#34 They're worried that teaching their kids it's okay to be different will reduce the control they have over their kids. Also, like 10% of the population is naturally LGBT+, so education has a 1 in 10 chance of opening someone's eyes to what they feel inside. To parents who come from a totalitarian culture and believe they own their children, this is effectively the same thing as "turning my kid gay"

I realize it is for fantasy/sci-fi, and they are doing it so you would buy the later books in a series, but it is still a good deal. Plus they give much better percentage to their authors.

If you get the "trauma edition" people will wonder how you come up with jokes so fast. HR will sometimes want to hear them as well because they come out of your mouth before you brain can determine if it's offensive to those around you.

#4 & #8 okay, seriously, are these not normal? Like, are they matters of degree, or are these indicators I haven't paid attention to?
LostCaterpillar
Matter of degrees. If your life is fundamentally functional then there's no reason to consider things like this an indicator of anything.
If, on the other hand, things like this feel like they are inescapable and detract from your quality of life then it might be worth talking to a professional about ADHD or what have you.
TI99Kitty
Both of those are a matter of degrees, and not necessarily an indicator. With #4, does it only happen once in a while, or is it every time you're in a conversation?
#8 could be that you really just don't want to deal with it, even though you know you should -- which could be a sign of depression. Or it could be a sign that you're already dealing with more than you can handle, and you're at the breaking point. Either of those scenarios would also explain the "break down in tears" reaction.
ElChupaNuggra
I refer to it as the Ping Pong Ball train of thought, how one topic can cause me to leap to another, it happens all the time with a friend of mine, one topic will cause us to slide into another, and then another, then my wife will be like, 'We were talking about going to Wendy's, why is the conversation about 80's Cartoon theme songs?!'
onlyhalfghost
matters of degree. It's not like no NT has these experiences sometimes, but if this happens to you constantly you may want to check for ADHD
Interoperability
There is a "to a debilitating degree" missing from most of the "and my neurodevergent ass be like..."-memes here in Imgur. Everyone does the "I should do the thing, why am I not doing the thing!" and the association train of thought sometimes, and some more than others, but not to a degree where it regularly causes actual real problems in our lives. I'm the conductor on the thought association train, and to me it's just a neat personality trait.
ColdDragon
These behaviors tends to show up to a non-debilitating degree more in "normal" people when they are under stress. And given the level of stress people seem to be under, expect to see and experience more of this. Though hopefully without reaching a clinical level.

Well it doesnt hurt to try. I only take 10mg of Ritalin but went up to taking another dose at lunch when I could feel it was wearing off and that helped me so much to get through my work day being productive and focused.

"Ooh, I'm from a REAL first-world country, that isn't run by lobbyists, oooh!"
(I'm just teasing, of course. We had so much potential, and it was wasted by not having any truly progressive leaders.)
pritolus
All capitalist countries are run by lobbyists. The only difference is how much power they have today, the US ones haven't had much resistance so they're further along. But we're all catching up and moving towards the same late stage hellscape. Because that's what capitalism does.

#8 There was a Nature Valley granola bar that sat on my dashboard from the day I bought my truck to the day I sold it. About 2.5 years. It was visibly sun-faded on one side. My partner still makes fun of me for it.
HarperLee
My first (used) truck had a hawk feather behind the sun visor. It'd fall every time I'd use the visor and I'd think "I need to throw that out" then put it back and forget until the next time. Four years later and I sold it with the truck

Those things are hardly edible sometimes. You probably kept it there in case you ever had a use for a very small brick.
Timmysteve
Just like the cough drops situation, if you just pick it up and hold it in your hand you are significantly less likely to forget. Yes, it might mean you're holding on to the stupid thing for an hour. But it gets the job done
Gnoll
I've tried this but don't even realize when I've set it down at some point in the day, then I finally make it to the area I would have needed to move the thing, only to realize it's not in my hands anymore and I have to go play "Where did I put it down?" until I eventually forget and start the cycle over again.

