CIRCLE WITH A DOT

Eight years of wedded bliss! 8️⃣‍️‍ I spent much of my youth withdrawn from the world and generally feeling lost. It was hard to imagine myself ever getting married. Since meeting my wife fourteen years ago, however, my life has been filled with happiness, love and adventure. She is the kindest person I have ever met. I am grateful for every day that we spend together, and I look forward to all that lies ahead ️#neurodivergent #adhd #AuDHD #anxiety #mentalhealth #love #neurospicy #ActuallyAutistic #wedding #anniversary

@stephaniepixie haha! If I’m entirely honest, my hands were swollen up like balloons that day so I was just like… “gloves it’ll be”

RE: https://mstdn.games/@britt/116269274253666028Thanks to the amazing humans who purchased some ZORBLES from me over the weekend and to all who shared my post. Not only does it help support my shop so I can continue making cool, innovative, high-quality fidgets — but it also helps with the Etsy algorithm so more people can find my shop. I see you and appreciate you immensely. #CanadianMade #BrittBuilds3D #ADHD #SmallBusiness

An die #adhd #adhs #audhs Bubble: Weil ich es hier grad damit hatte, wenn Euch mal wieder dauernd das Hirn wegfliegt, à la "oy ein Eichhörnchen" - mir hilft da meist, auf Nahrung aufzupassen u sie etwas umzustellen.Eier, Haferflocken, Vollkornbrot, Linsen, Walnüsse, Nüsse, Banane, dunkle Schoki, Kartoffeln und Zink mit Magnesium. Dauert aber 2-3 Tage, bis der Effekt eintritt.Hochdosiertes Zink 1x 50mg zuerst, dann geht es schneller. Tagesration liegt bei 25-50mg Zink. Nicht überdosieren. Magnesium verbessert die Aufnahme von Zink. Warum Zink? Reguliert den Dopaminhaushalt und die Kombi hilft beim Konzentrieren. Die Nahrungsmittel halten den Blutzucker stabil. Weisser Industriezucker und Cola o Energydrinks tun das Gegenteil. Besser ist Rohrohrzucker, frische Säfte, Tee. Durchaus Schwarztee. Bei mir hilft's. Good luck

@FibroJedi I can always see if it’s possible to get you something. Let me know, and I can try to see what my options are with the new legislation. I imagine sending over a small box every once in a while might be okay. Ty so much for your kind words, all the same.

@cassolotl Sam can have an outburst at any time anywhere. He doesn’t speak. But he speaks very loud when he’s vocal. He has only one volume. Loud. We joined the Wadsworth YMCA recently and Sam has been loud often in the pool. Thankfully, we haven’t broken any YMCA rules yet that I know. The staff has been fantastic trying to figure this young man out. Kind of like his mom, dad and sister.

ADHD meant constantly fighting for structure.Every productivity tool forced me into its boxes, rigid folders, fixed categories.Emacs Org Mode changed the game. I don't adapt to the tool; the tool adapts to me. No filing anxiety, just tags and capture. Finally, a system that works like my brain, so far#ADHD #Emacs #OrgMode #Productivity

"The 'Eternal Discipline' Assumption:We assume that a technical 'lockout' is sufficient to outsmart ADHD symptoms.Marc will simply comment out or bypass the lockout in the script when the dopamine pressure gets too high."Technology doesn't heal executive dysfunction."When the system becomes too rigid, the brain starts to hate and avoid it."That is #ADHD

@adhd_coffee I'm not ADHD! I'm not!! But it's noon and I am still in pyjamas and haven't finished looking up interesting things suggested by a quick look (just taking a quick look, really truly) at the day's reports. I shall stop soon. Really. Need tea.

Wondering if any #ActuallyAustistic or #ADHD people have ideas that I'm missing.My day job is supporting disabled university students. We have increasing numbers of autistic/ADHD students who are too anxious to attend classes. So they miss class 1, and then can't understand content of classes 2 onwards so get more anxious - and it spirals. It's HUGE uni, often 100+ in class. Most buildings are HUGE, with vile acoustics and visual stress - can't change those. We do have quiet/sensory spaces.

The 'therapies' offered to ND folk are to:- make us less inconvenient or upsetting to NTs.- make us functional work units and tax-payers.- reduce or stop the benefits we 'scrounge'.None of them are to help us with ... anything.#Autism#ADHD#AuDHD#neurodiversity#neurodivergence

The spoon theory has a blind spot for ADHDers, it assumes you can perceive the capacity daily.I can't. I've got everyday am 8am to 2pm 40 spoons existence, followed by a very long up to 8 or 9pm 10 spoons existence, followed by a whatever the time I go to sleep 50 spoons existence.But it's nice to know about it because not everybody is a delayed sleep phase statistical average ADHDer. In my case there are two winds, and I can make them both 50/50 spoons if I nap right in the middle of them. It's very interesting though https://neurodivergentinsights.com/the-neurodivergent-spoon-drawer-spoon-theory-for-adhders-and-autists/#ADHD #SpoonTheory@actuallyadhd

@maikel Interesting idea. I will give this some thought.

Ich sollte mich vielleicht wirklich mal testen lassen. Nicht, dass es was ändern würde, aber dann hätte ich wenigstens Gewissheit, ob ich es wirklich habe oder nicht. Ich erfülle doch recht viel, was damit zu tun hat, auch wenn es mich doch gar nicht wirklich stört.#ADHS #ADHD #ADD #ADShttps://www.youtube.com/shorts/ydgmN9XfP6M

I made a revaluation that my daily habits since childhood were merely either trauma responses or self-regulating habits. I subconsciously wanted comforting things amidst the sensory hellscapes that were my home and school life.#Actuallyautistic #adhd

@adelinej @autistics well, fuck

@adhd_coffee sometimes I like to think it would help if I could read the words in a consistent order.

@thoughtdesk Welcome, I think you'll love it here. You've been given good advice here already. I esp recommend following lots and lots of people and hashtags to start with. Find someone you are interested in and check out who they're following and also follow their followers. Prune out what doesn't excite you once your feed is well populated. And of course use #AltText to be inclusive and further your connections.

Experts are warning that far from being over-diagnosed, people with #ADHD are waiting too long for assessment, support and treatment.https://www.cam.ac.uk/research/news/no-evidence-adhd-is-being-over-diagnosed-say-experts
