  • Not really, though. Rigid structure helps with ADHD, but only when someone else is enforcing the structure. Prepubescent kids with ADHD aren’t typically capable of maintaining their own structure. They aren’t neurotypical, it’s more than distraction and energy, they have a functioning issue. They can’t tune out all the stimulus that normal brains do, and because of it they miss a lot of social cues that help with development.

    My son has ADHD and no amount of reorienting our family environment would help him - he could (and has) literally be in a bare concrete room with nothing but his thoughts and get distracted and slam his hands together making exploding/punching sounds for hours, where a typical kid would get bored in seconds.








  • Honestly, the trick will be to get every new mother to take it by default. Everyone always thinks they’re fine… until they’re not. Feeling overwhelmed and ‘blue’ is very common, it’s the postpartum psychosis that is the problem and there is no way to tell whether someone is just going to get tearful or drown their baby. So, I think it should just be routine for mom to take this for a few weeks postpartum.



  • I tend to agree with the sentiment here that we are all the winners for having discovered and are still using kbin, a platform that most wouldn’t have even known about before Reddit’s shenanigans. Though, I want to point out that total user activity on kbin is down 7,000 people since about 10 days ago

    It seems people are either going back, or are abandoning for Lemmy because of their abundance of mobile apps. Artemis is a decent kbin app, and is almost ready to release for public beta now that the API is complete (just waiting on integration) - though I fear it needs to happen sooner than later if we are to retain the userbase.
