Did you know there is a nearly 4 hour long documentary on Elon Musk and major social media platforms are not allowing it to be advertised? Makes me want to watch it even more.

Why Some Types of Meditation Didn’t Work for My ADHD Brain (And What Finally Did)
If Traditional Meditation Doesn't work for you, Read This - I Thought I Was Failing at Meditation. Turns Out, I Just Needed a Different Approach. A few years ago, when my grandfather passed away, I started to realize that over my lifetime I had developed a tendency to dissociate. This dissociation was a survival response I acquired when I was very young, because I was often stuck in inescapable situations that were uncomfortable at best (like being forced to ignore my sensory needs and physical signals of discomfort in my body in school), as well as environments and events that were overwhelming and too much for my young mind to handle (severely traumatic events I don't want to go into at this time).

The Autistic Burnout and Facing Backlash When We Step Back from The Traditional Workplace
Ten years ago, when I was newly diagnosed as Autistic, I was both mentally and physically unwell. I had burned out (or had been burned out) by an exploitative employer who treated me and my needs as a problem. According to my employer at the time, my needs were "unreasonable" because they were things "everyone in the company would like, and it wouldn't be fair to show me special treatment." I wanted to respond that "If everyone wants what I am asking for, then maybe your whole system sucks" (but, being newly identified, I hadn't found the confidence to do so yet)... so I kept my frustration to myself and quietly started looking for a new job.
