"adhd and autism are cousins, of course there's a lot of overlap, and we can come together to bond over shared experiences" and "for the love of GOD just because you have adhd doesn't mean you can speak on the autistic experience" and "not all neurodivergent people are autistic or have adhd and it's important to remember and avoid implying that places where adhd and autism overlap are universal nd experiences" MUST coexist
Actually no I'm putting this in a reblog instead of in the tags, absolutely yes to all of the above but I'm also going to add "ADHD isn't just autism lite and is its own disorder with its own issues and symptoms" and "people with ADHD get enough of everyone around them not taking them seriously and minimizing their experiences and refusing to make accommodations bc 'well ADHD isn't a REAL problem that's just that thing annoying kids have' and being neurodivergent in a different way doesn't fuckin mean you're exempt from that"
^ absolutely. this post was spurred specifically by a couple of instances of ppl with adhd speaking over autistic people (thanks tiktok very cool /s) but that doesn't mean adhd isn't a "real neurodivergence", that people with adhd don't have legitimate struggles, or that they have it better than autistic people. treating adhd as "basically autism but Easier" is incredibly harmful

The US Trans Survey is in February 2022 & it helps determine government funding
Pledge to take the U.S. Trans Survey
from the asks:
Would it be helpful for non-trans people to take the survey, or should we just stay out of it?
TLDR: if you are cis, signal boost the hell out of this survey instead. signal boost it to various communities, especially ones reaching out to marginalized communities. if you are trans, then please also signal boost the hell out of this survey too.
We need to signal boost this to rural & non-urban-areas so the trans people there get counted, we need API (Asian, Pacific Islander) trans people to get counted. We need bi/pan trans people, we need military veterans, we need other demographics too so please contact the people who are conducting this survey. Here are their information.
You can be in a different country, and still fill out the non-US-citizen survey, as long as you're trans.
Do Not Hesistate With Any Question or Accessibility Problem, Please Contact & Ask These People:
- General USTS team - Equipo general de la USTS ustranssurvey@transequality.org
- Josie Caballero – USTS Project Manager -- Dirección de Gestión de la USTS jcaballero@transequality.org; 202-804-6057
- Sybastian Smith – NCTE National Organizer -- Organizador Nacional NCTE ssmith@transequality.org; 202-804-6042
- Alex del Rosario – USTS Outreach Manager -- Gestión de Difusión de la USTS adelrosario@transequality.org; 202-804-6052
Other Q&A's that came up during a 2021 November 16th presentation:
- firstly, NCTE USTS did not get authority (IRB approval) to go into the protected class of incarcerated trans people
- secondly, you don't have to be a US-citizen to contribute data, but you will be given a non-us-citizen survey.
- If you reside in the US but are just temporarily abroad, then you would be able to respond to the US-resident survey. If you are permamently living abroad, you would take the survey for non-US residents.
- if you have any other questions about these categories then please contact the USTS team for help.
The rough timeline for the USTS:
- Pledge Period is until the end of January
- Fielding Period starts around the beginning of February with a 6 week survey window
- Report writing with start shortly thereafter and go until end of 2022
You need to be trans to take the survey, but anyone can know a trans person.
