Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

If you can't remember an idea while taking a shower, see a neurologist.
If that doesn't work, see a plumber.
... who can fix brain leaks?
In your place I'd be tempted to notice the negative reaction this comment got (the most in this thread by far) and see it as an invitation to widen your understanding of neurodivergence. A lot of neurodivergent people struggle with feelings of being "broken" that they may have experienced for a whole lifetime. It's only very recently that a global conversation about neurodivergence based on understanding rather than shaming has started to happen. Your comment, perhaps unwittingly, hit a nerve. Ironically, it also potentially displayed markers for neurodivergence, in the sense that you weren't able to anticipate the feelings it would manifest. If you are "one of us" I hope you have a helpful journey of discovery ahead of you and people who can support you through it 🙂
I'll say the same as I said above, but without the humor:
Look at Mr. Neurotypical here! 🖕
