Hey! Thanks for all this. I'm currently self employed so my boss is a bit of hard ass! J/k. It's good to know about the neurofeedback. If I get a second opinion, I'll keep it in mind.

I've realized that I have certain times of day I'm more productive and know how long I can work during each session. I'm good for about 1.5 hours three to four times a day with 45 minute breaks between. But more coping techniques and formally investigating it with community knowledge would be great for me.

If you've ever hurt some one badly enough to cause a break in the relationship, you know the apology is just the start to the repair.

So the one cited study is from 2021. All of those behaviors make sense for 2021. But the article fails to link to a study that ran for four years. I tried poking around to find one, but failed.

Believe it or not, that was my first impression as well. I really didn't use it because it seemed like it would end up costing me money. But about a month ago, they sent out a survey asking why I wasn't using it. I suspect we werent the only ones not giving it a shake. I didn't do the survey, but it reminded me to give it a try. Throwing this book in there has been great and the free AI voices have a nice flow for the most part.

Much more than the diagnosis, I've been more interested in the coping techniques. I don't think my manifestation is so bad that I need medication, though I was sincerely curious if it would change things for the better. I might try for a second opinion. The practitioner even gave a reference for someone who died more comprehensive testing, but she doesn't take insurance. So I'm waffling a bit.

I'll check out this ADHD life. I feel like it's been mentioned in other communities, but honestly can't remember.

Cheers!

Check out elevenlabs. They used to do a reader I liked, Omnivore. It's pretty natural sounding. As of now, it's free, but I like it.

Glad you two clicked. It's nice knowing someone out there has similar ideas and a different way of solving problems.

I tried to get an ADHD diagnosis a year ago. The practitioner basically said no but it was hard for her because I was so on the line. But when I hear the litany of behaviors by a subset of people with ADHD, it can bring me to tears because it's nice to see I'm not the only one.

PM work can be fun for sure.

Awesome. I've been feeding the ebook into a text to speech reader. It's been working for me.

I'm glad to hear you have a boss that's open to your mode of thinking. Good luck and I wish you well!

I'm not a nostalgic one, but Space Cadet got me with all the good feels.

If this was what was commented, I'd have a different argument and tone. But they were explicit in mentioning lashing out.

We can discuss your statement, but I didn't want to muddy my response with it.

I'd recommend reading Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World. I'm not sure that all the claims hold up to scrutiny, but it's nice to see a book that notes the way I like to think has real world application.

Somethings I suspect you're doing are:

• Analogical Thinking of Deep Structures to create an Outside View (Chapter 5)
• Spacing which gives time away from a problem and asks part of the mind to re-collect the issue so you know those deeper structures well. This is presented in the chapter on learning, but I suspect it's relevant here (Chapter 4)

Oddly enough, if your boss wants to foster creative problem solving for novel problems, this book might convince him to give you more latitude and resources to do your thing.

Sure, people lash out. Cool. Don't give them a pass. Again, nothing in the post said you had to give them a pass for lashing out because you understand that their trauma caused them to lash out. Where are you getting that the post even remotely suggests this? What part of the post is this the other side of the coin?

Nothing in the original post says anything about giving traumatized people a pass for lashing out.
