[i-have-gaydhd]

so I’m a lifelong atheist and I’ve never actually read the bible but this guy sure seems like he has ADHD

[i-have-gaydhd]

adhd moods

*stands up* *sits down* *gets up again* *walks in a circle* *stands up on chair*

apparently, “yesterday” was actually four days ago

apparently, “four days ago” as actually yesterday

I’m not sure if i just walked away in the middle of that conversation or ended it like a normal person because i can’t remember what happened

ok i’ve found my phone, keys, and wallet!  …..where is my phone?

wait–did i just completely interrupt this person or was there a pause? i don’t remember

everyone hates me 

i know you introduced yourself to me 3 times but i cannot remember your name i am so sorry

*sets 17 alarms* *is still late*

*successfully accomplishes one (1) task or gets someplace on time for once* i am a fraud. clearly i do not have adhd and am just faking for attention :’(

procrastinates to initiate Hyperfocus™️

error: Hyperfocus™️ unavailable because the project is still boring and the time pressure isn’t enough to make it interesting this time

Current ADHD mood: Have needed to buy groceries for, like, a week. Have not done so because the thought of making a grocery list causes me physical pain. Hungry but don’t want to figure out what kind of food is both available and acceptable, so I’m just going to drink a lot of water like that’s a solution.

me: looks up something related to adhd / autism every article ever: observe your child’s behavior. talk to your child about it. you know, your child that you have, because this is a condition children have. everyone knows that autistic people disappear by the time they hit 18 years of age

Michael Mell and ADHD - Combined type.

I swear half of the characters in this musical have ADHD.

I have been formally diagnosed with ADHD. The objective of #NeuroDeviantSpot is to spread ADHD awareness via relating to fictional characters with practical illustrations of the symptoms. They are by no means a way of self diagnostic. I hope to spread a better understanding of ADHD and lead those who identify the symptoms in themselves to look for professional help.

I FEEL THIS SO HARD. I don't have autism but I have ADHD and this hits home for me! "All you need is to get more organized and you wouldnt be stressed out" when in reality even though my desk and room were cluttered I was more upset that I was ridiculed for that and felt inadequate and rejected by everyone because I was perfect and neat. I know it's the same but i see where you're coming from.

i think a lot of neurotypicals misunderstand what “routine” means in the context of autistic ppl needing routine. they seem very fixated on the idea that routine means doing the same thing at the same time every day (eg always eating at 12, always showering at 7, idk, stuff like that) and they don’t seem to get that while yes, those are a kind of routine that some autistic ppl need/like, it’s not the only thing. 

like for me, for example, it is way more important that the songs i listen to play in the right order and that the right kind of audio is on in the background when i do different tasks than it is that i do said tasks at a specific time of day. the routines that are important to me are about how i do things, not when. but nt ppl don’t understand this. 

why is this important? bc i have had So. Many. neurotypicals tell me that the reason i’m depressed/anxious/not feeling well is that i don’t have enough of those when routines in my life. that obviously if i made sure to always shower at the exact same time of day i wouldn’t be depressed. that obviously if i made sure to always get up at exactly the same time, no wiggle room of even a minute, then i wouldn’t be anxious. “because you’re autistic!” they say, “and routines are important for you! you’ve even said so yourself!”

and then they proceed to not take the actual reasons why i’m feeling unwell seriously, because obviously if an autistic person isn’t living minute by minute according to a schedule that dictates their every move then that has to be the cause of all their problems.
