Day 23 I've been living with Nou for a week I cried because I didn't have space I didn't like sleepovers And it still feels like a sleepover I want a nook And a key I think I'm more autistic and Nou is more ADHD Did I tell you I have ADHD? I've been on the meds almost 3 weeks She's also AuDHD We have different paces for everything She eats and walks fast She shops and washes slow and does the things on our list slow Like the bathroom light And the leaky kitchen faucet I love her mama and her brother I think I have even more in common with them than with her It's odd, it's new They relax me We chat and chat and chat And Nou gets really tired She stiffens up I think it's heavy for her Things I'm trying to learn: It's okay to say no Things I'm trying to accept: My hormones are abusing my brain |
