Hey,

(2/2)
1 of the hosts, Tommy Krappweis, has the problem that when an important meeting is planned at, say, 2 pm, he hardly can do anything before that because he knows he has to pause it eventually.

With this in mind, people in Ireland potentially don't have this problem because there are no 'hard lines', but more suggested time slots, it seems.

How do people living there see that?

in a podcast episode we listened to (Ja Schatz # 25, DE, https://www.podcast.de/episode/703706889/episode-25) the two hosts talked about their recent move to Ireland.

They mentioned that in Ireland appointments seem to be seen much more relaxed. In Germany, when you meet next Friday at 8 pm, chances are good that people arrive at 7.55. Not so in Ireland, it seems. Is this more relaxing for neurodivergent people?

I've never really found the Pomodoro thing to work for me. The "work 20 minutes, break 5 minutes" approach.

Because I'm usually in the middle of something. And my brain needs to be able to finish that thing.

Even though I’ve been unmasking, and sorting out my internalized ableism and internalized capitalism, and other unhealthy cultural messaging, for around eight years now, I still routinely find new aspects to unpack. 1/2

Out walking in #RoathPark in #Cardiff earlier. Deep chat with a very caring #AuDHD fellow. Palpable warmth of nature. Yet lacking in self belief.

5 teenage boys stopped to talk. This was BREATHTAKINGLY different. They stood facing with all locked in eye contact 100% connected. EXACTLY like a throw back to the 1970s. Diametrically opposite to the phone silos most are trapped in.

They were vibrantly alive and happy in the moment - talking to a 69 year old!

Try to get very specific about the things you don't want in your life.

Instead of "that asshole of a boss," what's more useful is "he does these specific behaviors," or "has these particular personality traits," or "these particular ways of communicating that just do not work with my brain." 1/2

All over the place – AuDHD edition

https://cynnisblog.wordpress.com/2026/05/27/all-over-the-place-audhd-edition/

Well. Lydie is not only queen klutz, but I can't remember things to save my life.

I have no "working" memory (a typical neurodivergent trait). And, in AI terms, my context window is very very small.

So I lose things. It costs me a lot of money buying replacements.

However, there is a modern tech that I'm just now trying. Air Tags (well, the Android equivalent). I'm going to put them on lots of things.

There was a good decade where I barely brushed my teeth. And I was severely judgmental to myself about that.

But it wasn't because "I'm a crap person who can't do adult things." 1/2

I am sitting in the sun, letting the warmth settle into me while a slight breeze moves across my skin, carrying the faint clean scent of mint from the plant to my right. The soft, steady hum of traffic drifts past in the background. Today I needed this more than I can easily explain.

This morning my doctor cancelled her appointment, then changed her mind and said she could make it after all. I had already mentally released the day and reorganised around Thursday, so when the reversal came I found myself more unsettled than the situation probably warranted. Unexpected changes like that disrupt something deeper than just the schedule. My nervous system had already mapped the day a certain way, and a sudden shift, even a minor one, requires a kind of internal recalibration that is genuinely exhausting. I chose Thursday anyway, on my own terms, which helped. The unsettled feeling still took time to pass, which is why I am out here now.

It has me thinking about something I have been sitting with lately. Reality does not care about our plans, our carefully built illusions, or the stories we tell ourselves to feel safe. There is a particular kind of shock that comes when life closes the gap between what we expected and what actually is, and it does so entirely on its own timeline, not ours.

I am not convinced the answer is stripping away every layer of protection and standing completely exposed. I think the real work is building enough internal ground to tolerate what is real without being destroyed by it. That process is slower and more painful than avoidance, but there is clarity on the other side that no illusion ever provided. At least, that has been true in my own experience.

Growing up, I thought I was doing what everyone else was doing.
But at best my social encounters would fall flat, and at worst people would edge away.

Every social interaction became a minefield — trying not to say or do the wrong thing and set off a bomb, but having no idea what that wrong thing would be this time.

Today has been a full one and I am glad it is nearly over.

This morning started with a GP appointment where my blood test results came back. My diabetes management needs adjusting, so my medication has changed. I am now on Synjardy, a combination tablet that brings metformin and empagliflozin together into one. Simpler on paper. A lot to sit with in practice.

What I did not feel I got today was a proper rundown of the side effects, and I have another appointment tomorrow where I plan to push for that conversation properly. I wish medical professionals would simply lead with the information rather than making patients ask. What I do know already is that empagliflozin increases urination as part of how it works, flushing excess glucose through the kidneys. That is a real problem for me. Managing bathroom urgency is already difficult enough without a medication actively making it worse, and I am not entirely sure how I am going to navigate that, especially on days when I am out or studying.

Food management is its own frustration. Texture sensitivities and sensory processing differences make low carb eating genuinely hard. Breakfast stumps me every single time. Lunch has been salad again, with the occasional sandwich. Snacks may need to disappear entirely. It is exhausting.

This afternoon I also found out my new support worker has broken her wrist and is booked off for three weeks. It happened last week while she was on my shift. She fell going to the bathroom while I was finishing my coffee. I feel terrible about it, and it also leaves me in a complicated spot practically.

The one thing that has genuinely carried me through today is Haydn's piano trios. I have been listening to them and they are extraordinary. Haydn wrote over 40 of them across his life, and they sit in a fascinating place in chamber music history, formally structured but full of warmth, wit, and surprise. The cello in Haydn's trios is largely tied to the piano bass line rather than given an independent voice, which sounds like a limitation but creates this remarkable tightly woven texture. The piano carries the melodic weight while the violin sings above it. The Gypsy Rondo from Trio No. 43 in G major is the most well known, with that irresistible Hungarian-inflected final movement, but the quieter, more reflective trios are the ones I keep returning to. There is something in the balance of structure and tenderness in late Haydn that feels exactly right when a day has been too much.

Studies started today too. Relationship counselling and addictions counselling, both already making me think hard. Addiction is not a moral failure or a willpower problem. It is relational at its core, rooted in pain and disconnection, and the neuroscience supports that entirely. What someone is really learning from the substance is always the more important question. First lecture is Wednesday evening, not my favourite time slot, but I am looking forward to it.

It's a new week! Question for all of my #ADHD, #Autistic and #AuDHD folks out there: what do you think will be your fixation food for the week?

Last week, mine was pizza. Very specifically, the Ottawa Valley style with enough cheese to kill a person.

The week before, it was burgers. I batch made burgers and ended up eating them eight times through that week.

I think I have shaken off the pizza itch finally, and all I can hope is that this week's is something I can make at home.
