In my own case, the worst thing of all was not even the false diagnosis of bipolar disorder, or the prescriptions for lithium, Depakote, and tricyclic antidepressants, but the MISSED diagnoses of <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/autism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>autism</span></a> and <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/ADHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ADHD</span></a>. I'm 67 now. I keep trying to imagine what my life might have been like if just ONE of the numerous psychiatrists and psychologists I saw in the 1980s and 1990s had caught these conditions, diagnosed them formally, and gotten me appropriate accommodation for autism and appropriate treatment for ADHD. (Wellbutrin may be a first-line antidepressant, but as an ADHD drug, it's third-line at best.)</p>

luce<p>✨ Wartemodus… ✨</p><p>Ich versuche nicht zu streng mit mir zu sein, und zu akzeptieren dass ich halt gerade müde bin und Kontext wechseln und Zeit planen halt mehr Energie und Motivation kostet als ich gerade habe. Das schlechte Gewissen macht es ja auch nicht besser 😬 <br>Aber da ist dann trotzdem die Stimme in meinem Kopf, die finde ich könnte doch bitte vor der Therapie wenigstens noch die Spülmaschine ausräumen, wenn ich schon nicht Haare wasche. Ich würde aber gerne an einen Punkt kommen, wo ich mich nicht mit Druck und Angst dazu zwingen muss, sowas anfangen zu können 🥺</p><p>✨ waiting mode… ✨</p><p>I‘m trying not to be too harsh with myself, and to accept that I'm tired and context switching and estimating time just needs more energy and motivation than I have right now. Feeling guilt also doesn't make it better 😬<br>But there is still the voice in my head, that says I should at least clean out the dishwasher before therapy if I'm already not washing my hair. <br>But I would really like to get to a point where I don't have to force myself with pressure and fear to be able to start something like this 🥺</p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/ADHS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ADHS</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/ADHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ADHD</span></a></p>
Daniel Reeders<p>This image by Berger (2025) visualises one gram of brain tissue. 57,000 neuron cells. 150 MILLION synapses. Mapping it produced 1.4 million gigabytes of data.</p><p><a href="https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/scientists-imaged-and-mapped-a-tiny-piece-of-human-brain-heres-what-they-found-180984340/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/</span><span class="invisible">scientists-imaged-and-mapped-a-tiny-piece-of-human-brain-heres-what-they-found-180984340/</span></a></p><p>We are absolutely nowhere close to understanding human neurology. Not even close to grasping it in gnats, either. </p><p>We talk in these hackneyed stereotypes about addictive behaviour and ADHD and 'dopamine surges' — and even then dopamine has five subtypes in two groups and it's the messenger system for MANY different functional centres and networks from memory to movement to motivation.</p><p>We were wrong FOR DECADES about which dopamine receptor subtype is being modulated when antipsychotics prevent mania.</p><p>And this is why using the prefix 'neuro' in social justice talk about <a href="https://beige.party/tags/autism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>autism</span></a>, <a href="https://beige.party/tags/adhd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>adhd</span></a> and <a href="https://beige.party/tags/audhd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>audhd</span></a> makes me extremely uncomfortable. 'We all have a neurotype' is meaningless. The claim that autistic folk have more branches on our neurons was based on one millionth the amount of tissue seen in this model. Huge generalisations are being made based on that one tiny fragment of science. But we know there's much, much greater diversity within the autism category than exists between autistic and non-autistic folks.</p><p>So please avoid attributing things to neurology when in fact an autistic person's overall being and presentation of self reflects nature interacting with nurture along with their history, lived experience and often very subtle features of their present situation.</p>

tomate 🍅<p>Yesterday evening I had a „I do not know what to do, I need an adult“ moment. I got remembered that in fact despite all evidence I am an adult. From now I will ask for adultier adults because I learned in therapy to be clear in things I ask for. That should work and make my live easier. <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/adhd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>adhd</span></a></p>
