Hello! I’m Dr. Vinita Menon, a psychologist specializing in therapy related to ADHD and Autism in adults.This is my first AMA so I am looking forward to it!
I’ve been working online providing therapy to individuals seeking answers to understand their identity and some lifelong concerns they've been carrying. I'm passionate about helping people find answers for themselves and empowering them to find tools that work for them. While I can’t provide therapy on this, I’m happy to answer general questions about ADHD and Autism (both what they are and what they are NOT), effective support, and other mental health issues in general.
So ask me anything!

Hi Reddit, I'm Christina, film producer from Germany focused on climate communication. Together with director Johan Gabrielsson (u/sodenstern) we're working on a documentary about Michael Thomas (u/climatesecurity), a professional soldier turned activist who explores future security threats and the military's increasing role within a changing climate.
All three of us will be here to answer your questions!
We aim to investigate how climate change will cause future wars, changing the lives of millions. While our planet is heating up, dangers of natural disasters and civil unrest are increasing and nations are becoming more dependent on the military. Few are aware of these security threats, except little known military networks that are drawing up battle plans. We’ll travel to the Arctic, the Himalayas and the Pacific, some of the world's most affected climate hot spots. Our project is part of the Documentary Campus Masterschool.
We're in the middle of research and interested in any questions you have around this. Ask us anything connected to climate, security, defense and filmmaking in gene ral!
Read about Michael’s work here https://www.aslcg.org/people/michael-thomas/.
Proof: Here's my proof! And here's Michael's proof!
EDIT: Thanks for all the questions - Michael and Johan have to leave, but if anyone has more questions on global security and climate crisis, feel free to ask them and they'll pop in later to answer!
Traditionally, women tend to have been denied access to positions in many areas of scientific endeavour, including limnology (or freshwater science).
Sadly, this means their unique perspectives are missing from critical solutions to environmental problems.
But there is a bright side; just look at us!
We are four female scientists taking part in an exciting new program to encourage and champion women in freshwater science working on Africa’s Great Lakes—currently travelling and working in Canada to discover how researchers are doing things here, and to share experience and knowledge with other scientists across the pond.
We are happy to answer your burning questions on the role of women in science in Africa, tell you about our experiences and hopes for the future, and offer up any advice for any burgeoning female scientists anywhere in the world.
Go on and ask us anything. We dare you…

Hi! We’re Meagan Wolfe, President of the National Association of State Election Directors (NASED) and the Chief Election Official of Wisconsin, and Michelle Ciulla Lipkin, Executive Director of the National Association for Media Literacy Education (NAMLE).
We’re excited to be here together to answer your questions about what media literacy is, why it’s important to elections, how election officials are combating false information about elections, and any other election administration or media literacy questions you might have. Media literacy skill building helps across all subjects, but it’s especially important with elections to help build resilience to all of the false information out there about election administration in the United States.
NASED is a nonpartisan, nonprofit, professional association for state election officials in all 50 states, DC, and the five US territories. In 40 states, the Secretary of State or Lieutenant Governor is the Chief Election Official, and in those states, the election director works for the Secretary of State or Lieutenant Governor. In the other 16 states and territories, including in Meagan’s state of Wisconsin, the Chief Election Official typically works for a bipartisan board or commission - Meagan is the Administrator of the Wisconsin Elections Commission. Whether they are a Chief Election Official or work for a Chief Election Official, the person filling the election director role implements new policies and technologies, works with local election officials, and so much more.
Founded in 1997, NAMLE is a nonpartisan, 501(c)3 professional organization that represents a diverse network of people and organizations committed to advancing media literacy education. As the leading voice, convener, and resource for media literacy education, NAMLE aims to make media literacy highly valued and widely practiced as an essential life skill. Michelle Ciulla Lipkin began her career in children’s television production, in various roles on both corporate and production teams, and has been the executive director of NAMLE since 2012. She earned both her undergraduate and graduate degrees from New York University and is currently an Adjunct Lecturer at Brooklyn College where she teaches Media Literacy.
