The image is from adhdbijvrouwen.nl which is a Dutch organisation supporting women with ADHD.

Most do not "grow out of it." Many adults only realise they have ADHD when their children are diagnosed and they recognise the same traits in themselves.

For many women, the reduction of oestrogen that happens in #perimenopause amplifies the issues, but doctors will put it down the "the change".

The image is funny, but the message is serious.

October is #ADHDAwarenessMonth
#ADHD is a real struggle for up to 8% of children and their parents.

The popular image is of hyperactive boys, but it is equally prevalent, and widely missed in girls.

My friend Gráinne has launched a new service for women that brings together coaching and styling to help boost confidence.

Worth checking out!

Have been inundated with "there is an issue with your gp health insurance" #scam calls to my mobile. I don't answer unknown numbers, but they are leaving their prerecorded messages on my voice mail.
I guess it makes a change from "your Revolut card has been charged..."!

#ADHD adults are being let down by the Irish Government.
As with all things, investment now will save money in the long term, as well as improving lives, but politicians won't look past the next election.
120,000 is an underestimate of the people impacted

Helsinki goes a full year without a traffic death A city traffic engineer credits the success to lower speed limits and smarter design.

“Helsinki has not recorded a single traffic fatality in the past 12 months, city and police officials confirmed this week.”

City engineer credits lower speed limits and smart design.

I agree. #Helsinki #VisionZero

Did they just run a k-means with k=4?

I think that, historically, it was all lumped under anxiety and treated as such - pop a pill. Not so useful when there is so much else going on.

The latest World Competitiveness Rankings are in. Ireland is judged the 7th most competitive economy in the world. We are among the top ten most competitive countries for the third year in a row. 🇮🇪🏅 Switzerland, Singapore & Hong Kong top the table.

'We're going to end up with a toxic goo lagoon': Environmental crisis in Wexford raised in Dáil The issue has been reported on since the 1980s, but no adequate action has been taken to halt the pollution.

The Dáil has been told of the ecological crisis at Our Lady's Island Lake in Co Wexford, with Taoiseach Micheál Martin pledging that action will be taken.

Roderic O'Gorman said the lake risks becoming a "toxic goo lagoon" if the Government does not act.

Nasa data reveals dramatic rise in intensity of weather events Extreme events such as floods and droughts are becoming more frequent, longer-lasting and more severe, study says

Nasa data reveal extreme events like floods and droughts are now
• Twice as frequent
• Longer-lasting
• More severe

Yet just when the world *really* needs to get its act together on climate collapse, it feels like we're ever more at the mercy of fools and madmen.

You know how much water one mature cow drinks per day?
Beef is universally consumed. AI, by any measure, is confined to a small number of people. Most people don't use ChatGPT most of the time, but they do eat burgers very regularly.

Beef is way overproduced and over consumed. It is a huge contributor to global emissions. If you want to cut emissions then cut beef - even chicken is better from that point of view. Feed the soy that you feed to cows to humans and it is almost carbon neutral.
AI is tiny in comparison.

Have you eaten a burger recently? Global beef production - including clearing the Amazon to grow soy to feed cattle - is way worse than data centres. Turn off all the AI and all those cows will still be belching methane.

Don't you just love when the bromance between the principles of two different social media platforms breaks up and then then it becomes,
"tell Elon I said this",
and,
"tell Donald I said that".

So sad.

Is ADHD just another part of the ASD spectrum? One that isn't a straight line, and could also include dyslexia and other brain development related disorders?

A vital new environmental campaign, SAVE OUR SPRAT, was recently launched to fight the industrial pillage of Bantry Bay's sprat population for fish farm feed.

This is what the very best of local communities coming together to fight for wild nature looks like.

Please follow and support them!! 🙏

It's been three years now of nothing by LLMs in every NLP conference (and a large chunk of the ML venues too).

LLMs are fascinating, but is there really nothing else worth researching in NLP anymore?

Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael MEPs vote to allow wolf culling and hunting in Europe The European Parliament voted to weaken wolves’ protected status.

Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael MEPs, representing one of the most biodiversity-wrecked nations on Earth, have voted to wage further war on nature across Europe, targeting wolves and gutting biodiversity protections.

After weeks of media attacks on #NetZero, we learn in one day that 1000 new jobs will be created at a second giga-factory in Sunderland, that plans for 4.7GW of offshore wind have been advanced by the Crown Estate, & Ed Miliband approves a 400MW solar farm.

Result? Zero column inches.
