I was just making a joke :)

Tylenol does not cause autism. Given how often people with autism experience RSD it is funny to think that an imagined cause of autism could also be a treatment for one of its symptoms

The commenter that you replied to was expressing despair at how difficult their life is because they have AuDHD. They are not saying that Tylenol can turn off their brain, they are instead asking for recommendations to escape their misery.

You could try understanding the comment chain and comments before saying something that sounds cruel like:

“Are you a nice, forgiving person? It works for good people only”.

Many neurodivergent people grow up abused by their parents because of their needs, and struggle with feeling like they are not good, not good enough, and not worthy of love. Saying what you did, unprovoked, to a ND person can send someone into a self-hatred spiral that is wholly unnecessary and has nothing to do with what they actually said.

RSD is not limited to people with autism or ADHD. It’s just very common among neurodivergent folks

Edit: When I made this comment the person above was being unfairly down voted. What they said has scientific merit and the reader can easily verify.

I’m on clonidine for ADHD. I can actually stop myself from speaking out of turn now, so maybe it has been a little sedating xD

Dating is kind of a nightmare. I know people say anyone can find a partner, but that doesn’t take into account things like sensory issues or hard boundaries around other things that keep us sane. I told myself a few years ago that I didn’t want to date while I’m university, but honestly it’s been so nice not forcing myself to fit into other people’s boxes that I might just stay single even after I earn my doctorate

I’m also with you on refusing to participate in a misery machine for a living. I hope you can hash out some kind of misery escape plan with your therapist tomorrow

My physical therapists love to say “motion is lotion”, moving is what keeps our joints moving smoothly

I hear you, I’m ND too. Reading about things like RSD being common in people like us has at least helped me be easier on myself.

Existence is goddamn difficult and I wish I had an answer, because turning my brain off sounds wonderful. Alcohol can do that, but it comes with some awful consequences. I’ve also abused quetiapine, but eventually that fucked me up too. Weed does not play nice with my brain

This is pretty funny given the recent political assertions that Tylenol causes autism, because rejection sensitive dysphoria is a symptom of autism/adhd

Edit: that N.B. is pretentious as fuck. Don’t take an incredibly tiny study with very little scientific traction as fact. Presenting it as fact demonstrates how little the OP understands about research

My mom made that once, and was forbidden from ever doing so again! It was usually Mac and cheese with hotdogs or meatloaf in my house. And, no vegetables which is weird because my mom was a vegetarian

I have sometimes (often, who’s kidding?) made vegan Mac N cheese with those fabulous lightlife hotdogs as an adult, totally followed in my mom’s footsteps xD. But I generally like to have bell pepper, onion, and swisschard/mustard greens mixed in because I’m not actually my mom

That’s such a great name for an acai or yogurt bowl restaurant

I have a 9 foot cat tower that is tensioned into place against the ceiling. My 14 pound cat flies on and off it like the floor is lava, and it hasn’t budged yet

Right, I kind of expected that prominence to encourage carrying enough security to protect him. I think he skewed that a bit and thought he was untouchable because of his prominence.

The other two are just as insane, but think they have Trump’s ear despite not commanding anything near Kirk’s audience

He’s famous for creating a conservative organization while in college, called Turning Point USA. The org puts out a lot of smug memes to appeal to young conservative folks, so naturally people made fun of them and counter-memed.

He’s said a lot of very vile things, like “Black women don’t have the same kind of brain processing power” (paraphrased) when talking about how bad DEI is.

My BFF hadn’t heard of him either, but they curate their feeds to be mostly uplifting fluff, and they aren’t terminally online like I am lol. I was kind of surprised that he was the influencer that got shot though, I might have expected someone like Loomer or Fuentes

Ooh, oh my gosh that makes a lot of sense! Thanks for the tip ^^

Those look so good! What kind of air fryer do you have? I don’t know if I keep buying ones that don’t circulate air well enough or if it’s something else, but between the two I’ve owned I haven’t gotten a nice crisp on anything

I changed my name a few years ago and totally missed out on meme potential 😭

They do not contradict each other. I’m certain there will be more stops as the city grows, because they keep improving it. I used to live in a city, in another state, with one of the best public transportation systems in the country, and they also kept improving that system to include the surrounding cities in other counties. Just because something isn’t perfect already does not mean we can’t take it seriously and strive for perfection

It’s a mile, and across an interstate exit, to my nearest bus stop. And I live in the only city in the enormous state that takes public transportation seriously.

I think I feel bad when I read articles like the ones you posted, before this I’d cross the distances and not think much of it because my last two cities didn’t have public transportation. Now I can’t cross fast enough to beat the crossing light, and it’s so incredibly unsafe if I fall. I feel like the problem, I guess

Man, I never used fast food, or drive throughs as much as I have since I developed a mobility disorder. Last week I put a pickup order in at my local coffee shop out of habit, and couldn’t carry both my coffee and the breakfast sandwich to my car at the same time. Which sounds so stupid, but it took so much extra energy for both trips into the store that I was ready to go home and call it a day after that lol

I know the answer is “don’t get fast food and just eat at home”, but I’ve also been so tired after work/school that I’m not eating, and I dunno what the answer to that is either. My state isn’t a place where people think about how to care for their communities, and most of it has hours of highway between “cities”
