Taas vaihteeksi kun heräsin adhd pörinään, tuli mieleen mitä psykologi sanoi kun se minulla diagnosoitiin pari vuosikymmentä sitten. Silloin en vielä itse ollut perehtynyt tai tiennyt juuri mitään adhd:sta, aiheesta ei puhuttu näin avoimesti kuin nykyään. Sittemmin olen oppinut, että adhd on hyvin voimakas suvussani, diagnooseja on nuoremmilla monilla ja vanhemmilla polvilla vakaa epäilys, mutta eivät enää koe tarvetta tutkia.

Mutta siis psykologi selitti silloin, että adhd on jäänne ihmisen biologisesta historiasta.
Kun elämä oli raadollista ja rankkaa, luontoäiti totesi, että tarvitaan erikoisjoukkoja.
Tyyppejä jotka huomaa yksityiskohtia, on valppaampia ja energisempiä. Tyypejä jotka herää pienempäänkin poikkeamaan öisessä äänimaailmassa ja jotka analysoi ja reagoi tilanteisiin alitajuntaisesti ja nopeasti ja myös agressiivisemmin.

Yksinkertaistettuna, tehtiin vartijoita, sotureita ja metsästäjiä.

Oli toki puhetta negatiivisistakin puolista, jotks korostuvat nykyaikana koska yhteiskunta ei enää tarvitse tämmöistä. Onneksi kokoajan osataan kuitenkin ohjata erikoisuuksiamme hyötykäyttöön muuten. Mutta yhä meitä on paljon vankiloissa ja usein olemme miettineet suvun kesken, että on paljon vanhempien kasvatuksen ja puhtaan moukantuurin ansiota, että en ole yksi heistä. Potentiaalia olisi ollut.

      A couple of weeks ago I asked for help with eyedrops for my dry eyes due to meds. Even though the tips helped, using the eyedrops was so stressful and the dry eyes so overstimulating that I considered quitting the meds. But I have found a solution that works for me so I want to share it to hopefully help others.

      I found eye spray on Amazon. You spray it on your eyelids and keep them closed for a couple of minutes. Because the skin of your eyelids is so thin, it gets absorbed into your eyes. And it helps sooo much with the itching and the skin irritations. It’s still there but manageable.

      A bottle of eye spray and the box.

            :boosts_ok_gay: please boost! neurodivergence and sexuality/sensuality research (neurotypical and ace people welcome to participate) (not really lewd but it's about typically lewd topics) [SENSITIVE CONTENT]

            ok so, like probably a lot of people here, i have some fetishes and kinks, and i am neurodivergent (autistic)

            there's one specific fetish that i'm pretty much obsessed with, i practically always think about when having sexual thoughts, though funnily enough the subject of said fetish i don't like seeing or talking about when it's not in a sexual context (though i assume i wouldn't mind talking about it sexually if it's with someone i trust with it)

            i was thinking now just randomly and it hit me that maybe it could be a kind of hyperfixation or special interest bc i'm autistic. at least for me i'm pretty sure it is

            and it got me wondering if autistic/neurodivergent people are more likely to have fetishes or kinks, and if the presence of special interests or fixations or whatever could have an impact. there's most likely proper academic research on this already and i wanna look at it but i also wanna do some independent data collection for fun and to see what it's like in here

            so! i am now doing totally valid statistics research (i am not a professional). and i need help. please help me!

            ace people can answer too if they feel like it's valid for them to. some aces like kink or so i've heard so yea go for it

            yes i know being obsessed with a specific fetish or kink isn't necessarily an indication of a fixation or stuff but like if neurodivergent people are statistically more likely to be obsessed with fetishes i think there might be a correlation maybe. ofc that depends on how many people from each group respond. idk i'm not a statisticsiciologister or something

                    Mental health update - positive [SENSITIVE CONTENT]

                    At the age of 50 I'm just now getting on medicine for ADD. I've suspected I had this for years now. Both my boys are ADHD and, in learning more about it, my wife and I both have said "You know who else this sounds like, right?"

                    But if you were an A student in the 90s, no school issues, no real discipline problems, no one looked at you as possibly needing help.

                    That may sound bitter, but I promise I'm not upset. I get it. I didn't think I had anything going on, either. But I've also dealt with decades of thinking I just wasn't disciplined enough, driven enough, didn't care enough, etc. Turns out my brain was working against me.

                    Anyway, yesterday I went to church and just listened to the sermon, didn't even care about checking my phone or looking up a reference, or anything else I normally would do. No exaggeration to say I could have cried.

                    Apparently there's a way to shut down the constant noise in my head. Who knew?

                    And it gives me A LOT more sympathy for my boys.

                        But the cognitive load of having to keep track of things OOP otherwise encapsulates away always overwhelms me. Is this ? Am I just dumb and bad? Does anyone else feel like this?

                              Don't know why but my ADHD side will not shut up. A million thoughts about a myriad different things at once. My Autistic side is feeling overwhelmed just wants to sit in a room and literally do nothing but listen to the monotonous high pitched whine of his own tinnitus. It's too bright, too much noise, too much stimulation

                              My wife wants me to put up shelves and go to the shops and asking me about our September holidays and cooking dinner tonight and chatting about the weather and ... and... and...

                              She's also got the radio playing in the kitchen. She's hard of hearing so it is what I would call loud but she'd call a "sensible volume"

                              There's building work going on next door and a kids bbq with bouncy castle and music at the end of the street.

                              I feel like sealing myself away in a padded room until all the voices in my head shut up and until I can think straight. It literally feels like my brain is squirming in my skull.

                                              Back in 2020-2021, I interviewed autistic entrepreneurs for The Autistic Innovator autism blog once a month.

                                              So I want to do that again, just with sensory industry businesses only.

                                              The predators need to be replaced, but there is no one to replace them with. Our community taking over the sensory industry is their worst nightmare, and it’s a nightmare that needs to come true. I am asking to interview my new competitors, but maybe with my backing behind a sensory store, we can clean up the industry faster.

                                              I can’t even say take our industry back, because we’ve never had it in the first place, but we collectively need to take it from them.
