As a kid, I felt an unspoken connection to Spock in Star Trek. I didn’t know why—until my AuDHD diagnosis at 48. He’d been telling me all along: “There’s a place for you, even if you’re different.”

I cannot (or will not) watch videos on a computer.
That's what TVs are for. On my computer, I view text and still pictures only (on a hi-res screen
).
Is this just me (i.e. autistic awkwardness), or does anyone else feel the same?
8-year old: Mom, I wish I was more like you
Me: Yeah? In what way?
8-year old: You're so organized, and you're good with routine and… [lists several other hard-won #ADHD coping skills with which I still struggle mightily]
Me: I was NOT good at those things when I was 8. You can get better at it with practice. I'll help
Chciałabym wykorzystać tę platformę, aby podziękować osobie, dzięki której chusteczki higieniczne nie rozpadają się już w pralce na biały pył, wciąż widoczny z oddali na czarnej/ciemnej odzieży, a jednocześnie niemal z niej niezeskrobywalny.
Nie wiem kim jesteś, osobo, ale jesteś moją cichą bohaterką (gdyż mam graniczące z pewnością podejrzenie, że mężczyzna nigdy nie wpadłby na tak innowacyjny pomysł) i uratowałaś jeśli nie moje życie, to na pewno moje zdrowie psychiczne, i to nie jeden, nie dwa, i nawet nie tuzin razy.
Dziękuję i składam najgłębszy ukłon Twojemu geniuszowi.
Amen.
I just had the appoinemnt with Ariadna over th ephone to get a newer Medikinet prescription and told her the thing about the odd day here and there when the 40mg aren't enough and I can tell by 1pm.
She did offer to add instant release ones to add on top as far as I take them no later than 2pm. But she did say she does NOT recommend me to go that path becuase it's better to have a day with the pills not working at max, than risk the side effects of combining instant + modified release ones.
Interesting.
I declined the offer, will carry on with 40mg Medikinet since that odd day is getting rarer and rarer
My #ADHD stimulant, Methylphenidate feels weak as fuck in extreme heat like today.
30 mg usually give me that roller coaster speed boost in the morning. Not at 30+ Degrees Celsius and up. I just feel a little bit less tired.
Anybody else?
Here's another 'study suggests' article.
According to this "growing numbers are being diagnosed" - with ADHD - but also "the disorder is not becoming more common".
I have my shit together I just forgot where I put it.
"When you don't help disabled people live, their lives worsen. Water wettens; aridity dries. More news at 11."
"When you help disabled people live, their lives are better. Water makes things wet. More news at 11." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/crr2j792drro
It's less self-care and more [lack of] societal care, though.
So after feeling very frustrated & angry, I took the cats out for some sun (George on a lead) and then jumped on the exercise machine & started listening to this podcast. Even before they get to discussing sex, gender & sexuality, the discussion neurodivergence & the guest speaker’s neuro journey was excellent.
Great for anyone questioning their neuro type, gender, sexuality etc, or who knows someone who is. Parents & teachers would also benefit. The chances of having undiagnosed neurodivergent kids in a class who might also be dealing with gender/sexuality issues is pretty high.
Newly prescribed meds for people with #ADHD has been linked with significantly reduced risks of suicidal behaviours, substance misuse, traffic accidents and criminal behaviour

Studie aus der Kategorie: ja wer hätte denn mit sowas rechnen können?
Leuten, die Medis bekommen, geht es besser und sie machen weniger Scheiß mit Selbstmedikamentation.
(und ja ich weiß so Forschung ist auch wichtig, wenn ich sie manchmal etwas albern/offensichtlich finde)
The box says 40mg ritalin
I take two in the morning, and then I sleep another hour
And the only reason I don't keep sleeping after that, is my alarm going off in another room, again, forcing me out of bed to stop it, again, before the neighbors complain... (again)
The only thing coffee helps me with at this point, is to make sure I lose my shit before leaving the house
Literally, that is...
My post formatting is an incremental, Agile-inspired process.
Wait a minute...
Has anyone in this group ever heard of this?
I do but I never thought of it as part of ADHD's issues. And standing up and cleaning something (to do something physical) helps, which is why it is what I normally do. On MPX (and no coffee) it is rare for this to ever happen. Without meds is quite very common and I struggle to stay awake after ~3pm
