Any discussion on politics has to start from a place of honesty when you are trying to convince someone. So if they say they hate DEI, say Diversity Equity and Inclusion, which one of those personally offends you? I have yet to have anyone actually answer, because it forces them to be honest.

Were you referred by another doctor because if so they may have the records too

I feel very called out by this

Glad to help

Of course I would, you just described 90% of programmers i know

I'm autistic and I hate Nazis. Pass it on.

Happy to help

...and did a like 400 question questionnaire, then they took all the information and compiled a report and sent it back to my gp, who then referred me to a psychiatric service to get adhd meds.

...went to another room where they put me through a battery of tests like arranging blocks in certain patterns, defining words, giving me a series of numbers and having me repeat them back (in the order they gave them, from lowest to highest, in reverse order), then I went back to the computer...

Probably a thread, I went to my GP who referred me to a psychologist, the psychologist did an intake appt then had me come back and do the test which was broken into segments, the first segment was sitting at a computer and hitting space whenever a letter came up except for the letter x, then I...

I'm 38 and just got my diagnosis, the doctor that referred me and the doctor that diagnosed me both made me feel comfortable about the whole thing, the only issue I had was with the NP that is prescribing my Adderall and I still got the prescription

I put a smart lightbulb in my big light so I can keep it set at 20%, its been a lifesaver

haunted by the generational curse that afflicts my bloodline (autism and adhd)

Adderall is what they started me with, is that abnormal?

When I first started looking into a dx I talked with several doctors I would say I think I'm Autistic, they all without fail gave some variation of "Yeah, probably, I could see that, but why do YOU think you are?"

Have you tried over the ear headphones?

I can't speak about POTS, I don't think...., but for the AuDHD crowd I actually do have advice and that is to find a job that fits you well, I work 3rd shift IT help desk WFH, I make my environment how I want it to be, play games between calls or read about my spins and I like day sleeping.

I got my anxiety and adhd diagnosis at the same time but because they were sending me to a separate doctor for the adhd meds I was on anxiety meds for like a month and it kicked the adhd into overdrive, like the anxiety was cancelling out some of the adhd.

We stopped with the tree, we don't wrap presents anymore, we take all the kids presents and we put them in a big sack and let them dig in

Trying to study while working and cant figure out why my focus has completely left me, I finally got focus and now its gone, this is terrible. The I realized I forgot to take my anti-goblin pill

My meaning was that the word mainstream is subjective, under my viewpoint the number of awards indicates he's mainstream, I just don't know how you define it. I'm a very literal person.

I mean he has 22 Grammys, including 5 from the one that just passed, and a Pulitzer. Maybe you mean mainstream differently than I understand it.

You underestimate the strength of my Autism
