Silly Lil GuyI think... One of the things that shifted my personal thinking from being broken but managing, to feeling like a valid person in my own right was my ADHD diagnosis. Its like the Percy Jackson books haha, I'm not built for being bored, I'm built for being scared shitless and being able to function anyways.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/adhd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#adhd</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/neurodivergent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#neurodivergent</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/neurodivergence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#neurodivergence</a>

hyperrealSome things I find questionable that I've seen floating around neurodivergent space:<ul><li>That Adderall, stimulants are a litmus test for ADHD in the sense that it has a calming effect only on those with ADHD while it has the opposite effect on those without ADHD. I'll grant that this may be true for some folks, including those with ADHD, but I'm not certain it has a calming effect /only/ on ADHD folks. If there are studies with replicated results that demonstrate this, that will remove a lot of my doubt. One study isn't going to convince me, nor should it convince anyone else.</li><li>I'm not exactly doubting the validity of this, but I'd like to learn more about the differences between ADHD and autism. I feel like a lot of people conflate these unintentionally, or maybe what they are describing is one and the same underlying condition with their specific unique presentation. I've seen well-respected autism advocates say that the central defining feature of autism is monotropism, whereas ADHD people are polytropic. So I'm curious how one can be monotropic yet also be ADHD. There was a Venn diagram someone made that showed traits where autism and ADHD differ and where they overlap. I found this Venn diagram to coincide with my experience and mental model, and it made me think that autism and ADHD are just different presentations/phenotypes of one and the same thing.</li></ul><a href="https://tilde.zone/tags/neurodivergence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#neurodivergence</a> <a href="https://tilde.zone/tags/autism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#autism</a> <a href="https://tilde.zone/tags/ADHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ADHD</a> <a href="https://tilde.zone/tags/AuDHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AuDHD</a>

Scott MurrayHere’s a specific question:A friend has an autistic son about age 11. One of his special interests is building his own computers from parts. But he’s just hit the upper limit of what he can figure out on his own.Where would you look for support? Ideally like a computer hobbyist / maker / nerd who could consult with this child and help him along? Like a build-your-own-PC tutor?Back in the day there were “computer clubs” like the famous Homebrew Computer Club. I’m not even sure if groups like that exist anymore. 🤷‍♂️Thank you!<a href="https://sfba.social/tags/AskFedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AskFedi</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/neurodivergence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#neurodivergence</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/BuildYourOwn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BuildYourOwn</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/computer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#computer</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/autism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#autism</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/AutismParenting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AutismParenting</a>
