
