@i-want-tacoss asked: what do you do when your brain fog is real bad in a lecture? cause honestly it be bad some days ya know man.

I thought long and hard about this! I get a lot of brain fog too, so this was something I had to prepare for.

I’ll be recording my lectures on my laptop so I can always listen to them again at a later time. This helps with brain fog and memory loss, so it’s two birds with one stone for me. 😁 And if I have a day where I’m just not getting what the professor is saying, I can talk to them after class or go for tutoring!

Brain fog can be super bad for awhile, so if it’s not letting up you can also ask for homework and project extensions to give you more time. Extended tests are also available.

It is possible to get a recording device as an accommodation, but I can’t get one yet because I’m not formal diagnosed with something it would be a ‘reasonable’ accommodation for. I believe you can also get free tutoring if you have something that affects learning. So if you can’t afford these things yourself, talk to the disability office! They’ll be willing to help.

could you explain the difference between stimming and fidgeting? i’m a little confused and i can’t find a good answer

This is just to my knowledge, so I may be wrong.

Stimming is self-stimulatory behavior. It is used to stimulate yourself and is kind of a constant need. Fidgeting tends to be to calm down from stress or anxiety, and isn't needed constantly but can be frequently needed.

I hope this is right.

Anyone who knows better please add on or correct me so I'm not spreading misinformation !!

Fidgeting is a behavior that can be consciously stopped with no ill effects on the person doing the behavior. It is often done out of boredom or anxiety. It calms those emotions, but stopping the behavior doesn’t necessarily make them worse.

Stimming is a conscious/unconscious behavior that is used to stimulate yourself due to understimulation or emotions like anxiety. It actively calms and soothes the person doing the behavior and stopping it before you are regulated causes the distress to return and get worse.
