No. I keep track of everything in my brain. I understand I might be weird with my brain's ability to organize book-related things without outside assistance
Do you use Zotero or any other kind of reference management system for keeping track of papers/source material.

There are two great frustrations in my life atm; one is that with ADHD addressed for 18 months+ now, there are things I’ve wanted to do for decades that I have time and brain to begin.
And I’m finding them hard for normal reasons not ADHD related and that’s ANOTHER problem to solve.
Dammit.

Me: I should do cosplay related things! Either working on stuff or posting the massive backlog of pictures I have.
Brain: You don't deserve to. You'rw bad at it. It's a waste of time.
I continue to stare at the ceiling and pray for my demise.

Still marveling that my dad was convinced Bernie Sanders secretly wanted to abolish the American government, and then my dad voted for Trump who is literally doing exactly that
He's a smart guy but I think Fox News or something related has cooked his brain

Ok so my brain is mush and I‘m not really able to formulate the difference between, let‘s say, 1H ruler in the 10H vs 10H ruler in the 1H. Yeah, career and self are somehow related, but what‘s the nature of this connection in these two different scenarios? Can anybody put this into words please

Related: Neurodivergence is a spectrum. There no such person as a "Neurotypical". Everyones brain and chemistry diverges from the imaginary "ideal" model. Some people diverge so far to experience major problems based on differing weighting of needs
I think I know why so many people think "everyone is a little autistic"
It's because autistic needs are human needs.
Because our needs are not a different category of need. They're the same as everyone else's...

I don’t think I have an inner voice. Or at least not a recognisable one. And I can read pretty fast generally speaking. I’m also completely anaphastasic (I don’t ever “see” anything in my mind’s eye), so I wonder if these are related somehow. My brain deals in concepts rather than the senses. 🤷♀️

Childhood gut microbiome is linked to internalizing symptoms at school age via the functional connectome - Nature Communications
Here, the authors find that relative abundances of stress-sensitive gastrointestinal microbes at age 2 years predicts internalizing symptoms in middle childhood through altered emotion-related brain network connectivity.

One more analysis with greater implications: In most neuroscience settings, we don’t know the true inputs to a brain region. When we build models, we apply proxy inputs that we think are related to the true input. With InputDSA, we can evaluate this! (7/) (as in e.g line attractors in hypothalamus))

Is there anything non-work-related you can do for a bit to unclench your brain? I'm sorry, I know how hard this is.
