What type of ADHD do you have? I have the "sometimes agrees to plans enthusiastically, but then panics and cancels at the last minute" type

"I wish I had ADHD. I wish I had your kind of energy"
-An old coworker of mine
Had to explain to her that the energy we feel is mostly pure unfiltered raw anxiety that doesn't go away and also doesn't allow us to stay still. I hate that some people treat it as a quirky kinda thing

Russell Barkley once said that people with ADHD don't have an attention deficit, but an INTENTION deficit, and honestly I can't stop thinking about it.

Friendly reminder that ADHD is so much more than struggling with attention.
It's struggling with emotions.
& organization.
& motivation.
& decision making.
& short term memory.
& prioritization.
& impulsivity.
& rejection.
& time management.
& consistency.
& friendships.
Don't put us in a box.

So, let me get this straight.
The people who swear climate change is "fake news" are also convinced that people are somehow "controlling the weather" to cause catastrophic events?
Make it make sense. My overly analytical brain is struggling to understand how people can be so stupid. 😭😭

Today's my 32nd birthday! 🥳
According to pop psychology, because I have ADHD, I apparently have 3 more years until I have a fully developed prefrontal cortex. (Not sure how much truth there is to that though)

Trump talking about autism:
"Think of it this way... out of 10,000 people, only 18 are safe."
Not only did he make the absurdly false claim that 9,982 people out of a sample of 10,000 people (99.82%) are autistic...
He said that if you’re NOT autistic, then you're "safe".
What the actual fuck.

Having ADHD means constantly existing outside of the flow state. 🫠
Except for when you're in hyperfocus mode, and it's usually on something that's not important.

“ADHD just means you can’t focus.”
That's where you're wrong. We can focus.
The problem is we don’t get to choose WHAT we focus on.
Or when.
Or for how long.
It’s like someone else is holding the remote to our attention span, and they’re flipping channels at random.

I never realized how chaotically I undress until I noticed that everything of mine that comes out of the dryer is inside out.
Like, I REALLY can't be bothered to slow down or at least fix it before tossing it in the basket?
It stays that way too. I just fold it wrong & let future me deal with it.

ADHD makes me feel like sleeping is a waste of time.
Not because I don’t need it—I absolutely do—but because it just feels pointless. Like hitting pause on a life I already feel behind in.
And it’s not just sleep.
Going to the bathroom? Showering? Meals? All inconvenient wastes of time. 🧵

Shout out to non-judgmental pharmacists like Clayton & co. 🙌
