One thing I have learnt is that pattern recognition can prove to be such a strong attribute.
Man, I'm putting all my skill points on that!

After all those years of endless daydreaming, inability to keep track of my personal things, time blindness, auditory issues…
I got my official ADHD diagnosis today. I’m 27. I’m getting medication and I’m very hopeful.

hate how people can't fucking differentiate between ADD and ADHD and don't understand that it has different degrees of severity like autism does. don't know if it's just a my country/language thing but here we call it either ADHD or attention deficit disorder kind of just interchangeably, which is a big fucking problem because it doesn't acknowledge the hyperactivity and everyone with ADD just gets lumped in as ADHD because I guess we forgot what the damn H stands for. nowadays every kid is getting diagnosed with it (often self diagnosed or by their parents just because they daydream in class and fidget sometimes) so I get situations where I explain to people how I need to pace around and I need constant stimulation and I can't retain information well and all of my ADHD traits aren't things I can just change and they go "well I/my kid/whoever else has attention deficit disorder and they don't need to do all those things, stop using it as an excuse" do you understand my hell.
#i just started telling people i'm hyperactive which makes me sound like a damn toddler#and doing more obvious stims on purpose so people will at least understand or attribute it to my autism or whatever#we need to gatekeep adhd i'm sorry guys. at least until a fucking line in the sand is drawn between it and add.#i make it sound like a bigger deal than it is most people are supportive but like. i still can't stand how no one treats it as a spectrum.#my adhd is not on the same level of timmy's who daydreams in class sometimes#like my autism is not on the same level as john's who's nonverbal and needs assistance#i don't understand why we've gone out of our way to make it clear autism is a spectrum and different people need different accommodations#but we can't do the same for adhd and add#adhd is not taken seriously at all because of this shit#adhd#actually adhd#neurodivergent#ableism#lukas rants#hila has spoken

I think I might have ADHD. I’ll have to bring it up next time I’m at my therapist.
To anyone who has taken a test for ADHD, what was it like? It’s been a LOOOOOOONG time since my autism diagnosis (like. over a decade) so I don’t remember much about what it was like, and I’m sure the tests are different now than they were then.
Is ADHD testing similar to autism testing? Or is it very different? I’d like to know about what to expect!
#After watching Jaiden’s video on ADHD I realized that lots of the traits she described fit me#though it’s hard to tell which of those could just be caused by autism#due to how many overlaps autism and ADHD have it can be hard to tell which one a kid has or if they have both#I already take some ADHD meds but the reason I take them could be attributed to autism#autism#actually autistic#neurodivergent#ADHD

wondering why im so fucking sleepy for no reason then remembered I forgot to take my meds for 3 days
#how did i live in this world unmedicated like#i have always been this sleepy and tired all the time i just thought it was a personal flaw#taking adhd meds actually made me so#idk when i first had it i coulsnt stop telling my friends how awesome it was to be awake#its like theres no longer a heavy cloud over my consciousness 80% of the time#i could actually read books without dozing off it was amazing ..#so why did i forget...idk i just forgot. i have the forgot disorder#tbh a few months ago id know if i forgot my meds bc I'd just suddenly get sleepy in the middle of the day#these few days i just attributed it to academic stress and lack of sleep and what not but it only just occured to me like#uh#5 min ago#that this is how i feel without medication#cool. cool. i forgot about my brain condition and accidentally slept my whole morning away instead of writing my reports#its actually crazy to me that i need external influences to function normally like i need my awake pills#caffeiene doesnt even do shit for me#i need my stupid fucking cocaine#sorry im just angry at myself again for 1)wasting away hours being sleepu#2)forgot my meds made me remember my debuff. a reminder that i cant ever be normal#adhd is fun except when its not fun then. it fucking sucks#its only good for yapping

