„ein Buch voller unschuldig lächelnder, tatsächlich aber eiskalter Pseudo-Menschenfreundlichkeit, in der die traumatisierende Abschiebung als Abenteuer und Chance auf einen Neuanfang verkauft wird.“ Ein Kommentar zu diesem Machwerk. netzpolitik.org/2025/frontex...

5) (Probably more important points to consider.)

¹: {neurodivergent/neurodivergency} as a placeholder for many brain variants like autism, ADHD, AuDHD, bipolar disorder, dyslexia, Tourette syndrome and others.
3.) How high is the risc for a burnout (again) if I hide/downplay my {neurodivergency}¹?
4.) How do I make a living (and survive!) in this capitalist world?
Some factors should be considered:
1.) Will I work for or w/ a company/entity where my {neurodivergency}¹ is constantly triggered and where I have to mask all the time to stay under the radar?
2.) Do I really need to work in this area or for this particular company? Are there alternatives?
Still recovering.
While figuring out what my future path will be, I have decided to be absolute transparent about my AuDHD.
But my decision is probably not recommended for every other {neurodivergent}¹ individuum.
I think there is no right answer b/c we Autists/ADHD/AuDHD are very different, incl. all the other factors that play into this question.
I run into a massive #AuDHD #burnout after 30+ yrs. in the «creative»/design business and 13 yrs. in the last company I worked as a UX Specialist.
«Is it wrong to not disclose my rather apparent #autism on a #job application? I don’t want to lie, but I also don’t want to tank my chances. Do I risk #discrimination? Or hide the fact that I might #struggle later? What’s the right answer?»
–Someone somewhere (but not me)
Let's see what surprises the rest of the day has in store.
#AuDHD with more emphasis to #Autism and #ADHD lurking in the shadows the last days.
But #recovery from the exhausting but interesting last two days, especially yesterdays exhibition visit – Nan Goldin’s
«This will not end well», incl. a little #meltdown – successfully progressed by cooking, music, movies and sleeping and almost no human interaction … at least partly.
The attempt to work things off has been running with moderate success since 4:50 pm today: not important/time-important 29 % ... really time-important approx. 1 % ... other paths and detours 70 %.

Ps. I’m still not done w/ the taxes.
After +/- 40 years I watched one of my favorite movies when I was young … and it clicked so many times during this movie that it needed just a small nudge¹ to write «Thanks for the Evening»².

A black and white photograph shows a row of various pills neatly arranged on a wooden table. In the background, an iPad displays a scene from the television show «Will Trent». Headphones and other items are also visible in the background on the table.
Preparing the next two weeks while enjoying the new season of «Will Trent». There are worse ways avoiding doing the taxes. Today’s second half of the day my #ADHD ruled over my #autism like a dictator. Not tolerating any deviations.

Okay, who do I need to f*ck to get medical science to research Nuciferine (as it does exist in Nymphaea Alba) for #autism and #AuDHD, due to its (mental) relaxation properties? I can only speak for myself and this needs studies! Vaping "white lotus" really improves my quality of life!

A wooden serving tray features a black cast iron teapot, a filled glass of amber colored tea, a small golden spoon, and a wooden round container with a lid and a small wooden spoon embedded. A Matchbox, a black flag with the hebrew letter א , below the word «ALEPHISTA», as a logo print on the matchbox, is also visible on the bottom right of the tray. The background is a light wood surface.
Tea time.
And then?
Back to the tax returns. Still not done. And it will take a tribute.

… incl. finding the right font, setting the labels in InDesign, printing them, cutting them and punching 192 (!) rounded corners … and all that after midnight after having a nice day (on the edges of 1.000 #meltdowns).
A collection of various labels arranged on a dark surface, including terms like «FINANZAMT,» «DISABILITY,» and «KRANKENHAUS.» A rounded corner punching tool, a box cutter, and a pen are also visible. The image is in black and white.
Doing the taxes the #AuDHD way: more than last minute (too late) and more than 1 year (3) and starting by developing a filing system …

A blurred stage with a banner projection titled «How to Build a Truth Engine – a film by Friedrich Moser», produced by George Clooney and Grant Heslov. The background features a minimalistic design with horizontal drapes, and a monitor is in the foreground. The image is in black and white.
An indoor discussion panel featuring three speakers: a woman (Dr. Clara Iglesias Keller) speaking while holding notes, a man (Jan Philipp Albrecht) in a light suit listening, and another man (Friedrich Moser) in a dark jacket and glasses. A screen in the background displays the names of the panel participants. The image is in black and white.
Watched «How to Build a Truth Engine» by Friedrich Moser at the Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung.
I really recommend this documentary.
Right now I follow the discussion on the stage w/ Dr. Clara Iglesias Keller and Friedrich Moser.

An absolute different and new experience b/c of my #ADHD (2023) and #Autism (2024) #Dx.
Being self aware about yourself hiding for 50 years your real identity #AuDHD … that's fascinating and surprising and sometimes frightening.
