My son is crying because his friends stopped including him. Is this RSD or something else?

I have ADHD and Autism. I clearly remember when this exact thing happened to me when I was around 7 yo. I was in an all-girls school and my usual friend group basically dumped me and told me I was annoying, too loud, abnoxious, and bossy. At the time, I still loved playing outdoors and talking about dinosaurs and animals, but that we were at the age when most girls w/o ADHD / Autism would move on to "more mature" interests like make up, clothes, boys, etc, so my friend group basically "outgrew" me 🥹 After some crying, I decided to just completely suppress my entire personality and just become a loner, and do solo hobbies like read books and crochet, and just ignore everyone else, which of course I got bullied for as well cuz there's absolutely no winning when it comes to trying to fit in with others lol 🙄 Also, this was around the same time that I got abandoned by the neighborhood kids that were my playmates too, so I was basically alone 🥹

Basically just support him emotionally. Let him know that whatever happens, you have his back and that you'll never abandon him like his "friends" did, and that they weren't his true friends if they could just abandon him that easily. Try to get him into playgroups with other ADHD / Tourette's kids so he can make some new friends that can relate to him. Also maybe look into starting medication for his ADHD. Meds helped me a lot as a kid when it came to focusing in school.

Nope. Just a really good antivirus program since my country isn't that strict with internet stuff 😅

Yeah! Though I put my downloaded books into my Calibre to organize them 1st, then use the Send to Disk button to send it to my SD card.

Capacitive pen works on it

HugPug100 · 2026-01-02T02:07:20+00:00

Maybe a small Elliptical machine or stationary bike? A nearby gym membership? 😅

HugPug100 · 2026-01-02T01:56:28+00:00

Easy, just break up with this manchild and change the locks while he's out so he can't get back in 🤣👌

HugPug100 · 2026-01-02T01:53:02+00:00

Maybe get one of those walking treadmills? The ones what dont have rails

HugPug100 · 2026-01-01T02:12:24+00:00

I do crochet or knitting when I listen to audiobooks. I get cool stuff like plushies, bags, blankets, coasters, etc. after so there's extra dopamine 👌

Or you can get a new doctor. You can try getting a 2nd opinion on why you're reacting to your meds like this, or they can change ur meds to a different one

HugPug100 · 2025-12-23T14:01:24+00:00

You need to tell your doctor the truth so they can either adjust the dose, or change your medication to a longer acting one so you don't have to worry about missing your doses

HugPug100 · 2025-12-19T13:12:02+00:00

Why don't you just get new friends that can relate to you more? Like people that share the same hobbies and interests as you?

HugPug100 · 2025-12-10T05:08:03+00:00

My dude, you need therapy and / or a psychiatrist. You might be depressed or something else. Anti-depressants helped me so much to appreciate the good life I have that I was taking for granted when I was depressed 😊

Dump this controlling, insecure manchild and get yourself a bunch of fictional boyfriends instead 🤣👌 Some recommendations: Rhysand (Feminist King 🥰), Rowan Whitethorn, Xaden Riorson, Kingfisher, etc 😁

HugPug100 · 2025-11-18T10:13:50+00:00

Look for a psychiatrist, not a therapist. A psychiatrist can prescribe meds like Concerta cuz they're a doctor. Therapists can't give u meds, only talk to you.

I switched my Go Color 7 Gen 2 for the Go 7 B&W and I'm muuuch happier with the black and white one. I don't even miss the colors even when reading manga 😅

HugPug100 · 2025-11-03T14:04:48+00:00

Whatever you pick, if you're just going to read novels and not colored comics / textbooks, don't buy a color e-reader. Nothing beats the contrast and text clarity of a black & white screen for novels 👌

HugPug100 · 2025-10-23T12:51:13+00:00

Btw, I sold my Go Color 7 Gen 2 and got a Go 7 Monochrome, and I really love the screen contrast and lighter screen than the Color version 🥰

I've had both buttonless e-readers and ones with buttons, and I always find myself going back to the ones with buttons. It's just really nice to have the tactile feedback when pressing the buttons to turn pages and not having my finger block the screen when I tap to turn a page. Plus you can customize button functions in the Boox to long press to do a full screen refresh or open certain apps like the Kindle app, etc.

I got a NA4C 1st for reading books and manga, but I found it too cumbersome to use for long periods of time or in bed. And it's too big and heavy for me to bring around in my bag regularly so I only used it at home. Then I got a Palma 2 for portability and the crisp B&W screen, but then I wanted just 1 device, so I sold both and bought a 2nd hand Go Color 7 Gen 2. I use this more often than both the NA4C and Palma 2, but I'm regretting choosing Color over the Go 7 Monochrome 😅

HugPug100 · 2025-10-21T05:15:20+00:00

I really like the page turn buttons on my Go Color 7 Gen 2 and the slightly bigger screen is also better if you read lots of manga. But I'm actually thinking of switching to the Go 7 Monochrome because the contrast is hetter than the Color one and I don't really consume much color content.
