    This of how inattention manifests in ADHDers: "[o]ften fails to give close attention to details or makes careless mistakes in schoolwork, at work, or during other activities" explains my past downfall with math, and frustration with me being "smart" but always making small inattention mistakes that would give me B+/- grades which I hated so much...

    Didn't know that DMS-5-TR was a thing, my hatred for the DSM-5 has subsided, and the Text Revision has left me sad and speechless since it doesn't appear professionals here have updated to the broader more accurate information that the DSM-5-TR stipulates... T-T

    Lessons in Chemistry is such a comforting show, from Elizabeth and Calvin being two obviously autistic coded characters to the information you learn about chemistry literally and figuratively from her healthier relationship with Calvin (than most depictions of relationships in fiction). Can’t believe they only were able to make one season!!

    It's based on the novel of the same name. I heard it's just as good, but the first few chapters are difficult to get through, so I am hesistant to read it.

    I just remembered that I used to suck my fingers until I was 9, which my mom hated but it soothed me and made me feel less hungry. Although, that memory still feels so foreign, it's weird to think of how many signs there was but I just didn't think about things like that...

    Honestly the worst thing doesn’t seem to be the interpersonal social stigma but the intrapersonal stigma with having to accept being disabled even as a concept, it feels like admitting it, means I’ve given up on smt… idk what.
    Like I have difficulties that no matter what I can only manage not remove but it feels like “being disabled” is like throwing yourself at the wolf here especially alone as I technically am.

    I have never considered myself disabled and anyone else that thinks so usually ends up quite surprised, but at the same time now that I have a formal diagnosis I'm not afraid of using it where it gives me advantages.

    I don’t know how much I can do and ask of people since I don’t have a formal diagnosis. Just thinking about all the little helpful things I could include in my routine to help with overstimulation and financial problems as I get the gov ASD benefits makes me hopeful but also nervous.

    A formal diagnosis doesn't matter in any way here. Either the things we say click with you and help you, or they don't.

    I was looking at sound cancellation devices the other day and saw that you can also get soft silicone earbuds specifically designed for side sleepers. They're not noise cancelling though, they're just white noise or regular music playback.

    I have slept with headphones, and it does improve the quality of sleep.

    Here's a picture of the ones I have. If you like them, you could use the image search on Amazon to find them or similar ones 🙂 They are pretty cheap.
