  • Honestly, I’m not overly worried about it. If I do and got a diagnosis, it might help bring a little more understanding, but the ADHD explains most of my problems (and strengths). lol. So I’ll probably continue to waffle a bit.

    But knowing my wife has it for sure helps. We’ve definitely made some adjustments that just make sense now.

    My dad almost certainly has ADHD but never got a diagnosis. In his case, it’s more like my possible autism - if he does have ADHD which we’re all (including him) pretty convinced, he managed to mask / cope well enough throughout his life - a diagnosis seems like a “whatever why bother”.

    Sorry to spend all this time talking about myself, it’s ADHD verbosity. But I find everyone else as interesting as myself, too! :)

    Speaking of which, your comment made me smile. No matter the exact mix of stuff, it does seems like a lot of us find each other, one way or another. lol. That’s why my wife and I married - half a decade before our diagnosis - because we were the only people laughing at each others’ jokes. lol




  • Hmm. Well, that gives me things to consider. lol.

    I don’t think I have any clothing issues, except I must have a shirt pocket. That used to be less true, but I highly preferred one most of my adult life because I bucked the “uncool” trend and liked having a pocket protector for my pens. Then I got glasses, and having a shirt pocket was necessary for that. Now I’m a wheelchair users and pockets on shorts/pants are unusable, so shirt pockets are a must. Although I’ve always tended to buy mulitples of something I found that works because it works and was consistent. heh.

    Food touching is generally not a thing I tolerate. Much less mixing food. lol. I mean, something like biscuits and gravy or rice and beans is one thing, but I see people make things like “thanksgiving sandwiches” and I can’t do that. I want to enjoy each thing for what it is. And preferably not mixed. I will gladly use multiple bowls to help ensure that does not happen. lol.

    But none of that (except I think the food touching was the single exception) seemed to pop up on the assessment tests I was doing. lol.

    Blast. I thought I’d laid this one to rest. lol





  • Eh. I have severe ADHD, as does my wife. We both got diagnosed at age 30. At age 50, she added autism.

    I’ve felt for years like folks on the spectrum are if not my neurosiblings, certainly my neurocousins, if that makes sense. So I started looking at the screening stuff and reading up on it. I score very very high on the social aspects, but like zero on the hobby/obsession and food/texture aspects… so I’m pretty sure I don’t.

    But I did kinda obsess about it for quite a while. heh.




  • What percentage do you think accounts for that? Sure, some instances, but the largest absolutely are indatacenters.

    But it’s a distraction. You ready to grow your own food? Immediately? Because losing datacenters means losing credit/debit cards. No cash because banks can’t connect to each other. No deliveries to stores. Society would literally fucking collapse.

    But all these fucking idiots can do is ignorantly chant “destory all datacenters” because they don’t fucking know what they’re talking about.
