I know everyone talks about things relevant to them. But honestly there needs to be better work done on carers allowance and benefit. It is encouraging people to stay at home completely who could actually work particularly those in higher income jobs. Adding limits of 18.5hrs AND net maximum earnings where the penalty of going one cent over is complete cancellation of the benefit is bizarre. It essentially makes (mostly) women dependent on the state and on their husband. Many would be able to do part hours while the cared for child is in school but my god the paperwork is insane
(I was having a wef wef issue but if anyone knows how to change my settings so I don’t need to pick the language on every comment I would appreciate the heads up!)
As the titles says. Lemmy.ml is currently down again, and apparently there are issues with the .ml domain they use being interfered with by the government of Mali. So anyway, I’m moving to lemmy.world, but this Ireland community already exists here. Is it cool if I post a few news articles here every evening, like I did on...
This is really a disgrace. 15 years since we lost a deposit for no reason as students. Older and wiser and own my own home now but to not have this properly coordinated at this stage is outrageous
For me (piano player/singer and dabble in others) it’s a quick dopamine hit. I struggled most with the ‘boring’ part of training but I hyperfocused through a lot of it and my teacher thankfully new that I needed motivation through that so instead of just learning my exam pieces and technical exercises I was playing pop songs as well that I could sing along with myself etc.
The point I quit lessons was second year college with a new teacher where I spent all year on two pieces. I nearly lost my mind and never went back to lessons.
Even today I struggle to get myself to the piano but I can lose myself for hours and forget to eat or go to the bathroom and just float along on the sea of sound and dopamine 😂
Food is different for me. When I first got diagnosed and medicated for ADHD I realised that I was ALWAYS hungry. Like always. I had never not been hungry in my life. I had been full/stuffed but hunger just does not work properly for me. Meds just suddenly made me recognise it. So I can eat my breakfast and not be craving food in ten minutes again.
Not a doctor but I reckon what I had thought was hunger was actually craving dopamine. So I was eating because I thought I was hungry and looking for the kick of sugary foods but I really just needed balanced dopamine levels
I saw one when I visited Kangaroo Island in Australia (an island on the south side) and for a second I thought it wasn’t real. They really are as blue as the picture.
As the mum of an Autistic and ADHD Child who has had no services for it this makes me so cross. We’ve had to go private for all diagnosis. His AON which legally was meant to be done in 3 months is currently standing at 20 months and waiting. The only service we’ve received help with was the primary care psychology we were...
In the late 1700s, Thomas Jefferson wanted the United States to adopt a unified system of measurement and saw the metric system as the best solution.

This was bugging me but actually the update over night seems to have fixed it for me op. The comment is now bouncing to above the keyboard instead of being hidden by it
For starters, I am self diagnosed. I have brought it up to my family doctor, therapist and psychiatrist a few times. Each time I was shut down because I either didn’t have problems with communication (or some other dated reasoning) or that there was no point to be diagnosed as an adult because there are no support systems for...
My son was diagnosed AuDHD in 2021. I have been diagnosed AuDHD this year. I went through the adult autism assessment first. I’m very high functioning (albeit a dated term). I adore research and learning so did well in school and I’m a teacher now. The structure suits me.
However I’m a massive masker. I’ve been dealing with and hiding anxiety, self esteem issues, terror around social stuff, need for routine etc and it all came out and was validated in my diagnosis. It’s been liberating
This one is interesting. I’m adult diagnosed and have a job/love learning. Not sure gifted is appropriate given my anxiety and executive function though
The Annotated Brothers Grimm Bicentennial Edition Edited by Maria Tatar Fairytales I’m loving it. I’m heading to Efteling later in the year and want to remind myself of all the stories
I wouldn’t fancy this version on kindle, not sure how it would work. The main stories are footnoted with the comments to the left and right of the text. I’m away for the next week but I’ll take a few pics when I’m back and share em!
