So no, there is no "#ADHD epidemic" or some bs, but content is made to fry peoples' brains...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wor_gxgDOyY&t=1272s

Like even the most #ADHD person I know wants to sit down and just enjoy good content and not just have background noise...
- Cuz that can be stimulating enough.

But then again #Netflix and others just want to have brainfried paypigs that never cancel their subscription so they can just pocket the subscription money...

Folks with #ADHD... what's your retry/failure rate when it comes to making tea? On average, how many times do you have reheat the water? Or number of mugs that went cold with the tea bag still in them.

I love tea, but it's so hard to make for me!!

...any wonder I'm completely disenchanted with technology?

Absolutely uninterested in GenAI.
Can't stand what's happened to search.

Feeling unmoored.

We went from precise web search with boolean operators to "natural language models" of AI search.

You can tell nuerodivergent, Autistic, ADHD, AuDHD, etc folks created the early internet...

...and you can tell that neurotypical folks are now leading the current overlays of the internet.

We used to have very precise search mechanisms. Specific words found in web pages with boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT, etc) to filter out the web pages that contained specific words and did not contain other words.

Now, we search for web sites (or don't even search for web sites, yay abstraction layers that separate us from actual raw information) using "natural language" to try and coax out info.

Have you ever been frustrated when you use very precise and direct language to communicate a specific idea with someone who then takes those specific words and adds obscure meaning and connotations and personal fears and bias to what you said... thus completely misunderstanding you... only to then try and clarify what you said with more precise language only to have that further degrade the conversation?!

Yeah. That's the internet with AI "search" now.

They took something that worked precisely and directly and muddied it.

We've introduced the "double-empathy problem" to web search.

I'm noticing that everyone in my circles, family, and especially work that are nuerotypical LOVE LOVE LOVE the new AI search mechanisms. They'll tell me exactly what the answer they received was - regardless of whether it's right or has multiple possible and conflicting answers. They just repeat what the AI said like it was the Gospel Truth.

And they love talking to it like it was a "real person."

It certainly takes my search parameters and adds its own interpretation to which I have to clarify and correct which is then misinterpreted further...

I haven't tried vibe coding, but I can only imagine the horror.

Can you imagine vibe pentesting with Claude / Mythos?!?!?!

You know how neurodivergent folks gravitated towards IT because it was precise?

Yeah, that's gone now.

I offer 20% off at my Etsy shop for all folks who find me through Mastodon. Code: MASTO20

https://brittbuilds3d.etsy.com

When you use the code, I'll also add a small extra fidget to your order as a thank you for your support.

You don't have to disclose who you are if you don't want to! When I see the code on the order, I'll know how you found me.

Here are a few examples of the custom fidget toys I craft for my store:

#ADHD #Autistic #AUDHD #SmallBusiness #Etsy #BrittBuilds3D #3DPrinting #Queer #Disabled
My business is Canadian , neurodiversity-friendly , and owned by a queer, disabled human.

Alt...

Kickflip Skateboard magnetic fidget toy, available in a variety of designs. Pictured is a hand holding a sugar skull skateboard design in front of a grey shelf on a white background. The shelf is holding the kickflip case, a ‘RIP’ and ‘FLIP’ skull fidget with coffin case, Hibiscus skateboard and a circuits skateboard.

Alt...

Rainbow colours keyboard clicker fidget with 4 different textured tops for sensory input. You can choose your own clicker and colours. These designs were inspired by the translucent Apple computers of the 2000’s. Pictured: Rainbow coloured fidget with white case on a blue background with other colours displayed behind (purple, pink, yellow, orange, blue)

Alt...

3 in 1 Spiky stim roller. These have clicker tops (choose your clicker type), and a real ball bearing installed so the top spins. The texture is spiky and can be used as a ‘pain stim’ or for general sensory input. It’s printed to be weighted so it feels heavy in your hand for additional grounding support. pictured on a white background: various shades of rainbow with black and white custom printed emoji keycaps.

Alt...

Pictured: trim-colour (RGB) rainbow ‘Ace’ playing card magnetic fidget. Background is white with red, gold and silver in the background. Also available: King and Joker cards in the same colours.

Context switching galore, your hypercurious mind is drawn to even the smallest details, your attention is all over the place, with too many mental tabs open.
Everything, everywhere, and all at once.

What's your go-to method for recalibrating yourself and getting out of this loop?

#neurodivergence #adhd #adhs #autism #mentaltools #mentalhealth

The worst part isn't even the burnout.
It’s the hope.

Every single time I genuinely believe "this one will stick". I buy the paid plan, I migrate all my data, I make it look nice. I feel like a new person.

Then the novelty dies. The dopamine disappears. And I'm left with another half-finished system I now feel guilty about abandoning.

