Being autistic, adhd and random stuff

[PMarky2]

I suspect they are inseparable in exhausting you.

I hope it calms down and you'll be able to rest

Thank you!

One thing I have learnt is that what obtains one day might not carry over to the next, so I have a "hears to tomorrow" attitude when it comes to these episodes. At least I have been spared the horny AF element that often goes with them. A lot of the stress comes from just too many little things disrupting the routine. I also have to remember not to put my foot in it by forgetting our wedding anniversary. I doing fine at remembering now, will it still be there come Thursday?

One stupid thing that has become a major stress is ordering a door from Lowe's, which should have come in last Thursday, but it did not. When it does arrive I have to find my buddy with the pickup truck and hope he or I do not have a crazy day booked. I also have a few decisions to make which includes a work situation where someone should be discipled, but I am not sure that they will be. If they are not at least hauled to the carpet, if not over the coals, I am going to think that yet another massive injustice has been done, and that will cause problems.

A link I found elsewhere on Lit regarding Tylenol and autism dismissing any correlation between the two. It's a umbrella study of all the other studies, ranking their validity from high to critically low. Most of the other conclusions were rated as low or below.

There are a few comments, for and against but one caught my eye "But hopefully more carefully designed studies will get to the bottom of this because autism rates have grown dramatically and it's probably not just because it's recognized better now than it was."
I think 'the bottom of this' has already been explored if you're prepared to look for the evidence and willing to remain open-minded.

Linked quote why autism diagnoses are on the rise:
"In places that have been tracking this data over decades, there has been a steady rise in autism diagnoses since the mid-20th Century. Based on health and education records, from 2000 to 2022, autism prevalence in the US increased from 1-in-150 to 1-in-31. Prevalence has also grown in Australia, Taiwan, and other countries.

"That can look alarming to people who don't know [the context of the statistics]", says Zoe Gross, the director of advocacy at the Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN), a US nonprofit run by autistic people. It's not necessarily that autism cases are increasing, Gross emphasises: rather, diagnoses are on the rise."

If Trump and Kennedy want to reduce rates, they only need to carry on with cutting funding to science and health-care.

You can't really educate people who don't want to believe science.
