The world had gone mad. Utterly mad.
I mean, I’ve got the whole “is a bit insane” diagnosis and even then … this whole “venerate the dead Nazi” thing is beyond batshit even for me.

Obvious when you realise!
@marlies And look up its systemic name on Wikipedia having taken loads of it.
Anyway, very fond of it
In today’s episode of “Insights From Alpha Methylphenethylamine”, comes the realisation of how two ADHDers communicating, especially if they like each other, will dance around the usually unspoken elephant in the room, RSD, in a way that usually never specifically acknowledges it.
If they don’t like each other, it may get weaponised. This is the ADHD equivalent of “mean girls” behaviour.
This is not a subpost.

ADHD brains really are built differently – we've just been blinded by the noise
A new study significantly strengthens the case that attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder brains are structurally unique, thanks to a new scanning technique known as traveling-subject method. It isn't down to new technology – but better use of it.Bronwyn Thompson (New Atlas)

You know how neurotypical people talk about how they make and hold eye contact?
It’s a lie. They do no such thing. I can do it on ADHD meds and if you don’t look away it really freaks them out.

I’m on a tiny instance and don’t always see all comments so maybe this has been answered already.
IIRC, it’s not so much about •staring• into someone else’s eyes, but about the patterns with which NT and ND people scan faces. What parts we look at and when, in which order, and how often etc. That’s usually intuitive, and those patterns differ.
So when I talk to some NT person, they feel I’m kind of strange, or even dishonest. They may not even realise why they feel it, or they may think I’m avoiding to look at them the way they instinctively expect.
And when I talk to other autistics or auDHD people, I feel more comfortable around our interaction as well. So it goes both ways, of course.

Last year Zoe and I commenced operation “Oui Oui Baguette” to move our boat, Scarlet, from Gosport to La Rochelle in France. This was interrupted by a small engine fire which left us stranded in the Brittany port of Quiberon over winter to make repairs.
Anyway, we moved the boat to La Rochelle a month ago. Today we commence “Operation Churro”. We plan to leave La Rochelle shortly and in a single leg of 36-40 hours in the Bay of Biscay arrive at Hendaye on the French/Spanish border.
The orcas were attacking boats in this area about a month ago but since then seem to have moved west and are now heading south from Galicia to Lisboa so we should be safe from them (fingers crossed). Weather looks ok. We will probably be motoring for the first part with the hope we can sail from later today.

At some point in the last 4 months since starting ADHD meds the state I regard as normal has swapped over.
I’m currently in the post medicated state and I feel like some confused scared shadow of a person terrified of her own emotions which she doesn’t understand and bemused by the world.
This used to be who I was all the time.
That’s a lot to come to terms with.

So what’s it like being on amphetamine?
Well it’s a lot like being on HRT except you’d have to detransition every day before bed.
Racing Thoughts In ADHD & How To Calm Them
Imagine your mind is like a web browser with dozens of tabs open, all playing videos or music at the same time. For many people with ADHD, this is what everyday thinking feels like.Olivia Guy-Evans, MSc (Simply Psychology)

@Valdus With some more exploration, timing the stimulants to run out just before bed, IF I then actually go to bed. Too long and not only do I lose the executive function to go to bed, the racing thoughts start up and keep me awake.
However, there's a nice little cheat mode to get round this that I've discovered, which I like to call, "a bedtime double espresso"
I’m having a custom corset made because I’m worth it. Went for the fit test of the mockup today (the final thing is a sumptuous red with black lace detail).
Anyway, she’s gonna take it in another 2-3cm at the waist and give me more push up in the bust.
Exciting!
Me? I don't know how up you are on things ooop North.... I could talk about my wonderful partner @psotle , our travels and adventures, finding a job that feels *right*, we had a second cat for a few months...
I'll settle for life is good, I'm in a good place and really exciting adventure to come later this year ☺️

Selfies. One medicated, one unmedicated.
I feel like I’m leading a weird dual existence. Not two people but one person who has a consistent personality but two very different ways of being.
It’s so odd.

I honestly did not expect starting ADHD meds to result in me seriously considering almost completely giving up alcohol.
Almost seems a shame. Whatever. Gotta move on.
@Alexa Devreux-Swift I was mostly using it to relax.
But it’s kinda crap at that compared to amphetamine.
So, bit of a problem and it’s a nice problem to have, but still a problem.
The ADHD meds are working better than I’d dared hope.
I’m almost functionally neurotypical on them.
I have no neurotypical socialisation though. I’m a neurodiverse person cosplaying but not masking. Ok. Bit odd. Whatever.
Pretty much all of my friends are neurodiverse.
This appears to be fine amongst the ones who are ADHD and medicated.
The ones who aren’t though; I really need to stop making eye contact because I think I’m freaking them out.
Sorry everyone x
ADHD meds are dangerous! They cause hypertension! You must not take them! - some wankers.

The green line marks the point I started amphetamines. It doesn’t make a lot of difference.
