Polyamorous And Neurodivergent

A community for Polyamorous Neurodivergent folks.

With the new Twitter restrictions, not sure how viable this account is going to remain, especially since Musk hasn't made it clear how long the limits will be imposed.


I'm probably gonna be quiet on this account for a few days. The Supreme Court decisions, coupled with my own Long Covid bout has me reeling to say the least. I'll be updating over on my personal account, @RamonaQuaxli, but this one will probably be quiet for a few days.


The downside to being Autistic and Polyamorous is that I do not pick up on flirting. Even if it's overt, unless it's plainly stated. Case in point, a friend I kind of liked asked if she could show me some nudes. I said sure. And proceeded to COMPLIMENT HER LIGHTING.

ADHD can be incredibly expensive. And it’s not just the impulsive spending. It’s the stuff you lose, break, forget you had so get another one, build/install incorrectly so you have to buy it again, forget to maintain, etc…

something really sad about an adult adhd diagnosis is looking back on an entire lifetime of lost items & brain confusion and realizing that in a lot of situations, i actually couldn't have tried harder.

I feel like being ND can be an advantage in Polyamory, especially if you naturally communicate plainly and openly. Being able to say things like "I am mad because X, but I still love you and want to reassure you that I want to work through this" is so refreshing compared to 1/2

"How do I treat all my relationships equally in Polyamory?" Simple. You don't. Treat relationships equitably. Give each relationship the attention and commitment is needs individually. Different relationships require different levels, and that's okay.


It's sad that whenever I search Twitter for the word Autistic, the majority of what I find are people disparaging and degrading us.

Type the phrase "I'm polyamorous because" and let autocorrect finish the rest. I'll go first. I'm polyamorous because I'm not going back to the ER for a little bit.


Autistic flirting is all like, "Hi. I would like to flirt with you. Is that okay?" And honestly? Top tier game.


Hey y'all! Apologies I haven't done much with this account this week. I'm trying to balance running two Twitters now and having a personal life, so I'm figuring that out. We'll have more content here soon though!


What tips do you use to help your polyamory dating life if you have ADHD? Share them with us! One I use is turning phone notifications off for every app I don't use for direct one on one communication. I don't need Twitter popping up with a random Tweet to distract me.

Autistic people can be funny, but maybe not when we intend to be 😂

For Autistic followers, what's your Special Interest? Please share with us! Mine is Lore. Whatever tv series, book series, video game series, etc I'm in to, I want to know EVERYTHING about its world building. 36 Lessons of Vivec? Yes please! Fun debate about the Force? Uh huh!


Being neurodivergent can be an advantage in Polyamory if your NDness causes you to be direct in your communication. Polyam requires lots of open communication, and if you already naturally do that, you're ahead of the curve!


A Relationship Anarchy polycule that engages in parallel play is the ND Polyamorist's dream, I swear.

"A Relationship Anarchist polycule just sounds like a friend group." Honestly, that take wasn't too far off the mark. The difference between a friend group and an RA polycule is how the people involved define their commitments and relationships to each other. That autonomy 1/2
