neurodiverse
What is Neurodivergence?
It's ADHD, Autism, OCD, schizophrenia, anxiety, depression, bi-polar, aspd, etc etc etc etc
“neurologically atypical patterns of thought or behavior”
So, it’s very broad, if you feel like it describes you then it does as far as we're concerned
Rules
1.) ableist language=post or comment will probably get removed (enforced case by case, some comments will be removed and restored due to complex situations). repeated use of ableist language=banned from comm and possibly site depending on severity. properly tagged posts with CW can use them for the purposes of discussing them
2.) always assume good faith when dealing with a fellow nd comrade especially due to lack of social awareness being a common symptom of neurodivergence
2.5) right to disengage is rigidly enforced. violations will get you purged from the comm. see rule 3 for explanation on appeals
3.) no talking over nd comrades about things you haven't personally experienced as a neurotypical chapo, you will be purged. If you're ND it is absolutely fine to give your own perspective if it conflicts with another's, but do so with empathy and the intention to learn about each other, not prove who's experience is valid. Appeal process is like appealing in user union but you dm the nd comrade you talked over with your appeal (so make it a good one) and then dm the mods with screenshot proof that you resolved it. fake screenies will get you banned from the site, we will confirm with the comrade you dm'd.
3.5) everyone has their own lived experiences, and to invalidate them is to post cringe. comments will be removed on a case by case basis depending on determined level of awareness and faith
4.) Interest Policing will not be tolerated in any form. Support your comrades in their joy!

I have so many alarms, a php tasklog running on raspberry pi, RFID tags that my phone use to update the tasklog. I have php/database based around gtd that I'm supposed to be tying into the tasklog that I haven't gotten around to yet. And I have a couple of tablets mounted on walls in my house that are also set up as rudimentary dashboards/ endpoints for updating the tasklog (still not implemented that part). But the most helpful tool has been setup up some cardboard kanban boards with post it notes on them (which is probably why I haven't gotten around to tiying the gtd php code in the tasklog yet.)
I also have routines set up on my phone to block out social media during working hours to keep me from getting lost doom scrolling. Like if I open up instagram in the middle of the day, it redirects me to firefoxwith the webpage for the tasklog.
I've also considered setting up some code to text message me reminders of what I should be doing if I'm on a task for too long. Like if my current tasklog entry is Duolingo and it's past 20 minutes, send me a text ask me what I'm working on.
I am not diagnosed with anything, however, if I don't resort to this shit and trying to gamify/gaslight myself, nothing gets done. So who knows what that means. The weekends when I (try to) sleep in and go of my m-f schedule is chaos and none of my important projects get done.
