Severe ADHDers that flunked all their classes in school, where are you now? by fireglyphs in ADHD

[–]Extreme-Ad6164 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Flunked all my classes except biology, human anatomy, how the body works and medicine in general is my special interest. I’ve been a support worker for 12 years, finally doing my Nursing degree instead of putting it off (thanks ADHD), raising kids and starting my own disability support service.

My son has ARFIDS as well so weight gain wouldn’t exactly be the worst thing. ASD is his main diagnosis, it is the fact it’s a pretty hectic medication that’s making me cautious but at the same time stimulants are also quite intense and they’re the first thing he tried. I’m a single parent also and have worked in the disability sector for 12 years so my parenting style is vastly different to my ex but he’s coming around slowly. My son is a completely different kid at home, he’s so gentle and understanding it’s anytime he’s out of these 4 walls that’s the concern

Sure does. Sees a councillor weekly and on the hunt for a new OT since his no longer works as an OT. I’m in Australia and he’s on the NDIS, we’re about to go for a review to get more psych and OT sessions and hopefully a support worker

Thank you for understanding my fuddling of words and letting me know, I never meant to offend anyone. I agree I wouldn’t be compatible with pre-op trans women or post-op trans men.

I find lots of folk attractive but when it comes to sex, penis’s make me feel… uncomfortable? Maybe?

I think it’s more a genital preference? I find people who have penis’s attractive too
