So, I Didn't Get A Diagnosis Because My Doctor Has Never Made Any Mental Health Diagnoses Before But

So, I didn't get a diagnosis because my doctor has never made any mental health diagnoses before but we both agree it's highly probable and if I decide I want meds for depression or ADHD she will prescribe them

No one:

Absolutely nobody:

Okay is this why we get diagnoses:

Me, full of feral energy, in the midst of a research high and being chaotic as all get out: Must. Know. All the things! *is focused intently on the one subject to know all the things about* *feels like I'm about to vibrate out of my skin when I hit a stall*

Also me, five seconds later being squirrelly as we leave family friends' house: wait is this what people mean when they talk about ADHD hyperfixations?

I can't finish the series 😭😭

A couple of our servers have gotten a bit overwhelmed, so we're taking some down time to give them a chance to catch up. We'll be back as soon as possible!

can we just talk about how in the old Pokemon anime they n e v e r acknowledged the madness Ash got up to? Or that he had been a national class Pokemon Trainer ever since the Indigo League? Or how he knew so many famous people?

There were literally episodes where they'd have people talking about how they supported [X] trainer and had watched the last Pokemon League, and then had them not even recognize Ash.

I think about this a lot.

I am so sick of fic writers making 10-year-olds talk like babies.

I work with children and have taken numerous classes on adolescent development. Here's some of what I learned because I might actually kill someone if I read another fic where an older child is essentially a four-year-old. (No hate to anyone in particular. Children are confusing.)

(Slight trigger warning for 13 & 14 year-olds. Puberty/sex mentioned)

(Most info is from Chip Wood's Yardsticks: Child and Adolescent Development Ages 4-14)

...I may have forgotten about it.

Oops.

I will be setting to work after this week!!! Because right now I am a student leader for a bunch of middle schoolers and a few high schoolers and yeah no time to focus on the kids.

Anybody have any fic recs for the McCallisters finding out what Kevin did in the Home Alone movies?

I couldn't find any and thought I'd ask before setting to work on a post Home Alone 1 fic.

okay so. Are there any fics where Nico admits to knowing Percy in The Son of Neptune?

I've found one. It was barely a single chapter and is nearly a year old. https://archiveofourown.org/works/46402042

Help. P l e a s e

I want to see this and do not have the time or energy to write it
