Emotional dysregulation is a common outcome for ND people. I think a significant root cause is invalidation. ND people have a different lived experience to most people and when that is combined with a societal environment that rewards conformance and punishes divergence, which usually manifests as confrontational outbursts (typically masculine) or fawning-avoidant (typically feminine) behaviour that seems dysfunctional to an onlooker.

These effects can amplify over time if not dealt with and they explain many of the negative life outcomes for ND people, reduced employment, increased criminal convictions, diminished academic achievement and increased mortality. I don't know what it's like elsewhere but in England the state of mental healthcare is truly shameful. I don't consider the English to be a humane society, they treat pets with more care.

The good news is that it can be successfully treated and depending on when you start that process I think it's possible to lead a life that isn't constantly ambushed by emotional dysregulation. I was diagnosed at 47 ADHD, now 51 and while I am much better than I was there is a long road ahead. Still, what else am I gonna do?

NATO was created as a mutual defence pact against a potential threat posed by Stalin's Soviet Russia that was never realised. Stalin and Soviet Russia are long gone but NATO continues to expand its influence right up to the borders of Russia as if we still need to gang up on them, cold war style. Meanwhile the oligarchs, who continue to subvert the narrative and lay waste to the middle east, are permitted to act with impunity. We probably should keep an eye on what the Russians are up to but not at the expense of losing sight of the Epstein class of mendacious warmongers, the real and present threat to peace and stability.

According to that definition Snowden doesn't defecate, he goes for a heroic dump. I'm just saying the word gets abused and people are lots of things, including heroic and deplorable. Osama was a hero to many people. What Snowden did was pretty heroic in my opinion but the deep state probably have other ideas.

Okay but a doctor is a profession. You could have a heroic doctor but nobody's full time job is 'hero'. A hero is a term that's useful in a novel but some people wanna cosplay the role and that eventually becomes a cult.

Buy precious metals, construction materials, a tool chain that takes base materials to finished products and a submarine large enough to contain the above.

Fund socialist advocacy political movements twice as aggressively as the billionaire class are currently doing. Build schools for neuro divergent kids and adults that are free. Create automation that generates food and healthcare resources and give it away for free. The people relax, creating art and science at their leisure while the robots toil in the fields and factories.

Exclusively dating ND women has been a blessed relief from small talk
