Happy #ADHD treasure season (finding lost things in your coat pockets from last winter) to all who celebrate
almost every night my husband has to be encouraged to go bed, despite him being Super Tired (as evidenced by him getting more argumentative and fussy). He doesn't realize how bad it is until he stands up, at which point he *does* realize, and yet the next night we do it all over again.
is this an #adhd thing?
I relate to this way too much for someone without ADHD. The part labeled "the other day" hits especially hard because it's something I have to constantly remind myself of when talking to people.
ADHD and negative self focus
For many individuals with ADHD, the reality is more complex than just inattention. The opposite is often true: an extreme, poorly controlled fixation on distressing topics.
We call this the Negative Self-Focus.

@autistics Since the end of the last off week of my 7-on-7-off work schedule, I've been reflecting on the responses to my theory that the essence of autism lies in the ABSENCE or INACTIVATION of the #EnvironmentalYoke, a hypothesized complex neurological structure that neurotypicals use to engage with the physical and social environment. I think there may have been some misunderstanding of what I meant.
Now that I'm off again, I've continued with reading Russell #Barkley's "Taking Charge of Adult ADHD" (2nd ed., 2022). I'm currently in Chapter 9, "Executive Functions". His relentless neuronormativity continues to grate on my sensibilities — and his application of it to the concept of #ExecutiveFunctions leads me to suspect that theorizing about #ADHD, as well as autism, could benefit from introduction of the concept of the environmental yoke. Essentially, it seems to me that Barkley is conflating the very general, domain-independent concept of executive functions with the very specific perceptual and attentional biases built into the environmental yoke — and is compounding his error by assuming that those specific biases must necessarily render neurotypical executive function and engagement with the environment superior to their non-neurotypical counterparts.

Oh dexamphetamine, thief of joy, do I just hate you or do I hate having to take you to live in this oppressive world #adhd
When you can't check an item off your to-do list yet, but still want the dopamine hit, so you create a new sub item just to check it off.
