Moved to the burbs and need to drive. Didn't have to living all my life in the city. Trying to get a driver's permit and prepping for the exam. My brain hurts with left and right and who has right of way in an intersection. I literally have to squint my eyes to figure it out! Halp!

Ugh, I did (do) struggle with the same issues. I literally do the thing where I make my thumb and forefinger into an L to remember which direction is right and which is left. If you can secretly get away with that during your driving test, I say do it.

Right of way is tough. It’s better to let a few extra people (if, say, at a four way stop) go than to go too early and cause an accident or fail the test. They might ding you a little for hesitating, but they will also take into account you’re learning and hesitancy is normal. If you go too soon, though, they are more likely to reconsider giving you a permit.

Driving is also something that our brains have to work really hard at initially to do right but it becomes easier over time. This is not to say we shouldn’t be paying attention when we drive, but that weird rules like rights of way become a little more intuitive. So don’t feel despondent if you’re “not getting it.” And remember it’s always better to be cautious and wrong than risky and wrong.

Good luck!!!!

Look into binocular vision dysfunction and vertical heterophoria. It’s very common in ADHDers and still fairly new/specialized field. I got prism glasses (with a very tiny correction) after seeing a specialist and it made driving SO MUCH easier and less stressful

My husband does not show affection openly and is quite lazy in bed, and I thought I could deal with it because I love him, but it’s really really beginning to annoy me. For example, he refuses to do any foreplay and basically asks that I get on top of him most of the time when we have have sex- if I push him to do anything else he basically just refuses to have sex at all as some sort of ‘protest’. I am finding myself fantasising about an affair more and more

I once asked a colleague at a radio company how much he's paid monthly, and he outright refused to tell me. In fact, he found it very odd that I asked.

I know it's not an employee's job to fix pay inequity by sharing their salary figures, but I'm still of the opinion that it helps uncover pay gaps. But do you think it's wise to do so at the risk of damaging your work environment or the whole thing backfiring on you? Thoughts are welcome.

Here is my dilemma: I was passed up for manager promo last year and rightfully so a lot of my feedback was definitely correlated to me not properly handing my symptoms causing a good bit of inconsistencies in my performance especially if I lacked interest.

Hello All - I struggle with time management. I take medication but I have no idea whether a task will take 40 mins or 4 hours. Because of this, I over commit and under deliver. Also, having been on the receiving end of criticism, over time I have developed a perfectionist streak. I won't turn it in if it is good enough. How do you break out of this habit?

Any resources to help the brain structure tasks and make better estimates? Much appreciated, thanks!

First day of 30mg vyvanse today. Had a rush of energy and hyperfocus (too much so) about 2-4 hours in, but had a complete crash 5hrs after taking the pill (just a wave of fatigue, felt very good after a quick 15min nap actually) and not sure if it had any effect after. Is this normal? Should I stick it out for a few days or is this a big sign that I’m not on the right meds/dose? Nervous to keep trialling this during the workday since a midday crash is not ideal. Appreciate any advice!
