I don’t really get the point of people who dispute medical diagnoses - “No sweetie, you don’t have type 2 diabetes, ThE MeDiCaL EsTaBLiShMeNt…” like, shut the hell up you vapid cretin.
I work with a guy who genuinely believes that eating carrots improved his vision two days. Not that carrots are good for eye health in general, but that it had “healing powers” and fixed his vision. Yeahhhh okkkkk broooo……
ADD/ADHD don’t have an established pathology. That’s why. They came up with diagnostic criteria and called it a “disorder”.
You know how in animistic religions, they see the sun, rain, ice, fire, and decide each of those things has a god associated with it? And anything that happens involving those, gets explained in terms of the interactions of those gods?
One of the very few advantages of being neurodivergent is it is unbelievably easy to make sure someone will never want to talk to you again. Just stop making efforts to act “normal”.
I don’t remember how to unmask. 😶
I mask fine sober but throw in a little weed and you’re getting a six hour lesson on black hole holography.
I think I would like to hear this six hour lesson, Radioactive Butthole.
Does it involve trains in any way, shape or form?
Anyone who wants this kind of combo should read Peter Hamilton’s Commonwealth Saga (Pandora’s Star and Judas Unchained). Literally a society built around a train network connected with wormholes between planets.
You know it really bothers me that Train obsession is such a hallmark trait of Autism because I was (and still am a little bit) completely obsessed with trains. I had a model train layout, I had train wallpaper, I asked for train things for my birthday, all I ever talked about was all train all the time and not one single adult was ever like “hey maybe this kid who is struggling in school and has no friends and is obsessed with trains is a bit on the spectrum?”.
I turned out more or less fine but I often wonder how much pain and suffering could have been avoided, or at least contextualized, if even one adult in my life was like, “hey wait this isn’t normal for a 10 year old”.
One of my favorite recently acquired phrases is “the trains aren’t always trains” but it looks like in your case they might just be trains.
