I would say foremost: strong opinions and idealism (very much correlated to ASD and ADHD) E.g. about the fucked up state of centralized social media controlled by right-wing billionaires.
Always when I talk to other people I don’t suspect to be neurodivergent, they just don’t really care about it, convenience is the driving factor.
I mean for me both works (Ritalin just is a lot shorter and more up and downs, generally less effective).
Though, I’m indeed prescribed Elvanse it’s basically the hyperfocus drug IME (YMMV).
I’m really productive with it (I’m a passionate programmer, which probably helps), but sometimes well a little bit too productive (burning through complex problems for > 10 hours the day, sometimes completely ignoring other stuff I should be doing as well, and am somewhat exhausted after somehow escaping that hyperfocus, or finishing the issue). As I got “smarter” through it and like a learn a lot, I’ll just accept this as a net-positive effect, I have to deal with.
But I have more control over what I’m hyperfocusing at (as I’m less likely bored and distacted), and try to “focus” this on issues that deserve this hyperfocus.
I mean, I think the count of neurodiverse people on lemmy is likely very high (for various reasons). And since it’s highly genetically correlated, likely also the grandparents.
Have you tried meds (stims specifically) ? That significantly increased my productive hyperfocus phases.
Keep in mind there’s a strong correlation between ASD and ADHD. So that could just be the ADHD side of things.
Additionally use Kawase-Blur with a lot of blurring, and this is a non-issue.
I mean I can certainly imagine, why.
But this feels so strange, reading as European…
good god if this place isn’t unfunny as hell
I think c/lemmyshitpost quite funny, at least the posts itself, not sure about the comment-section…
leads to me getting exceedingly riled up by politics
Fair enough I think it’s also way to overloaded with the depressing evolution of american politics…
it will work for 99,9% without any flaw
Unfortunately not anymore.
And it doesn’t help, that Mozilla is also slowly turning towards enshittification… (since they fired all servo devs…)
Right, but you can also create accounts on different instances, so not really protected. Actually I think it’s very difficult to really filter bots when they’re done right, especially in times where LLMs start to be increasingly more popular.
Yeah though I think it’s a little bit too political at times. I get it, Trump and Musk is destroying the USA from within, but I don’t need to read about it in every second post…
My fear is that, if lemmy gets too successful, that regarding bots the same fate may occur.
The (d/m)ental decline in the US is real…
Yeah I’m actually slightly annoyed that while the first presidency we haven’t cooled that much and prepared ourselves to be less dependent on the US.
But I think now it’s pretty clear, "Trump"s USA is not something we (as europeans) can rely on anymore. Repeating the error twice should be more than enough to come to that conclusion, it was blatantly obvious that something like this could happen (seemingly not for a lot of americans, it’s almost comical to see something like “LeopardsAteMyFace”). Though I’m still a little bit surprised at what speed Trumps administration is able to disassemble the US…
Yes, indeed. But it can definitely help improving mental-health non-the-less…
Trump and Musk certainly is…
Well, I think forbes is maintaining a well known list, here’s his entry, which should give you some info about the source of his wealth: https://www.forbes.com/profile/elon-musk/?list=rtb%2F
As usual with billionaires (and actually most people with a significant wealth)
Oh in practice it works quite well for me, basically all my friends and family use Signal now. You can slightly push them towards that, explain the obvious pros, it’s simple to install, so it’s just a small matter of convincing. I only rarely use WhatsApp for some external groups.
Certainly, and as I (suspect) to have AuDHD (ADHD diagnosed).
This combination is really difficult to see/diagnose, as these conditions somewhat cancel each other out. It took me a very hyperfocused deep-dive into all kinds of papers, to slowly come to that conclusion, that ADHD doesn’t explain my behavior alone. AFAIK this is in some regard an active research-area (how correlated are these conditions, are they even the same underlying condition?).
(I think) few psychiatrists really have a deep insight into that (and thus are accurately diagnosing these).
