Twitter/X thread from Victoria Duncan on X:
"At some point, very early on, undiagnosed neurodivergent children are faced with a terrible dilemma.

They will tell someone they're in pain, someone they trust, and that person will say no they're not. That didn't hurt. It can't have. They're being selfish/dramatic/lying.

The child has to get their head around it. They feel pain, but a trusted caregiver says they don't and they're being bad for saying so. How can it be true?

There are only two, bad, options.

The child may choose to believe the caregiver and decide that they are wrong about their pain. They will make this choice again and again over the years and slowly learn to ignore their body until they are barely connected to it at all. They learn not to trust themselves.

Or, the child might not be able to ignore the reality of their pain. In which case, they have to give up on pleasing their caregiver by keeping quiet as demanded. They learn that adults won't believe or take care of them. They learn not to trust other people.
I think whichever choice you make, you carry the rest of your life, disconnected either from your own body and experiences, or from other people and meaningful relationships. Maybe both.

Anyway, diagnosis is the only way out of the dilemma. It's the only way your reality can be different from other people's without someone being at fault - is if you have a word like "sensory overwhelm" to explain the difference.

That's why diagnosis changes lives & why people want it so much.

This is about saying you're in pain because of sensory overwhelm, but it can also be about saying you're tired from sitting still or socializing or reading and someone says you can't be. Saying you "don't like" an activity you find hard, and having people assume the worst of you.

⚕️Gallifreyan Healing Coma Management

Your Gallifreyan is sleeping and not dead.

✨ What is a Healing Coma?

A healing coma is a physiological state unique to Gallifreyans wherein the body enters full stasis to direct all metabolic and regenerative resources toward healing. It's an evolved response to catastrophic injury, post-regenerative instability, or systemic failure. While it can appear life-threatening to outsiders, it's an entirely natural part of Gallifreyan biology.

🧠 When to Suspect a Healing Coma

A healing coma should be suspected only when multiple signs align, and never presumed lightly. These patients often appear dead to the untrained eye, with reduced or absent vital signs.

Key Indicators:

Recent severe injury, illness, or regeneration.

No visible glow (regenerative energy not active).

Extremely low vital signs, including: - Respiration <3/min - Combined hearts rate <10 bpm - Body temperature <5°C / 41°F - Systolic BP <20 mmHg

Unresponsiveness to all stimuli except occasional involuntary responses to high pain or telepathic signals.

Brain electrical activity is present but minimal.

TARDIS link unaffected (if applicable).

Refer to the Healing Coma Checklist in GASS. If 8 or more criteria are met, proceed with coma care.

📋 Initial Assessment

🔎 Clinical Differentiation

Before declaring a healing coma, rule out the following:

Respiratory bypass

Psionic shutdown

Induced stasis (voluntary)

Cardiac arrest (refer to CPR guide)

Anaphylaxis, toxic shock, or sepsis (see SER protocol)

If in doubt, initiate full GASS and ABCDE-P assessments.

🛑 Do Not Intervene If Healing Coma is Confirmed

Once a healing coma is confirmed:

🚫 Do not initiate CPR. 🚫 Do not forcefully rouse the patient. 🚫 Do not stimulate them verbally, telepathically, or physically.

Premature arousal can cause:

Cerebral damage

Systemic collapse

🛠️ Supportive Management

While the patient is in a healing coma, your job is to stabilise the environment, monitor, and prevent external harm.

1. 🌡️ Environment

Keep ambient temperature stable at 17°C (±0.5°C).

Reduce noise/light stimuli.

Do not allow contact with strong psionic fields.

2. 🛏️ Positioning

Flat or semi-recumbent.

Maintain cervical spine neutrality if trauma suspected.

Use a padded surface to avoid pressure injury.

3. 🧪 Ongoing Monitoring

GASS scores every 30 minutes for the first 6 hours, then hourly.

Monitor for: - Returning vital signs - Early signs of waking (twitches, murmuring) - Glitches in psionic output (may indicate instability or pain)

4. 🧬 Psionic Stability

If linked to a TARDIS, monitor the ship's response; it often reflects patient status.

Avoid telepathic interference unless absolutely necessary.

If psionic storm or uncontrolled feedback occurs, apply psychic dampening fields.

💊 Pain Management Considerations

While healing comas reduce pain perception significantly, residual pain may trigger premature arousal.

Do not use aspirin under any circumstances.

If pre-coma pain was extreme, ensure: - Environmental calm - Symbiotic contact (if possible) - Low-dose sedatives if awakening occurs in distress (Gallifreyan-only)

🚨 When to Escalate

Immediate intervention is required if:

Vitals drop below even healing coma thresholds (i.e., no BP or respiration at all)

Signs of regenerative instability appear (glow misfires)

The coma persists beyond 72 hours without improvement or explanation

New trauma or infection is introduced

📍Key Takeaways

✔️ Healing comas are normal (if dramatic) Gallifreyan responses to severe physiological strain.

