The war to end all wars, they called it

There was no need to call me out like that

Steroids? I’ve never heard of those being a treatment for ADHD

Blood tests help to exclude other reasons for symptoms so they absolutely have bearing.

Well, I had to go through excessive tests, including blood work and EEG.

Well, last time I checked they said it would take 3-5 years waiting time to get an appointment, recently I learned they don’t even have an open waiting list right now.

For ADHD it means you can try medication to help you. For ASD it wouldn’t change anything for me personally so I’m not going to bother.

Personal experience from Germany but also heard from others in the UK: it’s easier to get an ADHD diagnosis as an adult than an ASD diagnosis as an adult.

Well, for a lot of neurodivergent people it’s actually a part of who we are, not a condition we have, so even though you might not like it doesn’t mean it’s wrong. Personally I hate people telling me that I have autism and ADHD. I am both those things.

Those still happen? I honestly believed these things were firmly in the past.

So much this!

You’re welcome and I probably could have worded that better but yes, I was quoting them.

Pretty much, yes. He didn’t know anything and if the authorities had told him he’d have fired the guy but instead the authorities waited until the European election was close so they could make him out to be the bad guy.

They won’t happen anymore this off-season either way.

I have no issues with veganism but I do have issues with being attacked because I’m not vegan. I’ve been attacked for using cow milk even after explaining that I can’t use plant milk because of sensory issues.

Funnily enough, just like you said, I know vegans IRL who would never behave that way and of course I accommodate their dietary choices when I’m in charge of food.

I think it’s mostly an Internet thing when you just see the loudest minority instead of the more quiet majority.

No. It’s decriminalized within the first twelve weeks after having a counseling session with an acknowledged center. It’s still technically illegal though and until recently doctors were not even allowed to mention on their homepage that they performed abortions
