as my dad would say, “you’d complain if you’s hung with a new rope”

this is just an ad

I’ve been waiting for this ever since I learned about CRISPR! Knowing that sickle cell anemia is the result of a single point mutation, I always figured it would be one of the first diseases cured by gene therapy.

I think “kicked off” is not quite the right explanation. Linking to a post in another instance this way leads to being logged out. I can see a link from lemmy.world while still in my home instance, but if I visit lemmy.world, where I don’t have an account, I am logged out.

The study concludes that the evidence suggests that genetic factors influence a child’s screen time, not the other way around :)

This raises the possibility that long screen time is not a cause of ASD, but rather an early symptom that ASD individuals are more attracted to objects than to people. Conversely, the ADHD-PRS was found to be associated with changes in screen time during the observation period. ADHD-PRS was associated with increase in screen time, which was potentially thought to be associated with ADHD subjects’ susceptibility to gaming addiction.

Parents of children with neurodevelopmental disorders are often criticized for allowing their children too much screen time in order to reduce parenting difficulties, which may deprive the children of opportunities to acquire language and social skills (Lissak, 2018; Trinh et al., 2020). To our knowledge, this is the first study to show that genetic risks for neurodevelopmental disorders may affect the length of screen time in children. Thus, caregivers of children with neurodevelopmental disorders should be helped and offered alternative behavioural management strategies.

lol hexbears when called out on their excessive toxicity: here, have some more toxicity! that’ll show ‘em they’re wrong about us!

Both of the victims told the air crew what happened. They were moved to new seats and that was that. The airline then refused to share details of the incidents or their protocol for handling such issues with anyone, and they signed the paper for the unaccompanied minor claiming her daughter had been delivered safely. Sure, she was delivered, but she was assaulted.

The 19 year old was asked what she wanted to do, but she had just been assaulted and the onus to act should not have been on her. She clearly wasn’t feeling listened to or supported, so she just dropped it in defeat.

I’ve done the exact same thing in the face of a cop asking me “yea but did he ever make you feel in danger?” regarding the man who was stalking me and taking pictures of me through my window. Of course I felt in danger, but the cops face was so annoyed and dismissive, with a “what do you expect me to do about it” tone.

The airline has made conflicting statements. At one point they claimed they were never told of the incidents, at another they claim they followed the appropriate protocol and detail exactly how they responded to being told. I’m not inclined to believe them when they can’t keep their story straight.

I think that’s more common for autism. My brother is autistic and that characteristic is very true for the things he is interested in. While there is a lot of overlap between autism and ADHD, there are some big differences as well.

(Not the person you originally replied to) I forget things no matter how important or interesting they are to me, I have to make serious efforts to remember most things.

Neurotypical people experience most ADHD symptoms some of the time, but not at a frequency that significantly negatively impacts their life. Similar to depression, everyone gets sad but only some are clinically depressed.

Depends on how often you experience these symptoms! If you experience them daily or nearly constantly, it would be worth investigating.

Much like depression, everyone gets sad but not everyone is clinically depressed. All ADHD symptoms are experienced by neurotypical people, it’s about the frequency and severity of the symptoms that determines diagnosis. If you experience these symptoms on a daily basis, or nearly constantly, you should look into getting tested for ADHD.

damn, 1 short of a blackout lol (talking too long and fast for anyone to keep up). just replace it with “constant, unrelenting music in my head, sometimes multiple songs at once” and I’m a winner

I hope you get some help. This is two days in a row you’ve received a handful of downvotes then threatened suicide. People will downvote for random reasons, you can’t base your self worth around how many upvotes/downvotes your receive. Good luck.

It is much better, thank you!

Looks cool but I can barely read it, got a higher quality version you can upload?

you are now a mod at blahaj

You could help pay for it! I contribute $5/month to the creator.

Same! There are still a few glitches that need to be worked out, but crashing happens rarely. If the app does crash in the middle of typing something, it saves it for the next time you open the app. The creator is active and makes regular updates so I’m very happy with this app.

Yes, that hypothetical would reverse the script. However, neurotypical people still vastly outnumber neurodivergent people. It can feel like an overwhelming amount of people online are neurodivergent, but in the “real world” we’re still very much a minority.