I still really relate to The Hulk. The idea of having two personas: one very quiet and shy while the other is the manifestation of the anger he bottled up... that's uncanny it's relatability. I'm incredibly lonely irl, with my only friend being my dad. But whenever I'm at school, I go all quiet and end up almost seeing like the most well behaved and reserved student. Yet when I get home, I have my violent mood swings wherein I'll sometimes even end up hitting my dad or calling him names. For me The Hulk is incredibly relatable for those very reasons. His personas pretty much represent two aspects of me, as well.
#I relate to his worst attributes I guess#shy lonely and angry#all things that can describe me#so the hulk is just...so relatable#the hulk#hulk#incredible hulk#the incredible hulk#bruce banner#marvel#marvel comics#autism#asd#neurodivergent#autistic#adhd#anger issues#shy#shyness#mood swings

being evaluated for adhd by having one of those full psych evals that last like two hours. scared frightened etc.... last time i took it i lied extensively bc i was 13 and thought they might tell my mommy if i said i had suicidal thoughts. and i still have a habit of lying to therapists bc i'm embarrassed......... AGH idk. what if i take it and they tell me that the reason im Like This is bc im genuinely just weird and shitty and not bc im mentally ill at all. SCARED
#which is dumb bc i have been formally diagnosed with multiple mental illnesses i dont think they can just take it back right?????#this is so stupid and cliche but what if i have been faking it........ all along........ Argh.#when i was in res i was put on adderall (bc the house psych just kind of experimented w meds LMFAO) and i had to go off them after like#two weeks bc it was affecting my appetite in a way i couldnt afford at the time lmao. but i do genuinely feel like it helped during that#time.... which is why i want to go on it again!!!! but im scared theyll just be like nah and i wont be able to take any of my meds anymore#is that crazy. am i being crazy rn. idk i truly do think most of my experiences w school and like. life could be explained by adhd and#when i was a kid they thought i had it but the two meds they tried didnt work for me so they just. kind of gave up#and i was really extremely unable to do school and graduated hs w an insanely low gpa and then dropped out of community college. LMAO. not#that people w adhd cant be good in school i just couldnt make myself do homework and couldnt listen in class bc i was too busy focusing on#listening. if that makes sense#IDK. idk. i know it's become like. a trend to have adhd is the issue and everything is being attributed to having it so im worried that ive#like. accidentally fallen in w that? even though ive thought i had it for forever and everyone has been like girl do you have this. IDK!!!!#idk. idkkkk im just like. genuinely scared. it's not the end of the world if im not diagnosed obviously but that means that#im just like this for no reason at all. and there's no way of helping it bc it's just the way i am. and i actually am just shitty n lazy.#epic. which incidentally is the proper name for how fucking long these tags are my bad. if you read this far sorry for being insane 👍

people getting mad headcanons to me is like getting mad at someone for playing pretend incorrectly like what do you mean i'm pretending this character is autistic incorrectly?
#got into it with someone cuz i was like katniss is autistic to me and they were like but she has ptsd and i was like okay and?#shes still autistic to me#and they were like trying to explain away the autistic traits by saying no but her ptsd caused that and i must have missed the part where#it says she has ptsd in the series first of all and second of all bro why not both? why does it weird u out that im attributing traits to#autism as well as ptsd or whatever the character headcanon is like i make everyone i relate to autistic or adhd because there is no way tha#i could ever relate to NTs lmfao thats a joke but anyways#like for example to me dean has adhd and cas has autism#stiles has adhd confirmed but derek has autism#wednesday is autistic#katniss is autistic#draco is autistic#hermione is autistic#eleanor has adhd#emma swan is autistic#etc you get the point#i just do it cause i want to i like finding ways to represent characters as autistic or adhd because its fun let me fucking have fun#why do you feel the need to get angry over make-believe honestly#personal

Me knowing concussions are very bad but thinking people exaggerate them for fanfiction
My mom : you've had multiple diagnosed concussions in your life
Me who has zero memory of any of this: 😧
#do not remember going to the doc to get diagnosed#no idea of any of the post concussion care#ive attributed my memory issues to the adhd#but perhaps it is also the bonks to the jead

Do you know this (noncanon) ADHD character?
Evidence below the cut!
First of - he's really impulse. He easily gets angry and can be calmed down pretty fast. He has trouble with staying in one place and waiting. Second of - he can get really hooked on one thing and just become a specialist on it only if he's interested. It's partially the reason why he never finished school. He also has problems with speech and is overall quite clumsy. Also in general he can't make a plan that works. Honestly very oblivious example of a guy who everyone would call lazy but he clearly isn't.
#poll#noncanon adhd character#in my defense today. media tour embargo for ffxiv lifted#so ive been busy#with yknow. important things#trailer park boys#tpb#tpb ricky#ricky lafleur#went to the wiki page for this guy and the first thing i saw was#'Fuck off!' - Why don't you go fuck yourself#why is it attributed to why don't you go fuck yourself#did ricky say this or is the wiki just really mad that i might want to know who said it#what a weird decision

