It's been a trip hearing how much testing others have gone through. IIRC, we had all of one conversation with our psychiatrist (albeit one we had already been seeing for a while) and got our diagnosis. But then it wasn't exactly

Speaking as someone who only got our ADHD diagnosis in our late thirties and our autism spectrum diagnosis at forty fucking two, please consider just telling them. That could be years or decades of social, pharmacological, and even legal

Not really, actually, and not for a lack of trying very very hard at times. Even when we tried LSD the most it did was make us more aware of the actual curvature of our eyes' lenses, lessening the mental illusion of uniformity.

We strongly suspect we have SDAM as well and only more so after reading your description here. Only got diagnosed with ADHD a few years ago and as on the autism spectrum this year, here in our forties as well. This whole topic fascinates us

As someone who grew up in an evangelical household, learned about pareidolia at a young age in the course of escaping it, and who practices Zen meditation: You nailed it.

Xe highly recommend the series! Xe keep going back to them for bedtime audio book listening. Chapters alternate between fact and fiction and the mix of intriguing narrative and drier but compelling academic talk help put xir otherwise overl

In the third person? Yes. It's a quirk of xir plurality and even more confusing from the inside, let xe tell you!

Indeed. Only cracked xir enby trans egg shortly before hitting thirty. But xir midlife crisis had far more to do with an abusive ex, "normative" but foolish financial choices, and other mental health issues. The gender matters wer

And this unsolicited, off-topic comment doesn't do that as well? :3

Vigorously seconding this as an enby in xir early 40s who's only just figuring a lot of shit out and still has so very much left to go. So much left to discovery and explore about xirselves, too. Seconding that entire list of recom

Correct. Xe tried xir damnedest (pun intended) to become one growing up. It didn't take.

Oh! Xir entire software developer career has been built on skills xe taught xirselves from childhood (never took a CS course in college; majored in fine arts) so this sounds absolutely perfect! Probably would have crushed it there back in t

Oh honey, xe are visibly queer. None of the above is new to xe, as a matter of survival. And a matter of sanity, as xe were raised to believe that the world was created from whole cloth six thousands years ago and that dinosaurs either live

Want to have your mind blown? The creationist fallacy of "irreducible complexity" isn't just wrong for eyeballs and flagellum but for upward complexity as well. And lateral complexity.

Oh damn, xe really want to look into WGU after this.

The trick here is that we can reject OP's unnecessarily binary categorization as a premise and focus on the illogical and under-developed personal systems for testing reality and challenging beliefs that represent a far greater concern

Exactly this. Not to mention the tens of thousands of people who were killed in the witch trials (medieval and contemporary ), among so very many other examples. Few things are more personally relevant than not getting tortured and execut

Xir father used to argue the same thing. But the micro vs. macro distinction is only one of time and scale and that's the whole point: species aren't "real," even fish aren't "real" in any ontological sens

Precisely this. Xe were raised young earth creationist and that requires gaslighting your own child on established science, going so far as to regularly test them on their willing to believe or lie about believing patent untruths. Oh, plus
