»ADHS bei Erwachsenen – Anpassung bis zum Burnout?«

Das «Anderssein» von ADHS verlangt von den Betroffenen, sich ständig an gängige Normen anzupassen. Chronischer Stress ist vorprogrammiert. Die Diagnose als Teil der Identität annehmen und Stärken nutzen, kann befreiend sein.

My Son and Gus Walz Deserve a Champion Like Tim Walz

Incandescently brilliant piece by Tina Brown on her autistic son and Gus Walz. We must BURY Trump and Vance at the ballot box and shovel dirt down the throat of the zombie corpse of the former Republican party. Please spread this gift link.

I hadn't noticed how Fox & Fiends were apparently ridiculing a proud, exhuberant son, #TrumpVirus style - pure ignorance & disrespect. Then I saw the reports, not surprising but a reminder of the hate & #disinformation spreading #GQP #media can be.

Supposedly unlocked, but YMMV.... So above is the heart of it. #truth

Science confirms that you can breathe through your anus

A team of Japanese researchers has developed a surprising technique for adding oxygen to the blood that could be used to save human lives. The treatment, successfully tested on pigs, consists of passing an oxygen-rich liquid through the anus. The report was published in the journal 'Med'.

People with low blood oxygen levels, for example from serious illnesses like pneumonia or acute respiratory distress syndrome, can be treated in intensive care with a ventilator, which blows air into their lungs. But this can damage tissue. Scientists wondered whether mammals could absorb oxygen through their intestines, as some aquatic organisms do. Sea cucumbers, freshwater fish called loaches, and certain freshwater catfish use their intestines to breathe. In mammals, the rectum is lined with a thin membrane that allows certain compounds to be absorbed into the bloodstream, which is why some drugs are given as suppositories.

In the new study, the team tested the idea in pigs by giving them enemas of a type of liquid called perfluorocarbon, which can contain high levels of oxygen. These fluids have been investigated as a way to breathe liquid and are already used to help protect the lungs of premature babies. Obviously, this is nowhere near enough to figure out how to breathe properly to sing.

As reported in the journal New Scientist, the researchers anesthetized four pigs and put them on a ventilator that gave them a lower-than-normal breathing rate, so their blood oxygen levels dropped. When they gave two of the pigs enemas of oxygenated fluid, replaced once an hour, their blood oxygen levels increased significantly after each infusion. The same effect occurred when the fluid was administered by a tube surgically inserted into the rectums of the other two pigs.

Kennt ihr das? Also ihr nicht neurotypischen sondern eher ADHS gehirne.

Dieses zweite wach. Wenn der körper sich auspowern konnte und das gehirn insgesamt in einer leichten müdigkeit verweilt.

Und genau _deswegen_ dann hellwach ist? Weil auf einmal das gehirn auf einem gesamt-energielevel laufen kann, welcher "nicht normal ist für ein adhs gehirn"? Plötzlich funktioniert die vernetzung zwischen den einzelnen teilen des gehirns perfekt. Und das ergebnis davon ist. Du bist wach. Du bist voll und ganz auf der höhe. Vielleicht mit einem leichten anflug von körperlicher müdigkeit..

Aber dein gehirn ist gerade erst aus einem stundenlangem traumschlaf aufgewacht und ist jetzt voll da. Voll aktiv. Voller ideen. Voller kreativität.

Und voller klarheit .... die den ganzen tag über nur mühsam herstellbar war.....

Dieses zweite wach..... wenn alle anderen am einpennen sind, aber du selbst noch vollkommen wach und aufgepowert bist. Eben weil dein scheiss gehirn nur genau so funktioniert....

Manchmal hasse ich gewisse #neurodivergenzen

Do you know that? So you don't have a neurotypical brain, but rather and ADHD brain.

This second state of being awake. When the body has been able to exert itself and the brain as a whole lingers in a little tiredness.

And exactly _because of_ that it is wide awake? Because suddenly the brain can run at an overall energy level that "is not normal for an adhd brain"? Suddenly the network between the individual parts of the brain works perfectly. And the result of that is. You're awake. You are totally up to par. Maybe with a slight hint of physical tiredness..

But your brain has just woken up from hours of dreamy sleep and is now in full swing. Fully active. Full of ideas. full of creativity.

And full of clarity .... which was difficult to produce all day long.....

That second state of being awake.....when everyone else is falling asleep but you're still completely awake and totally energized to yourself. Just because your shitty brain only works that way....

Sometimes I hate certain #neurodivergences
