Adderall can (and does) cause changes to periods when you first start taking it. Heavier, earlier, more painful and/or irregular periods can happen. If you already have on top of and/or and experience just be prepared. I was about to leave for the emergency room when I looked this up and realized what it was.

There is no epidemic of . It’s an epidemic of need. The main reason we are finding more autism is simple: Clinicians are getting better at spotting what was always there. in adult settings often come to diagnosis later in life, frequently as mothers and grandmothers. This suggests many females still escape childhood diagnosis today. statnews.com/2023/03/23/autism

So it turns out the co-founder of the French association for :
1) is also the co-founder of the largest association for families with children in my area
2) is a raging , judging by her Twitter page.

Ugh. I sometimes hear that autistic people are less judgemental and bigoted than others. If true, that's clearly just an average over a whole group; autistic individuals can be painfully disappointing.

@btaroli @stephen @shaun @actuallyautistic be aware that just because we CAN do a thing doesn't mean it's going to be good for us over the long haul.

I masked and self-medicated my way through 20+ years of fulltime tech employment in an office environment, and ultimately the combination nearly cost me my life

Had I had a DX earlier, I might have opted for part-time or work as a writer, editor, or translator.

@jonielena In addition to the fact that we don’t present quite like people think women should present, have also been conditioned - even more than boys/men - to subjugate our personal boundaries and comfort to other people’s wants. “Make eye contact.” “Speak when you’re spoken to.” “Eat what’s on your plate.” “Give your auntie a hug.” “Stop ‘sulking’/‘making a fuss out of nothing’”.

We have been trained into perfect targets.

I am so angry right now.

Did any other get treated as children as if they were "girl light" or not quite girls?

I have other factors that make me question if it was a me thing, but I still suspect this is a common experience

All voices are welcome here, but definitely prioritizing those with lived experience. (For what I think may be obvious reasons, I'm not sure if Trans men will relate to this, but their thoughts are welcome, as well)
