I Love how the hse makes me send letters to receive a prescription four weeks later that half the time don’t get seen. What’s with the paper obsession? Why can’t you use email for that or some swift queue stuff? #lupus. I have #ADHD this letter sending is my personal hell
#introduction #adhd
I sew clothes and quilts.
I grow flowers and food.
I play with and make dollhouse miniatures occasionally.
I dance and DJ West coast swing, but am currently on hiatus.
I think nerdiness, curiosity, and passion for whatever fascinates you is beautiful and powerful. I'm especially into music and various other arts geekery, but I also just love learning in general.
I'm liberal AF. Despite all my rage, I strive to be kind - but don't mistake kindness for niceness.
Another useful app I’ve only started using recently but might be helpful to other neurospicy people is Goblin Tools.
It’s iOS only but the website version is free: https://goblin.tools/
It has several really useful tools to help with executive function but my favourite is the Magic Todo.
You type in any task and it breaks it down into manageable steps.
If any of those steps seem too much or you’re not sure where to start, you can break them down even further. #ADHD#ActuallyAutistic
Mon surnom ici est Selene (mon prénom est confidentiel)
Je suis biologiste et je fais plein de trucs compliqués et un peu (bcp) inutiles. Ici, j'essaie justement de penser à autre chose et de découvrir des nv personnes.
Sinon, j'ai commencé ma transition (Trans NB) depuis 2 ans. J'essaie de suivre les personnes LGBT ici, pour pouvoir partager nos expériences.
Je suis #ADHD et #TSA donc parfois je peux avoir des soucis de com.
An interesting article at Scientific American, about brain waves synching when people interact. It makes me wonder about those times that I have instantly "clicked" with someone, and the times when "clicking" has been impossible, as if our interaction were a case of grinding gears.
Also makes me think about how my clicking seems to happen most with #ActuallyAutistic and #ADHD people.
"Reconsider your course design." Louder for the folks in the back.
Rather than thinking of disabled students as the enemy creating more work, ask yourself how you can make your course more accessible from the start. How can you build in more support? What changes reduce the need for accommodations to begin with?
Hey, #ADHD or #Neurodivergent fam, do any of you ever feel like you have more side effects with longterm medication than other people you know? Or, if you aren't in any way neurodiverse, do you often/almost always experience some side effects on most longterm medications too? Either way, I'm very curious and I just want to figure this out because it's bugging me.
Saw something about dating/relationships for #Autistic / #ADHD / #AuDHD people & it got me thinking.
Do we have our own dating site/app? If not, why not?
We often face barriers when it comes to the kind of F2F scenarios where couples tend to meet, we have a higher % chance to have crossover with someone in terms of relationship needs & communication style if they’re also ND & we’re more likely to be direct/honest & not waste people’s time.
And no one would fake their hobbies/interests info 😊
👋 Hi, I am rokku, a 39+ old human in the #autistic and #adhd spectrum. As a person I behave as a #INTJ or #5w6. I don't use a #gender for me but I know there are a lot of them #agender#nonbinary. If you are talking to me, use no pronouns but my name.
I do #debian servers and #arch for my workstation. All other distros are bad, especially #ubuntu (yes i know its from debian but with ugly things in it)
My beloved languages are #perl, #raku and #nim. But I do much more of them like #cpp, #java, #python and what not. Currently, as an old grumpy human, I try to learn #nodejs (We hadn't this in the old days 😆)
I like #old#school things, how we did it in the past. I did not stay behind, but new things must proof themself.
I'm a former member of the pirate party germany (#Piratenpartei Deutschland). I was member of the Landesverband Bayern as a General Secretary and Treasurer. I am founder of the #Bezirksverband#Mittelfranken and also member of the board as a General Secretary.
When it comes to music, I love pop music and electronic music, especially when it gets experimental (SOPHIE and the PC Music collective literally rewired parts of my brain).
Otherwise I just enjoy regular club music and am always out dancing somewhere on weekends. Actually nightlife has helped me a lot build a community of likeminded people and is now an important part of my life and identity :heart_progress:
Here's a few words about some of my interests:
#history and #archaeology: recent history, renaissance, and ancient civilisations (Ancient Greece in particular)
#computerscience and #programming: I have to code a lot for my work, mostly in R and python, and I would like to learn C++

Three months ago, I released THIS out into the world! I’m proud of Late-Identified #AuDHD A Starter Workbook and myself. And guess what? I’m about 1/3 done with the large print paperback edition! #largeprint and studying the recording process for #audiobooks are my top non-fiction priorities this quarter. #audhd#adhd#autistic#autism#actuallyautistic
Thought I'd drop a little something. I'm Alex, I'm 32, live in Germany, and I'm a recently hatched neurodivergent transgirl working in tech.
Out to friends, not out at work. I also host a halfway successful niche podcast, not out there yet either.
I love to solve an interesting puzzle, nerd out over tabletop, board-, or video game design, adore good sci-fi, and have a strong sense for justice and a zero tolerance attitude on bigotry.
Run my own little vegan and intersectional discord server. Coziest place on Discord. :blobhaj_love:
Any other #ADHD folks have that problem where you become Incredibly Knowledgable when working on something, then forget all about it, and then have to re-research it all when you need to revisit the thing a few months / years later?
30 minutes of accounting work for the side business i did last year and i'm already exhausted. it's so boring. my #ADHD brain doesn't have the dopamine for this. i'm going to play bongos.
For folks in the US with noise sensitivities, you should be aware that this year we’ve seen an apparent record breaking amount of firework purchases in the country. I’m sure you’re hearing it already (as I have been).
You may want to be proactive with noise cancellation if you have headphones or ear plugs or something.

I use ChatGPT to brainstorm and Midjourney to collaborate on artwork. Now, I just have to find the right hormonal balance to work again.
