Do you also have to feeling MPH hides your sickness' symptom? When I'm sick, if I take Ritalin at 8AM I feel less sick between 9AM and 5PM. I wouldn't be surprized it has that effect, it's a stimulant and adrenalin does the same.

Vous avez aussi l'impression que le MPH masque les symptômes de vos maladies ? Quand je suis malade, so je prends de la ritaline à 8h, je me sens mieux de 9h à 17h. Ça serait pas surprenant, c'est un stimulant et l'adrénaline a le même effet.

Slightly bugged dwelling on #ADHD vs. #AuDHD, particularly with my experiences. I feel like a lot of non-medical #Autism resources lump ADHD symptoms and expereinces in with Autism ones, for good reason as a majority of Autis have ADHD, but now my impostor syndrome has gone "Oh I may be Autistic only" to "Oh I may be AuDHD" to "Oh I may be ADHD only" and it's really confusing!

@cferdinandi Good for you for quitting. For me, the prospect of finding a new job is such a huge Wall of Awful that I'm apt to stay in a toxic work environment until something explodes.

@mastomuckle I got phenomenally lucky, honestly.

Someone said that what a neurodivergent views as CONTEXT,
a neurotypical will usually view as an excuse,
and when I tell y'all this hits me SO HARD 😫

"You're just not working hard enough"
"You're just not paying close enough attention"
"You're just lazy"
"You're just not very thoughtful"
"You're just not respectful of other people's time"
"You're just selfish"
"...SO STOP MAKING EXCUSES!"

And all the while, I'm just trying to provide context on how I got from A to G

#ADHD / #AuDHD / #autism / #neurodivergent folks, plz compare:

In your experience, would UX from the 2nd link distract, overstimulate or bother you in a way that represents an #accessibility issue?

Note: I'm not the one proposing this, I'm not even affected. I ask for the sake of others; polling for statistical sample size.

@nekohayo Polls are hard. I choose "It would be a serious issue for me" but I think it's a wording that's a bit stronger than I'd choose myself. More like "It would be a real issue for me".

What would happen is that I would constantly lose focus as that URL changed which would trigger me and I'd get angry and annoyed. 😣

nekohayo,
@nekohayo@mastodon.social avatar

@mattiasb Yeah, I think using the world "real" would have caused more confusion than "serious", as anything can be said to be "real" by someone who perceives something, while "serious" is meant to clearly differentiate between an annoyance (still "real") vs something that "disrupts with consequences" levels of severity. i.e. Would it be considered harmful, or annoying, or not at all.
The characters (& choices) limit in polls makes it a bit hard to write things, but I think it's pretty balanced.

Any tips for someone with #ADHD sitting for hours to get a #tattoo? I'm a very fidgety person and my usual strategies for sitting still won't work.

@aleen for me, the pain plus focusing on tue actual needlework was enough, plus some small talk

I’ll tell you how much my fucks with me.

I need to finish putting together tomorrow’s show. I’ve already got it 75% in place, just need to find the last few tracks and put them in order. Easy.

But I can’t muster up the mental energy to do it, because I know that I have all day tomorrow. I love doing the show, I just can’t convince my brane of that.

So rather than do it tonight and have the whole day to whatever tomorrow, I’ll spend this evening worrying that I haven’t done it yet.

I am doing a survey about yoga and neurodivergent folk and your boosts would be appreciated.

If you are neurodivergent (self-realized or Dx'd, it's all good here), and fall under the vast ND umbrella, I'd love to hear from you. Quick 6-7 question survey and you can remain anon if you want.

Thank you!

This morning I (almost) invisibly mended hole in my stretch leggings

Just sewed a headband (out of a scuba material!! It's v stretchy and slippy and goes through an Overlocker like silk !? ) and made some Rock Cakes (currently in the oven).

This morning I prepped some French bread (currently proving), and now planning dinner..

Yesterday I struggled all day to watch a 15 min instructional video on youtube

Also TWO loads of laundry

Who the hell am I ?

I started and finished a graphic Novel and ran the dishwasher .. twice

My husband is presenting in an all-day virtual conference with other experts in the field, including Dr. Edward Hallowell, for an /ADHD audience.

He put his slide deck on Slides as required. Then technical glitches occurred (slides weren’t fully loading) during the test run. The IT person asked him if he was on a Mac (he is). According to the IT person, they have trouble with Mac users being able to run slideshows when there are multiple presenters.

It’s 2024. C’mon man. 🙄

"I do want GPs to be able to diagnose() — we're very skilled at applying a range of metrics and where we're not sure of the diagnosis, we're very good at referring up to a higher-level clinician," Dr Aust said. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-05-23/canbera-gps-want-to-diagnose-adhd/103875060
