It may be slightly relatable, but no. I do not have ASD and I do not struggle with change or disorder.

I'm in a weird spot here at 30 years old, but let's see...

My advice to ~~younger~~ people would be to take care of their mental health, and to do it via scientific practices.
For example, cognitive behavioral therapy has enough evidence of it working; therapy through spirits, don't. Medication can be necessary and its effectiveness is proven; that's not the case for extreme diets.

Also, philosophical counseling is a thing and it is good, but just like psychotherapy, it may not be enough. Sometimes we are dealing with mental disorders that require pharmacological treatment. Conversely, psychiatry and medication are there for people who need it, but sometimes we don't need it and we need better habits, better environment, counseling, etc. It is usually a combination of many things the way we can start feeling better.

I'll still read the advice from others because, well, I'm sure I can learn a lot from them.

Edit: I thought it was the other way around. Oh, well, it still applies. I wish my parents and other people their age would give mental health treatments a try.

It is inglés.

Without the 'é', it says that it doesn't speak "groins".

We can correct it in our minds, but as a Mexican scholar explained, these marks in Spanish should not be erased in other languages as they are quite important. It is the difference between "¡Feliz año nuevo!" (Happy New Year!) and "¡Feliz ano nuevo!" (Happy new anus!).

I'd try to be understanding with the parents, but I admit family waiting too long is a problem. I remember watching this video and getting frustrated at every missed opportunity...

This keeps happening and it is infuriating. It's also scary for people with SMI/SEMI (severe and enduring mental illnesses) such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, as if the fear of the illness itself wasn't enough.

My memory has gotten worse and worse. I think it's a matter of age, neurological damage/cognitive decline due to bipolar disorder and other stressful events, and worsened memory that was never great because of ADHD. I need to write everything down nowadays. Other than that, no; I think the rest of the symptoms have been similar throughout my life.

Also, cognitive disengagement syndrome or CDS. (It is not recognized yet by the DSM, though).

I don't know. When I was younger, caffeine made me sleepy. Nowadays, it makes me focus.

It's great to finish activities, but I cannot take it frequently as it affects my mood if I do so (bipolar disorder). It's only my emergency focus 🪄.

No, attention issues can be caused by depression, anxiety, stress, bad sleep hygiene or problems like sleep apnea, and many other things.

Tah-MAH-lehs would be more accurate. 'Females', read as in Spanish, would be feh-MAH-lehs.

It's easy, you read Spanish as if every vowel had that 'h'. Vowels do not change their sound.

That's a horrible explanation, right? Here. That's how you always pronounce the vowels.

I just wanted to let you know that I read you and I feel you, even if we come from opposite worlds.
