What are the differences between ASD and ADHD, and some distinct aspects of the latter so I can understand if it could be affecting me?
  • Thank you for your thoughtful reply, I really appreciate your perspective!

    Many of the signs/symptoms of ADHD and ASD are things I struggle with if not daily, then weekly. But I know that there's a lot of crossover between the two, so it can be difficult to decipher, even for professionals at times. Especially when you throw in other mental health and learning difficulties, lol. So just knowing what's actually causing what would be helpful in dealing with it.

    I wouldn't care to try meds at this time, but I think it would help with how I'm perceived in certain situations (like accomodations at work).

  • How do you do schedules?
  • I was telling my husband about how someone was managing their working memory issues with planners, apps, etc. And he kinda side-eyed and raised an eyebrow and I said "of course, that would require me keeping up to date with the planners and following through," and he was all uhh-huh, that's what I thought. 🤣😅😭

  • For those unmedicated, how do you manage?
  • Thanks, I'll look into it! I really struggle with food, and cooking is way too much effort for something I'm not going to like eating, lol. Breakfast being especially hard for me, liquid meals would be a lifesaver.

  • For those unmedicated, how do you manage?
  • I've been considering this. I'd love to drink my meals, but I don't really like smoothies and I'm weird about tastes, so I'm hesitant to try anything like Huel. What's the flavor like? Can you taste that it's a health supplement?

  • Does anyone at Hogwarts ever eat snacks?
  • Maybe. But I, myself, would never ask for special treatment from an organization/event when it's not an allergy. I don't even like asking restaurants for alterations. My mom used to make my school lunch nearly every day all the way through high school because I would only eat the pizza and Italian dunkers from the school, nothing else.

    I've gotten used to being hungry, honestly.

  • Does anyone at Hogwarts ever eat snacks?
  • Absolutely nothing that was listed in the books is something that I will eat. Potlucks and bbqs suck for me, food-wise. I always eat before I go anywhere that is providing food, or I bring my own food.

  • Spinning wheel on beehaw

    How do I know the status of my beehaw account? I applied on the 14th and haven't gotten an email telling me either way, and when I try to log in using either my username or email, I just get the spinning wheel. If I click "forgot password" I get an email to reset it, but I still get the spinning wheel. Should I keep waiting?

    Should I be jumping on the F-Droid bandwagon?

    Hi. I have just become aware of F-Droid. Is this something I should be looking into or downloading? What are the cons to doing so? Is it bad/dangerous in any way?

    How do I see different posts on the "front page"?

    Or the "home page" or whatever it's called here. I have tried different sortings, but all the top results are the same as they were the last two days. Each sort ( all active / all hot / subscribed active / subscribed hot) gives different results, but it's the same results for the past two days now. Am I doing something wrong? It's very frustrating, because I've already read and interacted with those posts, and I have to keep scrolling forever to find stuff I haven't seen yet.

    When I sort by "new" I get new posts, but none of them have anyone to interact with or reply to, since they're new. I'm okay being among the first to comment, but I'm here looking for interaction. I like reading other people's takes/opinions on things, and I enjoy having conversations. I can comment on multiple new posts without getting any interaction.

    Does anyone at Hogwarts ever eat snacks?

    I know there's candies and whatnot, but what if you're hungry at 3pm? If you go into the great hall and sit down, would food appear? How would I get a snack at 9am? Do they have like... Wizard Goldfish crackers? Like maybe giant squid crackers, lol. I'm rarely hungry at "meal times" so Hogwarts might be a problem for me.
