AuDHD: My brain holds everything & nothing, and I don't get to pick which part does what. Sometimes I'm funny.

Also, I have a(n honorary) PhD. in theology, and just started going back to school (at 37 💀) for an eventual PsyD.
The vibes of that area make that arch look fae as hell. Also quite relaxing!

That is great that you recognized the need. I mostly eliminated Twitter after King Twat bought it, I just keep a dummy account for things that get posted to Twitter only

It just sucks. I get that he trusts us at least some, he has told us so. But we just had to spend so long telling him that trust requires things like vulnerability, a leap of faith, hope that it doesn't fuck you over, and not having that "I will never trust" mindset.

Good looking out! Thank you!

I appreciate you letting me know that! I'd been working, so I hadn't tried looking through them yet.

I kinda have a hard time with new people online. I *want* to make new friends, but I have issues doing so because social norms and social complexity. 🤷‍♂️

There's a flaw in the premise. While I agree that ketchup water may, in fact, be the source of all evil, I can not agree in good conscience with "ketchup (good)."

Yeah, I can see how that would have that effect. Personally, I'm more of a "Well, it was a nice idea, but it didn't work out. Let's burn it to the ground and start over, applying the lessons we've learned." type of person.

(2/2) It helps with that late diagnosis sense of mourning "what could have been" to see the perspective of someone who *was* diagnosed early, and still had issues because the understanding of ADHD just wasn't there yet.

So, thank you for sharing.

I appreciate this thread and your perspective. Spent a lot of time thinking about "what if I'd been diagnosed early?"

The adult in my life had it suggested by a teacher when I was 10 (1996), but I was "too smart" for that. Didn't learn that until my 20s, didn't get diagnosed until last year.

I was SO hyped! Was a pharmacy tech until recently, and I was definitely following along with patent news about that.
