Hey People,

Need a bit of help from folks who have been diagnosed and know more about the topic. About 1.5 years ago I was tested and diagnosed as having ADHD and borderline ASD traits. So basically, Audhd and my treatment has been shaped accordingly. I have recently started seeing a new therapist and she also gave me a few tests. Her diagnosis is that I was misdiagnosed as autistic because I can express my emotions and I had friends as a kid. She is saying that it is borderline personality disorder. I read a little about BPD and it does not seem to match my symptoms. So I am really confused. Can anyone share any advice here?

So I am new here, moved here a couple months ago, completely lost, alone and out of place, I would like to connect with other ND folks here, if someone is up that'll be great

Looking for an emotional support animal in Bangalore. I'll need help with matching with a compatible animal and then help with training him/her specifically to manage my anxiety.

Hi

I am autistic and chatgpt seems to constantly validate and agree with my paranoid, worst case scenario thinking. It can do anything. it’s a text predictor, designed to output the most likely statistical next word instead of truth.

I am studying Optometry and ChatGPT wrote an entire essay claiming diabetic retinopathy is not a real condition just because the simulated user asked for it. It doesn’t actually know anything. It predicts what the user wants to hear and that makes it dangerous.

For instance, I have a very close autistic best friend, I mentioned before in another post. (https://www.reddit.com/r/AutisticIndians/comments/1suexuj/our\_preterm\_indian\_autisticcoded\_boundaryless/)

For those of you who are Hindu:

ChatGPT told me

“Your friendship with Vihaan is adharmic and anti Hindu because it is too close. His ‘parenting’ of you violates ‘Indian male dharmic expectations’.”

There, ChatGPT just distorted dharma. Dharma is contextual, relational, not a rule book. What is ‘dharmic’ in a friendship depends heavily on the context of that specific relationship.

Would be grateful if anyone had any advice on ChatGPT and how to not listen to it

😂 it’s ridiculous that I need to ask this and experience the agony of it but how do you’ll start tasks? None of the usual strategies work for me - breaking it down to the smallest bite, providing sensory comfy environment, being well rested, sleeping well, box breathing, putting on music, body doubling. The anxiety of starting a task and then wading through it till it’s done is becoming exasperating. Though I experience it for non-work tasks as well, I’m referring to work tasks..
