Outstanding!

She can hate hearing it all she wants - tell her how proud you are anyways!

It’s unethical to diagnose, and treat, a friend/family member if you are that close.

Also given that one of the Frontline treatments for ADHD is a controlled substance - it would be a very bad look.

That said, if this is the doctor’s specialty - it is very odd that they do not know of a colleague they could refer to.

And another professor will tell you to avoid filler words.

They don’t “grow” out of it. That is an outdated belief

They just “cope”, or “pass” as normal better.

Please get the diagnosis even if you plan to do absolutely nothing with it.

It opens doors

• Individual Education Plans

• Scholarships for additional services/materials even while attending primary school.

• Scholarships for College

I literally have a scholarship right now for my 5 yr old daughter. The scholarship covers speech therapy, occupational therapy, and I have left overs to purchase equipment like a pc for her use but I will likely put it into a 529 for her.

If she receives this scholarship for even a few years - her college will be all covered.

Step One) Get a 20,000 decibel communicator to scare tigers…

The Front is daunting. I would not do that without experience

But the back was relatively simple.

Alternatively replace them if you’re doing the back, and or face, plate swap. I did it with Jsaux Gameboy Purple.

Same result.

I never used them before the swap, and now I use them in every game.

Honestly the deck is always in the case so I don’t see the purple but I do notice the back triggers.

It is really nice.

My buddy has the KillSwitch case and I honestly prefer the Jsaux. Nicer texture on the grips.

Also love having the slide for the battery on the back.

I hate dealing with cords so I often plug a battery pack in, use it till I drain the battery pack. Then by the time the pack is full - the deck is almost empty. Rinse, Repeat

Seconding the Bone Conduction Headphones. I got them for walking/jogging and now I use them for everything.

I have 2 kids so I basically never know when I’m going to hear “Oh no” and have to take care of it.

I may have to pick up a pair of those reading glasses. What a brilliant idea!

30s and my eyes are already going so I know how you feel 😂

Ah okay there’s 2 meanings of cases.

There is one for travel - that it comes with.

But there’s one that fits more like an otter box, an in-use case. The Spigen, Jsaux and KillSwitch all do that. Though I’m sure there are rip-offs all over Amazon by now for all 3.

Hard disagree on the case. The Steam Deck is not made to be dropped like your average Game Boy. Far too expensive, and far too fragile.

I have dropped it exactly 1 time, 2 feet off a couch and I had to replace both triggers on one side.

The cases are not expensive. I had the Spigen one for $15 and now I have the Jsaux Mod Case.

The Jsaux Mod Case which is nice because it allows you to slide a battery pack on, and it has a hard screen cover so you can slap it in a bag, and not worry.

But I mostly use it because it allows me to use a lanyard.

Also I’ve never seen the bottom crack “from stress” but again I only dropped it once.

Side note:

It is a heavy device, it is giving me cubital tunnel syndrome from propping my elbows on tables. No idea what to do about it other than play less.

The Back Buttons on their own are not great.

IF you are going to do some customization - I highly recommend swapping them out.

I only did the back plate and I keep it in a case so I barely notice the clear purple back but I Do notice the new, and much larger, back triggers. They feel so much better.

If this was true then we would have swapped over by now.

Most people still see NAT as a security system.

They aren’t taking them back from the retail stores.

They are taking them out from a production run, from storage facilities.
