No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Have you ever been checked for autism or adhd? Common symptoms for me include that im not in tune with my bodys "hunger" meter. I often forget to eat or dont eat enough, and as such the first real sign of hunger i get is when i start getting dizzy and it becomes hard to move. Could also be from not having enough food growing up, so my body stopped producing the "hungry" signal.
FYI autism diagnosis usually makes it much more difficult to emigrate if you ever decide to so its not exactly a good thing to get a diagnosis.
But no, I never went spcifically for such a check.
I dont know the laws in your country, but here doctors cant share any info on their patient without consent. I dont know if that would extend to a disagnosis like that, but the idea is that you ask your doctor if they think you are, and then you proceed according to their advice WITHOUT GETTING THE DIAGNOSIS. It would be massively beneficial for you to know yourself, as unchecked both of those can wreck your quality of life if youre not actively looking into coping mechanisms.
Do you feel unexplainably different from your peers? Like everyone else understands some fact of life that you are completely unaware of? Have you had any issues dating? None of that is a guaranteed diagnosis, but if those questions particularly resonate with you or you feel called out then its worth looking into.
I mean, I'm Asian in white-majority country so that's the major difference lol. But other than that, I don't think so.
Like what for example?
I never had the urge to date, perhaps kinda asexual/aromantic
Usually in immigration, how it works is YOU HAVE TO TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT EVERYTHING. So if they ask: "have you ever been diagnosed with any mental illnesses?" (I'm not saying that they do ask, but if they ask), you have to legally disclose it. If they found out you lied, they could revoke everything and deport you
Also btw you know about all the so-called "privacy" stuff? Privacy doesn't really exist when it comes to immigrarion.
Guess what, USCIS can see all medical records, every sealed/expunged criminal records, even juvenile records, even pardoned/overturned cases, and make a decision based on that. I'm assuming this is similar in other countries.
