What is Neurodivergence?

It's ADHD, Autism, OCD, schizophrenia, anxiety, depression, bi-polar, aspd, etc etc etc etc

“neurologically atypical patterns of thought or behavior”

So, it’s very broad, if you feel like it describes you then it does as far as we're concerned

Rules

1.) ableist language=post or comment will probably get removed (enforced case by case, some comments will be removed and restored due to complex situations). repeated use of ableist language=banned from comm and possibly site depending on severity. properly tagged posts with CW can use them for the purposes of discussing them

2.) always assume good faith when dealing with a fellow nd comrade especially due to lack of social awareness being a common symptom of neurodivergence

2.5) right to disengage is rigidly enforced. violations will get you purged from the comm. see rule 3 for explanation on appeals

3.) no talking over nd comrades about things you haven't personally experienced as a neurotypical chapo, you will be purged. If you're ND it is absolutely fine to give your own perspective if it conflicts with another's, but do so with empathy and the intention to learn about each other, not prove who's experience is valid. Appeal process is like appealing in user union but you dm the nd comrade you talked over with your appeal (so make it a good one) and then dm the mods with screenshot proof that you resolved it. fake screenies will get you banned from the site, we will confirm with the comrade you dm'd.

3.5) everyone has their own lived experiences, and to invalidate them is to post cringe. comments will be removed on a case by case basis depending on determined level of awareness and faith

4.) Interest Policing will not be tolerated in any form. Support your comrades in their joy!

Specific apps to help organize my life? Or useful apps/programs in general? (hexbear.net)

Hey, so I'm trying to work on organizing my life and to do so, I'm looking for specific apps. Preferably free. I'll include helpful apps that have worked for me in the past. If you have any suggested programs/apps that have helped you, I'd appreciate knowing about those too.

Apps I'm already using to great effect:

Obsidian: A great note taking app that's faster than Google Docs and isn't run by Google. You can pay $10 monthly to have sync between several different devices, but it's not necessary if you're just trying to make quick checklists or journal entries.
Spreeder: You can copy/paste any amount of text and have it play back at your desired speed. If scrolling through a doc/PDF/ebook, this can be a nice alternative that breaks down text. I don't lose my place when I read and it's easy to adjust. Sucks that premium costs though.
NewPipe: Just a good YouTube alt that lets you play videos in the background free.

(I'll add more as I think on them)

So far, I'm looking for:

Calendar: A calendar program that lets me go to specific dates in the past to mark events. Ideally, I'd like to go back to a date in 2010, see what day of the week it is, mark it, and then update events as I find more bits of my personal history. Even better if I can then zoom out and see by month or year the events that happened in a given period of time.
Voice-to-Text: Any inexpensive program that could reliably transcribe what I'm saying into readable text. I think there are paid programs, but if there are good programs out there that are easy to edit/revise by hand or just navigate in general, awesome.
Anything Budgeting: I'm really bad with money sometimes want to keep better track of my finances without paying a subscription or putting my banking info at risk.
Self-Care: Is there something you use to implement self-care into your daily schedule to avoid burnout? I tried the free trial of Calm and was very much not calm when they overdrafted my account without warning.

Anyway, that's really about all I'm looking for now, but as I said, if you have anything you use for free/cheap to help organize your life, I'd love to know about it

And maybe we could make a pinned post later with what we put together?

My android phone has a google app called Record that does pretty well at transcriptions. I believe it came preinstalled as part of android, unless it's some pixel exclusive bullshit.

I also use an app/website called Habitica that is basically an advanced to-do list/RPG combo. As you check off tasks you level up your character, and if you miss tasks you take damage. It lets you do repeating tasks for daily/weekly stuff as well as one offs. It's been around for a while and it's pretty advanced. Like you can prioritize tasks and you get more XP of you complete a difficult task or one that is past it's due date. And you can hatch pets from eggs. It's really helped me with boring day to day tasks and it's pretty fun.
