Random question and not meant to be a criticism. Also not directed at just you or just this post. Why is there so many ADHD-specific posts that don't relate to autism? I have both, so I relate, but what about non-adhd autistic folks?
The comorbitity rate between adhd and autism is so high some say adhd is autism level .5.
My son is autistic, and many would swear my daughter is. But the doctors say she only has adhd, and that adhd can have a lot of symptoms that most people associate with autism only.
TBF most of the DSM labeling kinda sucks in general because its labeling is primarily symptom based rather than being derived from the actual mechanisms that result in the symptoms (which are currently beyond medical grasp.) Imagine conflating a virus and a bacterium because they both lead to a runny nose.
Yeah, modern medicine is really still in the dark ages. If we spent even a quarter of what we spent on military budgets... we would all be feeling a lot better.
Clearly the people posting in this community don't want to post in those. Noone forces you to read a post. If you want to tailor what gets posted, volunteer to be a mod.
Look, you can't please all of the people all of the time.
If you want a tailored experience, you either have to pay for it, or make it yourself (be the mod). That's just life. Is it shitty. Yes. But shouting at the rain isn't going to change anything.
I guess we won't count you as "some".
But that is kinda what I said. They share some symptoms. Medical science doesn't know the cause of either, so symptoms is about all they have to go on. The reality is most likely that adhd as it is defined is probably multiple different causes that very well may be unrelated. Autism is almost definitely so. Repackaging them under one spectrum is just as good as two. And no more meaningful either way. In the end, both are just labels for things that aren't understood.
I don't have an ADHD diagnosis (yet) but that is exactly how I would describe the way my brain works. It's because of that kind of memes (among other things) that I now want to get tested

There's already !adhd@lemmy.dbzer0.com for the ADHD memes, so I don't know why someone would post this in this comm

But theres an ADHD and an auDHD comm, and maybe the other .5 would like to see posts they can relate to

That is a very unempathetic stance to take. A little upsetting to see this here.

Nope, different thing. There's also multiple variants of both, so some might look similiar.

This comm is inclusive of all of us

I know and like that! Just wouldn't want the people it's made for to feel left out

My autism experience is that I have a normal CPU and RAM, but usage for both are way higher than for the typical person.

Same, it's just running an unresponsive prime95 24/7 and Windows 95 won't let me kill the process.

ADHD is more like having an eight core processor when they were still really new thing but you keep having races conditions or no software support it.

If you add in a function where my sound and video output routines occasionally wipe the RAM, I'm in.
MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip · 5 pts · 245d
Multicore CPU but single-core scheduler is more fitting for me.
So much things to do but can only do 7 at a time and oops, that one flew over the stack.

I don't have RAM, I have RDM (Random Data Memory)
snekmuffin@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 244d
and kswapd0 ends up taking 80% of the CPU due to this

Tfw you have a 12 core threadripper but most problems are single core procs

In my case my storage is formatted differently, and my cpu isn't all that sure how to read from it. Lol.
