My dear AuDHD / ADHD / autistic fellows, do you have any experience with "mindfulness"? You know, the stuff where whole books exist about being in the moment, breathing, etc.? I don't yet know much about it and before I deep-dive into it, I want to know from you!
Is it useful? Or is it just another thing that seems to be advice from neurotypicals for neurotypicals?

Mangam’s four-star review of ‘The Great ADHD Myth?’ is as much of a legitimate review as the documentary is legitimate scientific research, i.e. not at all, and it’ll genuinely harm people as a resulDean Burnett (The Neuroscience of Everyday Life)
"Some of the most prescribed medications, including those used to treat depression, ADHD and high blood pressure, can increase the risk of dehydration and other heat-related conditions."
Given that 'The Great #ADHD Myth?" airs tonight, I'll flag up that Channel4 still haven't answered these important questions
Presumably because they're fully aware that it's a deeply dangerous and cynical endeavour that'll do genuine harm to many, but don't want to have to admit it

Channel 4 have announced a new documentary exploring the ‘myth’ of ADHD. There are so many questions they need to answer about this incredibly reckless endeavour.Dean Burnett (The Neuroscience of Everyday Life)
Verständlich. Sacken lassen ist eine gute Idee. Da kann so viel kommen mit neuem Blick. Zweifel, Wut, Trauer, Freude, Neugierde. Bei mir war es ein Gefühlschaos und hat sich Stück für Stück gewandelt.
Spezielle Accounts hier kann ich nicht genau nennen, aber gute Podcasts finde ich z.B.:
– ADHS Perspektiven
– Reizüberflutet
– ADHD Chatter ( englisch )
I might need Fedi’s help with my garden. It’s a tinyyyy patio that’s completely overrun with weeds, and there's two bottomless planters filled with compost from the previous owners. It sees some morning sun but otherwise is shaded. I have no idea what to do with it!
Anything #solarpunk wins. Must be #ADHD friendly. EDIT: Here's a photo. It's in a sorry state. The wormery isn't in use!
ADHD and anxiety don't always come alone.
Did you know that 25–50% of children with ADHD also have anxiety?
Not one or the other — both, at the same time, often masking each other.
When you only look for one, you only find one. And that means your child only gets half the support they need.
A proper assessment gives you the full picture — and the full picture is where real progress starts.

"I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve"… or something.
Hello, or hello again—if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything nice.
If you think you know me by another name… I cannot argue with that… not even a little bit.
New here, and by that I mean that this is a brand new instance.
Single user GoToSocial instance, self-hosted on my own hardware; this is not my first. It's just like that scene from the Matrix with the Architect: we just keep torching it and starting over, and we're starting to get pretty damned good at torching it.
I've had a WriteFreely instance before, and I think I might have another one here in the near future, honestly.
GED in 2011 at 17; no qualifications otherwise, at least literally on paper.
No human children; cat dad, though.
NixOS diehard on desktop/server. The host machine for the VM for this server, as well as the VM itself, both run NixOS and always will. Currently using Niri on the host machine and loving it. GrapheneOS diehard on mobile.
Love projects, especially the kind that are never finished because they're never supposed to be.
Grew up in Oregon and moved to New Mexico with my family when they did.
I ride a unicycle. Trying to learn violin. These things don't necessarily have anything to do with each other, I hope.
ADHD and Tourette Syndrome, both professionally diagnosed for the first time when I was 20-something.
My dad passed away last October.

"Und wenn es dich wirklich sauer macht, dass Menschen Hilfe bekommen, die du gar nicht brauchst, bist du vielleicht einfach ein Arschloch"
Starke Aussage!

I guess now that this #Friendica instance is actually working, I'd better do an #introduction. I never did one when I created my #Mastodon account (at @gmc@chasmcity.net).
I'm a retired #hacker, #scifi #author, #software architect working for a silicon manufacturer, #pinball enthusiast, #RetroComputing #nerd, #SelfHosting zealot, #gay, card-carrying #adhd (#add) member and #migraine warrior. I live in #Sweden, but am originally from #TheNetherlands. I love #nature, #snow, the #cat and the #dog.
I'm not sure how I will use this Friendica account, since I also have the Mastodon account. We'll see. There's things I like about Friendica (especially how easy it is to follow threads) as well as Mastodon (especially how easy it is to filter and block to protect my #MentalHealth). I might set up some scripts to synchronise followers or some such, or maybe not and cultivate a different vibe on both accounts. Who knows.
I'll be trying on some other #SelfHosting #Fediverse servers as well.
