Don't forget the super powers that come with it. Clock patterns faster than anyone. Notice mircro changes. Hyper focused. Crisis mode competence. Strong intuition. 😁

Legit, diagnosed with combined ADHD two days ago at the age of 22. I genuinely have never felt more free and more clarified than ever before, even more than when I came out.

It should be called DAVE—standing for Dopamine, Attention Variability, and Executive dysfunction.

I fully believe ADHD and Autism are forms of human evolution to keep up with the fast and faster world. ADHD can keep up while Autism is able to make sense of small things while the world moves fast.

It’s a dopamine deficiency disorder too. If we label it by its cause rather than by its symptoms, we stop blaming the patient for its effect.

You literally nailed it. Emotion is the quickest trigger for me. When I can’t problem solve, I panic.

I don’t like the “difficulty” phrases because it implies that all ADHD people need to do is try harder. And that’s how most people view it. Now, is it controllable for some people? Absolutely. But not everyone. And depending on about a thousand different factors, it is nearly uncontrollable. It’s who we are. It’s how we operate. And the “trying harder” is essentially someone else saying “rewire your brain and be someone different. Just keep all the factors of adhd that we appreciate and that serve us active”.

The “hyper” part always bothered me because I’m not hyper. I’m often burnt out and exhausted or I’m dealing with executive dysfunction. That is still adhd

I am an angry woman who was a high achieving, impulsive, easily distracted, highly creative, anxiety ridden girl who masked the hell out of myself my entire life to the point where I'm on the cusp of 49 and I have no idea who the fuck I am....
