Not being able to explain why I'm upset and then being upset about not being able to explain it.

That loop has been running for as long as I can remember.

“One Task at a Time”
…a reminder for my undiagnosed #ADHD brain

Truquets que vaig trobant per no ser un putu desastre.
Perquè em consti que coi és el què estic fent, què em queda per fer i què he fet.
Així estem.
Per si serveix a algú.

Coses de #personesaltamentdisperses i #pensamentarborescent , unes característiques plenes d'avantatges però patològiques quan se'ns obliga a viure en un sistema per a una #neuronormativitat que és un invent.

"... Here we critically review evidence collected during the past 40-plus years supporting the role of dopamine dysfunction in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
...
Examining the evidence in this way leads us to conclude that there is evidence for the involvement of dopamine but limited evidence for a hypo-dopaminergic state per se as a key component of ADHD. ..."

No one is going to give me a fucking serious answer because I'm a weak minded piece of shit according to the majority of the internet…

But do any other autistic people have this relationship with spice where it's like… I'm not a super champ but I do REALLY REALLY enjoy certain foods like tonight I got a street truck paneer dosa and I'm SO hungry and my mouth thinks it wants more?? But also a few bites is enough and I don't feel capable of eating more even though I'm HUNGRY and it TASTES REALLY GOOD? But I just… can't… eat… more…

Like my "flavor" intake is maxed out EVEN THOUGH IT'S DELICIOUS I just can't tolerate a lot AND EVEN THOUGH I'm still ravenous…

I need a fellow ADHDer to put into words for Miguel why excessive non-sense questioning (but do you want a tall cup, medium, porcelain, glass...with your coffee) drives us insane. Could you guys help?

Hot take: I really dislike the term AuDHD because it fucks up the ADHD abbreviation. My brain reads AuDHD as Autistic Deficit Hyperactive Disorder and I hate that.

(I dislike the term ADHD as well, but that is a different rant)

Coby Watts @cobywattsmusic It’s always “you have ADHD” and never “wow, loved the way you told three different stories at the same time.

💭 You're context switching like a pro. Your hypercurious mind is drawn to even the smallest details, fascinated and totally absorbed within seconds. Your attention is all over the place, with too many mental tabs open.

*Everything, everywhere, and all at once.*

Does this sound familiar?
What's your go-to method for recalibrating yourself and getting out of this loop?

#May is a relentlessly busy month in the garden, when many gorgeous things are waiting in the wings for that diva slot & to command your attention for a while.

It is also that transition between spring and summer. In the ancient tales of Wales, it is the time of #Blodeuedd who was magically formed from the flowers of oak, broom and meadowsweet and embodies that lustfulness of life itself.

Life speeds up & everything is possible. So much to do & so little time. Maybe she had #ADHD as well.

Happy #Wednesday, y'all.
I am still in low power mode, and that's OK.

I suppose, one of the many things I have recently learned about myself as someone with all of the glamorous elements of #ADHD and a few extra handfuls of #autusm pixie dust, is that sometimes, I just need to unravel & find my groove again.

My mind races at 20 million parsecs per hour even when I am trying to rest.

That's why I need so much high energy #chocolate to help balance the #force.

Azalea Herbert makes me happy. I also think that it is the first evergreen azalea that I have ever known to have a scent. My sense of smellnis a bit random at the best of times but I can certainly appreciate this one. Growing and collecting plants allows me to go 'off grid' and daydream for a while, whilst also deep diving into various horticultural rabbit holes that are ultimately only interesting to me. 😁 I also like this azalea because the pale blue mauve colour really glows in the evening light.

Wonder how many people with ADHD, or autism, don't get diagnosed based on the family member interviews where the parent themselves has ADHD or autism and just thinks the kid is normal - just like them. Intense interests? Duh, hobbies. Issue with time? Everyone's scatter brained, but they focus well when interested! Hard time with social situations? Whole family is introverts, leave gammy's spoon collection out of this! Etc.

The text of the post reads: "adhd in media: haha shiny! xD sorry i'm so random!! adhd in reality: ok so imagine you could fix your entire life by doing something that is super easy and and will take no time at all and you're not doing it and you have no idea why but no matter how hard you try you aren't doing it"
