Ever since I take methylphenidate a neurospicy but undiagnosed friend loves to shame me because I have a legal "drug addiction". He makes sure I know that he would not want to be hooked on that shit.

Same friend also drinks up to 5 cups of coffee per day, vapes weed regularly and swears mushrooms heal his "depression".

Same friend also "never loses or forgets things and has no problems concentrating" unlike me. Only thing is, he does all that.

Find the flaw.

Yesterday, I finally completed my longest outstanding executive dysfunction task. It took 34 years, but that poster is finally in a frame. How the hell it didn't get lost or ruined, even through having been homeless and fleeing clear across the country, is beyond my comprehension.

We're INCHES away from the #Rehabilitation #farms #RFKJr. said he wants to send all people diagnosed with #Autism, #ADHD, & #Depression to without their medications.

So, the neuropsychologist I’ve been referred to to be assessed regarding ADHD, after two sessions, told me I score way too high on the autism questionnaire, so I must have autism and not ADHD (funny after my previous psychiatrist was sure about my ADHD, but not autism), and my ADHD questionnaire answers are less relevant because the problems “happen in social situations or special contexts” - and I was like ‘aren’t all the contexts special?’, but, of course, didn’t say it out loud - it seems, she’s just one of those who still consider autism and ADHD to be mutually exclusive.

And after that, she said she’s not a specialist in autism, only in ADHD, and I must look for another specialist to talk about autism assessment, and, of course, neither her health center nor my insurance company have one.

And people keep behaving as if those who don’t have an official diagnosis, don’t count! I mean, even financial side aside (hello 340 euros spent for nothing so far!), for someone with executive distinction to get through all those steps is insane and requires quite a lot of effort and dedication from anyone trying to - how can anyone expect all the ND people really go through it?

#RFKjr is a bad person, some doctors say the definition of autism is too broad.

As someone who has been diagnosed with #ADHD: as far as I am concerned, ADHD is a choice combined with a predisposition. I get distracted with school because I find other things more interesting, and I have a predisposition (or maybe made a choice when I was young) to think a lot

Finally getting into the habit of using a ridesharing app instead of local taxis. Somehow, in 2025, Nanaimo still doesn’t have Uber or Lyft, but we do have something called Uride, and it’s not the most accessible thing on the planet but I can still use it. it means I get way friendlier and more competent drivers, I can text or call them, and I can pay through the app instead of dealing with inaccessible credit card machines. I feel like I had a choice today: I could be discouraged by the fact that the app is hilariously inaccessible, or I could be happy that I can still use it independently and get where I need to go. I’m a little annoyed because it seems like every door-to-door transportation option has downsides, but mostly I’m channeling that energy into making a good screen recording of all the issues i’m having, sending it to the very friendly support who appear to actually want to fix the app, and being glad the day went so smoothly. I wonder if this is the more subtle effect of #ADHD medication. The thing about executive function is that when it actually—well—functions, it does so without making a fuss. Things just happen. And that’s how I’m starting to feel, at least some of the time. I didn’t just make a screen recording—I made a two-part screen recording, made a video edit, figured out how to convert it to email-friendly format using ffmpeg, and am going to talk to Aira to make sure it looks okay. Then I thought to myself, “Hey, I don’t usually have the motivation or energy to do something like this. That’s kinda nice.”
The problem with the subtlety is that I’ve spent a lot of time feeling like certain things were hard, and I’m still learning exactly how it feels for them to be easier, so I need to un-learn the habit of putting things off because I *think* they’ll be more difficult. That takes time—but more importantly, it takes dedication, which is not something I’m known for having in high quantities. The best indicators of success are still these accidental ones, where I suddenly realize I’ve been hyperfocusing on something relatively important and complex, and then I have to translate that into “Hey, maybe this other thing that used to be hard until a couple of months ago is not so hard now, let’s give my brain a chance to prove itself.”

Are there any small makers of fidget toys and fidget jewelry in the USA who would like to sell their fidgets in my online store for autistic & neurodivergent people?

I'm looking to buy fidgets in bulk from creators, makers, etc. You will get full credit on the listing and paid upfront.

Please share to help me and fidget toy makers find each other. 🙂
