Going through old folders and found this gem. It's true. #adhd #executivedysfunction #alttext available!
And old reddit post from username 41024reddit that reads as follows: It's a common misconception that ADHD simply means being hyper and/or being unable to focus, when a more accurate way to describe it would be not as an attention deficit but as an executive function deficit. That's why so many parents of children with ADHD oare skeptical of the diagnosis; they see a problem that little Timmy Tina has trouble sitting still and paying attention to homework and chores, yet they can sit down in front of a video game for hours at a time! "See, they must be slacking off, they don't really have trouble focusing!" A true ELI5 on how this actually affects people is 'ICNU': Interest, challenge, novelty, and urgency. If something doesn't meet one of those four categories, someone with ADHD just isn't going to be able to do it. Let's use doing the dishes as an example; is it interesting? Not even slightly. Challenging? Not really. Novel? Nah. Urgent? Not yet, but once that person with ADHD needs clean dishes, then it gets done because now it meets one of those four criteria. In that sense, putting things off until the very last second is essentially a coping mechanism for ADHD, rather than a symptom of itself. On a related note, that's also why video games in particular are like the stereotypical ADHD hobby/addiction, most video games check all four of those 'ICNU' boxes at once. They were made for us.

Overthinking can sometimes help make decisions. ADHD rumination just replays pain with no end. Do you notice a difference between the two?

#PDA #Autistic panic, overwhelm, even meltdown. All because of impatience and assuming I didn't care. But laziness doesn't truly exist. Google #ExecutiveDysfunction, and lay off when people are struggling. In life, I'd rather be late than miserable.

People with ADHD may avoid tasks, not from laziness, but from guilt about past “failures.”

Guilt after a minor mistake isn’t overreacting; it’s a sign of emotional exhaustion and internalized shame. Do you find yourself apologizing more than necessary?

Reflections on being late-diagnosed. #ADHD
FB post screenshot from 3Dr. Jen Wolkin: Neurodivergent Neuropsyc... Getting "good grades" often let ADHD slip under the radar (through the cracks) because if you looked successful on paper, people assumed you were fine. But here's the truth: many ADHDers are also missed even when their grades weren't good. Why? Because ADHD isn't always disruptive to others, and if it doesn't inconvenience the system, it often goes unnoticed. This is how so many of us end up raw-dogging ADHD for decades without the right support. Your brain is beautiful. I love you, XO, Dr. Jen #ADHD #ADHDAwareness #Neurodivergent #ExecutiveDysfunction #ADHDSupport #ADHDLife #ADHDBrain #Neuropsychology #InvisibleDisability #ADHDCommunity Black text on a solid purple background: It's wild how they let you raw-dog ADHD your entire life if you got good grades. xo, Dr. Jen (@drjenwolkin) White text on a grayscale gradient background: Going from a high achieving child to a burned out adult is an undiagnosed neurodivergent realization. Screenshot of a FB post from Alex Partridge. I got my ADHD diagnosis aged 34, and yes there was a combined feeling of grief, relief and joy, but also a massive realisation that I had no clue who ALEX really was. I had spent so many years changing my entire personality simply to be liked. Shape shifting, mirroring, copying others just to fit in and avoid any criticisms. I've spoken to thousands of late diagnosed ADHDers, in person and on my podcast, and we all have this realisation in common, which is comforting but also sad that so many people, especially women, were missed for so long. But the positive thing is that we can now rebuild our self awareness, find our tribe, be more true to ourselves and slowly build back the self esteem that was hacked away over years of pretending. None of us are broken, just different. We have all always been enough.

The executive function being dysfunctional?? Who woulda thought 🫠

I know it won't be so bad once I start this task. However, the starting part is Difficult Difficult Lemon Difficult.

I posted this back then as an expression of how my brain felt.
Still often feels like that.
As I try to organize my mind to tackle what I need & want to get done.
Lately though I heard of the term #ExecutiveDysfunction which makes a whole lotta sense.
Keep Pushin.

Today was the most productive day I have had in month. Every days prior, I couldn't set myself to do anything.

At 28, I finally conquered my ADHD's executive dysfunction to cook for the first time. I can code an app all night, but cooking for 10 minutes? That was the real challenge! Bell peppers, walnuts, and grapes saved the day, and a kitchen rookie emerged victorious. #ADHD #ExecutiveDysfunction
