I just watch YouTube and laugh. Generally media is how I make the days bearable.

We have saddle sandals for the bathroom.

Her main problems are concentrating in lessons. We think she may have other learning disability and her grades are suffering for it.

We intended to at least enroll her in summer courses but she’s as stubborn as ox. She thinks it is waste of money, feeling that she’s just lazy.

I dont think your wrong though, both about me and her, I just dont know where to go from here.

When ever you bring up stimming, people jump to stress balls, and like, not all motion is the same. For me to actual process stuff, i need to be pacing, and so mh default is to reread my notebook, which is why i panicked when in university we were suddenly expect to do our own notes.

I dont think so? If I am actually sick and not just a minor cold, I dont much energy anyhow, nevermind keeping track of my surroundings.

It really sounds like the voice in my head calling me lazy, like bro, is this the best you can do?

Using Voyager here and had no issue, its on the app store.

At most the school could have offered you Urdu instead of Hindi

You know, I never thought of it that way, probably would have made the transition back to Arabic easier too, when I moved back to my country.

Whoever invented Piggybacks, should carry the sins of their predecessor on his back to hell.

What does Larp mean here?

I lived in India(in what at the time, was called Hyderabad) for a while, as a foreign Arab. Most of the curriculum was in English, with both Telugu(the official language) and Hindu language subjects. I hated it.

Coming from an Arab country where the most English we were taught was the ABCs, and then being told I had to juggle 3 entirely new language. I wasn’t even exempt from it. I would alternative from getting 61 out 75 in a hindui exam to falling the class, depending on if the teacher let’s me cheat.

I couldn’t even tell you what letters I was writing, I just drew them as a I saw them. My dad even forced me to watch Hindi cartoons in the hopes I will magically pick it up. For a while, I even had a Telugu teacher teaching me the alphabets. None of it stuck.

Honestly that period of my life was really damaging. I left India with full English and not a hint of Arabic. Coming back to the Arab world, to even get to the point of conversing with people again took years, and I still don’t know how to read or write beyond a first graders level. Reading still gives me a headache.

I feel you. I keep discovering (or rather admitting) that I have issue, not just ADHD, and it feels failure on my part that I didn’t treat those before entering adulthood.

I have also started meds for three weeks now but other than hunger, haven’t seen much difference.

Same honestly, and I wish that the street felt safe for people and not choking with parked and moving cars.

Also, more bigger buses.

Isn’t dangerous to take medication with stuff other than water, especially other drugs?

I drink cuz of bored and cuz I get sick of tea. Juice isn’t really a viable regular drink here.

But I am worried about caffeine withdrawnls and if that miss with the medication. Maybe I should have sorted my addiction first before starting meds?

I was gonna wait regardless thought and haven’t had coffee for 3 days now.

I do have to ask, why do ppl drink decaf at all? Like i don’t even like the taste of coffee.

My problem is the opposite. I think I need 2 hours for stuff that needs 15 min

Yeah, its a progressive web-app. It started that way, as web app you can add to your home screen, optimized for touch, long before it was a mobile app.

You could even self-host it, my home instance has its own self-host voyager instance.

That’s meant to distract you from Grandma in the bottom left corner.
