Too bad the dungeon master is unreliable

The image displays text on a white background, presented as a humorous comparison of phrasing. The first section contrasts "asking 'have you taken your meds?'" with the descriptors "condescending" and "rude." The second section presents "saying 'this potion will help you on your quest!'" followed by "exciting" and "makes mental health seem like a grand adventure."

@partim @darkphoenix And as I thought, due to #ADHD-related reasons, we missed that second train. We’ve now delayed the whole thing by an hour. I’ve updated the itinerary yet again at https://s.moof.space/trip20260204

This is a little painful. I’d timed that RB84 to go past the Großer Plöner See, a large lake that we take a train through and past an island, round about sunset. As it is… we probably won’t make it much past Kiel before the sun sets.

At least I’ll get to see the big train loop at Rendsburg during the light of day. Twice ;)

I hope we don’t have any further snags today.

OK, I'm clearly letting #ADHD get the better of me again, I'm jumping on projects left and right without abandon, time to slow down a bit. Don't want to end burned out again.

But it's all so {important,fun,cool,interesting}, I don't wanna not do it all!

Bounce, bounce, bounce.

Not only are workloads increasing, by hollowing out their junior ranks, businesses are putting themselves squarely in the path of a slow-burning demographic time bomb as seniors begin to retire in record numbers.

What exactly is the tech-industry's endgame here?

I don't know how it happened. I just accepted and committed to it 😂

I have just had occasion to use this sentence in a group chat and thought I would share my great wisdom with the assembled fediversians.

"I often use my shawl pin to wrap a blanket around my shoulders like a cape. Blanket cape superhero nonsense is a great way to get annoying tasks completed"

Then it isn't me doing the boring task, it is a superhero to the rescue and the novelty bumps my ADHD into action

Good take on the scientific misunderstanding of #ADHD https://thediagnosis.substack.com/p/a-generation-got-told-their-brains @actuallyadhd

ADHD people experience time in three categories: "NOW", "NOT NOW" and "EXPIRED"

“We Designed the Test. You Failed It. Somehow That Was Your Problem.

Here’s a dirty secret clinical psychologists don’t advertise: Our assessment tools are designed by neurotypical researchers measuring neurotypical outcomes.“

And this

“ Parents:

Your child isn’t broken. They have a brain that works differently. Some things will always be harder for them. Some things will be easier. Neither defines their worth or their future.

What helps: Structure without rigidity. Clear expectations with flexible execution. Recognizing that homework resistance might be neurological overwhelm, not laziness. Finding what they’re good at and building from there.“

#ADHD #TDAH

And this one.

“The world is not going to fully adapt to ADHD brains. Not because it shouldn’t, but because it won’t. Neurotypical people designed most systems, and those systems aren’t changing overnight. Meetings will still exist. Deadlines will still happen. Partners will still have needs that require consistent follow-through.

This creates a genuine ethical question: How much should the world accommodate neurodivergence, and how much should individuals with ADHD adapt to a world that wasn’t designed for them?

My clinical opinion: Both.

Nobody loves this answer. Too bad. It’s the right one.“

A tweet reads "I love when people say 'just relax.' Bestie I am neurodivergent. I don't relax, I simply shut down like a laptop that overheated."

Nice messenger chat with my 'boy'.
He had an ADHD assessment this week and reports a very positive outcome in feeling 'validated and seen' and now is getting medication to help him.
He says just a few days in, everything is 'clearer and easier, and productivity has shot up'.
Really happy for him.

Makes me feel like I should have a go at it myself now (as I'm probably responsible), but as I'm nearly sixty, mostly retired, and it doesn't really matter any more I'm not on the greasy pole, I think I might cope as I am and I have been.

I've been thinking about my Chiron placement which is Scorpio in 4th house (it's not 3rd actually). It feels devastating that my childhood trauma is described like this.
But I found this article about autism and astrology, and it's beautiful how the author discusses trauma, self-acceptance and healing as a neurodivergent person.

Hey, I'm curious, a vocabulary question for #ADHD #AuDHD

Do you use the terms procrastinate/procrastination or other terms when you talk about your struggles? (I'll add mine later)
