neurodivergence

A while ago I asked for your experiences of synesthesia and architecture, and while I sadly didn't get any responses, I thought I'd share the finished article anyway. If you still want to add your own thoughts, I'm more than happy to listen and potentially amend the article if that is what you want.

ADHD person here. And I’m just so drained from spending hours meticulously looking for (essentially) $20....

Such a huge amount of TV, and especially Movies, are geared towards a neurotypical audience....

Title not directed at anyone in particular, but rather me venting in general....

My wife showed me a TikTok last night of a woman talking about this app, and how useful she finds it. I've just installed it on my Mac, and yeah, it looks like it could be pretty helpful....

I use either comic sans, or similar fonts when writing the document and forget to change it all the coments are "reformat from comic sans". Using comic sans as its easier for my dyslexic brain to read.

Autism isn't something a person has, or a "shell" that a person is trapped inside. There's no normal child hidden behind the autism. Autism is a way of being. It is pervasive; it colors every experience, every sensation, perception, thought, emotion, and encounter, every aspect of existence. It is not possible to separate the...

Howdy, fellow ADHDers. How the bloody hell do you get ANYTHING done at work?...

I've had a 'passion' for programming for all my life, but recently I've been getting into a very, very emotional state over stuff like tooling and small things like that. The smallest things make me go off these days, and I feel so tired after every discussion. Feeling like I am in the wrong or that I don't know what I'm talking...

tl;dr I need to make a programming portfolio but I'm struggling with justifying it to my brain...

I had my first appointment today with a new provider - a nurse practitioner - at the third practice I've tried since getting diagnosed with ADHD in January. I'm kinda reeling from it, and I'm trying to make sense of my feelings, because idk if I'm just sensitive because I'm unmedicated for the third day in a row (didn't know if...

from 2022, but probably very relatable to many people (myself included)

I love being outside. I hate the sun. I also hate sunscreen....

ADHD and autism are both strongly correlated with justice sensitivity. If you need an explanation for what that is, here's a quote from this article:...

Triplett was known worldwide as “Case 1″ - the first person to be diagnosed with autism....

An awesome post with tons of super informative threads that I thought this community could get a lot of value from. I would hate for this info to be lost so I made sure to archive it and share it here in the Fediverse, enjoy! 😄

Thanks to the DEA’s massive overreach, for the third time in 5 or so months I’ve had to call a pharmacy outside my area to get my Concerta. My regular pharmacy gave me what they had, which I’m grateful for, but that left me short 7 pills. I then had to:...

this is a pretty short piece from about a decade ago, which leads with:...

Hey folks!...

(i'll also crosspost this one in !lgbtq_plus, since i'm not sure how much overlap our two communities currently have)

Do you ever miss your refill appointments, like, almost every time? I've been conserving my Adderall since the shortage started - I've only gotten one refill in the past six months, and I've also missed every refill appointment in that time. I'm throwing money away for fees to reschedule appointments ... for a medication that...

Hi, so I've been wandering this all my life, but how do others get the energy to finish and do things?...

I've used https://reddit.com/r/cptsd as a support group for awhile. It never felt right to post such sensitive discussions onto a platform controlled by a tech company trying to monetize its content, so I was really happy when things like Lemmy began taking off. In my opinion, support communities belong in user-owned spaces like...
