Announcement: #Voxelibre multiplayer casual game today (Sat) for 4 hours in the late afternoon to evening (North America). That's in about 5 hours from now.

Creating minecart tracks (and of course minecart rides) will be a focus today, better linking up developed regions of the map.

Voxelibre is a free and #OpenSource crafting and mining voxel game, available in the #luanti game engine.

Damage has been turned off. People with #Autism, #ADHD or #AuDHD are invited. We also have a #Deltachat group for game-related discussion. More details here: https://

The medical community keeps finding links, declaring one causes the other, then eventually back tracks all while ignoring the probability that ADHD and gut symptoms aren't related directly but are both symptoms of Ehler's Danlos... But god forbid a doctor think of a zebra when they hear hoofbeats. Even there "myth" that cracking your knuckles leads to arthritis is busted without ever stopping to realize if you have EDS then your more likely to crack your knuckles (and other joints) and also have arthritis earlier than most.

Bottom line: Start researching "rare" diseases and you'll start finding a ton of interesting connections and help make countless lives better.

I'll get off my soapbox, sorry.

"People with ADHD had nearly double the odds of constipation, 58% higher odds of irritable bowel syndrome, and more than four times the odds of encopresis."

For years, I had a great shrink who devoutly believed, AFAIK, that #ADHD didn't exist, didn't matter, or didn't apply to me.
I'm still angry.

Please satisfy my curiosity, and maybe yours too, by answering this poll, and reposting for a bigger sample size? 🙏 Thanks! 😀

Do you think in words and/or pictures, or do you think in patterns, as I do, and many other autists too?

Way I'm starting to see #ADHD and #Autism isn't that they're disorders, they only appear that way because society has changed to privilege the people now called neurotypical while causing problems for the now neurodivergent. It's why a lot of people think neurodivergence is a new thing: Until society disordered itself to exclude us, it wasn't as such a big, visible problem.

Me: “Alright, I have *almost* figured out the correct stain formulation for these kitchen cabinets. Now I just need to figure out the finish procedure, how many coats, if I need to add a catalyst…”

My brain: “Oh good job, you! Mission accomplished! Time to switch gears and figure out the best way to do laundry, using science and chemistry!”

Need to rant today about neurotypicals.

The ambiguity, the information witholding is exhausting to me. How do they stand each other?

It is kind of crazy how over-stimulated we are in this era. I distinctly remember my childhood self having a more serene & calm state of mind. And that's saying something because as kids we're always learning, curious, playful and more aware of our surroundings.

I've been consciously trying to get back into reading in the recent past...in a way to combat this feeling to some extent (finished The seven deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle this week, wonderful book btw) 😊

I want to put it into more words. Has anyone reading also observed this in the past?

I would love to hear your thoughts.

Can anyone recommend sites or info on researching #EU member state’s laws, policies, and availability of #anxiety and #ADHD meds?

🧠⏰ I updated one of my favorite ADHD automations.

The original version used Alexa to announce upcoming calendar events.

Alexa has now been relieved of duty. 🫡

"Kiva" herätä kolmelta yöllä ja ahistua jostain teini-iän muistoista, kunnes nykytodellisuus alkaa tulla liian voimakkaina ärsykkeinä tajuntaan. Ei siinä, tiedän että tämä on vain ohimenevä aamuyön perinteinen ahdistus, ymmärtääkseni ihan yleinen ilmiö, mutta saisi edes imuroida, mutta koska kerrostalo.

Sitten taas toisinaan saattaa tulla sellaisia impulsiivisuuskohtauksia, jolloin lähden pariksi päivää seikkailemaan ja koti jää taakse. Kotiin on pakko palata, koska chilit juovat niin paljon, etteivät pärjää yksin - altakasteluruukut on kalliita.

Kukaan ei siedä minua, mutta joudun sietämään itseäni. Valitukseni jokapäiväisestä selviytymisestä on kuulema rasittavaa. En minä valita, kunhan sanon miten asiat ovat.

Mulla on listat kaikesta mitä pitäisi tehdä, mutta kaikki tekeminen on haastavaa, koska assosioin niin paljon, että väsyn nopeasti, siksi on hyvä, ettei tärkeät asiat unohdu, koska niistä on muistutukset. Pystyn hahmottamaan suuria kokonaisuuksia ja ajattelunikin on lähinnä visuaalista ilotulitusta.

Pakko tähän lisätä #skitsofrenia ja #erilaistumatonskitsofrenia -tägit vaikka termi itsessään ei kerro yhtään mitään, on vissiin natsien keksimä, haukkumasana ja leima, jolla saadaan leimaamisen ilosta määrättyä kemiallinen lobotomia, joka ei tähän maailmanaikaan haittaa yhtään /s. Todelliset syyt voivat olla myös #ADHD #PTSD #erityisherkkyys #autismi #vilkasmielikuvitus #ylivilkkaus #todellisuus #yksilensiylikäenpesän

Pahoittelen, jos loukkasin jollain, mutta tämä kertoi nyt minusta.

Totally came off as we were leaving.

Dinner wasn't wife's convoluted plan. Ended up at an all you can eat sushi place with a ton of rules. My #ADHD wife over ordered. The place has a $1 charge per piece not eaten. I hurt from eating 2.5 extra rolls.

Ever feel like you're just burnt out, or is it deeper? Knowing the diff is key for the right treatment. #MentalHealth #ADHD #Neurodivergent

Burnout is more about being overwhelmed by stress, while depression is a more persistent sadness. Both can hit hard, but identifying the cause helps find the cure!

Ever feel like you're the only one who sees the big picture, but everyone else thinks you're just lazy? 🤷‍♀️ #MentalHealth #ADHD #Neurodivergent

Executive dysfunction can make it hard to start tasks or switch gears, but it doesn't mean you're not capable. You just need a little more support and understanding. 🌟

I had some mildly high blood glucose readings at physicals over the last few years and a VERY high fasting reading just before surgery recently.

I do. not. want. #diabetes. I mean, nobody does, but I additionally hate the idea of giving myself shots. My BP spikes just from normal #medical checkups, let alone shots, blood draws or surgery

So I changed my #diet to get my insulin response normalized, obvs.

But as an #adhd #engineer I need immediate, real-time measurements of the thing I'm trying to control. So I got a #cgm (ironic for someone afraid of needles, but it honestly did not hurt and I barely notice it)

It's very interesting already. Although it's also confounded by the fact that I'm still recovering from surgery...

Got plans but can't seem to make them happen? It's not laziness, it's executive dysfunction. BrainJoos can help you track your patterns. 🧠✨

Alright, well I have spent enough time on an #adhd rabbit hole here on the fedi. I need to go be a quasi-productive human and feed myself.
