Kochani, PKP w czasach wędrówki ludów z okazji grobbingu jak zwykle niezawodne. Na dworcu w Kielcach nie działa żaden wyświetlacz, pani przez megafon szepcze, Orłowicz ma 16 minut opóźnienia, a ja oczywiście dopiero dzisiaj jadę oddać mojemu krakowskiemu właścicielowi laptopa i telefon, gdyż robienie rzeczy na ostatnią chwilę to moja druga natura.
Tak, tę dokumentację, co to ją miałam oddać trzy tygodnie temu, to skończyłam wczoraj koło 21.
Dedlajny są dla słabych.
New account, new #introduction post!
I’m Rhys, a writer, solarpunk, and witch/druid living in the Midlands, UK. My pronouns are they/them, although I’m currently exploring my gender, so that may change.
I've just set up a new blog: https://www.panga.blog/about
I will accept most follow requests!

So, tbh, I would not change anything about having #Autism and #ADHD. Sure, if I had been diagnosed properly and had more support, some aspects of my life would have been easier. But I have no regrets on having a semi-eidetic memory, being able to recognize patterns, thinking outside the box, etc. What I could have used less of? Being bullied, not knowing there were others like me out there (and the subsequent isolation), over-masking and paying the price, having meltdowns from not understanding sensory overstimulation, etc. But it's never too late to delve into self-understanding and awareness, and, most importantly, building community with like-others!

#KenPaxton filed the suit against Johnson & Johnson, which sold #Tylenol for decades, & Kenvue, a spinoff company that has sold the drug since 2023.
The #Texas lawsuit claims that the companies knowingly withheld evidence from consumers about Tylenol’s links to #autism & #ADHD. The suit also claims that Kenvue was created to shield Johnson & Johnson from liability over Tylenol.
Ridiculous
#KenPaxton, the Republican AG of #Texas & all around POS, sued the makers of #Tylenol Tuesday, claiming that the companies hid the risks of the drug on brain development of children.
The lawsuit is the latest fallout from #Trump’s claim last month that use of Tylenol during pregnancy can cause #autism. That link is UNPROVEN.

This video gave me hope for my malnourished and traumatized inner-child :')
This video gave me hope for my malnourished and traumatized inner-child :')
a pet peeve of mine.
the subsequent polish governments (no matter which party) are quite happy of passing on costs of treatment of adult adhd entirely to the people who are affected, and that means everything from diagnosing to the treatment.
getting diagnosed via the public healthcare system is near impossible; the costs of the diagnosis using the private healthcare are roughly ~1000 PLN (~240€).
then there are costs of the treatment: commonly prescribed amount of metylphenidate sr (28 capsules á 30mg) costs ~100 PLN/month; because metylphenidate is listed in the official schedule of psychotropic and narcotic substances (in the section II-P), and can be only prescribed for up to 90 days, you need to add a visit to (again) a private psychiatrist every three month. overall, roughly ~200 PLN/m or rather ~600 PLN every three months.
and that's just pure pharmacological treatment, no therapy.
and if you ask, yes, the government and ministry are very well aware of the situation, and the government officials explicitly communicated that they won't make any moves to establish refunds for the treatment because the relatively high prevalence of adult adhd would mean additional stress on the healthcare system.

So, my little Etsy shop has been doing well lately. 🎨

When I was first diagnosed as #ADHD and #Autistic several years ago, I carried a lot of shame around things like fidgeting and repetitive movements. With time, I’ve learned to understand myself better and let go of that stigma. This journey is what pushed me to start making fidgets and neurodivergent-focused tools for others, and to share them online. I put a lot of care into creating thoughtful items that I hope genuinely improve people’s lives.
To any who have supported me and found my products useful, thank you from the bottom of my heart for trusting me and allowing me to help. 💜
So - yay. All that to say that I’m happy. 😊 (Edit: see some of my favourite creations attached)
Next time you run across someone from the 'everyone has ADHD these days' chorus, consider giving them a link to this episode of The Elephant podcast about ADHD. Worth a listen;
