Yup! Postcode lottery at its finest!

Brilliant that people power has made sure the proposed changes have been scrapped! It does make me wish we had the same in Northern Ireland. Ludicrous that it’s another example of your UK post code being a difference in how you’ll be treated if you need an ADHD diagnosis.

😂 ADHD cowboy sounds like a great movie. A busted big toe means I haven’t ran since I started meds and hoping to get back to it in a week or two, so haven’t experienced that yet.

Titration is such a weird experience trying to figure out what a right dose for you is when you’re not sure what that feels like!

I am really looking forward to getting back to 40mg this week!

Thanks for the shout out!

I wish you the best too.

so far this year and I've made £150 in subscriptions so I'm down over a grand. I didn't set it up to monetise and don't really have plans to either. The day I do begin to monetise it, however, is the day I will start paying people.

On this point, to be 100% transparent, I set up the site because I wanted a place where people could write their own stories to get a balance of experience, not just my own (aka a middle aged white straight male). It's what I craved when I got a diagnosis. Setting the site up has cost me £1300

Not my intention to come across as comparing the size of our autism!

So much of that resonates! I had people say same about me being a 'social butterfly'. One of my friends also said a phrase you used to the letter in your article “you’re not just autistic, you’re autistic as fuck”, when I told him I'd got a diagnosis and he wondered how I'd only realised at 47. 😂

Also if you're ever interested in writing about your own experience on themoment.blog, let me know! Trying to make it a place where many people can write about their own journey (mostly from not finding a site that had the detail/focus on concepts that I craved when I got a diagnosis this year).

Always comes down to what works for you! Though now you say this I might write some stories and do some baking 😂

That was hardest thing for me even with having a structure around work etc. there doesn’t seem to be much content out there talking about the positive impact, so I struggled to understand what to expect!

I wasn’t sure outside of side effects whether it was working for me. I really struggled to understand how it was helping. Last week I forgot to take meds with me on a two-day trip to London. That’s when I realised the difference it was making.

If it helps, I had the same thing, but after about a week it settled down. I moved to 40mg and then had a shorter period of similar side effects. But 7 weeks in now, most of them are gone. This is a bit over dramatic to make a point but I wrote about it here:
