I decided to read the full #symptom list for #adhd. I have been #diagnosed since childhood, and tried some treatments, but the side effects were always too severe as I am allergic or sensitive to EVERYTHING. #Therapy and behavioral help is what helped me most in that way.
I realized I'd never actually read all the symptoms.
Then laughed when I thought "I feel personally attacked. I'm the guy they point to when they need an obvious example,".
“#Senator #TedCruz, What About My #Daughter’s #Tragic #Life Was ‘#Reasonable?’”
At twenty weeks’ #gestation, Halo was #diagnosed with #anencephaly, a #neuraltubedefect (#NTD) where the #brain fails to fully form. The #lifeexpectancy of #anencephalic #babies #postbirth is usually measured in hours.

How #Trans #Autistic #People Are Using #Joy as a Form of #Political #Resistance
#Trans people are 3 to 6 times more likely to be #diagnosed with #autism. #The19th interviewed 6 people who shared how #finding #joy as both #trans and #autistic individuals is deeply intertwined.

The #report by the #IndependentInvestigationsOffice said the #injured man — who has been #diagnosed with #Aspergers syndrome — was never actively resistant to #police but was “doggedly non-compliant.”
The hardest thing for me after I was formally #diagnosed as autistic was figuring out what kind of supports I could access and what a "reasonable" accommodation looked like. I remember wishing, as many #autistic people do, that I could simply see a few examples!
So today I want to share my student support document with you all! For context, I am a PhD student and so my accommodations are mostly written with that in mind, hence nothing about lectures or homework. I hope others can also chime in with any additional accommodations they receive!

My, oh my... It's almost so that I miss the heated "discussions" on
the bird site.
Everyone is so friendly in here!
Is it me? Am I the drama? I don't think I'm the drama?
So for my #introduction then.
A #swedish nerd with equally big a heart as a foul mouth. So my posts will be written in both #english and swedish.
A #parent of three and also live as a humble servant to three #cats. Married to my best friend for ten years.
This is one of my two accounts on here. This one being my personal and somewhat derailed on where I will continue to have the lovely discussions on topics that matter to me.
These are:
- All types of #crafts
like #plotter, #knitting, #fiberarts, #sewing and many others.
- #Neurodiversity as a mom of neurodivergent kids and me myself #diagnosed with a#dhd and #autism this subject both fun, educating and interesting to me.
- #Music! I do love just about anything that has to do with music.
- #Food and #culture! i wanna know your ways! Please teach me about your ways.
- #Tech and #IT. All the tech! I work with "this mess" at my day job. #Availability, #education and #statistics are my favorite subjects.
- #Equality and safe spaces for oppressed groups.
- #Gaming. The time is lacking but the ambition is great.
- #Reading. Nowadays mostly #audiobooks but I do read #smutty books with a straight face.
Well there are more things to say I'm sure but you get the picture!
Let's be friends!
And oh, my other account is a #Cricut account so you can find me here as well!
