Hung out with a friend yesterday and he was able—ON THE SPOT—to ACCURATELY estimate how much time it would take us to go to thrift stores and eat lunch.
On-going issues with my current domain registrar have forced 5 years worth of personal internet projects out of action, and I might have to register a new domain with a new provider. I only have £1.05 in the bank. I hate asking for mutual aid, but this situation is causing me a great deal of stress and anxiety. These projects provide a sense of stability for me, and without that stability, my mental health issues are amplified significantly. Any amount you can give to help is greatly appreciated.
"Studies investigating autistic community research priorities indicate a mismatch between what #autism research focuses on and what #autistic people want to see researched."
On the unlikely chance this toot should present itself to #Australian#Writers, would you like to join an Aussie writer Discord? 🇦🇺 ✍️
We're planning a casual zoom chat next month, and an-in-person meet up for #Melbourne writers. It's also a good place to check who's going to cons in capital cities.
Some friends of mine who are on the neurodiverse spectrum (#ADD and/or #autistic) think I'm probably on the spectrum too. Their experience is that they get on better with people on the spectrum. They think that they like me is a strong indication.
What is your experience? Do autistic people have a "detector" for this characteristic?
Or is it really the case that you feel more comfortable with other neurodiverse people than with neurotypical people?
This behavior is like a broken record for me. Thankfully I usually find another hyperfixation pretty quickly, but I won't lie and say I don't wish I could just stick to 1 or 2 hobbies...😬
My limitless desire for information always gets hindered by my very limited memory.
There's nothing like the ADHD experience of going to google something and immediately forgetting what you were going to search so you have to look through your recent apps to find whatever triggered the thought, but then get distracted in the apps, then just rinse and repeat.😩
thank you #emacs for making my life more wonderful. The ability to edit the same document in different places whilst also having the headlines visible is so much more #spoon efficient. #OrgMode, indirect-buffers, multiple monitors support #accessibility for my limited #neurodiverse RAM so I can focus on writing for longer.
Is it just me, or does anyone else with ADHD die a little inside after you spend 10-15 minutes writing out an explanation of something to someone online, only for them to ignore the help and have your time wasted?
😬This happens constantly to me. I'm starting to think "I need help with this" posts, even though I can probably answer it in really good detail, I should probably ignore because I'd waste my time.🤦♂️
