Neurodivergence

I saw that this app Tiimo won app of the year from Apple. I hadn’t heard of it before but it looks pretty nice. Unfortunately, it’s iOS/web only so don’t work for me on Android. However, I’m curious if folks here have tried it or have other apps they really recommend?

I’m so high I managed to make myself a cup of tea without spilling any tea leaves or water. And after realizing the immense amount of concentration that took that I could only achieve while high, I think I can safely give up on the idea of not being messy someday.

Hey all, I’m trying really hard to get better at playing the piano, but it has always been difficult for me. I end up relying way too much on my ear and muscle memory, which gets me fairly far, but then I get lost in my own thoughts and have no idea where I am / how to recover if I make a mistake. It feels like the better I get at playing something, the more susceptible I am to completely biffing it because I got there by relying on my crutches instead of actually processing it the way (I think?) it’s supposed to be learned, if that makes sense. I can read music and all that, but between the attention span and the hand eye coordination issues, I start to glaze over the actual notes on the page. Any good pianists with ADHD? Any tips? I know slow and steady is the main thing, but the glazing over makes that so hard to manage. Maybe I just need to accept that this will always be difficult for me, but I would love to hear others’ perspectives. (Also this community seems pretty dead, so if there are any more active non-meme ADHD communities that Beehaw federates with, please point me in the right direction!)

It was bad enough at 21 to learn that my birth father was an alcoholic. You know, after the first suicide attempt.

Hello all!

Is there one that effects you more than other?

It's a bit different for everyone

Hey all, I have ADHD and insomnia! I've tried some things, but, I'm really hoping someone has advice on how to keep a schedule. I always end up slipping around until I have to do some kind of grueling "all-dayer" or something to put myself back on track.

We have seen an inordinate amount of hate recently to 'non acceptable' neurodivergences here and other places on lemmy and would really like it if it be explicitly in the rules here that that isn't acceptable.

The other day I tried to talk about stimming and I just formulated the following idea:

I'm horribly noise sensitive and sometimes light. But the noise really gets me!

My one... the Titanic didn't get all their lifeboats out. A problem they had was that crew were used to putting lifeboats in the water then people in the boats... these ones you filled and then had to lower inexperienced passengers 70 feet into the sea. In pitch black.

People tend to focus on the negative but there's so many "symptoms" we have that are brilliant! What are yours?
