I know people with estrogen have said their ADHD gets worse during perimenopause/menopause, but I'm wondering if people with testosterone 50+ also notice their Autism/ADHD symptoms getting worse. Especially more "inattentive"/stuck in their thoughts.

I feel like we really need more research on all of this.

If you live in the UK and have ADHD, please take a look at Dr Dyi Dieuwertje Huijg's survey, "ADHD Women: Resisting a Neuronormative World."

Dyi has ADHD herself, and she's one of the few folks I've encountered researching ADHD with ADHD.

Please share with those who may be interested!

I read ADHD—A Lifelong Struggle today. It’s the best thing I’ve read on ADHD so far. Its advice is grounded in experience and applies to everyone: those who think ADHD is a crock or, worse, an excuse, those who suffer from it, and those who have family members or friends who suffer from it.

"Neurodiversity and the Myth of Normal" by Kyler Shumway, Daniel Wendler, The Great Courses on Audible. https://www.audible.co.uk/pd/B0CVBK3QVB?source_code=ASSOR150021921000R

Really nice introduction to Neurodiversity. Shame it is locked into Amazon/Audible as it would be great to share

So happy I took the time to learn #Dataview. It's going to be revolutionary for my vault. It'll help me create main topic pages to keep track of my notes. I used to manually link every note to a "MOC" but I kept forgetting and found it tedious. This is going to be a "leave it and let grow" thing, and it suits my #ADHD brain immensely lol.
And how great it is that the
#Obsidian anticipated our annoyance with YAML and come up with the properties feature? Genius.

I had a Rockstar energy drink, coffee, and a small Red Bull can, and it made me so sleepy I passed out for 14 minutes and woke up feeling like I slept an hour.

Energy drinks are supposed to make me functional, not take a nap after 240mg energy drink caffeine + whatever 4oz coffee is.

Damn ADHD lol.

Energy drinks do this to anyone else?

Someone needs to write an videogame called "Dopamine Farming" where you have a stable job and a great life and all of a sudden DONT care about anything in the world and start planning things around the dopamine they will produce so you can get through the day, like, "Time for a haircut! I don't need one that badly, but that's fifteen dopamine points, so I'll take it!"

Lemme get this straight, helped themselves to $80 out of my account every month for several months while I dealt with undiagnosed with no help from them (kinda hard to get treatment when you have to initiate all of the communication and you have raging ADHD). The US FTC sued them and all I get back is $9.70?

Good grief.

OH SNAP, they got sued for selling customer's data TO FACEBOOK. WOW! WHAT A PARAGON OF VIRTUE.

Yes “Treering,” I’m sure you think it’s important to remind us to order yearbooks for a school my son hasn’t been at for two years. But I literally loathe the principal, who kept ignoring my son’s , so much I’ll just block you, laugh, and vent some.

My current world order, where my morning and overnight schedule has largely shifted to accommodate a crazy early start to get kiddo ready for alternate school pickup, has resulted in my not being up as late at night as I used to be.

What I’ve realized is this seriously impacts my productivity. I’m way more productive at quiet times in mg day, and now my working time is constrained to when others are around. This sucks.

Bei ADHS (ADS) handelt es sich meiner Meinung nach nicht um eine Krankheit.

Viele Mediziner sehen das anders.

Bin selbst betroffen und sehe das folgendermaßen:

ADHS muss und kann nicht geheilt werden.

Viele von uns leiden und brauchen Unterstützung und Behandlung - Teilweise mit Medikamenten (mit denen ich gute Erfahrngen gemacht habe).

Das allwichtigste ist jedoch, dass die bekackte Diskriminierung aufhört.

Super frustrating day. My totally flatlined. You could have handed me a winning powerball lottery ticket and I wouldn't have flinched.

I guess I need to call up the psychiatrist again.

fun. :P

Adding "Set up regular Jitsi Meet conference calls for people on Mastodon" to my to-do list, because that sounds like a good idea to me.

Just need to pick a weekly time that works for the maximum number of people in the maximum number of timezones...

What to do if you're 40 and you've realised you can't stand office work at all because you have , but the only job experience you have is 13 years of being a software engineer?

Add to that the constraint that you can't go to school to re-educate yourself because school is just office work you don't get paid for?

What kind of job can you even get in that situation? I've been thinking about that for 4 years now and I don't have any good answers. 🤷‍♂️

EDIT: I did not respond well to medical ADHD treatment. Bad side effects. Many people get those, but it's not talked about much.
