Personal Update

I want to give an update on the goals and operations of the charity.

So, I have ADHD. There are also a lot of signs pointing to Autism as well. Is this bad? No. But it does effect how much I can invest into this organization.

I will try to be brief with the point I am making.

I have really ambitious ideas for this organization, and am aware that these ideas will take time and effort.

Some of the things I want to accomplish soon are:

• Facilitate more tournaments

• Have RPG workshops/events

• Do a Kickstarter for the 2024 Legacy Adventure

• Continue the 2025 Legacy Adventure

Here are the issues I face daily that make these difficult...

• Executive Dysfunction. Making initiating tasks difficult.

• Burnout. Working too much too long and then abandoning notable progress.

• Overstimulation. Getting too wired from activities and then needed days, or weeks, to calm down.

• Engaging with social media. To make social media actually matter, I need to utilize it in the right ways. Feed the algorithm. I have zero drive to do this. I limit my personal time with social media. And I do not have the capacity to learn all the nuances of managing proper presence on social media.

On top of managing these things for the charity, I also have to manage these for all other aspects of my life. My job, hobbies, projects, and my interpersonal relationships. Sometimes I crash hard and cannot find drive to invest into these things.

Sometimes I'm overstimulated and need to cease interaction.

And I never know when these are going to happen.

I've been better at managing my life after discovering I had ADHD. But with Autism, it gets even harder. They both like to push back at each other. Without revealing much more, I also have several other disorders that I manage as well, so its not just the neurodivergency.

ADHD: I need stimulation all the time or else become depressed

Autism: Too much stimuli and I become overwhelmed and cannot function

ADHD: I need routine to stabilize my life

Autism: Routine has bored me and if I don't do something else I'll shut down

The point of this update is to inform you that I am not sure I can achieve all the goals I want to with this organization. There could be a plateau for growth. I need to focus on managing and regulating myself before I can commit more to the charity. If I can find/develop effective tools for myself, then further organization growth is on the table again.
