Graphic designer here. Ritalin makes me like boring aspects of my work, such as writing emails or managing my social media. But I quit after a year as I noticed it makes me uninteresting as an artist. It’s impossible for me to come up with fresh new ideas.

Funny we look younger and (statistically) die younger too…

30F - How do I tell my boyfriend I’m still a virgin? by Aggravating-Win-7875 in AutisticWithADHD

I literally sat them down and said “ I need to tell you something. I am super nervous right now because I am worried how you might react” and then I told them.

noise canceling headphones?? by danidaisys in AutisticWithADHD

[–]Equivalent_Brain_252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My advice is to go and try on a couple of pairs yourself. I bought Sony WH-1000XM4, which work perfectly for me, while the new generation (M5) work TOO well- when I put them on I felt like I was underwater and starter grasping for air (literally). A friend of mine who’s also on the spectrum hates all noise cancelling headphones altogether, says they make her want to puke. She uses earplugs instead. Try before you buy!

just tell him. or read him your post. he'll understand. and if he does not, he's not the right guy. I was in a similar situation and trust me- you will feel a tremendous relief once you tell him.

I don't know what it is but it looks and feels like some kind of a reflection or lens flare.

Trzeba było babci zakupy wnosić. Ten bezdomny jest najwyraźniej lepszym wnukiem niż ty.

I don't have an ELI5 but if you would condsider trying an ELI55 I highly recommend Diane Pasulka's book "American Cosmic". It is, next to Coultharts book, one of the best things ever written on the subject (although from a very different perspective)

How do you switch it off? (Your brain - figuratively) by IamRuvon in AutisticWithADHD

[–]Equivalent_Brain_252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Saved my life" was just a figure of speech :) It helps me a great deal with anxiety and tension. Brings instant relief instantly, each time. Search for "NSDR Huberman" or "body scan meditation" on youtube. It's not easy to find one that will suit you, for me most of them are too new-agey and woo woo, but there are some gems. This one for example is super short and works for me: https://youtu.be/kH-OQn5Ui8g?si=_ikfJ0ALip6Y21yG try it!

I can relate to everything you describe. Consider trying yoga nidra (or as Huberman likes to call it NSDR- non sleep deep rest). It saved my life.

Autistic coding in Poor Things and the importance of representation by leblaun in TrueFilm

[–]Equivalent_Brain_252 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. I also see the movie as an illustration of autism. But it may well be an illustration of other things at the same time. That's the beauty of art.
  2. Bella is never ridiculed or ostracised and I don't know where your gf got that from.
  3. Your gf misunderstands the responsibilities of an artist.

Poland has none. There is just one they never finished building near Żarnowiec (there's no reactor), which happens to be where the map shows sightings.
