OK, #austistic question here.
Y'all can see how my days broke down, starting at ~9am, finishing at 10pm, but with a "break" in the middle between finishing around 5-6pm and starting again for 8-10pm. This graphs my chargeable hours.
But did I work a 46 hour week or a 65 hour week? Because even when I'm "on break", my brain is still churning while I try to relax.

CW: Mental health, existing, and society
Society at large has a tendency to pretend that everyone is the same; that's what the word "normal" is for, right?
"It's normal to be sad" and "everyone's sad sometimes" have been used to deny help to people suffering from #Depression for decades--because "normal" people "snap out of it".
Substitute "distracted" and see the current #Adderall shortage with new eyes.
For #Austistic people it's even worse, because there's no 'cure' for who you are.

With all these new people coming on board, I thought that it might be worth redoing my #introduction. I am a neurodivergent #actuallyautistic #actuallyadhd male with #mentalhealth issues. I live with the rest of my #austistic family in our autistic house sharing care of 2 girls with my ex.
By day I am a non-mild manner #IT #nerd. If asked, I don't fix computers; I make lights blink and the internet work.By night I wear the cape as maintainer of the mastodon instance https://neurodiversity-in.au.

So here’s my #introduction. I am a #DataScientist #analyst and #PythonDev by day and an #artist #painter the rest of the time (as well as other things). I am #AuDHD (#Austistic + #ADHD) which means I have two humans in living in my brain who sometimes get on marvellously and other times hate each other. Here are two self portraits.One depicts my face, the other is more accurate - a dayglo, occasionally scary mishmash of bits of apparently disparate humans who is frequently misunderstood.
