Hello people ✨️

Yeah, so ..... I'm Coco, I'm 17 years old.

I dunno if it counts as a disability, but I have ADHD, autism, which includes a bubch of sensory issues, and insomnia.

I mostly have problems with identifying my own or other peopke's emotions and with auditory processing disorder (not diagnosed, but obvious).

Btw, I'm typing the message on my 37th hour since I last slept, so plrase forgive typos, the text is kinda blurry.

Please tzll me if it's wrong for me to join the Disability Community.

Have a cookie and some milk 🍪🥛

I don't think that would be wrong. I have Autism, and I'm on there, so I think that you'd be fine with joining. They won't tell you you're wrong for joining, even of you do though. 😊


and be sure to get some sleep soon 😊

You may also be interested in Support Plus if you haven't already checked that out, it includes ADHD and autism as topics.

You're very much welcomed here @artisticCoconut81194 :) You might find the Learning & Developmental Disabilities section useful to you, or the Support Plus area that's linked above.

Identifying as disabled is very much a personal journey. It's up to you whether you identify as disabled, but I know that's not very easy to do sometimes. Some conditions are automatically seen as disabilities whilst others aren't and it depends on how much it affects you day to day.

I hope you've gotten some sleep since writing this post!

Heyy, sorry for the late responce

Thanks for answering so kindly, I feel a lot safer now (in the Community I mean)

And yeah, I slept a bit during the past two weeks! I even slept 13 hours once, but it mostly ranges between 3 and 6.

Have a nice day 💖

@artisticCoconut81194 first I would like to welcome you to the disability community. Yes you are welcome here. Even if you didn't have autism and insomnia and ADHD you would be welcome here. Because people who have disabilities need to feel supported.


When this was created my goal was to Bring awareness so I asked the leaders of the community at the time along with CEO of 7 cups to make this happen. When I joined 7 cups many years ago I saw it as a community for everybody to belong. So I quickly and efficiently reached out to make a difference. I am not telling you this to glorify myself by any means but I wanted to explain that I had a purpose for making the community but first making the forum.

Within the disability community umbrella, we cover autism as well. However, if you would like your own Community and there are enough people that would prefer it I will have a key for you on your behalf. I know who to reach out to.

I sincerely hope that you were able to get some sleep I know how frustrating it may be. I suffer from generalized anxiety so sometimes if I don't take medicine I have issues sleeping as well. Please reach out to me if you need to. Thank you for being here!
