Context: I'm putting together stories/excerpts/poems/etc to use when making #copywork cursive pages for my kiddo w #dysgraphia, a learning disability that is like #dyslexia and #dyscalculia but affects motor and organizational skills as it pertains to writing.

#neurodivergentsquad Updates! Thanks to ClipClop, I realized that me and my teen are #actuallyautstic (my 12yo is likely as well) and it's really helping me understand so many things that went wrong in grad school. Them #socialcues man... I missed that memo!

I've been quiet for a minute. It's time for an update. I did serious soul-searching and priorities restructuring with the fam after a *very* dark year; I decided it was in my best interest to leave a prestigious doctoral program and pursue a different career path. 1/n

Flexing my hours has come in handy since I've been sick for most of 2023 (4 weeks so far) and my supervisors have been super gracious about it. I haven't had to burn PTO so far! 10/n

I guess it's time to wrap up this novella. TL;DR Leaving my doctoral program was the exact thing I needed, and the universe delivered the job I didn't know I needed. 11/11

Hi, I'm Deb. I'll never get into a respectable doctoral program. My flex: was accepted to the best doctoral program for my field and left prematurely because I was unhappy.

Getting diagnosed with ADHD as an adult feels like being told you suck at Mario Kart your whole life and then finding out your game generates 40 times more banana peels than it's supposed to
