Tbh the advice I've heard is that if you are put on a PIP then it's time to search for a new job. Not even in terms of neurodivergence but just general advice for everyone. I think PIPs are generally businesses covering their asses so they can fire you without risk of a lawsuit.

Personally I'd give up on the script and convincing them it's a disability aid and instead spend that energy job hunting instead.

(To me, your boss asking you what you'd do if you lost access to it, sounds like they're already convinced that you're not the employee they want...)

    This is very cute but I can't hold myself back from being pedantic here... Surely this is breakfast time, yes? Coffee, juice, croissants, and toast.

    Could be breakfast for dinner I suppose, I don't know the habits of puffins 😏

    Did he move to a new company site in Seattle or is he working remote now?

    If they gave a cost of living increase for moving and allow him to do remote work, please tell me who you work for 😅

    I know if I were moving, my company would offer me the option to go remote, because I'm the top performer on my team. But there's no way they'd give me a cost of living increase to go remote, they don't even want me to wfh a couple days a week...

    She refuses to let you get meds? This is extremely controlling behavior which sounds very concerning. You deserve bodily autonomy. If your wife were a man, this would immediately be called abuse.

    I agree with the other comments saying to get counseling and not take your meds in secret.

    Didn't ask

    Such a wild response lol

    You commented on a forum. People reply. That's... what happens here. The replies are for everyone on the thread, not just you. That's why it was a comment reply and not a DM.

    And like, look at where you are, this is an ADHD community. And someone provided relevant information in response to your comment. Of course someone is going to latch on to some small piece and infodump in response, it's the ADHD community

    My take was someone using the photo out of context to make a joke. A sled seems like the easiest way to transport unopened beer a relatively short distance at a ski resort or whatever - maybe it's getting delivered to a wedding reception or function on site.

    OP, I had a floppy chain like yours, but I fidgeted too hard and broke it 😂 I liked to try to squeeze my finger in between the rubber bands and over time it didn't like me doing that lol

    My favorite is my Ono Roller. It's metal and has a delightful weight to it. I got the youth size for my small hands lol. I like that it's completely silent and occupies my entire hand

    I also like the Nee Doh squishies. My mini cube is my 2nd favorite fidget at the moment. The ones filled with gel are superior to the ones with white goo. The ones with more varied shape (mushroom/animal) are more likely to make fart noises when squished. (I also have to resist fidgeting too aggressively and breaking these lol. One night the intrusive thoughts won and I was biting a cube while stretching it. It was a really good bite feel, but a bunch of air got in the cube and solidified the goo and now it's extremely hard and won't squish unless you sit on it and warm it up for half an hour first lmao 😂)

    It's the same with calico cats as well from what I understand, almost all are female.

    Yep, to get calico coloring, cats must have two X chromosomes, so they will be female. If a male calico is born, it will be XXY. So that's a rare mutation to encounter, and those cats are always sterile too, so they're not passing along their mutation to any kittens either.

    Okay but like, there's a right and wrong way to count time and they're doing it wrong. This is 100% valid to report as a bug, and imo, incredibly helpful - especially compared to most of the bug reports I see! Idk what the context is here, but for the software I QA for work, this kind of mistake would break everything, and I'd report it as a bug. Their comment isn't a reply in a professional situation, but still, that reaction is extremely over the top. What an asshole
