We're working on a server for those struggling with executive dysfunction to have a support group which will include

Reminder Pings (for work, breaks and other things)

Homework Help Forums (with an extensive guide on how to mark it for more or less work, Urgency and work size)

Proof Of Completion Channel (to keep you accountable)

Reward Channel (Set a reward for yourself publically so you're less inclined to just take it before you are done- when you finish you link your proof of completion to it and people can congratulate you and tell you to get that well earned reward!)

Motivation Channel! (Ask for motivation to do things like cheering you on or if being told to do stuff helps ask there!)

Breaks channel with reminder pings allowed where you can chat but are encouraged to tell people to go work at breaks end :)

Completely Mute VC (for working fine but needing people there in presence to get stuff done)

Streaming VCs (for those needing to show work they are doing to make sure it gets done or need help- if you don't want help but need to screen share there is a mute screen share!)

VC Pings for body doubling

VC Ping generally

Gaming VC ping

Dead chat pings for both regular Chat and Gaming Chat

Distraction channels generally for when you're done and want to normally socialize! (You earned it!)

And more! (We will take requests!)

We will have some boundaries for who can join but will not go poking and proding

Consider it the honor system unless you talk about it yk?

You can comment to be pinged when we let ppl in if ya want

me as a kid:

hyperlexic

always yapping

early reader

would-get-mad-at-the-driver-for-passing-a-billboard-too-fast-to-be-read type kid

read-the-cereal-box-during-breakfast type kid

corrected adults using general terms favouring specific information

called out the teacher for spelling mistakes on the board

read one book a day

weird mix of formal speech and out of date slang vocabulary

me now:

keeps forgetting words or their meaning

poor diction

haven't touched a book in month

can't separate slang from formal speech

barely literate loser

the fuck happened let me go back

Okay, so, I've been suspecting I'm neurodivergent for a long time, and I need to know whether or not this is something other neurodivergent people also experience:

Do you guys also have the hardest time focusing on the people around you, like remembering birthdays or important details about the people you love and find yourselves hurting those people unintentionally because there is so much information and you end up losing the very information that mattered, then spiral into feeling so guilty it tanks your self-confidence to the point where you believe you're a terrible person?

Because it happens to me like... A lot.
