That is a very unempathetic stance to take. A little upsetting to see this here.

But theres an ADHD and an auDHD comm, and maybe the other .5 would like to see posts they can relate to

[–] Droggelbecher@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

That's true but not at all what you said in the post. But thanks for clarifying here!

I could also go on about what I think is harder or easier to read, but that's neither here nor there. The post claims there is/are a font or fonts that were specifically created with the intention to be harder to read for the disabled, and I want to know whether that's true.

Quite interesting, but doesn't speak to the creation of fonts specifically to make reading harder for the disabled. It even says evidence that Calibri is easier isn't conclusive. Doesn't say anything about whether any font was created to make reading easier or harder for anyone.

Ya got a source on that? Sounds interesting

You should meet the maths majors who aren't really interested in maths but think a maths degree will allow them to become hedge fund managers or similar

Oh absolutely, I'm glad we're not doing that. I don't get why there's so few statistical studies, like 'people who have been using (e.g.) chewing tobacco have x health stat compared to y in the general population'. It's frustrating, especially with how many young people are using snus and vapes in recent years. It's tough to make informed health decisions when the information is hard to come by.

I know and like that! Just wouldn't want the people it's made for to feel left out

Random question and not meant to be a criticism. Also not directed at just you or just this post. Why is there so many ADHD-specific posts that don't relate to autism? I have both, so I relate, but what about non-adhd autistic folks?

Btw for the capsaicin thing. It's one of the going theories for why warmer places all around earth tend to traditionally eat much spicier foods than colder places. Food spoils faster in the heat, and the spice both masks the spoilt taste and can help, or is thought to help, cleanse you of parasites.

(I know spicy plants don't grow in colder places, too, but the tendency holds for colder regions that would have had access to hot plants)

Just curious, is this true for smokeless tobacco too? I mean not the tar bit obviously, just the paralysing.

 

Fast alles, was ich dort kaufe, führt die deutschsprachige Zutatenliste unter 'AT/CH' auf. Hat mich nur mal milde interssiert.

 

With other neurodivergents, I feel like we explain what we mean in more detail. If not that, the other one recognizes the lacking detail, asks about it, and it gets cleared up.

When I talk to neurotypicals, or read or hear them discuss among themselves, this doesn't happen as much. When I ask, it's often seen as rude.

Here's some examples of what I mean:

There's a lot of ackshually, x is a fruit/berry/not a berry/ etc. When in fact, the terms each have two definitions: a culinary one and a botanical one. A strawberry is a berry in the culinary sense, but not the botanical one. A tomato is a fruit in the botanical sense, but not the culinary one. Ive repeatedly been called a know-it-all for bringing this up, and ironically usually by the person correcting others by saying, eg., a tomato is a fruit.

'Do(n't) you trust me?' I may 100% trust your intentions, but I don't 100% trust your judgment. This has nothing to do with you; I never 100% trust anyone's judgment, including my own. This happens the other way around, too, when I ask someone for feedback about a decision I'm making, and they say they trust me and thus won't give input. Like, thank you for trusting my intentions, but I don't want you to blindly trust my judgment. That's why I'm asking for feedback.

Another one is respect. Sometimes, to respect someone means to accept them as an authority figure, and sometimes it means to treat them with basic human dignity. It's hardly ever specified which it is.

I could go on here, so please feel free to add your own, I'm curious!

Do you also find this to be an issue with as well as among neurotypicals or am I way off here? Thanks for you replies!

 

And what language and region is it?

I've noticed my language teacher uses the informal you in one language and the formal one in the other.

 
 

I can sew and darn, and knit from scratch, but I've never re-knit a hole before.

 

I'm so bored of just watching shows, but I'm kind of out of ideas of what else to do when I'm tired (usually about half the day, sometimes al day). I don't even have any one super debilitating disease, but I have like a dozen small things going on that kind of rule everything out.

Hand-to-elbow tendonitis keeps me from what I used to enjoy that doesn't require a lot brain power (drawing, gaming and sewing). I know tendonitis is supposed to resolve more or less on its own, but it's been five years and I have no reason to believe it'll go away at this point.

Socializing drains me, I have to do it in small doses.

I used to run, but I have arthritis iny knees now. I swim for exercise, but that's not relaxing at all, because the pool is sensorily overstimulating. I'm actually only supposed to do low intensity exercising for cardiovascular reasons. But I put up with it because of how much it benefits my mental health.

I also have endocrine orbitopathy, and reading often makes me too aware of the pain in my eyes. I tried audiobooks, but I have ADHD and can't keep attention at all when I'm just listening to something.

I love to hike, but I'm kinda scared to get back into it because I need to be close to a bathroom, and that's kinda putting me off.

So, what do you do to unwind? For fun? Not even necessarily looking for advice, I'd just love a chat with people who have similar struggles.

 

In case you were wondering how media in different countries assess the US' situation, one of Austria's most read newspaper did a cover story on the Kirk assassination, describing it as the US edging closer to civil war. Apologies that it's in German, I've translated the title at least.

 

I realise there's zero posts in this com but figured I'd try. Wanted to censor their handle, but it's the cherry on top of the comment.

 
 

Routine for reference:

AM: rinse, sunscreen (that online moisturisers enough) PM: cleanse, sometimes BHA (tried varying the frequency), retinol, moisturise

I've become frustrated because I still get clogged pores, every single pore on and beside my nose is black, my entire chin is white gooey pores. So I eased off and put the BHA and retinol on hiatus, and the painful cystic pimples came back, along with even more clogged pores. I really need them gone to keep me from picking at my skin.

So, anyone else been there?

Anyone got any tips? Yes, I wash my pillowcases, sleep enough, drink enough (if anything too much) water, eat well.

 

I have no idea how I fucked up and had this compressed so much, it's OC and still ended up this blurry

 

Hey fellow enbies!

Does anyone here have experience with binders? Specifically, do they permanently alter the shape of your chest? I like my naked body and view is as gender neutral, but I'd like to be READ as more neutral while wearing clothes sometimes. So I want to bind in a way that won't alter how my naked body looks. What's your experience with that?

Thanks!
