That does feel exciting, and what I don't like as much is the way the exact same task can feel like pushing a boulder uphill the next time you attempt it, even if you're drawn to it.

I keep hearing about how #ADHD people make the best entrepreneurs because they're always brimming with new ideas and new things they want to do or try... and every time, I look at myself and start doubting my AuDHD evaluation all over again

Anxiety brain can’t always tell the difference between “this problem is preventable, stay vigilant” and “you’re too late, chum—buckle up.”

The moment of WTH and then the sudden yet resigned realization when you see the abandoned glass of beer on the shelf above the stove and you realize that last night you poured it, put it there, started washing dishes, then couldn't find it and came to the conclusion you had already drunk it.

#AuDHD

G’mornin, kids. 🌅

Is what I'd like to say, but then my psychologist told me I'm probably not autistic and it might be that I have such high levels of social anxiety that I tip the scores and pass as autistic in tests.

So I'm left stuck in a limbo without knowing what to look at for reference.

Figuring out #AuDHD 👍🏻👌🏻

*needs to absolutely get out of work at 5.30pm*

*grabs phone, opens alarm app*

"Right, I set my usual morning alarms to an hour earlier today, I should change them back!"

*changes old alarms. closes app*

*only looks back at the clock at 5.39pm. Bolts out the door*

And I still question my #AuDHD

I was involved in fandom for most of my life. Literally countless hours devoted to keeping track of all the things regarding my favorite show of the moment. Translating. Organizing. Sharing. Then one or four years later something would happen, I'd stop and go on to the next thing.

The ADHD experience of being entirely and completely sure that you have more than enough time to do the thing...

right up until panic sets in and you realize you most definitely do not

One of the biggest struggles with an ambiguous #AuDHD diagnosis is I feel the need to relitigate *everything* ("what if X was always because I'm neurospicy?") AND at the same time I'm convinced I'm now seeing it everywhere because I'm looking for a cop-out, an excuse to be different when I shouldn't

I know people who have the "I got so focused I didn't realize I hadn't eaten or slept or peed all day" ADHD but the version I got is more like "I have felt an intense need to eat, sleep, and pee for hours but they all feel less interesting and less pressing than sitting here with this book" ADHD
