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

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

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…

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

Damn I would have loved to see that lol. Then again yeah hard to find info. Would be interesting to run surveys since seems like next best way. Like how many queer people know about blahaj and how many have one, and so forth

Its so frustrating finding out about a symptom I’m struggling with, and I try to look it up and its all aimed at kids. Even if its all targeted at kids, those kids will grow up and become adults, and still have the same issues and I don’t understand why.

I think you’re right with the whole grow out of it thing. It fundamentally won’t for any of my ND stuff, I will just get better over time at managing, but its hard to do that when there’s no support. It’s like the phrase “stop making autism your whole personality”, no I cannot do that because fundamentally it affects everything.

TLDR: I agree and I hate how resources are aimed at NTs despite the fact that we are autonomous adults, and even then kids need to feel like you understand and aren’t just talking at them.

This is stupid lol but I hope someone makes a circlejerk. Not a Denver person (still in CO) but I enjoy reading here, + you all tend to post state news more often seriously is helpful

Adding on I think something else is going on since I cannot see my own posts on my profile, but I can see my comments fine. I’ve tried resetting the languages and saving the settings to English and Undetermined, but still can’t see it. If I log out or go to the link directly I can see it fine
