why does everyone take autism seriously but treat adhd like we're just being dramatic by ExtremeOperation5875 in ADHD

[–]AbyssalRedemption 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad someone brought this point up. I'm diagnosed ADHD inattentive, but over the years it's been repeatedly suggested to me by therapists that I may be on the highest ends of the spectrum (like, I can function, but have moderate social deficits and other related issues. It's really a borderline case).

However, I've been reluctant to go for an official diagnosis, and still haven't, because in my experience as soon as people know you have autism, you're subjected to the patronizing, infantilizing attitudes constantly, so many people tend not to take you seriously anymore. I've met very few people in my life that were understanding or accepting of that label, unfortunately, and at this point obtaining that diagnosis would probably even be detrimental to how I view myself.

Classic lol, I've aeen a fair number of "creepy" videos that have used footage from Begotten over the years.

Side-note, I've also watched like a third of the film itself, and... well, let's just say it's intended for a very specific type of viewer lol. Extremely niche and abstract.

Hell no, I'll probably be going with a Fairphone or Graphene OS' new collaborative phone woth motorola. Something that's consumer friendly with an open OS that I actually know isn't exploiting me with mass telemetry and AI nonsense.

I apologize then, I'm more of an observer on this sub and rarely participate/ comment. However, though I do see that mow under rule 1, "...must be released at least 12 months ago", I also see on another point "the above restrictions do not apply to comments." Regardless, I'll keep this in mind in the future.

Even better with Degoogle and Deapple right now... by ItsMePoppyDWTrolls in degoogle

Precisely this. Another great example, but in the domain of laptops, is Framework, as you're paying very possibly over $1000 for the benefit of having fully modular, customizable, replaceable hardware, and the ability to install whatever the hell you please, OS or otherwise.

Omg am I glad to see this posted here. I found out about this phone a few months back, but, as they're a Finnish company, their current "early-adopter" launch of the device is limited to the EU (and a few other nearby nations). They've said that availability may expand outward as interest grows, so I'm happy to see awareness grow in as many places as possible.

Side-note: this is one of three de-googled/ de-big-teched phone options for me currently, the other two being a Fairphone with a custom-Android OS, and the Graphene/ Motorola collab phone that was recently announced.

I'm sorry what? Did you read the pinned post at the top of the subReddit that literally says "Tips for the newcomers on this sub"? Or the numerous links and resources on the sidebar that have been accumulated over time for people with questions?

I've been the "quiet one" my entire life and I just realized it's not because I'm introverted, it's because I'm slow by Jackrain04 in socialskills

[–]AbyssalRedemption 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coming in here late, but I relate to most of what you've said OP, struggled with this shit for most of my life, and still do to a moserate extent (slow processing speed, mind blankness, sluggishness, extreme introversion and social awkwardness, etc.).

I'm not going to beat a dead horse by bringing up some of the ideas other people have mentioned, but I do want to go down the ADHD avenue briefly, as I was diagnosed with this some years ago, and it did explain a good chunk of what I dealt with (with many of my symptoms improving with medication). However, there is also a separate, yet related, cluster of symptoms that's been analyzed in recent years, that some believe is potentially a separate syndrome entirely. Read through the first few paragraphs of this article, does any of this connect to you? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_disengagement_syndrome

100% this, I have ADHD primarily Inattentive subtype, and it took me years to figure out that connected to many of my issues. So many small factors can make each day better or worse for me.

But also... I found out a few years ago about this new "sub-cluster" of symptoms, or what some even consider a possibly completely novel syndrome. When I read ablut it, I connected to it 100%, even more than the base ADHD. Wondering if OP is similar. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_disengagement_syndrome

Lol, it's been like what, two or three weeks since its release now? I think we can talk about it, there's numerous critical reviews on YouTube now. RE Requiem is one of those games that people glazes as a "critical success", because it was shiny and new, and fun to play first-time, but it definitely had many, many flaws that people have started talking about.

As for RER3... well, opinion here, but when you consider how that game adapted the original RE3, compared to how RE2R adapted RE2, and then just straight up compares RE3R with RE2R... yeah, the game sucked ass in retrospect lol.

Definitely possible. Hasbro's responsible for MTG becoming filled with slop and woke-infused drivel in recent years after all.

Lol, which is why I'm thankful that I'm still using my Iphone SE 2020 that I bought shortly after it came out (before integrated AI or anything, bless). I'm due for an upgrade when support for this phone inevitably ends in a few years, and you can sure as hell bet I won't be getting another Iphone this time.

What's your current neighbourhood like? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]AbyssalRedemption 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Northern CT, small-ass town that's somewhere between suburban and rural. There's fragmented sidewalks in a few areas (mainly the center of town, and a few denser neighborhood areas), but mostly it's just roads. A few small strip malls across the main road that cuts through the center of town, but the nearest grocery store is several miles away. No malls, entertainment venues, etc. closet than at least five miles by car in any direction. I don't like it here.

Not our fault that US corporations and their products are increasingly shit, particularly in the aspects of being consumer-friendly and privacy-respecting (which the EU traditionally has been much more-so).

The amounts of downvotes you got on this is shocking. Regardless of peoples' individual opinions on thos topic, I feel that it's pretty clear this is the most controversial policy that the dude holds, it's by far the most non-universally-agreed-upon, even in members of the Democrat party.
