My sister and I are neurodivergent women. While my sister cannot take "academic" classes, she can paint and draw on multiple artistic mediums.
She also plays the drums and records her lessons.

Some people break off contact with me when I say I am Austistic as well. I was formerly diagnosed as having Asperger's Syndrome when I graduated from secondary school in British Columbia.

Canada uses America's DSM definitions and once the DSM V was created: Asperger's was lumped in with Autism.

Comforting others:
When someone tells me bad news regarding their health, I say everything I am supposed to say (I’m sorry to hear that, I’m here for you, etc) EXCEPT “everything is going to be ok”. Because I can’t guarantee that and I really don’t know if everything is going to be ok. I was taken aback recently when a friend told me I am calloused and cold-hearted for not being able to say those words. Is she right? Should I start saying this for the purposes of providing comfort only??

Googling ADHD today (I’m having a distracted day) and super frustrated because I’m realizing that I was likely misdiagnosed as depressed for years. I was taking SSRIs and dealing with awful side effects while I struggled for so long. I finally got an official diagnosis about 10 years ago but was never taught the symptoms or how to manage them. Found you tube channel ADDitutde magazine. Several really good presentations with recent developments Thought I’d share.

NFT peeps, get a Doodle while you still can. Bought mine for 1.5 ETH last week. Now at 3.9 floor.

Little Alien Club is super duper cheap but a total Hail Mary gamble.
