@mblmdr97 @charistasnell Because that's what is required. There are guidelines asks they are sent back twice. Better to give them opportunity to find agreement than spend money retrying case. Also having witnesses testify again in a case like this.

@deblanc_jenna My child asks about the fan of doom that we haven't seen for awhile. 😉

@YodaKnows3 @IanRunkle @QuillBoston He's a practicing lawyer who also comments with colleagues on ongoing cases. Appreciate hearing a legal analysis of cases to understand the law. Also feel what that prosecutor did was very inappropriate, emotional & did not accurately reflect. Also put evidence on dirty desk.

@SomedaySouthVSS @rcohen There are many special needs children that wear diapers. Wheel chair/ autism/etc. There are also children that where nighttime pull-ups until age 8-10 because body doesn't create right chemicals to alert them to wake up.

@IanRunkle I lost all respect for that woman when she chose to discuss private details of a young child's murder that was not shared with public. Do not like her. She does not respect the dignity and privacy of others.

My neighbor's kid just quit the high school swim team after three years of being the slowest in every event. Kid was devastated. Thought he just didn't have it.

His dad, who swam competitively back in the day, couldn't figure it out. The kid had decent form, He trained hard. But his times were consistently 15-20% slower than kids with half his work ethic.

Out of frustration, the dad took him to a sports medicine clinic to get evaluated. Maybe asthma, Maybe something structural.

Doctor runs him through some tests. Watches him swim, Pulls the dad aside after and says: "Your son's goggles are filled with water, He's basically swimming blind and has been compensating by lifting his head every third stroke to see where he's going. It's adding massive drag."

Turns out the goggles were cheap ones from a big-box store. Seal was shot, Had been for over a year. Kid just thought that's how goggles worked, that everyone swam with water sloshing around their eyes.

They bought him a proper pair. First practice back, he dropped 18 seconds off his freestyle time.

Eighteen seconds, Because of a $12 piece of equipment nobody thought to replace.

Coach moved him up two lanes within a month.

The lesson stuck with me, How many people are out there right now grinding themselves into the dirt, convinced they're just not good enough, when really they're just working with broken tools and nobody's bothered to check?

Sometimes the problem isn't you.

@annyFLLx2 @SueOC_NBCBoston She will likely stay in courtroom or in courthouse holding area. That is where most deferments stay if not out on bond during trial and deliberations.

[Kelly💚🌴 @kelly_steffee]

I just had an appt with psychiatrist and I asked her now that we are in verdict watch what are her thoughts. She said that her office, just recently sent an email, that are required to take in as detailed as possible notes going forward. She already has an AI that writes everything we say so her notes have transcripts.

This case is changing things already

@floridarebelmom Andrea Yates has had several opportunities to leave her mental health facility by has chosen to stay. Likely will be same with Lyndsey. She needs full time care and supervision.

"The Harry and Meghan who left are not the Harry and Meghan who are returning

This is where I think the conversation gets particularly interesting.

People sometimes talk about the Sussexes returning to Britain as though they are simply reversing a decision they made six years ago.

But people aren’t frozen in time.

Harry is not the same man who left Britain in 2020.

Meghan isn’t the same woman either.

Six years have passed.

They have built businesses. They have created charitable initiatives. They have experienced extraordinary public scrutiny. They have raised two children. They have established a life in California.

Harry has also spent years fighting over his security arrangements in Britain.

So if he has now decided that his family can establish a home there, I have to assume he has considered the risks very carefully.

That doesn’t mean the risks have magically disappeared.

It means his assessment of those risks may have changed.

And that’s something adults are allowed to do.

We change our minds when circumstances change.

We reassess.

We learn.

We gather new information.

We make different calculations for our children than we might have made for ourselves." - Sueteh (Medium)

Studies confirm that ADHD brains struggle with object permanence beyond visual range. This is why ADHDers leave things out, keep tabs open, and resist putting things away. It is not laziness. It is a neurological survival strategy.

[𝐋𝐞𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐝 @be_like_legend1]

ADHD isn’t always hyperactivity. Sometimes it’s sitting in the same spot for 3 hours, thinking of 97 things to do, and doing none. Then hating yourself for it. Then dissociating. Then apologizing. Then repeating. It’s not laziness. It’s invisible burnout.

[Sophia ❣️ @KeruboSk]

High-functioning ADHD is replying to messages, meeting deadlines, making people laugh, showing up on time, and looking completely fine while your mind quietly burns itself alive behind the scenes. It’s becoming so good at masking the chaos that nobody notices how close you are to shutting down.

People praise you for being “disciplined” because they never see the hours lost frozen in bed, the exhaustion after basic tasks, the constant war inside your own head just to function normally. You learn to perform stability so well that your suffering becomes invisible. And the darkest part is eventually realizing nobody is coming to notice the difference between “coping” and “surviving.”

Undiagnosed neurodivergent kids often grow into adults who believe they’re only allowed to rest when they completely collapse.

[cessi 🥤 @ceciiii07]

Non adhd people will never understand our perception of time.

This morning i was stressed because i had to get somewhere by 10, so i asked if my mom would microwave some breakfast for me while i was still getting ready, and she said "oh don't worry you'll have time. It's not even 9:00 yet”.

And she said this at 8:56.

Oh to live in a world where 8:56 is not equal to 9:00.

8:56 is absoLUTELY 9:oclock

8:40 is 9:oclock

8:30 is 9:oclock

EVERYTHING IS 9:oclock

AND IM GOING TO BE LATE

THE NEURODIVERGENT URGE TO OVER EXPLAIN ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING IN HOPES TO AVOID MISUNDERSTANDINGS, BUT THEN GETS ANXIOUS THAT MY OVEREXPLAINING WAS ANNOYING & CAUSE MORE CONFUSION

[‏ً @omgsidewalks]

People with ADHD can actually feel rejection, criticism, or misunderstanding on a much deeper level than others realize. It’s not “in your head.” Your nervous system often reacts faster, louder, and more intensely than average.
A simple message can feel heavy. A neutral tone can feel cold. A small correction can quickly turn into shame, anxiety, or the urge to shut down and withdraw.
It’s like your brain struggles to slow the emotional response, so everything hits at full volume, all at once.
But this isn’t weakness. It isn’t being dramatic. And it isn’t something wrong with your personality.

[Sophia ❣️ @KeruboSk]

Neurodivergent traits and what they often look like in real life:

1. Time blindness is real
You either think you have plenty of time or suddenly everything is urgent RIGHT NOW, there’s no middle ground.

2. Executive dysfunction in action
You know exactly what needs to be done… but your brain refuses to start it, like all the “apps” are open but frozen.
Interest-based motivation only.

3. If it’s interesting, you can do it for hours. If it’s not, it feels weirdly impossible, even if it’s important.
