I don’t seem to be able to post on the latest stuff
This is really a disgrace. 15 years since we lost a deposit for no reason as students. Older and wiser and own my own home now but to not have this properly coordinated at this stage is outrageous
Have to say I laughed at that too 😂. And Diego will put it up 4c and guaranteed the bars will put it up at least 10!
Oh interesting. I’ll give that a blast
I take my meds at home but I also bought like four of them so when I have the executive function to fill them I do it and I’m sorted for four weeks!
Food is different for me. When I first got diagnosed and medicated for ADHD I realised that I was ALWAYS hungry. Like always. I had never not been hungry in my life. I had been full/stuffed but hunger just does not work properly for me. Meds just suddenly made me recognise it. So I can eat my breakfast and not be craving food in ten minutes again.
Not a doctor but I reckon what I had thought was hunger was actually craving dopamine. So I was eating because I thought I was hungry and looking for the kick of sugary foods but I really just needed balanced dopamine levels
For me (piano player/singer and dabble in others) it’s a quick dopamine hit. I struggled most with the ‘boring’ part of training but I hyperfocused through a lot of it and my teacher thankfully new that I needed motivation through that so instead of just learning my exam pieces and technical exercises I was playing pop songs as well that I could sing along with myself etc.
The point I quit lessons was second year college with a new teacher where I spent all year on two pieces. I nearly lost my mind and never went back to lessons.
Even today I struggle to get myself to the piano but I can lose myself for hours and forget to eat or go to the bathroom and just float along on the sea of sound and dopamine 😂
Absolutely crazy. Particularly sitting in wet Ireland currently!
To be fair to the journal, most people use the app which is far more palatable. This is their Home Screen right now for example https://ibb.co/fS4gmJc
Ah god not again. I knew a family in Meath who lost a son too
That is good content! Off to google I went to explore the rabbit hole
And here’s a good read! https://time.com/3633514/why-wont-america-go-metric/
A Department of Health whistleblower has welcomed a Data Protection Commissioner (DPC) decision to issue a fine and ban the practice of collecting excessive sensitive information on children with autism who took legal cases against the State.
As the mum of an Autistic and ADHD Child who has had no services for it this makes me so cross. We’ve had to go private for all diagnosis. His AON which legally was meant to be done in 3 months is currently standing at 20 months and waiting. The only service we’ve received help with was the primary care psychology we were referred to before the diagnoses were discovered but she had no experience with autism so ended up meeting with us a few times instead.
The absolute cheek of them to have retained such information and to have not one but TWO enquiries justifying it to themselves
My son was diagnosed AuDHD in 2021. I have been diagnosed AuDHD this year. I went through the adult autism assessment first. I’m very high functioning (albeit a dated term). I adore research and learning so did well in school and I’m a teacher now. The structure suits me.
However I’m a massive masker. I’ve been dealing with and hiding anxiety, self esteem issues, terror around social stuff, need for routine etc and it all came out and was validated in my diagnosis. It’s been liberating
That’s kinda unlocked a new fear for me. I genuinely never considered this as even a remote possibility
I wouldn’t fancy this version on kindle, not sure how it would work. The main stories are footnoted with the comments to the left and right of the text. I’m away for the next week but I’ll take a few pics when I’m back and share em!
The Annotated Brothers Grimm Bicentennial Edition Edited by Maria Tatar Fairytales I’m loving it. I’m heading to Efteling later in the year and want to remind myself of all the stories
Highly recommended
I really do wonder sometimes. Like this is so wrong on so many levels. Burning pictures of a current Taoiseach is just obnoxious
