I've seen a few posts recently expressing frustration with neurotypical people and the secret implications an interaction can have. This might be obvious to a lot of people but I've been trying to figure out how I can be useful to others.

Just got out of an "attendance discussion" (quotes because it was scheduled electronically with that title) because i had a week off from covid (tested and documented) after being injured and having my compo claim accepted.

I brought a notebook with a folder in it and a pen. I wrote down the date and time of the meeting and the people present.

Just presenting that you're keeping a record of things is enough to change the entire dynamic between you and a supervisor. Unless you're being managed by the owner of a small company your supervisor has a supervisor and so on. When you show them that you are taking notes you are also showing them that you would have more credibility in a dispute that goes above their head.

Even if you're the dishwasher's assistant and you bring out a ratty looking notepad and scrawl something in it when your boss calls you into the office for being late. "Arrived 2:07pm for afternoon dish shift, dishpit empty, meeting with dylan"

I don't want to ramble too much but beyond this specific scenario of being in trouble you can use it to empower yourself at work. Writing down every day that you work and the times you show up and leave can help you defend a shorted paycheque or let you fudge the numbers a bit and go home early without approval because you keep a record "it says i left at 10pm bro I don't remember leaving early"

Use your phone if you want but older people will not respect your notes as much because they perceive electronic records to be more susceptible to manipulation than pencil on paper because idk. Better than no record, though. Plus when someone asks what you're doing in your phone you can say oh I'm just writing something down.

That's the post thanks

All the roms on the old rom site i used to use are no longer available. I'm afraid to just google this sort of thing because it might tell me to put bugs in my butt or something.

Classic consoles and handhelds like pre-DS Nintendo or Sega Genesis if possible

Every screening and official diagnostic I've taken has me scoring max ADHD points and every time someone describes a symptom I'm left confused that other people don't have them.

Will my personality change? I feel like being a disorganized disheveled loud interrupter is most of my personality at this point idk.

I've never done any stimulants beyond drinking a million coffees per day so i have some anxiety about this

I didn't ask for it but i personally think a local only comm is a good idea so I'm making a post
