Some Questions for Channel 4, about their documentary ‘The Great ADHD Myth?’

https://theneuroscienceofeverydaylife.substack.com/p/some-questions-for-channel-4-about?r=24oxwv&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

Channel 4 have many questions to answer about their upcoming 'documentary'. Here are some of the most pressing

#AdHD #C4

#ADHD #C4

. #ADHD "often begins in childhood and can persist into adulthood".

Is that so? I'm #AuDHD, and my memory is having been both since before I can remember. I think. So is the quote right, or just some BS that someone has posted?

Not sure I need to be normal but it takes a lot of energy pretending to be.

#ADHD Self shaming XD

My #Autistic side craves order. Bookshelves neat and tidy. Things put away in logical places.

My ADHD side is a Chaos Goblin lord of misrule !

He suddenly decided that I had about two dozen Iomega Zip disks (both 100mb and 250mb varieties) that I hadn't looked at for a while (ie since late 1990's / early 2000's)

Those I found no problem. MY USB 250MB ZIP drive however? I couldn't find. I went to the annex. Picked a storage box i was SURE it was in. Brought it to my office, open, search, no joy.

What i SHOULD have done was repack box, take BACK to annex, get next box.

But what I did was grab next box from annex, practically dump contents on my office, get side tracked by other "treasures" , rinse and repeat.

Still haven't found my USB Iomega drive. But now I've practically trashed my office and Autistic me is freaking out XD

Self shaming like this image will actually let me do something about this and tidy up!!!

Quality of Life for Anxiety AuDHD Calls 6 Jun - d3vious d3viant If you suffer from memory and auditory problems like hearing or voice impairments from mental health try this text to voice service. I used it for calling DWP Universal Credit. The benefits of this is that they the DWP didn't lie as much. Someone on the relay team helps just by knowing they are there. Relay are impartial and type exactly what the DWP say and you, and say exact what you write. So you have a written record or the conversation. Another benefit of typing I find because of my AuDHD is that distractions are removed, and I can reread what has been said. I would like to have the ability to print the written record so that you can say that it was not changed. As present you can only copy paste the transcript. I would like timestamps too, for start and every paragraph. Also the start and end, and all words. Right now this no way to tell how long the conversation took. Even without this, this free service for disabled people to access any phone customer service gives the both access and protection we need. Thank BT. Developer Response 10 Jun Thank you for your detailed review and feedback.

The world is filled with ill-intentioned monsters. Deceit and nastiness abound. What are we to do?

Taas vaihteeksi kun heräsin adhd pörinään, tuli mieleen mitä psykologi sanoi kun se minulla diagnosoitiin pari vuosikymmentä sitten. Silloin en vielä itse ollut perehtynyt tai tiennyt juuri mitään adhd:sta, aiheesta ei puhuttu näin avoimesti kuin nykyään. Sittemmin olen oppinut, että adhd on hyvin voimakas suvussani, diagnooseja on nuoremmilla monilla ja vanhemmilla polvilla vakaa epäilys, mutta eivät enää koe tarvetta tutkia.

Mutta siis psykologi selitti silloin, että adhd on jäänne ihmisen biologisesta historiasta.
Kun elämä oli raadollista ja rankkaa, luontoäiti totesi, että tarvitaan erikoisjoukkoja.
Tyyppejä jotka huomaa yksityiskohtia, on valppaampia ja energisempiä. Tyypejä jotka herää pienempäänkin poikkeamaan öisessä äänimaailmassa ja jotka analysoi ja reagoi tilanteisiin alitajuntaisesti ja nopeasti ja myös agressiivisemmin.

Yksinkertaistettuna, tehtiin vartijoita, sotureita ja metsästäjiä.

Oli toki puhetta negatiivisistakin puolista, jotks korostuvat nykyaikana koska yhteiskunta ei enää tarvitse tämmöistä. Onneksi kokoajan osataan kuitenkin ohjata erikoisuuksiamme hyötykäyttöön muuten. Mutta yhä meitä on paljon vankiloissa ja usein olemme miettineet suvun kesken, että on paljon vanhempien kasvatuksen ja puhtaan moukantuurin ansiota, että en ole yksi heistä. Potentiaalia olisi ollut.

A couple of weeks ago I asked for help with eyedrops for my dry eyes due to #ADHD meds. Even though the tips helped, using the eyedrops was so stressful and the dry eyes so overstimulating that I considered quitting the meds. But I have found a solution that works for me so I want to share it to hopefully help others.

I found eye spray on Amazon. You spray it on your eyelids and keep them closed for a couple of minutes. Because the skin of your eyelids is so thin, it gets absorbed into your eyes. And it helps sooo much with the itching and the skin irritations. It’s still there but manageable.

Attention every developer ever:

Please stop showing me a feature tour every fucking time I launch an app even if it’s on a new system. Even if it’s a new version. Even if there are new features.

You know I’ve opened it. You probably even know how many times I’ve used your application.

These incessant pop-ups just trigger ADHD rage and makes me want to find you and hurt you.

Good that Channel 4 decided to pick someone completely unbiased for their "documentary" about ADHD.

Ok, your next ADHD therapy appointment will be monday the 17th at 11am. Will you be 1 hour early, or 15 minutes late?

RE: https://infosec.exchange/@paco/116887268970242050

Okay, sorry, but this is still apparently not widely known: this is standard #ADHD quasi-teleportation. ADHDers are incompletely evolved teleports. Seeking an item generates an energy field that pushes the item out of this time-space dimension into the next one over. It remains there until the seeker stops looking, at which point the item will finally pop back into this dimension.
