I remember reading some people with CFS benefited from stimulant medication, the thing is with ME you get "post exertion malaise" and stimulants might make that so much worse by making you overexert yourself? So if long COVID is similar to ME? Important thing to research but also threading carefully

Celebrating our favourite te reo word, 'Aroreretini' coined by Māori educator/linguist Keri Opai as a non-judgemental way of describing #ADHD; it translates to "attention goes to many things". This empowering term embraces the curiosity, creativity & strength from having attention in many places.

We lost Steve Silberman on this day, 2 years ago. His death hit our entire community hard, because Steve showed autistic people as fully formed humans with rights and delights and happiness and love, with people who loved them, and whom they loved right back. thinkingautismguide.com/2026/01/abou...

I can't remember where I read it unfortunately, but someone said the fastest way to tell if writing is AI is by looking at the volume of the output of the author, and so it's fitting that this took me fecking ages.

Yes! One of the less visible effects is friend making.. kids with ADHD seem to make and keep friends with medication, and that seems more important to me than the proverbial "sitting still in class" that cynics are obsessed with

It's very different outside the US. It's very difficult to get an assessment, let alone diagnosed and even if you are diagnosed there are no services provided and almost no protections associated.

I don't know. I wish informed consent was the model for stimulant medication so people had other options. I do strongly believe vape is much better than tobacco though.

Another correlation is that people with ADHD often struggle with maintaining friendships. Social media hijacks loneliness, it is *almost* like having a conversation making a connection, and it is hard to stop something that almost works.

I do remember reading a study on stimulant abuse that did find the people using them without prescription them were much more likely to have ADHD traits than the general public

I'm writing a blog post about why therapists shouldn't be using AI. The whole thing is so genuinely dystopian it's hard to talk about it in a way that won't seem unhinged to people who are very offline and haven't heard much about the dangers and drawbacks.

If you know what it's like to really suffer with the heat, how it feels, how it makes it hard to think, to do things, and makes you irritable.. Think of that as sensory overload of your temperature sense And imagine getting that on a regular basis with some or all of your other senses #heatwave

I haven't read "the body remembers", but I've seen it on people's book shelves a lot, and it was published in 2000. Maybe that's where it stems from?

There's potential for very dangerous complications and haven't heard any credible hypothesis for how being injected with stem cells could help, let alone injecting then into the bloodstream and assuming the body will know where to send them and what to do with them!

If I force myself through hell I'll come out the other side neurotypical. It's a presentation of classic internalized abelism now that I think of it. We were taught that not using accommodations would make us stronger (the opposite is true). For some of us this extended to not using our strengths

So, I wrote this app to help with #decisionFatigue / #decisionParalysis / #ADHD. You give it a to-do list, and it randomly selects a task for you. It only gives you one task at a time, and you have to finish that before it gives you a new one. Android version: play.google.com/store/apps/d...

The main screen of the app, with the message "There's something for you to do. Ready to go?" and a big red button that says "OK, I'M READY"

The main screen of the app, with the message "Do your laundry" and a big red button the says, "DONE"

The Edit Task screen, with a field for description and priority, as well as optional controls for repeat scheduling and dependency on other tasks.

The View tasks screen, showing a list of tasks, along with their current status. A row of buttons at the bottom are labeled "REQUEUE", "DELETE", "ADD", "HOME".

I see coaches saying over and over again that therapists only work with the past, or focus on the past... No. This is profoundly incorrect. I have no idea where this comes from or why it is repeated practically every time a coach explains the difference between coaching and therapy?
