Which has me thinking there's more room for subtle indications of one of my character's distractibility and impulsivity in his attire and how his hair is groomed 🤔 (he's an #ADHDer)

Dr Russell Barclay: ADHD & Lack of Play - Further Refutations of Jordan Peterson

"such a position has no scientific standing, is worse than wrong, and is morally offensive given the voluminous research on the neurodevelopment and genetic nature of ADHD"

I don't like how these meds make my stomach feels #adhder

Other than that I think they are fine

I'll never understand my ADHD fully but yes I clean the kitchen way more now since moving in with my nesting partner cuz I know it makes him happy every time I do it. So I enjoy doing it. He cleans mostly everything else. #ADHDer

Absolutely loving the Magic ToDo list powered by #ai at https://goblin.tools ! Created by @chton it gets me over that "I can't even start to make a list because there are so many steps to one single task" paralysis. #adhd #webapp #adhdtools #coping #tools #ADHDLife #ADHDer #adhdaf #todolist #appsandsites #apps

I'm the flavor of #neurodivergent that loves sleeping in jeans, I hear this is a polarizing opinion. It is a spectrum.

Having emerged from the first lockdown in Melbourne suspecting the quirks it exacerbated that I've always had were #ADHD, I've since been talking to fellow #neurodiverse people, done a bit of research and made a lot of connections.

I'm still waiting for my diagnosis appointments, but I can share my self diagnosis journey already: https://elisecarlson.com/2023/03/15/i-think-im-neurodiverse-adhd/

I find this track very helpful - like a weighted blanked, except made of sound 🥰

Technology should exist for our convenience, not for the convenience of anyone who wants to interrupt us.
from #Hyperfocus by #ChrisBailey

This resonates deeply with me. I loathe constant phone buzzing or browser notifications. Sometimes it feels like we’re slaves to the technology instead of us being the boss.

FYI the #book is not aimed at the #neurodiverse at all; my goal in reading it is to find #research-backed information that can help me understand and handle my distractions and maybe - just maybe - he’ll have some #tips that will be useful for *my* brain.

For example, knowing that it takes 29 minutes to get back on track after distracting ourselves (vs 6 minutes when distracted by someone else) quantifies the consequences of distractions. Thinking that a distraction = losing half an hour feels much more tangible.

I'm amazed at my brain hyper fixating on a person for years. And yes it's one of my partners but it's also....unhealthy. #ADHDer

I'm interested to see if this is a thing.

I'm AuDHD and experience such intense empathy that if I see someone else injure themselves, I feel it to.

Like, I only have to think about someone else hurting themselves and it's like I can feel it.

Does this happen to any of you?

Hello and welcome to my #introduction 👋I am a mid-thirties, late diagnosed #ADHDer, with an #autistic partner. Coming up to my diagnosis 1-year anniversary 🥳 and learning lots every day, having regular “aha” moments. I work PT #burnout in a library and spend my free time trying to coral my unruly curiosity fairly unsuccessfully.

A snippet of my many waxing and waning interests include: #cacti #succulents #cats #dogs #budgies #astronomy #zoology #economics #tech #psychology #neurodiversity #spoontheory #streetart #modernart #arthistory #sculpture #crafts #museums #artgalleries #urbanspaces #heritage #architecture #snailmail #books #libraries #archives #forteana #documentaries #podcasts #zooniverse #googlecrowdsource #miscellanea

AuDHD people are at an increased likelihood of smoking. Despite this, research priorities fail time and again to look into quality of life issues just like this.

Many of us started these behaviours when young as a way of self-medicating our struggle to survive in a world not made for us

I am LOVING the #Omnivore app for saving things to read later. I've used #Pocket and almost never read what I saved, and used #Safari's Reading List slightly more. I've tried saving articles to Pinterest too (it's a total black hole).

Omnivore is truly useful which makes me *want* to use it. It allows for highlighting articles and then *importing those highlights into #Obsidian* - on the #free plan.

Omnivore also provides an email address for subscribing to #newsletters, which keeps my Inbox clean AND I can now easily save useful highlights from my #subscriptions. And I discovered today that I can forward individual emails too!

Omnivore has been a boon as I build a #SecondBrain by saving information so my #ADHD brain doesn't need to look up the same things repeatedly, or try to figure out where I saved that info I happen to need.

Last night was the first Taco Tue in awhile I felt truly normal around my nesting partner. During karaoke someone called us cute after we sang a song 2gether & I was so happy to hear that.

Going to be a year w/ him next wk and it has been mostly anxiety 99% of the time. I realized even w/ my other two partners the 1st yr was also anxiety filled. I hate it but I'm glad this hump seems to be ending. I miss being comfortable around him b4 we started dating #polyam #emotionaldysregulation #ADHDer

If you enjoy the content I create, you should check out my books!

The New Normal looks at neuronormativity in society and how it affects Autistic people.

Unusual Medicine talks about my experiences as an Autistic addict.

Even if you can't check out my books right now, sharing this post really helps me out.

I really wanted that washer dryer unit but I did not want to spend $3k on one. Got a washer for $700ish and now instead of spending 1000yen on washing and drying at the laundromat, I'm paying 200-300yen on drying only. I'm not gonna air dry. I stopped doing that a year ago after I constantly left the clothes in the washing machine to mold because I didn't want to hang up my clothes. #ADHDer

Any other neurodivergent people feel guilty about relaxing?

Whenever I have the opportunity to do nothing, my brain immediately starts inventing things that I should be doing.

It goes further than simply needing stimulation, my own internalised ableism tried to tell me that the only time I have value is when I'm being productive.

Can you relax comfortably?

Ngl, #ReclaimAI is one of the coolest things ever for an #ADHDer like me. It helps me go through #planning easier.

I guess, it one of those tools that people are yet to discover or lay eyes on.

Had a very sudden emotional moment last night concerning my nesting partner. It was my fault and he expressed his feelings...as he should but my emotional dysregulation spiraled into me feeling I'm the worst person ever and this man doesn't even like me....when that isn't the case. I went outside in the rain for an hour to calm down. Over reaction but also I felt better when I came back inside the house. Just wish it didn't take that long #ADHDer #adhd #emotionaldysregulation
