when i say i'm #neurodivergent, THIS is what i mean. these are the results of a series of brain tests i underwent when i was 28. they show that i'm very intelligent, but i easily forget what i'm told, my attention span is quite short, and i'm slow to make decisions. a normally developed person would have scores that are much closer to 50% on a test like this. the scores are percentiles. if you score 5% on something, you're 1 in 20 people in a bad way. if you score 95%, you're 1 in 20 people in a good way. these tests, which took an entire day, were what my psychiatrist used as the basis for my #ADHD diagnosis in my late 30s. i turned 40 this year, so it came pretty late. somewhat paradoxically, i got a high executive function score. you're not supposed to have high executive function when you have ADHD. but i think this is explained by the fact that they're not testing your real-life executive function, only your ability to solve a puzzle in a lab. they can't test your life management skills, which is the most important part. getting and keeping friends, jobs and romantic partners serve as a good test of that, however, and i have always struggled there. i'm not too interested in speaking to any more doctors about this or trying any more medications, because they can't really do anything about the things i really care about, such as serving a purpose, and having real-life friends and a life partner. considering the above, and going by the theory of "opposites attract", i should be married to someone who is very plain but very organised, so she can "run the business" while i "entertain the guests". image

mostr.pub gateway between Nostr and Mastodon is as reliable as ever, i see. the posts don't make it across half the time and are often invisible to people who don't have the right relay added. when i post to Mastodon, luck decides if anyone on Nostr will see it.

if you follow me on here, you will want to follow thor_at_berserker.town@mostr.pub as well, since that's where i'm active for the most part. for that to work reliably, you want to add relay.mostr.pub to your relays though.

still waiting for the microblogging platform that puts a little indicator on the posts, so people can tell if i'm in the mood for a discussion or am just venting my frustrations, and the only meaningful interaction you could have with me without annoying me further is to kiss my feet.

"essential workers" are a bit like air everybody needs them but the supply is plentiful so the value is low

the usual symbol for a "like" on nostr is ๐Ÿค™ and that's the phone hand gesture, so it's more like "i'm listening in" than "i approve"

a Mastodon meme "toot" used to be the name of the button that sent a post off naturally, tooting involves a lot of hot air... image
