Uh, that’s because we were there to study. Who has time for relationship drama when the graphics course alone is sucking up 25 hours a week of your time?!

I have severe hyperacusis, and similar trouble separating sounds. I also have light sensitivity, and get migraines, and balance trouble, and nausea from flashing lights, moving lights, and rhythmic noises. It’s exhausing the amount of each of these.

I honestly haven’t been that active in it for a few years. When my ex got the house I had to return to renting, and landlords don’t like it when you punch holes in the building for feedlines and put up antennas for some reason.

Back before ‘screen time’, we looked at books instead of playing face-to-face with other children. It might be telling you something, but not what the the headline would make you think.

When I was a kid, my nose was always inside a book. My parents had to yell my name to get my attention. If I was that age now, it’d be a screen. Correlation isn’t causation yadda yadda…

Put a “u” between the “A” and “D” and I feel seen.

As a humanitarian, I really can’t recommend it.

That is a truly brilliant discussion of ADHD, and condemnation of the educational system.
Bonus: “Gifted is just neurodivergent in a different way.”
Clouds and boxes, again.
