Also, just fyi, the school system here has a system of "school"diagnosis that redefines adhd as only the most obvious unignorable symptoms and contradicts medical diagnosis.

The idea that schools are causing the rise in adhd diagnosis is amazing because they try really hard to ignore it. Seriously

Thank goodness another piece by one of these "greatest writers of a generation" who only writes about their personal preconceived ideas about things they haven't bothered to get real sources about, probably because people love reading about how things that challenge their reality are fake. Chaching.

I didn't read the nyt adhd article, I got the message from the headline, I see other people have.

I am really working on not reading these douche canoes rage bait pieces.

A few years ago they managed to publish about the Adderall shortage that barely implied people were faking drug addicts.

This article does not contain a single piece of evidence for its central premise.
I don't think I've ever disagreed and agreed more strongly with a piece, seesawing from one paragraph to the next.

Will come back to dissect.

No energy right now.

Asthma symptoms make you tired.
Haven't been able to take ADHD meds in a week because of asthma med side effects.
Can't go outside unless fully necessary because I am allergic to leaves and we didn't do a high enough maintenance dose this fall.

I'm having peak only some foods I normally eat are fathomable, for instance Parmesan goldfish crackers. 1 type of yogurt.

Probably going to make a lot of biscuits, scones, and steam buns over this week.

School doesn't cause adhd.

Perhaps our system which supports our culture's desire to not pay for "other people's children", a major root of which is racism, another ablesim, which believes only some children are "worthy" and not all children deserve an education is involved.

You think no one in my generation has ADHD?
Cool, cool.
We're doing combo inhaler therapy in asthma, and I have been reading a textbook from the library, don't worry, I can explain all of it, I have printed the 20+ page asthma treatment quick reference for clinicians for you, lets go.

Everyone who writes an ADHD denial, blame shifting, diagnosis rate panic article in a major news paper should have to hang out w/ ADHD people and hear about whatever their current hyperfocus is until the ADHD person gets tired of explaining it to them.
It could even be "in a diner", a 24 hour diner

I do not know where I would be without Doctor Who

When I started high school someone asked me if there was a mentor or role model who shaped me.

I babbled about the Doctor for like minutes.

Make a spreadsheet. List cooking times (and resting for protein), device (oven, crock pot, stove top, smoker, grill, etc) and temperatures. Work backwards from when dinner is ready. Project manage this fucker.
most people just aren’t going to magically know how to juggle all those dishes just because it’s a holiday. there’s no shame in doing a couple of things really well

I have too many plants. I know this sounds impossible but I have a finite amount of space and I need to keep them set up where I don't have to move plants to water other plants. I rearranged them and there's less plants by the windows that get sun but there are now plants invading other rooms. /

I keep saying this but it’s at least very interesting that many doctors didn’t think ADHD persisted into adulthood until you couldn’t buy Ritalin over the counter anymore and most people stopped smoking.
yeah tbh I’d really rather be on ADHD meds and NOT have to develop a two pack a day cigarette habit as someone who’s never smoked before just to function
I guess I can drink twelve coffees a day while chain smoking if you want me to do this in a socially acceptable manner, I just don't see how that's better for my physical or mental health than Vyvanse, y'know?

Joke explainer: Baudelairian jihad is a Dune reference to Butlerian jihad which has an interesting wiki page. There's also a dune book named Dune: Butlerian jihad.
