So that’s why they say “eat the rich”!

Autism and ADHD are a such a good example for this. While 15 years ago the DSM still said that it is impossible to have both, today we know that there is a huge overlap. Depending on the studies, when you have Autism, there is a 40-70% chance that you also have ADHD. And if you are diagnosed with ADHD, the chances to also have autism are between 20-50%

And there are enough other common comorbidities that could be seen as the “main” diagnosis and prevent you from being correctly diagnosed, like depression, odd, ocd or anxiety.

It’s so important to get a psychiatrist that is specialized and it’s a shame that it seems to be an almost global problem to even get any.

Oh would love a book with atmospheric music that changes through the pages and sound effects at the right time.

The autism part in my audhd makes sure that project related things are kept together in bins or bags. In contrast to all the other, not-project-relayed things piling up on my desk…

I took methylphenidate and now lisdexafetamine, both with retardation. Always one in the morning that would last for about 6 hours, so I take a second, smaller dose at noon to boost the duration. I never experienced crashes. When I forget the dose at noon I realize it because my mind keepa wandering off in the afternoon or because I suddenly am not doing the task I originally wanted to do because I got distracted or followed a rabbit hole. Just hope it’s not in the middle of an important meeting.

In the drawer right next to IPv5

And the active tab changes randomly…

There’s a reason for the joke that adhd is like having 63 tabs open in your browser and one of them is playing music x)

Well those don’t have my sympathy for sure

I have great sympathy for our soldiers and our military leaders. They are being given directions by a senile old man who is losing his mind. And so, it’s no surprise that this war is going horribly.

I don’t. They should have turned against the current administration and the president long time ago. At the very least when this war was going to start. They didn’t and still follow orders that weren’t legal at the beginning, not questioning what they are doing.

ADHDers favorite sport: jumping to conclusions

I don’t use Tailscale or Headscale as I’m the only user and happy with Wireguard.

But I had to add my Wireguard interface as default gateway for it’s IP range to my router. Maybe this was set on your old router but isn’t configured yet?

1. It’s encrypted and 2) it’s encrypted with my own key

None of this is of any use if the mailbox of the sender or recipient of the email is not also encrypted.

Doesn’t have to be a USB drive. You can also backup your data to a network storage if you have any.

Good choice with EndeavourOS btw., using it since over a year now and I am very happy.

As others said it all depends on what you expect. I run stable diffusion on my gaming pc with 32GB RAM and a AMD 9070xt and it works fine. Did also on a 6800xt before that one died. A GPU with 16GB RAM helps a lot, would say that 12GB is the minimum. Lower will limit you in the models and speed.

For LLM just try it out, they work fine without special hardware for smaller models and as long as you are the only user. There are tools like Jan or lmstudio which make it easy to run.

Of course they are your own thoughs, well at least I hope so. It’s just not the thoughts you want to follow now, and that takes a huge amount of energy to do so. Because they are all the same “volume”. Not only that, the thoughts get mashed together and it can be impossible to distinguish between them.

So you sooner or later inevitably start following the wrong thought which spawns a dozen other seemingly random thoughts (but they are not random for you) and then you get yelled at because you’re slow and made a lot of errors and hear once again “just focus on the task” or “why don’t you just concentrate on what you’re doing”.

So if neurotypicals can simply focus by ignoring or by putting aside other thoughts, for neurodiverse this is “silence”. Not in the meditative “empty your head, let all thoughts go” way, that’s another huge step.

I don’t think that this is what the person in the picture means, but the ability to focus on one thing while ignoring/put aside all the noise in your head. With ADHD the inside of your head sounds like being in the center of a fun fair, where it’s almost impossible to hear your “own” thoughts.

Damn, that sucks. Out of curiosity, did you also try guanfacine? I read good things about it in articles but somehow never read actual experience from people who are actually affected and need an alternative to stimulants.

And yes, cardio helps a lot. I do some running and yoga, both are good in a physical way and for mindfulness.

Unfortunately that doesn’t work for me. My wife says similar things after I finished tasks like this. “Doesn’t if feel good to know that this task is done?” No, there is no positive feeling, not in that way. I’m happy it’s over and that I wont get reminded to do it for the next weeks but I know that this is not what she means.

Doing this needs a lot of hard mental work, so well done op!

That was the first thing I noticed when taking meds for the first time: silence!
