I built my algorithm well. I get reels from across the world.

I got random West African News, next to gay Pakistani thirst traps, to South Indian memes, to random theory posting from commie accounts, to your usual in trend and inevitable USA and Western memes, to Caribbean cooking, to Chinese language learning.

That doesn’t even cover half of it and I wouldn’t want it any other way.

Life’s been good lately. Not everything’s perfect - far from it.

But I like how things are going right now. There’s progress and can’t expect much more than that.

 

I have ADHD. That’s a certain. Officially diagnosed, on the process of finding medication and titration.

Although the doc I was meeting who was conducting the ADHD tests and a few followups, took account my traits and the answers to the ADHD questionnaire, which suggests AuDHD in their experience.

I read many AuDHD accounts and blogs online. Their story always lines up really well with mine.

I am of the opinion that the label does not matter in terms of practicality. A “what helps, helps” kind of motto. But I do feel a bit disingenuous when I say I am autistic to people since I didn’t get a second opinion or anything.

Any experiences and thoughts on this? Is there is any concrete benefits if I were to seek out an official Autism diagnosis aswell?
