Caffeine and THC. Go away with your prescription drugs!

What annoyes me more that the doubters are the clinics which wanna force you doing a therapy. But all you were asking for is a diagnosis.

That’s so accurate! And when you finally give in, you dial the number and hang up because you forgot all words and what’s even the topic.

Even ICD11 isn’t known here. All kinds of physicians still diagnose on the outdated ICD 10 catalog. “Autism spectrum? Never heard of! You have ADHD? Then you cannot have autism!” 🤦

In fact, the hospitals with an autism dept cannot diagnose ADHD and those with an ADHD ambulance cannot diagnose ASD.

And forget to ask about DSM. That’s even less known than ICD 11 here.

Psychiatrists out here still hold ASD for a schizoid disorder, like they missed out decades of research. It’s depressing.

At first, my anxieties became present to me, so I could work on them. Weed makes me think about my life, about things that bother me deep inside. It made me do further investigations. I had (to a point still have) to reprocess my life. It turned out, I’m traumatized because of people constantly refusing or bullying me in my past, because I never fitted in. And I had no clue, why.

I used to keep distance to people and be a loner, until recently. Weed broke up some of these habits. I got my feelings back, after I used to refuse showing any emotion.

I also learned, I have issues listening. I often changed my mind spontaneously without noticing - now I do notice and I learned to self-regulate better. I also didn’t know noise (the overwhelm of too many sounds or voices) overloads my senses, and that’s what triggers my aggressive behaviour or let me run away sometimes.

Since I started smoking, I do easier meet people who understand me. That’s also when someone at a party suggested I look 100% like having ADHD and I should do the test.

I also noticed another effect when microdosing at work: It helps me focus and it temporarily brings back the energy when being exhausted from work. (This depends on the strain, of course. Amnesia or White Widow work great here). However, this comes with the risk of burning myself out, so I do it only when necessary.

They usually show me the door out. But this is still better than doing all they would demand.

There are two things that really help(ed) me:

1. Starting to smoke weed daily, while moving to another city: It made me find out what has always beed wrong with me, and so I came to the diagnosis.

2. Writing everything down, in a way my brain understands. I use a project management app, called Logseq, for that.

That’s exactly my aim now. I overworked myself in past. Employers out here are living in the past, demanding 40h weeks. This really broke me several times with burnout depression. Now, in the job interviews, I tell them all that I will not work more than 35h, better: 32.

I had been masking all my life until recently. Now I tend to unmask, even in situations where people don’t tolerate my real self. Like in my recent job interviews. I learned it’s better to be weak m unfitting in the eyes of others, than bending myself. If they cannot handle me, they shall go away - I’m not dependent do them.

This one looks very promising to me. It’s probably exactly what I was looking for, for too long.

This is not the answer to your work flow, but I found a lightweight solution that works for my simple designs: OpenSCAD

The work flow here is to implement geometrical shapes within a few lines of code.

Exactly this. The cursive looks so unmotivated to me, while printed is easy to read.

3rd grade was apparently the only one where you didn’t have a teacher with an awful handwriting.

BTRFS works great across all my drives under Nobara. Same applues when I access these drives from Ubuntu.

Steam also has no issues in my case. Even wine works line Intended.

Indeed. 😅

Not necessarily, when it also grew a fur. xD

Mine turned green.

Good choice. But if you’re looking for something that really slaps, I recommend Jamin Nimjah. You’ll love his music.

I’ve been - to some degree - Kid A. I accomplished much by the help of doping (with substances) and anxiety of failing.

The price I had to pay came with several burnout depressions. I’m now 34 years and I decided to become Kid B - in favor to my own health.