#32 .... And if my grandma had wheels, she would have been a bike...
No amount of pr is gonna age a raped minor up or change her memory about how she got pregnant, and that's the group who they wanna silence in the first place...
WhatTheFrench
I got pregnant by mistake due to consensual sex as an adult and I had an abortion and I know what the fetus looked like, in part because they were legally required to show me the ultrasound and describe it to me and in part because I looked it up beforehand, and it in no way made the decision easier or harder and I have no regrets.
I want to echo what you said, but also that family planning choices are valid regardless of who makes them or why. Not wanting to have a baby is enough reason.
KairiRatten
Yes, exactly. Showing someone the fetus is not gonna convince money to come in one's bank account or distant boyfriend to come back or make your mental health instantly better, or make you actually want kids, or any of the myriad of reasons not to have kids, it's literally just PR for people who never had to make choices...
anender
Every child should be wanted. If progenitors know they're not up to the task, then we should make sure that child isn't neglected, nor disadvantaged. Until such time as society is up for the task of caring for *every* unwanted baby with the same (or better) care as good parents, we should have abortions. Until such a time, I don't want to hear from pro-life.
TI99Kitty
I hate the term "pro-life." These assholes are only "pro-life" when it involves telling a woman what she's allowed to do with her body. Once that fetus has been pushed out into the world, they don't give a shit about what happens to it.
Those same people are also fine with the death penalty and want to apply it doctors who perform abortions and women who have abortions.
TI99Kitty
They're not "pro-life," they're anti-choice.
anender
Agreed. I would have things to say, if the conditions were met - but until then, they can skip telling women to torture their progeny with a bad existence.

#8 For me, one of the most distressing things is when I'm really overwhelmed or feeling burned out, doing small things feels so monumental, like even doing a sink full of dishes. Then one day I'll get a burst of energy and just get them all done. I'll feel really satisfied and proud of myself, but then it feels like the next time I walk into the kitchen the dishes are all back again. The time in between just seems to vanish and the dishes are always there.
brandagill
Dishes and laundry are horny bastards always being like: do me
anender
Build sandwiches on napkins, throw away/burn. Don't make dishes for toast. Can get a meal or two without dishes. Eat from the can, wash/recycle - no dishes. I mean lick your knife/spoon. Maybe have small set of utensils to do (soaking in can of water, upright).

KittyKlimt6
Great ADHD content, thanks. I just wanna add one thing i feel is mostly overlooked: Imagine the drop-story as one of a mom. I mean we ARE totally capable of loosing our shit bc 1 cough-drop. Now be female & have kids. Chances are, you won't even get diagnosed. Mostly because women are judged harsher by society, so we are forced to mask better, which is a shitload to bear in itself. Late diagnosis comes with depression, anxiety & grief. You are responsible for "carework"= 5k drops every day.
KittyKlimt6
And all this executive dysfunction is so hard to bear already if its just you, your life, your mind. But we are expected - on these grounds?! NO WAY - to raise tiny humans, are responsible for them feeling good, performing in life, have clean & orderly rooms. Meanwhile our husbands are maybe even also neurodivergent but have nothing to do but work 8hrs, come home, relax, whilst we work unpaid for another few hours until last overstimulated kid is sleeping. This is life threateningly exhausting.
DietCokeIsMyDrugOfChoice
Which is why we gp into burnout so much faster, isn't it fun? 😭

#32 this is a fucking lie. If seeing a weird pink alien worm thing growing in a woman's guts would make people support abortion, you'd think they'd use a lot more fetuses on pro life signs, instead of putting 8 month old babies next to shit like "the eyes grow at five weeks!"

True. Also, not even gonna be able to see the fetus until like >12 weeks unless there's gonna be a magnifying lens on that window.

And a light in the uterus. You could turn it on or off by pressing the belly button.
Of course, all you're really gonna see is a wall of muscle, because only the belly is transparent, not all the muscle, fat, uterine wall, and other soft tissues. :p
