The 'wake up at 5 a.m.' advice skips the part where you actually went to sleep.
It also forgets the three hours you spent replaying everything you said wrong in a conversation six years ago.

ADHD is having the brain of a rocket scientist and the morning routine of a squirrel who found an energy drink

Moving to a new instance is a sly excuse to write an #introduction post (I never did one before).
I'm Drew, pleased to meet you. I'm male, middle aged, child-free, a Brit but don't feel like one, living in 🇵🇭 for the last few years. I'm #neurodivergent with quite severe #CPTSD. You can ask me about it, I'm trying to get better at discussing it. I'm married, I work in #tech and I love animals and nature.
I post about (takes deep breath): #DogsOfMastodon #WebDev #Linux #Fedora #RaspberryPi #Apple #NoAI #FuckAI #BanAI #Enshittification #Autism #ActuallyAutistic #AuDHD #ADHD #ChildhoodTrauma #MentalHealth #Stroke #PTSD #ModelRailway #NGauge #Philippines #SilentSunday #Bookstodon #Music
Almost forgot! I have a single-page personal profile website at https://drewtowler.me which expands on all this.

I know this seems counterintuitive, but I originally liked computers as a kid because they felt “simple” to me. By the time I was in college they already felt overly complex. By now, they feel like hopeless, impenetrable, tangled disasters.
Old machines were limited and clunky and temperamental and slow and often a huge pain in the ass, but I felt like I could understand them. Today there is so much to memorize, so many interconnected systems and services and toolchains and transpilers and webpackers…
I don’t know, maybe I’m just getting too old. But even in my 30s, my peers never seemed to have a problem understanding and adapting to these new paradigms, while I struggled. They are managers and directors and VPs now. I am still a senior software engineer, at the denouement of his career.

I'm dealing with the breakdown of a friendship, I can't really go into details here beyond that.
I don't have a lot of friends.. and even less that I get to really talk to (maybe 3 people?) and it hurts to discover that someone not only doesn't like you, but seemingly never actually knew you to start with.
Anyways, I just got to run through it all with my best friend, which was great in helping me self regulate and double check my understanding of emails sent to me. I know he'd call me out on being ridiculous or overreacting—he reassured me that I'm not, and he actually pointed out some aspects of the situation that I hadn't seen.
I'm sad about losing this friendship. People love autistic folks unless we act autistic.

#Android testers needed! I am building a free app for #ADHD folx with some basic productivity/staying on track features. I designed it for myself and my close family members but it could be useful to anyone. In order to launch it on the Play store, Google requires me to get 14 people to test it in a 'closed test'. If you have an android device, would you be willing to test it? If so, please email me and I will send you the link to download it from the Play Store. [email protected]

When I add something to my to do list now, I try to be more strategic by 1) only adding things that are actually pressing, not 'wishful thinking' items; and 2) adding a little note about why it's bothering me in that moment.
Both of these things help me create a list I can actually (at the right time) find the #motivation to want to work on.

Could it be I finally understand how to draw in pen?
I haven't mentioned it before, but I have dysgraphia. I like drawing in pencil because the softness is forgiving, allowing one to build up a line over multiple tries. Ink always felt direct and intimidating, and I guess part of me had written it off as just not being for my hand. Pretty foolish in retrospect.
