It fits my workflow well because 1) I generally only type in English, and need to access special characters pretty seldom, and 2) it's vaguely similar enough to how the Option key was used on classic Macs (and maybe modern ones, I don't remember) to generate characters like á, è, ô, etc.

Man, Unicode made life so much easier. I actually remember drawing characters like ≅ by hand, pixel-by-pixel, and pasting them into my documents as in-line images when I was writing my geometry homework in high school. The fact that I did that crazy amount of Yak-shaving way back then, I wish someone had just said, "Kid, you might just have #ADHD!" XD

It's all different facets of the same wonky #ADHD diamond.

My hyperfocuses come at random, unpredictable times, and far too seldom.

My favorite is the brain-blizzards, which is like a manic event where EVERYTHING suddenly makes sense to you and you go a little bit berserk in euphoria because your brain just leveled up and UNDERSTOOD_THE_THING like never before. XD

This isn't an (always) accurate depiction of #ADHD, but it certainly has the vibe.

Happy #AdhdAwarenessDay

Edit: Somebody just made *me* aware that the correct day would have been the day before yesterday. As if I needed a reminder …

Every day all day I have five different browsers open on my computer, each with its own explicit purpose. Each has an array of tabs that come and go.

In my main browser I opened a second window for some focused work. That has now become a new collection of tabs.

What should I do with the first window, behind the new one?

Just got back from the nerve conduction test at the hospital.

I did some reading about them ahead of time to prepare myself, which helped alleviate my anxiety a bit.

The neurologist was also super friendly and accommodating. He explained the procedure in detail, what it would feel like, and told me if it was too much for me we could take a break at any time.

There was also a needle portion of the test I wasn't prepared for because I didn't read anything like that ahead of time. He suggested doing the most impactful areas first so if it feels like too much we could stop.

I completed the full test including four different needle spots. It was stressful, but I was feeling pretty good today and chose to do the whole thing.

That's the major shift for me. I _chose_ to do the whole thing, including the needles, because I felt okay to do that. I didn't force myself to do it despite every alarm bell going off in my head.

I definitely would've said no if I was already having a stressful and overwhelming day.

Our brain wakes up so backwardsly 😅

We were able to think that post before we could make our body move and about 90 to 100 mins before we were able to partially-boot our verbal speech centre 🤦‍♀️ (Does this does count as a verbal boot or verbal startup maybe, like the opposite to a verbal shutdown?)

Mostly communicated with wife this morning via non-verbal communication, as well as non-speech noises, followed by a little bit of basic speech once it finally loaded around 10:30-ish.

Due to both wife and us being AuDHDers, she started unintentionally mirroring our speech pattern without realising 🤭 Even after realising, she still found herself mirroring it back to us.

What's even odder for us is that the part of our brain that deals with song lyrics is seemingly quite separate to normal speech. As such, if we attempt to (poorly) sing song lyrics, or even process speech in the format of a song (like a parody), we can almost converse normally.

Brains are weird 🤣

Ich habe hart an der Traumakiste gerüttelt und mich beim Schulamt für eine Abschlussprüfung als extern lernende Person angemeldet.
Der Tag wird vermutlich eine einzige Panikattacke.
Alle Wege muss ich selbst finden und alleine gehen, nie einfach mal entspannt mit der Masse treiben lassen.
Vielleicht ist das Projekt in ein paar Wochen wieder auf Eis gelegt. Vielleicht schaffe ich es.
Meinen größten Gegner in der Sache habe ich auf jeden Fall immer dabei.
#AuDHD #actuallyautistic #adhd

Hey fellow lovely neurospicy fedi folks :FediverseSymbol:

What are some neurodivergent things that you wish more folks of all neurotypes knew more about? :AutismSymbol: :ADHD_Butterfly:

e.g.,

  • Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD)
    • Especially how pervasive and crippling it can be
  • Neurodivergent love languages
    • Especially penguin pebbling 🥺
  • It's actually common to have ADHD and be autistic (AuDHD)
    • A lot of girls and women are finding themselves to be AuDHD
  • Autism Speaks is an anti-autism hate organisation that promotes ABA (Applied Behavioral Analysis), which is basically autistic conversion therapy

etc.

ADDitude · New Insights Into Rejection Sensitive DysphoriaRejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD) is one manifestation of emotional dysregulation, a common but misunderstood and under-researched symptom of ADHD in adults. Individuals with RSD feel “unbearable” pain as a result of perceived or actual rejection, teasing, or criticism that is not alleviated with cognitive or dialectical behavior therapy.

Unbeknownst to me because I’m unfocused, I managed to completely forget to put my gabapentin in my pill sorter so for the past 3 days I’ve been completely free of it, I wondered why the skin stinging all over joint pain and pressure pain was back with a vengeance, not a flare per se just #adhd brain giving additional things to think about #chronicillness pain 🙃

I slept under a weighted blanket for the first time, and if this is an indication for future use, then this thing is a lifesaver.

I normally toss and tumble for hours, which is harder to deal with now that I’m not in my twenties anymore, but with the blanket, I didn’t.

Will report back after more nights.
