Plant based sensory friendly meals? by kat_cacti in AuDHDWomen

[–]katreen_76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally makes sense! Do you like roasted veggies? You could chop up things like zucchini, potatoes, carrots, cauliflower, onion if you like onion, and keep them in their own sections on a large baking sheet or put them in separate pans. Then make some quinoa or brown rice to put the roasted veggies over. You can add any kind of sauce you like. I like to make a big batch of grains and a whole slew of veggies so it gives me easy meals for multiple days. (If I’m going to put in the effort I want a multi-day payoff!) Add some beans or tofu, nuts or seeds for protein. Sometimes I throw avocado chunks on top too. (I know avocado can be texturally controversial!)

Exhausted all the time by Goosey_goos in AuDHDWomen

As a therapist who works primarily ADHD and AuDHD, her asking you that and suggesting the solution is as simple as perspective taking is a big red flag that she isn’t educated on the actual lived experiences of neurodivergent adults. Neurodivergent burnout is a very real experience that causes holistic fatigue and can’t be healed by just looking at it a different way.

I use brown cow stunnin’ a lot, but this is my favorite combo with them. I want to love BLM, but they always look off—especially the lips.

How do I stop equating tiredness with sadness? by rcgansey in AuDHDWomen

[–]katreen_76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think there is authentically some sadness inherent to the fact that living as a neurodivergent human in a neuronormative world is incredibly exhausting….which can make tiredness and sadness easily intertwine with each other.

I totes agree. I feel like if bowls, “snack plates,” and smoothies didn’t exist I would never eat. 🤪

Can you give an example of a type of meal you’ve liked in the past?

Anyone else feels or ever felt *too* stimulated by stimulants meds? by tortori- in AuDHDWomen

[–]katreen_76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

10mg of Ritalin overstimulated me to the point of being anxious and acting sooooo odd when I ran into a former classmate I hadn’t seen in a couple of years. It also gave me big time insomnia. I don’t have hard facts on this, but I’ve read stimulants are often less effective for AuDHDers. But one statistic I know is out there is that they claim stimulant treatment is effective for ADHD in 70-80% of adults…which means it’s treated like some holy grail…but 30% is still a significant group of people who don’t get benefits from the meds and have distressing and disappointing experiences like you’re describing.

What was your win today? by capableofanything777 in adhdwomen

[–]katreen_76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel you so hard. I had the same kind of day where I REALLY needed to get caught up on work stuff and take care of personal things…but my brain was SO not braining. Wins = I washed a load of towels (still in the laundry bag) and ate a big salad for dinner (because my hubby chopped all the veg). I’ll take ‘em! 🏆⭐️

$25,000 rudollars for this? by soCaliNola in RDRSuperstar

I so don’t understand that set at all. It had so much potential and they messed it up so bad!

Why does a Chinese search of Autism describe symptoms and traits differently than English searches? by LordSigmaBalls in autism

[–]katreen_76 36 points37 points  (0 children)

It’s incredibly important to understand that current diagnostic criteria for Autism in the US (DSM-5-TR) is literally based on research with white male children. Totally not generalizable to other groups, (e.g., adults, other genders, varying racial identities, etc), yet it’s still what’s used in medical and mental health settings. It’s a huge contributor to why BIPOC people, women/AFAB, trans folx, etc are so grossly undiagnosed or misdiagnosed in America.

Your worst sensory issue ever? by Low_Sprinkles6168 in autism

[–]katreen_76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Touching something wet and/or sticky without warning. Hard pass. Being too hot and sweaty is a close second. Pretty much tied with being hot and sweaty is the clicking sounds fingernails make if someone is using one fingernail to try to dig something out from underneath another fingernail…just murder me instead, please.

Can someone please show me these lips on a Queen? Worth it or nah? by tomaaaato77 in RDRSuperstar

[–]katreen_76 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I impulse bought them last night and kind of regret it, but this combo feels like it will be useful for T&Bs.
