BrilliantStay classy, community. 🤔

And now, the sub-community on the well-known video social platform is trending and so is the overall platform. Meanwhile, neurodivergent advocacy shown in all its glory.

Now, other content creators with clear motives to capitalize are copying and pasting canned responses all across threads to be relevent.

Popcorn moment. A segment of the neurodivergent community is mad at an author for communicating with readers in a sub-community book review group of a popular social video platform. 🧵

I love AI. I use it as a tool to aid my executive function. Gemini's integration with all of its tools has saved my life. I'm also interested in responses around your question. I'm fascinated by the topic. I agree, much of the research doesn't exactly show AI alone changes the brain to psychosis.

Matt Hanley @matthanley.bsky.social · 30/10/2025

I'm no expert, but there is a lot of research on taking substances while interacting with tech. It changes the brain through neuroplacticity. AI psychosis is not a far stretch based on that research. Mixing the influence of AI chat with alcohol or Marijuana can create psychosis.

Well, my mom never used Tylenol and I have not used Tylenol. So there is that. 🤷

Matt Hanley @matthanley.bsky.social · 05/09/2025

I look back at the unmedicated me reading through the entire LoTR series twice, and now the medicated me wonders how the hell that happened.

Matt Hanley @matthanley.bsky.social · 05/09/2025

Wait until you get your meds all straight, and something still doesn't seem right. Then you find there is a high-probability you are autistic. I speak from experience, of course.

Matt Hanley @matthanley.bsky.social · 13/07/2025

Yeah. #Trump is right. No one cares about #Epstein. This isn't about Epstein anymore. This is about the blatant cover up that was done all out in the open. His administration failed him. His people are seeing him for what he and his administration are.

I had a really good day. I overstimmed on the goodness. I'm in panic and heading to shut down. Yay, AuDHD and anxiety! There goes my Friday night! #ADHD #Autism #AuDHD #Anxiety

The thing I'm learning since understanding my autism a bit more the past six months is that energy management is important, but stimulation management is a must. 👍❤️ #autism #adhd #AuDHD

Matt Hanley @matthanley.bsky.social · 07/06/2025

I've had parents claim life would be much easier if their children were neurotypical. To me, that translates to a belief in less effort in parenting a neurotypical child. I argue that neurotypical children deserve the level of love, care, and respect given to any child. #ADHD #Autism #AuDHD

Matt Hanley @matthanley.bsky.social · 22/05/2025

As an AuDHD person with general anxiety, it's not so much about the challenges themselves. It's about how much mental and physical energy we expend uncontrollably on those challenges in relation to a neurotypical person. #spoons #facts #adhd #autism #anxiety

Matt Hanley @matthanley.bsky.social · 19/05/2025

People told me my whole life that things would get better. Things will fix themselves. You'll outgrow your ADHD. You'll meditate away your anxiety. Therapy will fix your spine injuries. Wait...surprise...you're autistic? It's a rude awakening to realize those beliefs were lies. #AuDHD #ADHD #Autism

Remember kids, don't take a dip in any sewage fed swimming holes this weekend.

There is a difference between meditation and mindfulness. That difference is I can't meditate, but I can practice mindfulness. 😆 #ADHD #Autism #AuDHD #Neurodivergent

Our U.S. government is arguing English Monarchy law as a reason federal district courts shouldn't hold the power of federal injunctions. In case you want to know how far back they want to go with Making America Great Again. Pre-colonial times. That's how far.

#Amazon and #Bezos were axed from the club when they were going to list the cost of #tariffs on items. I wonder what treatment #Walmart will get now.

Noise-cancelling anything is a life-saver for my #AuDHD. How did I not understand this even before diagnosis? #ADHD #Autism #AuDHD

Matt Hanley @matthanley.bsky.social · 28/04/2025

One of the cruelest things you can do is blame someone else for your lack of self-care when all they have is your best interest at heart. You turn them into a monster unwittingly and unfairly. For example, "I have to push through for my family, even if it kills me." It is just wrong. #ADHD #AuDHD

Matt Hanley @matthanley.bsky.social · 20/04/2025

I couldn't agree more. 💙 This is a much more susinct way to clap back at those "you don't look autistic" comments.

Matt Hanley @matthanley.bsky.social · 19/04/2025

If you're like my wife and me, it's your tradition to bring the decorated #eggs to #Easter with the #family. How many of you are taking out a small #loan to deal with the increased costs? 😂😭

Matt Hanley @matthanley.bsky.social · 19/04/2025

Ah, #measles. The #CDC has put a price tag on the cost of a single case of measles being between $30,000 - $50,000 on #insurers or the individual/family.

Matt Hanley @matthanley.bsky.social · 19/04/2025

Be real. Who's decorating and hiding #potatoes tomorrow for #Easter because of the price of #eggs? #WTF

The more power you consolidate into one branch of our government, the weaker it and our entire system becomes.

Matt Hanley @matthanley.bsky.social · 09/04/2025

I have not met an app that meets my ADHD needs yet. I need to keep things in front of my face to be effective. If an app makes you go back and forth between functions, like a calendar and to-do list, it becomes burdensome. Out of sight, out of mind. Multiscreen works better for me.

Matt Hanley @matthanley.bsky.social · 09/04/2025

You can't help others until you help yourself. There is so much truth there. 💙 #AuDHD #ADHD #Autism #Anxiety #Helper #Neurodivergent

AuDHD. Hmm. Who knew? I didn't. Some people around me had to know. Right? RIGHT!? #AuDHD #Autism #ADHD

Matt Hanley @matthanley.bsky.social · 05/04/2025

Rediagnosed as an adult with ADHD just over a year ago. Treating it for the first time in my life. I've been questioning other symptoms. Researched through some experts. Aspie quiz showed much atypical processing and 99% probability of neurodivergence. Two other tests - same. #AuDHD

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

I had to be convinced my organs weren't melting.

Matt Hanley @matthanley.bsky.social · 04/04/2025

If that freaks you out. Don't eat neon green or red frosting on baked goods. The next day on the toilet is horrific. 🤣

Matt Hanley @matthanley.bsky.social · 03/04/2025

Today, I started a GLP-1 injection. Research has shown for ADHDers that GLP-1 can help regulate hunger and fullness queues, which many of us lack or simply miss. The injections could help break that binge and restrict pattern, along with mindfulness, of course.

If you struggle with ADHD and eating like I do, pick up a copy of Rebecca King's new book "How to Eat Well for Adults with ADHD." I've been learning about how ADHD and eating work, or don't work, together. This is a great guide. #ADHD #Diet #Eating #Neurodivergence

As a formally diagnosed, life-long #ADHD person with strongly suspected #ASD, I want to join you all in embracing the strength and uniqueness we all possess this #AutismAwarenessMonth. ✊️💙

Starting day four off my #ADHD meds to see if they are causing side effects I'm dealing with. I'm struggling. I'd rather put up with some dizziness than these thought patterns. #AuDHD #Neurodivergent
