Yes, you can be neurodiverse and pursue higher education. I didn't even know I was at the time, but I certainly faced the challenges with timekeeping, deadlines, concentration and engagement and - indeed - showing the hell up. There were a few resits, there was also some cobbling together of credits for my undergraduate degree - but I got there.
Rorschachhamster: Blinddungeon III
So, ich denke, ich veröffentliche hier mit dem Raum erstmal die Rohfassung des Globerts. Des Globerts, weil das ist ein neues Monster. Das eher Ungefährlich ist, abgesehen von seinem Quaken. Das kann in die Hose gehen. Oder in den Kanal, in diesem Fall. Ich hatte den so hingemalt, und ich mußte da ein Monster drausmachen. … Blinddungeon III weiterlesen
True Life with ADD (or as some call it ADHD) #ADHD #ADD #Taxes #April15 #TaxDay
For an American who has ADD, on Tax Day April 15, it tends to be a rather "fraught" day. I ALWAYS expect I will be ready ahead of time and at the very least, know where my W-2 forms are and have the free tax prep service I use ready to fire up on the desktop computer.
Reality: The "special place" I put my W-2 forms for this year is again completely a mystery. Every dang year I decide on the day they arrive by mail, "THIS year" I am putting them in such an extra special place, they will be right at hand.
Ha
Ha
Ha
Ha
(Who am I kidding?)
My day: 6 am to 2 pm, intensive search for those damn forms. I did manage to learn something over the years, since this is always a BIG FAT PROBLEM, I use that time to throw away paperwork and stuff I have not bothered to cull or file away. I now have my usual 5 pound bag of paperwork to recycle. And I managed to cull extra documents in 3 file boxes AND, omg, I got nice label maker labels on brand new file folders for this year 2025!
But, although this sounds great, that was a really stressful 8 hours. Taxes files and I already got verification the Federal tax submission is accepted. State of AZ may be a week yet. Direct deposit on the refunds, so $1,600 is going to be very appreciated in my account in about a week or 2.

Ok, jetzt mal was kurzes, einfaches, hat der Vergangenheitsrorschachhamster gedacht – nur um zwei neue Zauber zu entwerfen, weil ich der bin, der ich bin. Sowohl Kleriker als Zauberkundiger, obwohl die hier nur für Zak drin sind. Ist ja auch einfacher, neue Klerikerzauber erlernen ist ja eher nicht vorgesehen. Habe ich meine Regeln dafür schon … Blinddungeon II weiterlesen
Rorschachhamster: Blinddungeon I
Hallo, blah, lange nicht gesehen, etc. Jedenfalls, habe ich eine Idee gehabt, die ich so noch nicht umgesetzt habe. Mein normaler Modus Operandi beim Dungeon erstellen ist es, zuerst eine Karte zu zeichnen. Hatte jetzt die Idee, einfach mal Raumbeschreibungen zu spammen und dann die Karte im Nachhinein zu erschaffen. Ein ungefähres Thema – Salz … Blinddungeon I weiterlesen
Does anyone know what #Atomoxetine does to a motherfucker?
Me: I need 2 pills of that medication
#ASD: if you take that one and that one from the blister, it will make a nice pattern!
Me: yeah! Let's do that
*critch* *critch*
Me: there, done.
ASD: where's the pattern?! YOU TOOK 2 THAT WERE JUST NEXT TO ONE ANOTHER!
Me: 
ADD? The pattern?
#ADD: pattern? What pattern?

I guess now that this #Friendica instance is actually working, I'd better do an #introduction. I never did one when I created my #Mastodon account (at @gmc@chasmcity.net).
I'm a retired #hacker, #scifi #author, #software architect working for a silicon manufacturer, #pinball enthusiast, #RetroComputing #nerd, #SelfHosting zealot, #gay, card-carrying #adhd (#add) member and #migraine warrior. I live in #Sweden, but am originally from #TheNetherlands. I love #nature, #snow, the #cat and the #dog.
I'm not sure how I will use this Friendica account, since I also have the Mastodon account. We'll see. There's things I like about Friendica (especially how easy it is to follow threads) as well as Mastodon (especially how easy it is to filter and block to protect my #MentalHealth). I might set up some scripts to synchronise followers or some such, or maybe not and cultivate a different vibe on both accounts. Who knows.
I'll be trying on some other #SelfHosting #Fediverse servers as well.
#WritersCoffeeClub #Writing 08 On a Venn diagram of your writing, what's the common factor?
Listen, I've been writing since I was like 15 and am now 40. I have undiagnosed #ADD and I love #scifi -- which is the genre with the largest diversity of possible themes/settings/characters etc.
In the sub-diagram of works that take place on Earth, climate change is a common factor. Also corporations tend to be the prime antagonists. It's #cyberpunk - what can I say?
#WritersCoffeeClub #Writing 24 How long is the longest story you've ever written? Can you link to it?
I can't miss the chance to self-promote so let me go back in time and answer this one too!
The longest story I've ever written is my WIP novel (90k words or so), which is a sequel to the second longest story I've ever written, which is my first published novel, Colossus (50k words or so). These were big achievements for an #ADD writer working on the weekend and I'm damn proud!
Here's a link to Colossus, a #cyberpunk novel in the vein of Shadowrun.
I don't even know that's exist!! :0)
Cool stuff.. from hard gaming time.. :0))
