I remain amazed at my ability to misplace things. I swear I was just on a phone call, set down my phone and checked my email... and now I can't find my phone. It's not even a cluttered spot! I'm sitting at my kitchen table!

I’ve known I was autistic since my childhood, but I just got diagnosed with #ADHD so just starting to learn about it. This was fascinating.

The effects of rejection sensitivity over the course of a lifetime. A lifetime of being told what you’re doing wrong. A lifetime of being rejected and lacking relationships. A lifetime of avoiding anything that could cause more rejection and more pain.

I have had an idea,and now want to make a rocktopus.

An octopus made from a rock and attached items who looks like he is rocking out.

Will I do this? No, I have ADHD, by the time I found the bits I needed I would be trying to work out some other random idea.

But this is what my brain is currently engaged with. I am just sat here trying to work out how I will never do this.

It's some kinda hot garbage that "The World Federation of ADHD International Consensus Statement: 208 Evidence-based conclusions about the disorder" states: "ADHD is more common in males and occurs in 5.9 % of youth and 2.5 % of adults."

What, do you honestly think happens to #ADHD children? It's a chronic mental health condition that you don't like ... grow out of. All you're measuring in that data is that your measurement metrics suck and only capture the ADHD diagnosis of people who visibly struggle enough to not be able to build systems that survive school and capitalism (no matter how traumatic those systems may leave you). I'm always disappointed in the neurotypical and pathologizing medical community when it comes to giving a shit about marginalized people.

The worst #ableism is ableism masked as "ethics". It is very toxic, degrading, and damaging to an #autistic #adhd person.

Well, I did it!

I got my final module result and got a distinction, which means my degree offer should be a 1st!

I am so pleased. This is something I never truly believed I could do, but I have done it!! I have actually done it!!

Turns out I just needed the right support in place for my ADHD & autism.

I will get to graduate before I am 50!

I’ve been on Prohiper/Concerta (up to 20mg/day) for several months now and while I do see somewhat increased focus and productivity, I never get that mind blowing effect that people claim to have about life changing moments, the sudden quietness in your head, or that heightened sense of clarity.

Maybe I should ask for a boost?

Since December 2025, despite the wrath of predators for whistleblowing about safety I refused to shut down The Autistic Innovator®, because I felt like it had a greater purpose I just hadn’t reached yet. Now I know that purpose is wiping out dangerous products and predators in the sensory industry and giving our community the roadmap to replace them.

I have written a lot of articles, and an autobiography, over the last 6 years. This article I wrote today is the most important thing I have ever written.

It is a full step-by-step guide for us autistic, ADHD & neurodivergent adults to take over the sensory industry. How to design and manufacture chews the right way, how to manufacture spinner rings, how to curate fidget toys.

I am 41. I won’t be able to do this forever. Eventually my Essential Tremor will completely take over. So with this, I am passing the torch to other entrepreneurs in our community to take over our industry now, and pave the way for future generations to ensure predators never dominate the sensory market ever again.

A message for my fellow neurodivergents:

The latest update for my current special interest project, the Techne System for Foundational Skills, has just been put online. The topic is Psychology (Intermediate level). I bring this to your attention not just for its own sake, but because it includes an introduction to Neurodiversity, autism, ADHD and other neurotypes.

Now I'm sure many if not most of you already know all the stuff in this mere introductory overview, but I would very happy to hear your feedback on it. Is it accurate? Is it easily understood? Is there anything I should add, or leave out? The point of the program is that there is only so good one person can make it, so it's intended to improve through community feedback. For context this is aimed at a general audience.

And for everyone else that isn't as familiar with the material, I'd like your feedback too, and hopefully you'll learn something useful.

And this is only one subject out of 5 in the Psychology topic, not counting the Bare Essentials material. Or the other 22 topics in the program, in case you want to poke around. It's all free with no sign ups, subscriptions, or even tracking or cookies.

Here's a link directly to the Neurodiversity page:

There are many navigation tools for getting around the rest of the site.

I might need Fedi’s help with my garden. It’s a tinyyyy patio that’s completely overrun with weeds, and there's two bottomless planters filled with compost from the previous owners. It sees some morning sun but otherwise is shaded. I have no idea what to do with it!

Anything #solarpunk wins. Must be #ADHD friendly. EDIT: Here's a photo. It's in a sorry state. The wormery isn't in use!
