| I had such a good first day of the semester at university today, but I am waaaaay overstimulated and over-caffeinated, so I decided to plan things out for the next couple of days rather than do homework. I'm pretty impressed withe my super-simple planning chart, which is on normal sized paper so I c... |

| I grew up with my dad listening to Ibrahim Ferrer/ Beunavista Social Club and other Afro-Cuban Jazz, or music in whichever language he was learning at he time (languages are one of his special interests). Right now it's Gujarati music because my brother married a woman whose parents are from India a... |

Leaving for an early morning train ride in a few hours... just remembered I have a ton of ear-plugs from the student disability services at my university. Score.  |

| Christmas is waaaay stressful for me, even when I was a kid. I can barely leave the house without having sensory overload; stores (and MALLS) are the worst. I'm thankful for online shopping. My fiance has been so helpful this year- I haven't answered the phone in a couple weeks, which has really hel... |

| I just wanted to jump in to offer support, even if it doesn't help much :/ My mom, who was diagnosed with ADHD after I was, and my dad, who is probably un-diagnosed with ASD, always had a hard time fitting in themselves when it comes to clothes, and never gave me much direction or criticism either w... |

| I don't think Penn Jillette, or anyone else for that matter, gets everything right all of the time. I do think this video about how Americans, and other people, think of the word "Christian" has a lot to do with how we think of the word "Muslim". I mean, who are we talking about?... |

| Don't judge yourself for not getting her diagnosed early, if that's what is going on. My mom basically said she felt guilty for not noticing after I was diagnosed with ADHD last year, and then again now that I'm 25 and getting screened in February for ASD. She and my dad were always extremely suppor... |

| I recently started Boxing (about 5 months ago). Classes are twice a week; most weeks I go both days, some weeks not at all if I get too busy, but I never feel the pressure to drop out completely if I miss a few days, because no one else does and the gym mentality seems to be "we all have busy l... |

| I love riding my bike for transportation and leisure. I ride an average of 20 minutes every day when school is in session. I'm currently living in northern Minnesota, and I quickly discovered that I would rather ride my bike in the snow than take up time defrosting and scraping my car in the morning... |

| Most of my life I've had a model of two "best friends" at a time, and then a circle of people who I considered friends because I got used to them being around with one or both of my "best friends". Of course, there were also times in my life when I had no friends. Now my best fri... |

| Hi, I am going by "pill" because it was an endearing phrase my Granny used when I was being unruly or difficult as a kid, but not actually bad; that is, "You're a pill", followed by a hug and a laugh. I am 25 years old, and I have had an ADHD diagnosis for a year now, and I am se... |