sometimes im like maybe its not adhd maybe its ocd but i really hate that i keep realizing i possibly have more and/or other stuff
#.txt#the symptoms make more sense#a lot of things i consider my adhd i could attribute to the autism#but there are things like the lack of drive to start activities and struggling to stay attentive#ohh but the rituals.#which ive always contributed to my schiz and autism#but i keep reading more n more about ocd and urm#the obessive thoughts you cant break free from and compulsive behaviors to soothe them..#i do that like to the point where its affected my health#funnie haha. i revisit this like every other month. time to ignore it again actually

noah fence but whenever someone continuously considers george's blunt honesty as rude or arrogant rubs me the wrong way .
#george isn't nd and that's none of my business but like. do ppl know that honesty is the way a lot of nd ppl talk#specifically ppl w autism and adhd#so if u continuously attribute blunt honesty to rudeness it just makes me feel uncomfortable#ame rambles

Basically, it goes:
Am I neurodivirgent/neurodevergent/neurodivergent/neurodiverigent (Oh god, help, how do I spell it)?
Officially – no
According to my family – no, but there's definitely something wrong with you, why exactly you are like this? weird? Oh well, hopefully it will go away one day
According to my friends – yes, most definitely, either that or you're one crazy fucker, or both, actually, it would make a lot of sense honestly
According to random people I met – yesn't, because sometimes I feel like pretending to be a log and observing my hands, because oh wow, I didn't know I had whole TEN fingers, gee, and sometimes I make paper airplanes out of note that has my number in line for Final and Very Important Exam™ and then sent it flying through the awaiting room ignoring all other participants because I forgot they exist and are, in fact, capable of judging me.
According to online tests – yes, probably, you need to get help from professionals to make sure, tho
According to professionals – they have nothing to say about this, they don't exist in my close proximity, in my town, in my region, or in my fucking life (pardon for the language, I really tried, but there's this much I can do)
What about me? What do I think of this?
I think it doesn't matter. :D👍 Either neurodivergent folk is being very damn good at being relatable and I'm an asshole who overthinks stuff, or I'm one of them and I can- I don't know what I can do with that, actually. Yet again, in my country, the ✨✨✨Great Atlantis✨✨✨, we don't have any easily accessible medication or therapy for this kind of situations. So, I deem it unworthy to care about something that would bring me nothing but judge.
Instead I would prefer to take care of myself, acknowledge what I can do, what I can't, what I need for this and what I should avoid.
Make sure you take care of yourself too! ✨✨✨
#neurodivergent#IT SPELLS NEURODIVIRGENT#wait i spelled it wrong again#anyway#adhd#autism#ocd#those are what people like to attribute to me#I can get where first two comes but last one is confusing#send help#i need sleep#sleep is for the weak#i love tags

Learning more about my ADHD through like, a book that talks about symptoms and traits I had no idea were from ADHD ironically makes me hate having adhd less
#stuff about my personality traits that others love in me were things I realized likely began from it#my passion behind things that anger me …#it has the effect of making me do rants that others find hilarious#and it fuels my drive behind trying to make the world better#that fixation on things that anger me comes from the inability to shift to a ‘happy place’#obviously it’s a double edged sword but…#these were things I wholly attributed to autism#it also inspires spite and the need to prove others wrong. and it fuels my creative drive as well#also adhd makes me connect dots at a rapid pace . i wonder if this is how im able to quickly make comparisons#man.

me when not dissociating: I need to be more self-aware. Hold on to my sense of self and agency. I need to remember my affirmations and resilience and stuff. I can do this
dissociating: It was a dark and stormy night. The cold seeped into him until his bones were heavy with ice and sorrow. An obligation loomed in the near future, social expectations like an electric fence at the bottom of the hill. There are no brakes on the wagon, no brakes, no brakes
#dissociation#metaphors#unfortunately that's how my brain is though#it's a different state of consciousness#unreality#mental illness#neurodivergence#adhd feels#idk what disorder (if any particular one) to attribute this to#could be undiagnosed extra fun sauce because i was not aware of how much time i actually spend dissociated back when doing assessments#i don't have a nice conclusion to this#it's just#*gestures at the inexplicable dysfunction*
