it’s a really important misconception, though. disabilities and disorders are not illnesses and should never be treated as such

this is the correct answer, as much as people here don’t like it. the only reason neurotypical people are typical is that they’re fit as workers in a class society. everyone has limitations, including neurotypicals, but our limitations make us misfit to a class society. we’re not as able to output work consistently 40h per week and do what we’re told without being told it
they’re not illnesses and that’s not even a controversial statement. no mental health professional worth their salt would call autism or adhd illnesses
so cool to be late to my therapy appointment at 9:30 even though i woke up 7am (me rn)
what’s weirdest to me is that if i try to force myself to not doing nothing for an hour after i wake up, it feels weird and wrong in a way i can’t explain
beleza pura@lemmy.eco.brto ADHD@lemmy.world•Any tips on loosing weight when you've got ADHD?English91·24 天前take all this with a grain of salt
if you don’t need to lose weight immediately for health reasons, focus less on weight loss and more on making healthy habits feel natural
regarding eating, i’d say the following are essential:
- avoid getting hungry
- food should be as tasty as possible. you have to actually like what you’re eating
- no forbidden food. do not try to take anything away from your diet
- absolutely NO strict rules in general. they’re bad enough for neurotypicals, so they’re fatal to us
- introduce healthy food you like. if you can, start with fruits, lots of fruits. fruits are the easiest kind of tasty healthy food
- try to eat on time as much as possible. kind of a corollary of “avoid getting hungry”
- have go-to foods you can eat at each meal/whenever you get hungry without thinking. one of mine is strawberry smoothie
- don’t eat anything you don’t like. it doesn’t matter how healthy it is, if you hate it, it’s bad for you. there’s plenty of healthy food out there
- give a chance to foods you don’t like too much once in a while. maybe you’ll end up liking them eventually, maybe not. just try and you’ll find out
- above all else, make any of these changes incrementally. the point is building solid habits, not having a solid diet from the get go
any of these follow from: eating is one of the most important things in our life; never make yourself feel bad while trying to get healthy.
good luck

some deb packages add new repositories to the system, so there’s a possibility that just installing a deb package will ensure updates keep coming. if i recall correctly, that’s what zoom does

my point is: most of the time, the problem with being autistic are the people around us, not the autism itself
case in point: op’s autism wasn’t a problem when they were hanging out with their friends
the problem is always other people, isnt it?
anyway, i hope youre able to get the hell out of that house eventually
