I have felt so much safer here and comfortable. I think staying here has been best, both because based url, but also I love having a queer focused space. I feel much less exposed. I know some people might come in, but having a no transphobia policy feels so much better considering the amount of causal transphobia I used to see in some of my communities even if they were meant to be “Safe”. I also love the discussions here and so far feels so much less cliquish and open
This sounds like me so much. I was one of those kids who loved reading and was reading way above my level but couldn’t write for shit. Same with the analog vs digital, doesn’t matter how much I practice it still takes me a solid 30 seconds to do all the “math” in my head to read analog unless I use it regularly. I swear the more I hear from other neurodivergents, the more I go, wait a second…
This is definitely making me go hmm. I am diagnosed with dyslexia (and so many other things), but I struggle so much with math. Weird part is it should have been picked up with testing, then again uh my very obvious autism and ADHD was missed so who knows.
Reading others comments here too helps since I really do struggle with math it feels like trying to juggle. I can do fine with a few, but some concepts just take out everything. It’s to the point where I’m a computer science major, and I dropped down to a Bachelor’s of Arts because I’m trying to avoid math as much as possible (I’m planning on doing web work so less heavy math)
Thank you for this post, maybe this was the last push I needed to see and go research more
I’m so excited since this community inspired me and helped validate my own archiving I’ve been doing. I’m hoping maybe here on Lemmy I can try to be more active since was always overwhelms on Reddit
