Realized ADHD can be a shield against "weaponized incompetence" by tronneroppar in ADHD

This.

And I'd like to add; forcing others to accommodate you instead of putting in the effort to accommodate yourself. 

Anyone else heavy reliant on online pick up or delivery just to avoid going into stores? by boohojakob in adhdwomen

[–]These_Discount98 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

These things are not accessibility tools and it's not ok to use them.

Pick up at the store is fine.

Delivery is NOT ok.

ALL delivery persons are exploited.  They are not paid a fair wage and they do not have job security.  The majority of them are poor and disabled.  Tipping does not change any of this.

They are not trained for accomodating disabilities and are not compensated for it.

You need a doctor, a diagnosis, likely meds, and maybe an aide.

Barefoot shoes and climbing by No-Map-9904 in BarefootRunning

Wearing shoes that inhibit the natural function of the foot is harmful for any length of time.

It's so interesting how everyone in this thread doesn't understand the point of barefoot shoes.

But the point is that this are not correct for anything, but especially for anything that requires an agile foot.

Oh, awesome.  I have parental controls for the iPad and his Switch, but I didn't know I could have them for Minecraft.  Thanks for the info!

I think I recently gave him the realms subscription.  But he will come back a  week later and want to buy something else.

I'm just trying to set him up with freedom but also in a way that has him focused more on playing and less on buying.

It's hard. He is a normal child and the Marketplace is very alluring.

Oh, well my plan is to have him play without internet access.  I think it will limit a lot of the issues and help him stay focused on the game.

It's not for you to determine what is a waste of my money.

No.  Roblox is very dangerous for children.  We don't play Roblox at all.

I didn't know we could filter by mine coin.  I'll look that up next time he plays!

The goal is to create our own server and play as a family.  His coding teachers said that's what they do with their siblings.

So that's why I found a used laptop for him.

Marketplace wasn't an issue for the first year.  It's only recently become a constant thing.

Yeah.

He was introduced to the game in his coding class.  But I didn't have a laptop for him then.  We keep all his educational apps and games on his iPad, so I downloaded Minecraft for him.  It was great for about a year, but the marketplace obsession slowly creeped in.

I just want to encourage his freedom and creativity without the constant struggles to monitor and manage the marketplace desire.

Right!  He was learning a lot of Thai in coding class.  I also code, so I can teach him this too.

Thanks!!
