I need a browser extension that closes sites like mastodon in the background if I have not looked at them in for few minutes, so I don't accidentally tab to them while doing other things and get sucked back into #ADHD-fuelled distraction.

I am looking into getting my child ADHD tested using https://adhdcertify.co.uk/ has anyone use them? what is your experience , even from a private aspect if not used adhd certify.

TIA

I've been feeling sad and empty still even during my energetic days. My recent mornings has been lethargic because I've been staying in bed thinking about what to do without getting up for over 15 to 30 mins.
Is my depression slowly getting worse...? Then I need to pause everything and get to the bottom of this emptiness.

This isn't an (always) accurate depiction of #ADHD, but it certainly has the vibe.

Happy #AdhdAwarenessDay

Neurodivergent people have always been there (we just weren't 'looking' before)

On why things like #Autism and #ADHD are not, and never have been, a modern 'trend' or recent phenomenon.

Some little additional things we thought we'd add before going up to bed:

• Guide for women who want an AuDHD diagnosis
  • Outlines as well how commonly women are misdiagnosed with BPD and OCD
• The many reasons why autism self-diagnosis is valid
• Am I gifted, or is it ADHD?

Some cool neurospicy creators we follow:

• ADHD Love
• Elyse Mysers
• Jeremy Andrew Davis
• Jessica Kellgren-Fozard
• Morgan Foley
• Olivia Lutfallah
• Rebecca Faith Quinn
• Rowan Ellis
• Stanzi
• theo
• Yo Samdy Sam

And a last thought:

• Neurospicy folks are more likely to be trans+ and/or queer
  • Discovering that in late 2019 led us down a whole rabbit hole 😅

There is a great short on double empathy here by Morgan Foley (AuDHD), as well as a longer video here.

Ich habe hart an der Traumakiste gerüttelt und mich beim Schulamt für eine Abschlussprüfung als extern lernende Person angemeldet.
Der Tag wird vermutlich eine einzige Panikattacke.
Alle Wege muss ich selbst finden und alleine gehen, nie einfach mal entspannt mit der Masse treiben lassen.
Vielleicht ist das Projekt in ein paar Wochen wieder auf Eis gelegt. Vielleicht schaffe ich es.
Meinen größten Gegner in der Sache habe ich auf jeden Fall immer dabei.

Hey fellow lovely neurospicy fedi folks

What are some neurodivergent things that you wish more folks of all neurotypes knew more about?

e.g.,

• Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD)
  • Especially how pervasive and crippling it can be
• Neurodivergent love languages
  • Especially penguin pebbling 🥺
• It's actually common to have ADHD and be autistic (AuDHD)
  • A lot of girls and women are finding themselves to be AuDHD
• Autism Speaks is an anti-autism hate organisation that promotes ABA (Applied Behavioral Analysis), which is basically autistic conversion therapy

etc.

"Impulsivity refers to the tendency to act quickly without fully considering the consequences, often leading to risky or inappropriate behavior. [...] Impulsivity is a complex trait that can affect decision-making, emotion regulation, and self-control.

"There are several types of impulsivity.

▪️*Motor impulsivity* involves acting without thinking, such as blurting out answers or interrupting others.

▪️*Attentional impulsivity* is characterized by difficulty staying focused and being easily distracted.

▪️*Choice impulsivity* refers to a preference for smaller immediate rewards over larger delayed ones, reflecting difficulty with delaying gratification.

▪️*Cognitive impulsivity* involves making decisions quickly without adequately processing available information."

So... it's not just me?

[
🧐definitely improving *cognitive*;
🙂*choice* is an ongoing challenge;
🤐*motor* is hit-or-miss;

🐿️ and look at so many squirrels - but... haven't seen as many chipmunks lately... might it be related to the heat?... look it up online... another browser update already? told it no more update nagging - is it time to switch browsers again?... which of them respect end users - at least as of today - amiright...

what was the question?

#ADHD cycle:

Wake up dazed
Take 'focus boost'
Add caffeine
Focus on the wrong thing
Crash at 3pm
Get zoomies at 10pm
Go to bed late
Repeat

Hey #ADHD friends, I could use your help. We're looking for tips and tricks that help with attending to school, homework, and similar things.

My kids have some side effects with stimulant medications that make them reluctant to increase dose. They've agreed to experiment with behavior changes that might help close the gap. Any tips, resources are helpful -- evidence-based gets bonus points.

The #ADHD urge to do everything, being unable to choose and ending up sitting on your phone instead.

Damn, I wrote almost 30,000 words this week. If you think those words were for:

The book deal I just signed
The proposal due next week
Any of my clinical documentation

You’d be wrong. It was for a random self publish project I’ve had in my brain for YEARS which has no pressing deadline and my brain decided it was the only thing that existed.
