Therapist: Do you have friends to play with at school, like at recess?
My #ADHD 8 year old: I'm not lonely, if that's what you're asking.

"This Is What You Asked For" just came on the radio, so I turned it up to an ungodly volume and had what I assume is close to a religious experience jamming out and screaming along.
Ended the song crying, gasping for air, and happy vocal stimming.
I need another concert stat.

Hey, #ADHD friends...
How to sleep well? I suck at falling asleep AND staying asleep. Anyone have any tips?
I've tried:
- low lights at night
- blue light filters at night
- reduced screentime
- asmr
- rain sounds
- sleep music
- melatonin
- a myriad of prescription sleep meds

I have a jar of clean forks and spoons and a jar of dirty forks and spoons, thank you very much. When the clean jar is empty, they all get washed. #ADHD

AH! I had a question that I wanted to pose to my fellow #ADHD folks.
My kiddo last night was talking about how when he brushes his teeth, he can't taste anything for around 30-60 min. (Orange juice tastes bad, apparently nothing else has a taste.) Maybe SPD?
Anyone else experience this?

Just saw a chores hack that I think I'm going to try with my #ADHD kid.
Basically, you just tape up a picture of the room where it's 100% clean so that your kid has a frame of reference and can compare their environment to the photo.
It ideally takes some pressure off of their executive function.

Did you know that #ADHD folks often deal with hypermobility and don't even realize it?
When I was a kid, I didn't understand the concept of "locking out your knees" because my knees didn't "stop". I didn't believe it was a thing until I saw someone faint from doing it.

My #ADHD: Nicotine and an energy drink is a suitable meal, yes?
Me: No?

When your #ADHD kiddo decides the night prior that they're having Spaghetti-Os for breakfast, your kid has Spaghetti-Os for breakfast.
Pick your battles, folks. If they're fed, it doesn't really matter if it's a "normal" meal for that particular time of day.

Meant to clarify this awhile back, but then the fires hit and priorities shifted. Hope this helps!

I was dx'd back in what would've been either '98 or '99, somewhere around there. I don't remember almost anything from the process other than a doctor telling my mom "She doesn't have autism, her desire for friendship is way too high."
Just for reference on how autistic ppl were viewed back then.

Also, up until 2013 autism and ADHD were mutually exclusive diagnoses in the DSM despite them being highly correlated with each other and blending into each other.
Up until then, tons of autistic people were just misdiagnosed as having ADHD.
Now consider the 90's rise in ADHD diagnoses.

There are more *diagnosed* autistic people because they changed the diagnostic criteria and started diagnosing people other than white boys with autism. Also: 40 years of "awareness" campaigns.
That's it. Mystery solved.

So I recently learned that they've done fMRIs on #ADHD brains and when we're genuinely bored our brain activity resembles that of someone in a high level of physical pain.
Oooo, it makes so much sense.
