Tibet isnt widely known as that name in English speaking areas. This seems designed to avoid people in the west making the connection between the two names rather than using a name "more in line" with the Tibetan word for the region.
ADHD may be overdiagnosed in some ways eg. children young for their grade, hyperactive boys etc. but it is definitely underdiagnosed in other ways eg. primarily inattentive, girls/women etc.
It is clear from research that men and women are probably equally likely or close to it, to have ADHD but the ADHD tends to manifest differently due to socialization. i.e boys tend to exhibit outward hyperactivity and impulsivity while girls tend to exhibit inattention and inner hyperactivity i.e restless mind, squirm in their seat etc. and are more commonly misdiagnosed as having anxiety, depression and other conditions that can mimic aspects of ADHD.
Inattentive ADHD (which is what I have) tends to be underdiagnosed because quite frankly, people tend not to care that much about you having ADHD until you inconvenience them because of it. Inattention is arguably less disruptive to others than hyperativity. i.e the space cadet vs the kid bouncing off the walls.
There are only a few symptoms of ADHD that Id consider useful:
Novelty seeking. If you are able to explore and experiment i.e you are financially secure and/or well connected, this can make someone a great scientist/artist etc. But as other people noted, a lot of this is the result of having the freedom to do more things. If you cant explore or experiment, it'll just make you feel trapped.
Greater capacity for creativity. Creativity comes from allowing your mind to wander and jump from one thing to another and thats basically pure ADHD.
That said, ADHD is classified as a disorder for a reason. It can theoretically have positive traits but no one jumps through the hoops to get diagnosed, goes through therapy and takes medication to treat it because things are going better for them because of it. ADHD can be, and often is, debilitating. It can cripple your social life and cause you to either jump from job to job because you are bored to the point of physical suffering or be fired if it isnt controlled. And because emotional dysregulation is common, you are probably going to be emotionally exhausted or even outright traumatized. And of course, school is going to be harder for you than everyone else at some point.
The sad part is that the longer you are undiagnosed the more those neurotypical standards are your standards. So there's a lot of masking that goes on due to self hatred and it is very hard to train yourself to be more self compassionate.
Dude the goddamned phone requires that you confirm permission to access or manipulate anything on that phone. You cant just plug a usb cable in and fuck with everything. What the hell sort of phones do you guys buy that it just does that with no security measures?
Youve never actually had that happen if you think its that easy.
Guys no...
You cant wipe a phone remotely with your google sign on unless "find my device" is enabled, which it never was.
My phone does not just give access automatically to any device plugged into it. You are REQUIRED to give permission from the phone. Which cant be done because the screen is fucked.
Your phone SHOULDNT be accessible in this scenario because allowing any device to just plug in and download everything with no authentication is a security risk.
That only really happens if there is no immediate threat of doom. If there is, I am the most productive person on the face of the Earth but only due to the sheer terror that results from last second procrastination.
After I was diagnosed, I think it made it easier for me to be more forgiving of myself. Because I looked at my past differently because of it. So many things made more sense. The hypermobility (I could bend my legs far beyond what was normal when I was a kid and this is common in ADHD), feeling antsy/uncomfortable sitting still or otherwise not having anything to do, so many hobbies I went full force into until I got burned out or bored and moved on, impulsivity, feeling like you dont think like most people do, hyperfocus, skipping homework and other boring/tedious tasks, difficulty "shutting off your mind" to sleep, rejection sensitivity, feeling like your emotions are stronger or harder to control, rumination (agonizing over mistakes or social screw ups late at night), procrastination combined with extreme last minute productivity, sensory sensitivity eg. food textures, surfaces, socks etc, rambling, connecting completely disperate things/concepts together
My nicknane was "walking encyclopedia" when I was a kid so that tracks.
In my undergrad I went from being a chemistry/physics double major to a biochemist and finally finished my chemistry degree. (I am not far from having 3 degrees) I studied ASL, German and Japanese, modded video games and competed in a semiprofessional starcraft league. I wrote instrument guides and procedures for undergrads, contributed to papers on bioremediation, synthesized nanoparticles using genetically engineered enzymes. I developed a method for a plant alkaloid assay and a new way to reduce noise in an experiment designed to measure the rate of certain reactions that occur in extremely diluted systems. i.e single or double digit number of molecules in the entire sample.
Now I tutor college students in chemistry, physics, math and biology and work on computational chemistry projects.
The DOD was like this. And it wasn't just that you had to change passwords every so often but the requirements for those passwords were egregious but at the same time changing 1 number or letter was enough to pass the password requirements.
Take out the largest loan I can today, bring that money back to 2014 when bitcoin crashed to 50 bucks each, sell in 2017 when it was around 19k, buy in mid 2019 when it was 10k, hold until it peaked in 2021 and cash out. If you started with 10k and did that, you could be worth over 26 million dollars today. You could be worth even more than that if you managed to leverage more loans and didnt screw up the timeline too much.
