I’m on the tube for the 4th time in 5 years.
Yep. It’s terrible as ever. Yay for ear defenders and amazing friends supporting me with this stuff.

On my way into town for TechShare Pro. All bouncy cause I’m on the opening panel :)
I’m chatting about the little local running AI powered tools I’ve been building to help me with day to day neurodivergent life stuff.
Still skeptical of big tech AI stuff… the little local models are the good spot

Working on a tech spike for @ermiltd.bsky.social and finding it exceptionally satisfying.
It’s a puzzle… finding a process which avoids high risk things (storing secrets or sensitive data) while also keeping it fast, simple and affordable :)
I do love a fun puzzle :)

More tummy issues over the weekend but they are passing.
I need to be super super careful with food + food timing… or tummy goes wrong rapidly.
Beyond that, all is well. Excited for the week ahead at tech share pro!

Every year I do Movember. I’m continuing my to raise money for Prostate Cancer UK. I’ve also set a goal to run 100 miles for the month. I just hit 25 miles this morning, and I’m already regretting my decision 😆
I’d really appreciate anyone who can support my fundraiser: movember.com/m/Conner?mc=60

One of the most ND things I experience is a complete lack of ‘friendship decay’…
I can be friends with someone…. Not talk for a year and pick up right where we left off. Friendships just kinda ‘are’.
It’s kinda epic. Especially when someone else has the same dynamic.

Watched kpop demon hunters over the weekend and really enjoyed it.
Never been interested in kpop before … but one of my friends was excited for it so we watched it together and it was ace.
So damn catchy. The ‘soda pop’ song has been bouncing around my brain all morning :)

I had a similar experience with an iPad a while back. Jumped me three generations as they couldn’t repair an issue with the power button / touchID.
It’s nice when it works out this way :)

“hi, your laptop repair is ready for pickup”
“this is not my laptop”
“yeah we don’t have parts for an M1 Max anymore. Is an M4 Max with more RAM okay?”
“…yes?”
anyway that just paid for twelve years of AppleCare because I was ready to buy a new one anyway, I was getting it fixed to sell it

Excited for this coming to Switch 2 next year.
I was hoping for a more in depth ‘remake’ rather than an update. But if it looks good and plays well then it’s close enough.
Loving the Switch 2 for RPGs like Cyberpunk + Outlaws. Total game changer :)

The best neurodivergent inclusion can be kinda invisible.
It’s going somewhere and seamlessly being able to use my AAC.
It’s being given time to process options, or make a decision.
It’s spaces with careful lighting + noise design.
Solving little day to day barriers so everyone can thrive :)

I wish I knew more about sensory needs and how it overlaps with things I can do.
It took literally 5 years to work out that my ability to understand & do things can be entirely flattened by the wrong sensory environment.
Eg, Can’t get dressed in a loud room. Can’t read if chair has wrong texture

The derpy drop has been pretty intense today. Makes sense… first day back on ADHD meds after a long break.
Wondering if I’ve eaten to little so meds haven’t properly worn off yet.
Going to find some food and see if my brain perks up a bit.

I’ve found this with my Switch 2. The ability to physically zoom by bringing the screen right in close makes a lot of game text readable to me.
So much so I’ve been able to play animal crossing without my glasses :)

Gave Citizen Sleeper another go. Definitely not accessible as it has very small text.
However, this time I played it on my Xbox Ally X and because I can have the screen super close it was at least legible for me to play. I now understand why folks really love it. Totally a fun story driven RPG.

It isn't really hard.They don't want the structure of power to change. What is currently taking place is not "American politics as usual" but to do something about it and differently means the dreams of pre-2000 political status quo cronyism between the two parties is truly dead.

Today has been really really good.
Heaps of life admin backlog cleared and did a huge bedroom / bathroom / kitchen reset with help from support folks.
Blood test in a bit. Then if I have enough spoons left. Maybe go do physio at the pool.

Emails and stuff done. Yay
Still a bit unwell with tummy stuff so going to take it slow… focus on sorting my bedroom out… it always degrades when I’m unwell and it needs a proper reset.

GP has also ordered a bunch of blood tests. Off to do those today
Beyond that…. I’ve got a backlog of emails and paperwork to catch up on for various events and stuff.
So far so good. ADHD meds seem to be working better now tummy stuff is sorted. Curious how they go over a few days :)

Woo for GP yesterday. Really helpful.
Trying a second type of tummy meds to see if we can solve the re-occurring sickness and tummy aches.
The first set helped lots & these should work better
Started those today & did some very small ADHD meds to reboot my sleep cycle a little.
Slowly slowly :)
