A lot of psych medication is guess and check. With the right supportive doctors a person with cptsd may have no problem getting stimulants. If they work, great. If they don't, no problem. Hopefully the doctor is cognizant of this, and I don't think they always are. But I would not blanket say 'people with cptsd should not get those'.

Guess and check sounds crude but it's fairly effective on a range of issues. It's guess and don't check that causes a problem. Or guess and don't try anything else, etc.

Edit: I suppose you might be concerned someone never has the cptsd treated? I think that makes sense as a concern. However, I don't think treating the ADHD if the meds do that has to block investigating the cptsd. A lot of people can't do all that inquiry until more of their life is stabilized anyway. Cool if you can go straight to cptsd and that means you don't need ADHD meds...but nothing wrong if you go to ADHD meds, eventually discover trauma angle, and can back off the ADHD meds.

Mostly from some nozzles with leaded brass components, but lead is probably very small component and I'm not sure is the main reason why something printed isn't food safe. Mostly I think it's not food safe because it's not really a traceable chain, has very high surface areas, lots of bacterial pockets, generally hard to determine if it's food safe or not.

But wrt to lead, it would mostly be in brass components

Kind of rude. This person clearly had some crowded teeth that started the problem, then likely cavities from surgery that would have been challenging to perfectly clean & twice a day may not have solved anything. Plus just had a shit experience, so while your statement may apply in a large group it doesn't apply here.

The front axle is in front of the fork in that photo.

I am not sure the distinction goes in this direction. Rather than "shouldn't be diagnosed as ADHD" I would sooner say "ADHD should be treated in multiple ways"

It's very typical for there to be overlap between inevitability and environmental circumstances

Uhh, excuse me? Legs are inefficient on flatter ground because they don't have wheels.

Legs have to start, go up, go down, stop.

Wheels go brrrrr.

to be honest I doubt people were masking in response to poop shoving, poop shoving is not the worst and presumably the control group just had non-poop

what seems more plausible to me would be ~<<poop helped something, something made life easier, autistic life is less obvious and disruptive to non-autistics when life is easier>>

Hard to find that

The request may have been misguided. They don't need a milligram accurate scale. They're actually wondering how to taper a 10mg doses drug, which is actually comprised of a much higher than 10mg pill, more like 100 to 200mg. The rest is typically binder.

Also, note that while your $500 scale may be necessary for absolute accuracy, splitting 10mg is not the same as finding exactly 10mg.

Taking a drug is absolutely a habit, it's a habit of soothing an emotion or seeking an emotion. "My body feels this, therefore I will do that"

This is "bad, bored, tired" or anything else. "That" is the drug administration, experience, etc.

Much of addiction therapy is understanding that cycle and finding a different course of action between "my body feels this" and "doing other things instead of that drug"

Ok, they also added an entire building on top, not just a pool

If you can, consider to volunteer at a shelter or any volunteer activity that you find accessible to you.

I say this specifically because giving to others is undervalued for its internal benefits, and animals tend to be more accessible to direct love towards than humans with their complexities. But overall just giving is a way of transferring some of yourself into a more together context, and volunteering tends to be socially easier than like hanging at a bar or something...idk, just another autistic person who has/does struggle with depression in many contexts.

Volunteer at a cat shelter for e.g was only a tiny part of my burn out recovery process but it was still a really important catalyst and component. Maybe you can have some similar experiences too! Or maybe your own experiences are very different and it's not valuable for you, I'm sorry.

If you want I can ramble more about structural reasons for why this is a very good idea for autism+depression, but the point is really 'one extremely small and accessible suggestion' and so I don't want to overcomplicate it more.

Anyway if animals can't work for you, any other volunteering and/or metta/ loving-kindness meditation would be my second recommendations.

But it's really important for the volunteering bits that you are not maximizing efficiency. It is certainly 10X more impact if I was to work$ and donate that to the cat shelter. But in terms of the thematic healing goal, it is more important I spend time scooping poop for the cat gods at the shelter almost precisely because it's not a utility-value driven experience. Giving unto others, etc.

(1) these are not ordinary radiators because ordinary radiators aren't gold plated and don't unfold dramatically from compact shipping sizes (2) It's absolutely loads of radiators

For what it's worth, nomadism and agricultural systems are not necessarily more complex - that is, the complexity of a nomadic lifestyle can be quite high. Randomization, varied food sources, hybrid lifestyles, etc.

The hierarchy is certainly higher in agriculture societies it seems, but the complexity is up for some debate
