It's ADHD awareness month so l thought it'd be nice to explain why someone with ADHD might consciously make horrible decisions despite being aware of the consequences

So, let's image a situation. A person with ADHD is doing a mildly entertaining activity, let's say doomscrolling. This person also has a task to do. I made a graph where the brighter the color, the higher the satisfaction that the person gets from an activity

[ID: A graph showing a line that divides into two separate lines. The main line, and the bottom line, are a dull yellow. The top line starts off black, and turns bright green as it gets further away from the bifurcation. /End ID]

So here, doomscrolling isn't super gratifying but hey, it's better than nothing. The person has the choice to keep doomscrolling, even though it's honestly pretty boring, or they could do the task they need to do. When they're done with that task, they'll feel a lot better, so they should do that, right? Just do the task because there's literally no cons? Well. Look at this other graph:

[ID: The same graph as before, but cropped to only show the bifurcation itself. This way, the top line seems to be completely black. /End ID]

This is how a person with ADHD perceives the choice. They can logically know that they'll feel better if they do the task, but executive dysfunction makes it literally impossible to get any sort of motivation or satisfaction for gratification that doesn't currently exist. So the choice goes from 'feel meh or feel good later' to 'feel great in comparison or never feel good again'. And what's the obvious choice here?

Happy ADHD awareness month

here’s your friendly reminder that we are not “just hyper” or “autism lite”

we are 100% a real neurodivergence and have our own struggles that come with that. Please don’t downplay our symptoms.

I wish all folks with ADHD (and people who support us) a lovely month

October is ADHD Awareness Month🧡✨

Mikey does well to wear the ADHD colours with pride✨

Stimming is a big part of ADHD and can take many different forms. How each individual is affected can change, because everyone is so unique. It can often be hard to understand why we stim or why we feel we have to do it, or even trying to understand why one form works and why one doesn’t. However, it’s not something that necessarily needs to be understood but it does need to be respected.

Everyone has the right to feel comfortable and work through their emotions in their own way, whatever those emotions are. Joy, sadness, anger, fear, anxiety, they all can be hard to regulate at times and stimming is an excellent way to realise some of that built up energy or simple quite the mind a little.

This is a safe space so feel free to share what forms of stimming you use or if there is any additional information you feel like adding to the conversation✨😊

It is October!

Which means it is BOTH ADHD Awareness Month and Dysautonomia Awareness Month, which are two of the most clashing colours I have ever seen, but at least you can't say that they're not visible!

It's a good month to learn more about ADHD and Dysautonomia (including POTS!). Here are some good places to start:

ADHD: - https://www.adhdaustralia.org.au/about-adhd/ - https://chadd.org/understanding-adhd/adhd-fact-sheets/

Dysautonomia & POTS: - https://dysautonomiainternational.org/ - https://potsfoundation.org.au/living-with-pots/

Also, if you're Australian - remember that taxes are due at the end of the month!
