Me: "It's after 3, let's get back to sleep."
My brain: "Yeah sleep's cool, but can you name all of the #Indoeuropean#language families and a few examples of each? You might need to explain that to someone sometime."
Me: "Sure! Well, there's Germanic (English, German, Dutch), Slavic (...."

Me: "Oh, and of course let's not forget the Celtic lang-- [looks at clock] -- I hate you, brain."
The way the autistic "narrow interests" part of my #AuDHD manifest itself is not in the learning department. It's in the motivational department. I have broad lexical knowledge but a narrow ability to perform, especially if sustained effort is needed.
I sound like an encyclopaedia but I need help in everyday life, which I have only started receiving a little bit of in the past year or so. It's just really hard for me to take care of myself, even if the consequences are very bad.
It's a challenge to find a viable career when you're so picky. I worked as a software developer for over a decade, but with repeated burnouts. They kept giving me projects that were too boring to stay motivated. I tried out ADHD drugs to compensate, but they made me unstable, so I had to quit those, and the industry itself.
I can pretend to function like a normal human for a few months while I'm still excited by the novelty of the situation (such as starting school or landing a new job), but once everyday life settles in, things start to get difficult due to the motivational issues.
I think it very important to quietly highlight some things I do despite my stupid #ADHD brain not wanting me to, as a kind reminder to myself that I’m not completely useless.
As a result, the single tiniest triumph in my day is when I take off my trainers by undoing the laces.
I didn’t do that for a couple of weeks, and noticed they were beginning to wear away at the heel. They cost me quite a lot, so I want them to last. So every day I put in a few seconds effort, and praise myself.
Is it something with the weather? Is it the pollen? I'm having a mare of a week for concentration. I can't focus on anything, flitting from one thing to another, forgetting things I should be doing. Coffee is not helping like it usually does. It doesn't help that I can't sit for a long time without stiffening up (still post op hip rep, but getting there). Also, the maddening tongue on tooth rubbing stim is back. Open to suggestions @actuallyadhd#ActuallyADHD#ADHD#neurodivergent
It has taken me two years to change my bio from "Neurodivergent, apparently" to just "Neurodivergent". Despite being open about my #ASD and #ADHD, the 'apparently' must have been a subconscious way of distancing myself from the diagnosis somehow.
Okay, I think I discovered today why my #ADHDisaster ass was feeling like my #ADHD meds weren't as effective...I forgot I was using my stockpile bottle that was over a year old 😅
While I'm sure the meds are okay if they are stored properly, I'd been taking this bottle with me in my bag to and fro and there is a very real chance it was expired.
Meanwhile, I took a dose from my new bottle earlier today...and, oh yeah, that's how that's supposed to feel when it works 😅😅😅
@bitfolk Yes, it's on #Ubuntu 18.04 32-bit. This is entirely my fault and not the fault of my hosting provider. I am a slacker. Here's another blog post which explains that.
Do you all get super thirsty, or am I an extra-special snowflake who just doesn't drink enough water in general and who is now feeling the compounding effects of more regularly focused work?
(This is a serious question; I know I don't drink enough water and I'm trying to work on that. The #ADHD meds seem to be exacerbating this because with the productivity comes long stretches of not getting up to grab a glass of water even though it's RIGHT THERE.)

It's kind-of like a klon: vol, tone, gain, can boost and/or add dirt.
Has a switch to add bass.
I'd say it's more creamy than fizzy in character.
I don't know where to put it yet... which pedal to take off the board, where to put it in the chain. #GearSquad#guitar#GuitarPedals#GAS
Still don't know where to put it. Replace a pedal or shoehorn it in?
The screamer has more mids, and the klone has much more boost, and each breaks up differently. Then there's the Spark boost at the end of the chain. I could replace that.
I'll need to play different guitars through it with the amp and other pedals set different ways.
I don't like choosing. This is why I have a messy room.
The hostility of governments towards tourists with ADHD who just want to take their medication is a true test of the effectiveness of that medication.
Within the EU, I must fill out a form with my pharmacist for them to file for each trip beyond Sverige’s border.
For my trip to Korea, I must download 2 Word docs from a website in Korean, submit a copy of my passport, flight information, notarized English translation of my Swedish prescription, and email it all 10 days before travel.
Update: Korea told me to “leave [my] narcotics at home” or “postpone [my] trip if cannot function without” because I submitted my application less than 10 work days in advance of my trip. There are 2 Korean holiday periods coming up I did not account for not being work days.
