Explanation or excuse
It seems like people with ADHD will always be sure to tell everyone multiple times that they do, in fact, have ADHD. Do you think too many people rely on having ADHD as an excuse for..whatever? Why repeat it to explain every mistake? I’m genuinely asking even though this may come out like I’m being mean about it. I’ve had ADHD for years, so this isn’t a case of “you wouldn’t understand “… Thanks!

Having ADHD is a lot like having bad vision, except you can't see ADHD, probably why people state it more. People with bad vision need glasses, people with ADHD need other things, like recording a lecture, or for things to be repeated. Depends on how they use it but I would say a lot of the time it's okay if you ask for some extra help, as long as you don't go overboard. That's how I see it.

We tell people because we spent most out lives pretending to be the same as everyone else and that didnt work, in fact it made us angry and depressed and traumatised. I don't use it as an excuse to behave like a twat, I mentiob it as a reason I might think or react a certain way. I also find saying it early a good way to weed out the knobheads who àrat going to be worth investing our limited social energy in anyway.

Me, deep in hyperfocus, sharing a 40-min video breaking down centuries of capitalism, while he just wants a Tl;dr 😂 I honestly didn't even think to check the video length before I shared it 😅
I find it far easier to go about my day while keeping my brain entertained. Music can get old, sometimes I just want to listen to something mentally engaging. I know I'm not the only one! (edited)

Is "Hypersexuality" a thing for you?
I recently had a conversation with another AuDHD person about hypersexuality, even to the point of being medicated for it. For the longest time I wasn't even sure this was a real thing, but the symptoms she described were almost identical to what I've had to cope with throughout my life. I had... (edited) read more

Dating with ADHD
Question: What's the most difficult part of dating when you have ADHD? For me I've often been caught up in taking things too fast and overthinking when people don't respond quickly. What have you faced and do you have any tips? (edited)

Comfort Shows vs Background Noise
As I "watch" an episode of Criminal Minds for the umpteenth time, I realize it's not actually helping me focus on my #wfh job today. Music wasn't working either. How do you switch things up when focus isn't happening? —or failing that, hit me with your go-to comfort shows or work... read more

I had a thought today
So i was thinking about adhd and impulsivity, right. And i was wondering, does buying a concert ticket for a show 6+ months in the future count as delayed gratification or something more like a double gratification? Like you feel good when you spend the money but you also have to be patient and... read more
