In this video oliSUNvia goes deep into neurodivergence, the western ideas about mental health and the expectations and assumption this brings about people, their brains and how things should or should not be in society.

A very good watch!

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.

Thoughts? Tricks? Wisdom? I'm all ears.

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.

We are tired of seeing people target those with 'cluster b' personality 'disorders' and even those of us who are plural.

So making the rules explicit that that kind of ill informed hate (or just hate in general) to specific neurodivergences isn't acceptable would go a long way to quelling this absolutely disgusting and unacceptable wave of armchair psychologists, conspiracy theorists and other undesirables.

Thanks for reading.

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

I see stimming as a way to self-overload some sensory system to drown out uncontrollable sensory input.

How do you think this fits your understanding and/or experience of stimming?

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

If like me you're hyper sensitive to touch and disorganised I really recommend reading this post by resident fashionista @okokimup@lemmy.world The app is great and helps you plan outfits, see what works etc. Her post is detailed and explains it well, she's a trusted poster and not affiliated just uses it, and she's happy to answer questions.
