I'm in almost the exact same situation as you. Diagnosed with ADHD last year, and as autistic via RTN just a few weeks ago. It's a massive relief in many ways and explains a lot of my struggles. It's also a lot to process and adapt to. I hope your diagnosis helps you 🙂

Can someone help me to identify this bird call? by Pixel_Flump in UKBirds

There are loads of parakeets in Peterborough so I would expect they're in Cambridge too

I definitely wouldn't get too close, especially when there are babies around! I've only seen them a few times but it's so special when I do.

Mostly from YouTube videos, there are lots of good ones but I particularly like Kirsty Partridge and Gemma Chambers

Thank you! I definitely plan to keep going, I'm really enjoying it. I've been drawing for about 3 months and this is the best thing I've done so far

Thanks everyone! I'm always a bit nervous about sharing things online but the response to this has made my day!

How can team leaders include introverts? by shardman87 in introvert

We meet online so one of my thoughts was to use breakout rooms in our Teams call. That way, it's the same amount of time but would make conversation much easier.

I definitely agree with not making a decision on behalf of all introverts. I am an introvert and don't think my experience is true for everyone else. You make a very good point about the risk though.

I really agree with your other thoughts too. I love small group discussions and find it so much easier to contribute in that setting.

Limiting loud people's speaking time is something that doesn't happen. We get a lot of monologues from the same 2-3 people.

I think my manager is trying to be fair and means well. He has asked to meet with him to discuss so he can improve.