✔️ Do not intervene once confirmed. Provide supportive care only.

✔️ Environmental control, GASS reassessments, and TARDIS monitoring are your best tools.

✔️ If you're ever in doubt—call a hospitaller. Or get the TARDIS. Or, ideally, both.

Hey. Your brain needs to de-frag. Literally it needs you to sit there and space out.

If you want your memory or executive function to improve, stare out a window at the skyline or sidewalk or trees or birds on the electrical wires for like 20+ minutes per day. (With no other stimulation like a podcast or TV if you can manage but hey baby steps innit). If you're fortunate enough to have safe outside with any bits of nature, go stare closely at a 1 meter square of grass and trip out on the bugs and shapes of grasses and stuff.

Literally this will make you smarter. Our brains HAVE TO HAVE this zone out time to do important stuff behind the scenes. This does not happen during sleep, it's something else.

That weird pressurized feeling you get sometimes might be your brain on no defrag.

Give your brain a Daily Dose Of De-Frag.

I Had To Make A Solution For This For Myself, Mostly Because Of Depression, But It Makes A Nice How To

i had to make a solution for this for myself, mostly because of depression, but it makes a nice How To for folks who are low on spoons or could use some help in the kitchen.

Fortunately i was a professional cook for over a decade. UNfortunately the first post i made explaining it was suuuuper long. Let's see if i can do better

So you select any protein that you can cook in a frying pan -- chicken breasts, ground beef, pork chops, sausages, steak, chicken thighs, whatever. You also select one or two types of veggie (mushrooms or tubers also work, i just did this with potatoes and carrots for dinner tonight).

[i like cooking for vegetarians, but this is how i cook for myself when i'm low on spoons - perhaps i'll do another post for meatless meals]

You'll also need some kind of oil, and a sauce or two of your choice in a bottle. All cooking gear is a large frying pan with lid (i prefer non-stick) a spatula, a cutting board, and a knife.

You cut the veggies into bite size pieces, cut up enough for two meals. One kind of veggie is fine, or you can do mix two or three

I Had To Make A Solution For This For Myself, Mostly Because Of Depression, But It Makes A Nice How To

Put frying pan on medium heat with a little oil. Tubers or mushrooms or go in the pan a few minutes before the protein. 2 portions of the protein goes in the pan, about 5 minutes with lid (don't worry you can still get a good sear on both sides)

Now flip your protein if it's flip-able and add normal veggies, put the lid back on another five-ish minutes.

Take your protein out and put it with one portion of the veggies in a microwave safe container. That's going to be your lunch tomorrow. Put the other portion of protein on a plate to rest (you have to let a cooked protein sit a couple minutes before you serve it or when you cut into it all the juices run out and it goes dry - the liquids thicken as it cools, preventing this drying out if you let it rest, the goal is to serve it very warm but not hot hot)

While it's resting, pour some sauce from your bottle in the pan with the rest of the veggies and turn up the heat. A single sauce/bottle is fine, i like to get fancy and mix a couple. Two examples of personal favorite mixes are 1: bbq sauce and a hot sauce like sriracha 2: roughly equal parts low sodium soy sauce and worcestershire (makes something similar to a teriyaki sauce) A swallow of wine is almost always a great option if you want to add that to your sauce too, just add it to the pan before the other sauces so the alcohol has time to burn off.

...

Here is the important bit. While your veggies are finishing, wash your cutting board and chef knife. Then when you dump your veggies and sauce over your protein on the plate, while it is still too hot to eat, you wash your frying pan and spatula before you eat. Now the only dishes you have left to do are your plate and fork. Maybe a steak knife.

...

The whole thing takes about 35 minutes even with washing the dishes, and that includes your lunch for the next day- just pour a different sauce on and stick it in the microwave for a couple minutes (or five minutes back in the frying pan) and you have a full healthy lunch with a different flavor

You can use this technique every single meal and it yields hundreds of combinations, from pork and potatoes bbq, to salmon and broccoli teriyaki, to chicken and zucchini in a soy glaze.

It will keep you down to less than an hour of kitchen time per day total for both lunch and dinner including all dish clean up, uses the least dishes, the least effort, requires the least technique, and is, depending on what you pick out, very affordable

here are a couple more examples from this month; i didn’t take pictures of the salmon i did recently, but you get the idea

it's not super fancy, but it is easy, affordable, quick, and any flavors you want. Hope this helps some folks

Happy Cooking!

And oftentimes its actually fun stuff. Like watching a movie ir playing videogames.

people who dont experience it cannot comprehend how awful executive dysfunction is. I WANT to do the task, i have the resources TO do the task, i will feel better having DONE the task
