A friend is completing her Capstone Senior project at Syracuse. She's looking for ppl to complete a 1-min brief survey on a proposal for ADHD/ADD. You do not have to be diagnosed w/ or know anyone diagnosed w/ADHD or ADD to take it. Thank you!

Hey I think I might have ADHD. Or as I call it "Add Hood" like... oh what was the programme. Phonejacker! That was it...

Meillä on perheessä useampi, saanko tulla heidän puolestaan moikkaamaan, koska tää koskettaa vahvasti?
Kuopuksella ADHD ja autismi, puolison tyttärellä ADD ja myös esikoisellanikin on ADD-epäilyä ollut.

"When those prove not to be very effective or generate side effects, the response too often is add more drugs to the mix, when even the original Rx is a gamble with developing brains, particularly given the loose definition of what constitutes ADHD.

Oh yeah. CHADD = Children and Adults with ADD/ADHD

Gonna add on something else I learned for hacking my ADHD.

If you have a good day where you get a lot done without a list go and write down everything you did and then cross it all off for that dopamine boost

Agreed! ADD was extremely difficult to express to people, because it was associated so strongly with hyperactivity. I was very glad when the DSM-V finally broke it into ADHD and ADHD-PI, as I've never been particularly hyperactive, but I do suffer greatly from the disorder.

Given our expanding understanding of neurodiversity and the countless permutations of ADHD, ADD, autism, Asperger’s, and others -Is it still possible for someone to just be a big nerd or a giant dork?

In my opinion it's ADD without any H and the reason the docs are reluctant to call it ADHD is because I had no symptoms during childhood but also my memory is so bad I don't remember how I felt as a kid so 💁‍♀️
Also I feel like the anxiety they told me I have is counteracting some of the ADHD stuff

I have ADHD and my mind is firing a mile a minute in every direction, add weed and I can’t get my shit straight. Exactly why I‘m a terrible liar 😂
November 20, 2025 at 4:17 PM
Add onto that with ADHD & Autism taking it's own energy and I barely felt anything done in a day, and because GPs don't listen or help me, I'm stuck like this for a while now.

I'm just getting beaten up from everything and it's not fun

I'm convinced that, given my experience and how often I hear about girls with ADHD and autism being misdiagnosed with eating disorders, the DSM needs to just add disordered eating as a diagnostic criteria for both conditions.

Hell yes. Especially for kiddos. My kiddo's ADHD therapy sessions helped *me* more than him. It let me understand how his brain worked so I could talk to him better.

Also that apparently I had ADD this whole time too and just somehow managed.

I’ll also add that I count my blessings I turned 18 in 2007. 2025 is a damn minefield for people with ADHD. Just abundant stimuli everywhere clawing at my attention.

After some hours of re-learning how tf use Blender + late hours where my brain doesn't have the adhd pills boost.. The third day I learnt the parts, armatures, even add shape keys! It's not perfect but, my goal has been achieved. I can make it better but since I go on my on pace I'm fine with this.

Ya know what's cool about my trauma induced ADD? ADHD?

I'll forget if I locked the door as I move from floor to floor in the house AND I HATE STAIRS so I sprint up them ALWAYS. I tend to sprint them like 4 times checking the door till I'm confident then leave 🫠
- so I get in plenty of leg exercise!

There's a significant problem with some people thinking that people who take drugs for ADD or ADHD or ASD, or the parents of those children have a moral or character deficit.
That belief prevents a lot of people who need and would benefit from such help from getting it.
November 20, 2025 at 1:10 PM
Could be. We spend more time than ever with our kids, IIRC.

Also: ADHD meds add a much needed air traffic controller to the otherwise mostly empty control tower in my brain. For instance, right now it's what's keeping me from going to find out who wrote that and giving them a piece of my mind!

So to give an update to those who care. I'm doing really badly. You'll have noticed I don't really do content much anymore. When I have it's just sat on my phone unposted. I've been diagnosed with ADD but the NHS aren't accepting shared care agreements for ADHD/ADD so I'm back to square one.🧵

I’m paywalled here, but I would like to add, that our MD has informed us there’s growing research on overlap between ADHD and autism spectrum. Our son is charted as ADHD and on Vyvanse, but most of the therapy is for skills for ASD. So this kid might be untreated for more than lne reason.

Late night, racing thought, insomnia fueled shout-out to my 5th grade teacher for suggesting I get tested for ADD(wasn't referred to as ADHD really then). Absolutely nobody ever listened to her advice. Oh well. Time to dwell on everything and not sleep because I'm hyper focusing on my heartbeat.
