Mario? Screw that guy. I’d tip for Luigi, though.

Good guy HAL, making sure you learn your craft.

If the therapist doesn’t cut it you best cut the therapist. Make sure it’s not you who is preventing the therapy from being successful, though.

It’s bad for your metabolism.

Oh, I’m a racist now for not wanting to be invaded? Get the fuck outta here.

Our politicians didn’t start a war during the entirety of the Cold War, either. You might have succumbed to the fallacy of thinking that when a weapon is purchased it needs to be used to kill people.

No thank you. Defensive alliance, sure. But not attacking. We’re supposed to be the good guys, after all.

Finger bang bang into your life!

Seriously though, my experience with requesting a name change from the university IT dept. has been very positive.

Ideally, he would need someone to sit down and study with him. Encouraging him and refocusing him when he goes off track, but always in a positive mood. That takes a lot of time and effort, though, so I don’t know how feasible it is for you. You may want to look up the concept of scaffolding in the context of ADHD for this.

Things to try for him are listening to music while studying (some of us perform better with added stimuli) and having a source of glucose ready (glass of orange juice or similar to sip on). Some research I’ve read suggests that ADHD brains consume inordinate amounts of blood sugar when focusing.

Medication such as methylphenidate can also help but should only be administered following guidance from his doctor.

Ja, hallo, Deutschland hier.

Seriously, though, I hope we can find alternatives to bringing even more nuclear weapons into this already dangerous world.

Tbh I wasn’t sure and too lazy to look up WV’s allegiance during the Civil War…still worked for the joke, I think. 😁

More like “pnease net go”. 😅

Oh, THAT armed rebellion for “their rights”. Yeah. Yeah. That was a good one.

It’s bot spam, check their profile and report.

Alterations? Administered by autocorrect, as always?

He’d probably adore this admirable abundance of alliterations.

Yeah the mailman stuff was cool but the ghosts and not being able to just clap fools when necessary ended my run.

Maybe she’s singing along to Total Eclipse of the Heart.

Medication helps me a) to remember stuff for the minute or so that it takes sometimes to get around to it and b) to deal with interruptions better in that I can return to the previous task more easily.

I’m still very susceptible to sensory overload. But I find that clearly communicating how I’m doing with the people around me and excusing myself when I’m overloaded (or tired or whatever) works quite well for me.

Case in point, I was just playing a multiplayer online game with people and realized that I’m just too tired to properly process what’s going on anymore. So I told everyone I’m too tired to keep going, wished them a good night and told them I’d be happy to play with them again tomorrow. Younger me would have pushed on, resulting in drama and loss of self-control.

All that said, you might be suffering from something else entirely, so getting diagnosed is still the best course of action, IMHO.

That’s some flowery prose right there.
