The airport ia a brain trap for me. While the routine is getting easier, I still inevitably ask questions or blurt something out that get me into a situation that causes delays—especially through TSA. Sometimes this causes unexpected laughter and other times not so much. @actuallyautistic#audhd#autistic#adhd

Do you ever feel that everywhere is a potential brain trap? Maybe my adhd is super bad, I don’t mean it in a bad way all the time. I just mean anything remotely interesting to me is a brain trap to my current focus.
@EVDHmn@actuallyautistic Absolutely. The airport and boarder crossings interactions overwhelm and unnerve me in a different way than the everyday brain traps—likely because there is a power imbalance and higher stakes with misunderstandings.

Oh absolutely, misunderstandings at those places, I don’t even want to think of the extent of painful. I’m not sure if security is trained on how adhd, or autism presents, people could stress people out and make it worse. Headphones and a book typically keep me fairly centered, give myself plenty of time and remember to breathe in rhythm . Thanks for sharing, I definitely saw things from a different perspective. Have a great weekend