I don’t even know how many tools I’m currently “using”. Probably 8–10.
Tasks in 3 places, notes in other 5 systems, files somewhere else.

I spend more time looking for things than actually doing them.

Infographic titled AuDHD illustrating the mental struggle of living with both. Shows a person in a hoodie at a desk, caught between the autistic need for routine and the ADHD drive for novelty. Lists traits for each and makes the point that trying to handle these opposite needs at once just leads to total burnout.

Found a life hack: Adjusting expectations #adhd

Hot take: PARA is a great concept with a hierarchy problem. And for autistic and ADHD brains, that problem is not minor. It is the reason most people abandon their Notion setup entirely.

Episode 2 of the SuperBrain series covers why I replaced PARA and what I built instead: a system designed specifically for the way neurodivergent brains actually work.

“We called ourself a Do-a racy: if somebody has an idea about what should happen, that's great. Are you willing to do it?

“Because anybody can have an idea. I have a thousand ideas a day.
But if you actually connect with your community, you're willing to set up the meeting, reserve the room, get the pizza, do the recruitment, run the agenda, do the follow-up, that’s what it looks like to actually build power”

Hi, I’m Rook. I’m a 30-something nerdy #trans vixen.

I’ve been doing #WebDevelopment, #programming, and #database stuff since I was a kit, and I'm still loving it.

Currently, I am recovering from #AutisticBurnout and dealing with multiple #ChronicIllnesses.

Previously, I worked with complex #automation and #robotics systems in #HealthCare, doing a mix of #UserSupport, #SystemAdmin, and #DataAnalysis.

At home, I’m constantly tinkering with #SmartHome projects using #HomeAssistant, building my own #electronics, and battling my #3DPrinting hardware.

I also enjoy running around as a big, silly #fox in the #Furry fandom. #Fursuiter

I’m #ActuallyAutistic, #AuDHD, and #ADHD. I’m a proud #transgender member of the #LGBTQIA #queer community,

My workflow in one diagram 📊
#adhd

I recently discovered that I might have ADHD.

Among other disruptions of my "reward system", I struggle to find activities and people I like.
The consequence is loneliness and isolation.

I used to think that this was anhedonia that coming along with my chronic depression, but I wonder if ADHD wouldn't be a better explanation?

Are there any other people with ADHD that have had similar experiences?
How did you overcome it?

Boosts welcome. <3

Actually it's not my Palm Vx (I just found it in another box) it's my Palm m505 I initially found.

And although my Vx and Ipaq seem quite dead.. a quick charge and it's still working XD

So, rather than tidying, im messing around with old tech. Talk about #ADHD self distraction!!

My brain has been brimming with writing ideas but I don't have any time to do any actual writing. (=_=) This feels like torture.

Must...finish...the comic book stuff.
And work on a commission.
*AGRESSIVELY IGNORES THE NEED TO WRITE*

Sidenote: This doesn't mean that I hate the other things I must and want to do. This just means I need to fight hyperfocus, and it sucks.

@autistics
Announcement: #Voxelibre multiplayer casual game today (Sat) for 4 hours in the late afternoon to evening (North America). That's in about 8 hours from now.

Voxelibre is a free and #OpenSource #Minecraft clone. More details here:
https://docs.autis.toque.im/

Damage has been turned off. People with #Autism, #ADHD or #AuDHD are invited.

I was tidying up my office today. #AuDHD style.

I take everything off the shelves, sort into piles all over every surface, cover the floor, trip over things going in and out, get overwhelmed at the mess, wait for my impulsive #ADHD side to give way to my #Autistic side. Take piles of like items, all DVD's, all CD's etc, store them in boxes, move boxes to logical locations (Tools in workshop, dvd/blu rays down by media player, craft stuff to craft room etc) put books back on shelf in order.. or at least attempt to as ADHD side gains dominance again and books end up on shelf "Where they'll fit!" Meaning math books next to Pratchett next to History next to bike maintenance next to cookbooks next to Lovecraft next to... ... you get the image XD

Desk is still covered, books everywhere, given up for today.

SO IT'S #Autism Awareness Month?

since am one of those #ActuallyAutistic people Dx at the tender age of 50 (yes, 50. and yes am older now, shut up), am not acquainted with the american rituals of national days or awareness months involving autism.

welp, let me do this as a gentle reminder:

1. BLACK
2. INDIGENOUS
3. PUERTO RICAN
4. CARIBBEAN
5. LATINOAMERICANES
6. WOMEN

can be #autistic too.

and in my case: #dyslexic with a sprinkling of good ol' extra spicy #ADHD.

but ironically, 🧵

Me: "I am so tired; I'll go to bed early."
Me, 2 a.m.: "Damn."
