I miss not having to raw-dog life with ADHD. Wish my stupid body could handle stimulants again after Covid

#LongCovid #ADHD

@binarydiv I have about 15y worth of files mostly arranged into a folder hierarchy but recently I'm trying to name files and folders with tags because over time theres been more and more exceptions where things fit into more than one box I often find myself looking in 2 or 3 locations to find a file.

Some tags I find useful:

The ideology philosophy or system involved

What animal species is involved

The area of study involved

The name and time of the event involved

The Company/country(s)/organisation/people involved

The sector of the economy involved

The movie/tv/game/media involved

So for instance a screenshotted hot take or meme about ADHD might go under #Humans;#Psychology;#Ableism;#ADHD

and a report on the impact of boycotts for hogwarts legacy might be named #Gaming;#HarryPotter;#Boycott;#Trans;#JKRowling;#HogwartsLegacy

Zaprosiłam ludzi na warsztaty testowe, załatwiłam, że ludzie się dowiedzieli o warsztatach dla nauczycieli, wysłałam swój biogram, nadałam paczkę, napisałam dyplomatyczne podziękowanie, zrobiłam parę pierdół i nie tknęłam budżetu projektu, prezentacji na warsztaty ani porządkowania dużego projektu do oddania dyrektorce.

Myślę, że powinnam poprowadzić zajęcia pt. "Jak prokrastynować poprzez pracę i nadal wyglądać jak porządny pracownik"

【解決手機成癮的簡單方法 如果你一天會花10小時在這上面或許可以參考一下】

『方法很簡單，就是將手機「設定成黑白」模式，根據史丹佛大學的研究，螢幕的色彩資訊會使多巴胺分泌多達70%，所以只要切換成黑白的顯示畫面，那麼就能大幅降低手機使用時間，尤其 ADHD 患者大腦對於刺激較為敏感，所以消除了彩色的刺激之後，依賴程度就會大幅下降…』

There’s some useful information here, but….

Anything that describes neurodivergence as ‘linked to a chemical imbalance in the brain’ is a 🚩 for me. It tells me the analysis comes out of a mechanistic & medical framing of experience that sees difference as deficit & is often not grounded in evidence. It says ‘the doctor is the authority on your experience & if you don’t agree you are wrong’. Also flags that somewhere along the line, medication will be offered as the answer.

Many of us have learned to interpret our experience only through framings offered by medicine & psychology that see their own maps as truth & the concepts they use to navigate them as material, objective, verifiable things. Like every map these illuminate some aspects of our experience while obscuring others. Like all dodgy science they forget that their concepts are not things, but ‘tools to think with, until we find something better’.

Let’s start by meeting each other where we are in terms of making sense of our experiences, then expand our understanding by listening to how our peers describe what their neurodivergence is like, for them, from the inside. Listening helps us to be kinder to ourselves & each other.

Let’s be aware of the assumptions that reside in the framings we use to make sense of our stories, & learn to hold our concepts loosely so we can start to see the things our current maps don’t reveal.

We are each other’s greatest resource.

Autism: “This is my special interest. I will study it for 10 years.”

ADHD: “New hobby every week. Last week's hobby? Dead.”

Autism: “Deep expertise in one thing.”

ADHD: “Surface knowledge of 47 things.”

Living with both (AuDHD): “Expert-level knowledge about random topics you hyperfocused on for 3 months, then abandoned.”

@actuallyadhd @autistics

Really need to get to bed before midnight tonight, or I turn into a gremlin or something 🤷.

I need to start reclaiming my mornings as it would be nice to get to about lunch time & actually have accomplished some thing. Just simple things maybe but things like a bit of house cleaning, going for a walk, some reading & maybe a little bit of writing & drawing.

Maybe it could boost my confidence & make it possible to volunteer somewhere, even if the local volunteering options are only charity shop work.

Is #hyperfocus an autistic thing, or ADHD? I have both, and can't split them easily. So which is it, please? 🙏

You don't need AI to get info-dumped on, adopt a neurodivergent creature as a friend, today !

Question to all #IT workers who also have #adhd:

How do you keep track of all the things you did on a day/week, so you don't forget half of it when the next daily/weekly meeting takes place?

I don't write tickets for all the small tasks I work on, but then I forget what I did, come the next day. 🙈

I tried notes in simple text files, hand written notes, mini-kanban in a local docker container, but _nothing_ works, so far.

Boost highly appreciated!

This duck gets me. He really gets me. Great little video explaining #ADHD in a very accessible way. Also includes a section on #AuDHD.

“A new study published in Molecular Psychiatry reveals that the biological underpinnings of autism and ADHD may transcend traditional diagnostic boundaries. While there is increasing appreciation that ADHD and autism often co-occur, the underlying shared biological features have remained largely unknown. Researchers from the Child Mind Institute and collaborating institutions discovered that autism symptom severity, rather than diagnostic classification, corresponds to distinct patterns of brain connectivity and related gene expression in children diagnosed with either autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). This finding supports an evolving clinical and research landscape that aims to better define the roots of neurodevelopmental co-occurrences.”

Why do police officers and security guards have to be the ones to come to me when I'm in distress?! They shouldn't have any business in mental health. PERIOD. I've already been traumatized by them in the past...

Playing around a little with #Meshtastic this week with a couple of nodes, plus the portable card. 3D printed some cases too.

Cool stuff; flashing is easy, but it needs tuning for location, and I wonder how reliable it will ultimately be (it is usable). I'll probably look at getting #mqtt going on it with #OpenGarage on my existing #homeautomation setup.

#adhd brain is always thinking ahead. I wonder if I could do something with #ntfy as well 🤔

I was thinking about the phrase “twiddling one’s thumbs” and suddenly wondered - could this have been less a sign of boredom or idleness and actually a form of self-stimming for people with autism or ADHD that wasn’t recognized in those times?

@eazy Not just #RainMan. Also #BigBangTheory. Or #NapoleonDynamite. Or #Atypical. Or #HighPotential / #HPI . So many ways that #Autistic / #ADHD / #AuDHD folks have been represented in media. Not always accurate, not always positive.

A heartfelt plea, that is close to the heart of all who have *invisible* disabilities.
