13·10 months agoThere’s a mysterious new respiratory illness infecting dogs in the U.S. It’s contagious and is killing some of the infected dogs. I can’t find any updates, dunno if it’s still a thing or if it died out since November.
1·11 months agoWhat OS & version are you using that automatically converts file types when you change the filename via the default file manager interface? I have never heard of this function before.
you can just manually change the extension to “.jpeg” or “.png” and Windows/Linux/Android file managers will automatically convert it
Thank you for the suggestion, but that’s not how it works. Changing a file’s extension doesn’t change the file type; it just changes the name.
Bah, no sign of “Save webP as PNG or JPEG” yet.
flooppoolf mentioned you can get a second opinion, and I’d like validate that idea.
So. My thinking is that you weren’t tested for ADHD, you were given a survey to assess symptoms. Symptoms are important to recognize, but they don’t always paint a complete picture of what’s really going on.
For my diagnosis, I had to take a barrage of tests that took 3 hours to complete. The testing session was comprised of several timed tests on reflexes, short term memory retention, attention span, logic, vocabulary, math, and an IQ test. The last three might have been part of the IQ test, now that I think about it. This was a couple of years ago so I know I’m forgetting a lot of details, but it was intense. The report I got later with the diagnosis was huge and contained a ton of data and confirmed yes, I have ADHD. So yeah, ADHD (I have the inattentive, not the hyperactive type) is quantifiable.
For what it’s worth, when I was a child I also didn’t have the typical symptoms of ADHD. It is possible to have ADHD and exhibit no outward symptoms when you’re a kid, it presents differently in people for a variety of reasons, I was told. It only became obvious when I was an adult. That’s just my experience, anyway.
