Isn't that a pack of 5? So divide the ink price by 5. Much lower than the printer.

Some of your neurons stretch from your brain to your big toe. 1.5m, or more in a tall person.

I wonder why people use LLMs as a mental health provider replacement.

Therapists are dumb meatbags like us. Also often trained incorrectly, biased etc.

A site in '96 would have been built largely with tables, not CSS. CSS didn't become a thing until a couple of years later.

I know this because I'm still salty about the transition. For all of CSS's advantages, we lost something when we largely moved away from tables.

You can still use tables.

I was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult in a healthcare system that doesn't consistently recognize and treat ADHD in adults. Many clinicians are unfamiliar with it and still believe in myths like ADHD being a disorder that only affects children, or who fail to recognize ADHD as the primary condition and waste years of people's lives on diagnosis and medications that don't work, so I was forced to largely figure it out myself to try to advocate for myself - DSM-5, ICD-11, research papers, personal experiences from other people.

This is a long shot but have any of you had issues with noise and light sensitivity?

It’s something new that started happening to me in my early 30s. I can’t seem to get a diagnosis. Wondering if it’s autism related.

I’ve been to a bunch of specialists and they say it’s all in my head. But car headlights look 10x brighter than they should. And cutlery sounds 10x louder.

It feels like some people just say things these days. Research shows that autism and ADHD are highly comorbid, I forget the exact numbers off the top of my head but they're something like ~50% of autistic people having ADHD, and ~20% of people with ADHD having autism.

So then you grow up as autistic and/or ADHD person which creates a lot of social friction and conflict in your life, you're called lazy, careless, difficult, overly sensitive, and this is particularly bad if you're undiagnosed. You don't fit in socially so you develop social anxiety (this is par for the course), and after a while that can spiral into depression or even a personality disorder, you might start to self-medicate which can turn into a substance use disorder, and ultimately people afflicted by these disorders are taking their own lives at alarming rates. You should look up statistics for suicidal ideation among children and adults with autism for a reality check.

Most of this can be prevented if those affected were diagnosed and offered support as early in life as possible.

So no, having ADHD and autism, two very closely related neurodiversities, and then developing anxiety as a result of that is not at all unusual.

How are you so familiar with the topic? I feel like you described my life perfectly.

If there’s a phrase to describe this wonderful experience of life, it’s “social friction.”

It feels like that whatever you seek to get diagnosed with you can get it.

The real question should be how many false positives does ADOS-2 produce? (The gold standard of autism diagnosis)
