It’s funny because a lot of the people who refuse to acknowledge or compliment a neurodivergent kid on things that can actually be impossible for some of us, like waking up on time, being organized, finishing work, paying attention, etc. because “it’s their job they don’t need praise for doing the basics” will often be the same ones lavishing praise on parents of neurodivergent kids for …feeding them… providing necessities… not abusing them… you know, the basics. Their job.

how unfortunate that neurotypicals will never experience the absolute euphoria that is happy stimming

Autistic flirting: I make a lot of “weird” echolalia noises impulsively, but whenever I grunt or groan or yell you respond with noises of your own and it feels like bonding.

depression meals™ and depression shows™ are a thing but what about depression video games™?

The Sims Obsession. you think maybe 2 hours have passed. you look at the clock. it’s been 3 days

wanting to play your favourite game but instead just listening to the music for 3 hours straight

solitaire on your phone for 50 minutes while listening to sad music (or the video game music)

starting up old favourite games and then exiting out of them once you see the menu

spending two hours making a new character in an rpg and then realizing you can’t be bothered to actually play the game

an amazing new video game, one that you’ve been waiting for for months. it takes you 3 days to finish a 40+ hour game because anything that makes you feel this good and distracted is immediately an obsession. once you finish the game you feel absolutely dead inside

Consequence blindness is common in people with ADHD. It’s where we don’t fully care/ think about the fact that actions have future consequences (due to our impulsivity, executive dysfunction and time blindness).

“Should I skip breakfast again? Like how I’ve done it before and have felt like death cause of low blood sugar? Should I do it again?

I can’t think of why I wouldn’t. Fuck breakfast.’

*nearly passes out from low blood sugar*

I figure out I had ADHD last year, but I didn’t seek an official diagnosis and medication until this year. I’m 30 years old, my school days are long behind me. I slipped through the cracks because I have predominately inattentive type and I was a quiet little girl. Having ADHD does not mean you have to be hyperactive and loud, it means you have a processing problem in your brain that doesn’t allow you to regulate your focus or emotions. 

Mental health even now is still taboo to talk about. People are more open now than ever about it however and that gives me hope. 

This is a profoundly personal comic and it only reflects my own experience with ADHD. It is on a spectrum with a wide range of personalities. But if my story connects with someone else and helps them, that would mean the world to me.
