Neurodivergence

It's a bit different for everyone

Hey all, I have ADHD and insomnia! I've tried some things, but, I'm really hoping someone has advice on how to keep a schedule. I always end up slipping around until I have to do some kind of grueling "all-dayer" or something to put myself back on track.

Thoughts? Tricks? Wisdom? I'm all ears.

We have seen an inordinate amount of hate recently to 'non acceptable' neurodivergences here and other places on lemmy and would really like it if it be explicitly in the rules here that that isn't acceptable.

We are tired of seeing people target those with 'cluster b' personality 'disorders' and even those of us who are plural.

So making the rules explicit that that kind of ill informed hate (or just hate in general) to specific neurodivergences isn't acceptable would go a long way to quelling this absolutely disgusting and unacceptable wave of armchair psychologists, conspiracy theorists and other undesirables.

Thanks for reading.

The other day I tried to talk about stimming and I just formulated the following idea:

I see stimming as a way to self-overload some sensory system to drown out uncontrollable sensory input.

How do you think this fits your understanding and/or experience of stimming?

I'm horribly noise sensitive and sometimes light. But the noise really gets me!

If like me you're hyper sensitive to touch and disorganised I really recommend reading this post by resident fashionista @[email protected] The app is great and helps you plan outfits, see what works etc. Her post is detailed and explains it well, she's a trusted poster and not affiliated just uses it, and she's happy to answer questions.

My one... the Titanic didn't get all their lifeboats out. A problem they had was that crew were used to putting lifeboats in the water then people in the boats... these ones you filled and then had to lower inexperienced passengers 70 feet into the sea. In pitch black.

People tend to focus on the negative but there's so many "symptoms" we have that are brilliant! What are yours?
