And CPTSD applies to most neurdivergent kidlets from the 20th century. The school yard was cruel to autists etc

I think kids are perhaps more accepting now

Executive Dysfunction isn’t ’being Lazy’

The executive dysfunction part is so true & I say this as someone that has this exact thing @Flutterbug9 its something I experience/have on a regular basis ☺️😌

@Flutterbug9 re: your post from the 18th - sometimes it's easier to post on forums so others might learn too, but if you prefer to communicate about certain things via email, feel free to let us know.

Timing was purely coincidental - I had noticed the blue and had a bit of time to write out a post about the fact that for me, the blue makes me think that the text contains a link, rather than just being about emphasis. I thought maybe others might have the same automatic association.

My post was merely a suggestion, not an instruction or anything. I was just letting you know what was going on in my brain when I read blue text like that. The ensuing colour examples and discussion was a mildly humorous attempt on my part to see if there was an alternative.

I hope I haven't caused undue concern! Please let me know if there's any further clarity I can provide 😊

@Flutterbug9

Phrases like "Functional Deficits" generally get thrown around in the same conversations as professionals trying to coerce me onto the NDIS

Possibly owing to comorbid conditions (Dx: Schizophrenia, Seasonal Affective Disorder, CPTSD and Ddx: ASD, OCD and OSDD/DID) I don't have a great understanding of why, or why the things professionals speak about are so important to them

when the mind speaks faster than the mouth does

something quite common for me. Nothing unusual for me to be saying words part way through something, an item my brain has finished minutes ago. Quite often find myself talking about something, be part way through and have no idea what I was going to say next. Is like my brain has just become a clean whiteboard. No idea what I was going to say and, at times, no idea what I had starting talking about.

its frustrating, annoying and mentally draining

@Blackcloud preaching to the choir of Executive Dysfunction. My lived experience is that it’s crippling.
