Is ADHD over diagnosed?
  • I agree with you.

    I think argueing if adhd might be over or under diagnosed makes adulds feel even more ashamed.

    I also don't like blaming self diagnosis. Women having a hard time finding professionell help, cause they never fit into stereotypical adhd behaivor. They seen as overreacting and emotional.

  • MONTAG, MONTAG - Laberfaden 8
  • Ich hatte ein langes Wochenende und konnte die Sonne genießen. War schwimmen, bin Roller gefahren und hatte leckeres Essen. Ich habe sogar ein Bild malen können 😊

    Mein Freund ist Samstag zu seinen Eltern nach Köln gefahren und wollte Sonntag Morgen zurückkommen. Aber das viel ins Wasser: immer wieder sind Personen ins Gleis bei Mühlheim gelaufen. Nach 2 Stunden kam endlich ein Zug, die Strecke wurde freigegeben, er setzt sich rein und dann die Nachricht "Strecke wird wieder gesperrt. Die gleiche Person scheint wieder am Gleis rumzulaufen...".

    Wir waren ziemlich mit den Nerven am Ende. Die Zugführer auch. Haben dann den Sonntag Videospiele gezockt.

  • What hobby seems fascinating to most people but is actually boring if you dive into it?
  • I add: reading the rulebooks/ description of the ttrpg world. The rules are dry to read and the flauvor is often vague. Often i read and can't remember the stuff seconds later 😆

    What is also boring af are discussions with players, who are no historians, but say "this fantasy setting is sooo authentic middle age!".

  • A Century of “Shrill”: How Bias in Technology Has Hurt Women’s Voices
  • I am agreeing with you. I use TS or discord for years for ttrogs, but always had the problem, that my high voice is cut of by the programms. It's frustrating to figure out how to change that and finding a solution that sounds nice.

    As always: if men would have these problems, it would be fixed in a short time.

    I was always ashamed of my voice and thought i could not create potcasts, Videos or everything else voice based. I thought noone would like my voice. One day a stranger came up to me and told me i sound like daisy duck, while talking to a friend... 😒

  • Leaked Zoom all-hands: CEO says employees must return to offices because they can't be as innovative or get to know each other on Zoom
  • You have totaly a point there.

    I am working in cultural heritage, so creating bounds that last over jobs is crucial. Who are you on good terms with? Who has a strong opinion on topic x? Who could help you with that non profit project? Who can you take seriosly and who is a scammer?

    Working with these kind of people can be so amazing.

    But cultural heritage is passion driven, a lot of ways to burn out in that feld or do unpaid work. The silent war against big companies is hard.

  • Was Christian Lindner über Kinderarmut nicht versteht
  • Ich mag die Idee, einen Teil des Geldes als reale Unterstützung für das Kind jetzt zu haben, und einen anderen Teil in einen Ausbildungspott zu legen. Mit Zinsen und allem, was das Geld erhöht.

    So dass am Ende eine Summe dabei raus kommt, mit der ein Kind seine Ausbildung/ sein Studuim selbstbestimmt stemmen kann.

    Aber ich vergesse wieder, dass wir keine Kinder von armen Leuten mögen... bin keine gute neoliberale person :/

  • If I hear "we all get distracted sometimes" one more time...
  • One point to keep in mind: a lot of people are not educated to know these kind of things. In my country we tell our kids to function and blame them when they don't function. It set an impossible high standart on very young people. But it is a relique from germanys problematic past, where people where only seen as Instruments.

    I like to read neurodivergent content, because it gives me a much better insight in how the brain works. The content does not judge you and it does not blame you. This is appealing to people, who only start to realize how horrible the've been raised.

    I would argue to work together to chance a system, that does not support human as diverse as they are.

  • How do I avoid becoming a crotchety old man? I’m seriously asking.
  • I might understand how you feel. Opening up is a good first step. But after that? I don't know. What steps to take and how long your path will be... no one knows.

    Whenever anxiety tries to take controll of me... whenever i am angry at my own progress, i think about a little story:

    A man takes a morning-walk on the beach. During the night there was a terrible storm, spreading tousands of seastars over the sand. He sees a woman trying to bring the seastars back to the water.

    He walk up to her and asks: "why are you even doing this? You will just save a few, but the majority will die when the sun rises."

    She bend down to pick one seastar up and throws it into the ocean. "Maybe. But this one i have saved."

    Changing is hard and often feels pointless. The only thing we can do is doing things step by step.

  • New Jersey Supreme Court rules in favor of Catholic school that fired a teacher for having premarital sex
  • This is not a legal passage. It is violating your autonomie and is highly discriminating. Why do i have to explain that in 2023..?

    You can sign a contract with problematic passages. Your signing doesn't make illigal stuff legal. And you don't agree with illigal stuff just by signing. It is the same with rental agreements or other contracs.

    The lore protects people from abuse of power and arbitrariness.

  • Georgia school board fires teacher for reading a book to students about gender identity
  • Same with my younger sibling. It was very obvios early in their life, but we didn't had words for it either. Didn't understand and didn't took it that serious.

    I had my period with 11 years, but suffered till i was 30. Cause it was a tabu to talk about that. I need to Suffer, i was told. BS.

    It is crucial to give kids knowledge that they are not wrong. That they are not weird. That they know everything is okay and their parents are here guiding them. AND they need to know that other people are not weird so they can learn empathy.

  • Don't let him see you cry.
  • Thank you 🥰

    When it comes to japanese food, Düsseldorf is really great. Cause i studied there i know some good Restaurants and supermarkets 😆 but i take recomondations all around nrw.

    i really want to taste spicy indian food or try other asian food, that is not so common here 🤔

    My best friend visited south korea a few years ago. She never liked spicy food, but said it was so good there, she now likes this stuff.

  • Relatable
  • Mindwandering while conversation/ sex was always annoying to me. I never understood why i am doing this and how to turn it off, cause "everyone else seems to get it right" and they made me feel bad for it.

    It is importaint to talk about these stuff and reach out to people, who feel the same way.
