I debated posting this, but the past week has been mentally exhausting. It can sometimes be so difficult to explain how challenging and overwhelming "normal" or "simple" tasks feel as a neurodivergent person, that most of the time I don't at risk of feeling like a burden or lazy

100% agree with this
(1/4) A little rant thread: When speaking to Press or Public very few are aware of the craziness with research funding. (a) Many funding rounds can have 100 perfectly fundable grants but only 20% will be funded.
