  • Yeah both ADHD and autism is harder to diagnose in girls and women because for a good bit there was an assumption that they can’t get it, because their symptoms usually present very different. Now it has been recognized in the DSM-5 for a while but psychology is kind of playing catch up with them, so it takes time for actual therapists to learn to isolate those new diagnoses.

    I personally believe that one of the reasons this is so hard is that girls culturally tend to value social interaction way higher than boys, giving them more experience, which leads to better masking skills, and all these skills do is hide the symptoms. Thus it also becomes harder to diagnose. I asked a group of peers who had autism if they ever tried or considered to withdraw from society or social interactions. The 2 men said they considered it but ultimately it wasn’t feasible, the 2 women said they never even considered it, which kind of supports that hypothesis, although it’s all anecdotal.

    But yeah, we’ve come a long way to finally diagnose and treat women appropriately as well.







  • I have used selenium in the past. The trick is to capture all cross-loaded connections and then go through them and pattern match to the m3u8. Now selenium out of the box can’t do that, but you will be able to use seleniumwire to capture those connections from selenium.

    The drawback of this approach is it takes some time to tune the script and the pattern, and although selenium can be run headless, it’s still a full browser, making it very memory- inefficient.

    Depending on the popularity of the site, jdownloader might be able to capture it as well and even if it’s not fully supported, you can use their url filters to strip down the urls to only capture the m3u8. However this is kind manual, so it’s just more efficient than clicking but not automated. I guess maybe if you get all the urls in a big list and then let jdownloader iterate over all of them it’s more efficient.

    Maybe yt-dlp has some options for fetching the m3u8 from a base url but I’m not so sure.

    Basically the issue is you are fighting against the developers, who want you to view but not download the content, and thus they pour some time into making sure that you are actually visiting the site and not ripping the content. So it’s always gonna be difficult and the seleniumwire method is kind of the best I ever got.
