Has anyone tried lamotrigine?

Has anyone tried lamotrigine for their sensory processing disorder, autism, ADHD or other neurodiversity?
Did it work? Did you like it? Were there side effects? Would you recommend the medication?
Thank you!

Do you have a favourite image/video/music to share the experience of Sensory Processing Disorder?

I have 2 kids with SPD and I’ve found that using words to explain SPD to teachers just isn’t cutting it.

What’s been your most effective way of communicating your experience with SPD?

Thank you for sharing the songs, pictures, and words that WORK.#SensoryProcessingDisorder #AutismSpectrumDisorder #Autism #ADHD

New Episode Alert! Am I Actually Neurodivergent? 🤔

There’s a joke somewhere about four neurodivergent people walking into a recording booth and attempting to focus on the topic at hand. In this episode, Ashley (hi 👋) is joined by @camararollin, @jwertman, and @skyeg as they dive into the wide spectrum of neurodiversity, imposter syndrome in relation to identifying as neurodivergent, and how neurodivergence can often be misunderstood by the people who are meant to be the most helpful in supporting those individuals — namely doctors and educators. Additionally, find out how stacking diagnoses can feel like Pokémon evolutions (and of course, stick around to hear our favorite ones!).

New Episode Alert! The Hidden Costs of Health 💰

Living with a health condition is expensive — and not always in the ways we think. In this important discussion led by @skyeg, @harrison-polo, and @chronicallymeh join and deliver some mic drops of their own. From hypomanic spending to pain-fueled shopping sprees to funding sensory sensitivities, the trio explore the tangible and emotional costs of health and disability. They suggest some tips and tools for managing and tracking your expenses, all while sifting through the following conundrum: What do you do when you need a job to pay for insurance and medical bills, but aren’t well enough to work? They don’t promise to have the answers, but they sure do deliver on the “ugh, ditto” factor.

Confessions of a Spoonie 🥄

Though I am not religious, it being Sunday seemed apt in terms of posting this meme. And in the spirit of confessions, I thought it also presented a good opportunity to voice the things we don’t ordinarily go out of our way to talk about.

Here is mine: since childhood, my excess adrenaline due to hyper vigilance, PTSD, and anxiety led to a lifetime habit of stimming (self stimulatory behaviour associated with self soothing or self regulation). It is embarrassing because I’m not always aware that I’m doing it. I have however found that oxygen therapy is helping to make me more calm and less likely to stim—but I think it’s unlikely the habit will ever go away entirely.

Anyone else care to use this safe space, to share something that you feel like you can’t easily talk about with others? 🤍

Autism Diagnosis

I’m considering getting a formal autism diagnosis (I’m a woman, self diagnosed, late diagnosed, 30 years old, in the US). I’m also going to be getting an ADHD diagnosis so I can get that treated (for the first time).
Does anyone have any input on whether diagnosis was a positive for their life or negative? And how?
Do you recommend getting diagnosed?
What was the process like, and how much did it cost? How difficult was it?

Some specifics I’d like to know- did getting diagnosed offer you more opportunities or freedom? Or did it end up denying you things or access?

Since this is something that can’t been undone and has such far reaching implications I’d love any experiences and insight you fellow autistics can offer.

Pharmacy Switch

I need to switch to a different pharmacy that will deliver to my home (I’ll probably use like Uber delivery or something…) I’m in the US. Does anyone have any input on what pharmacy has been the best for them? (Or conversely which pharmacies to definitely stay away from? Like I HATE CVS. They are the worst.)
I’m hoping for some info from fellow Mighty spoonies before switching. :) I’ve been using Walmart for years.
