I think autistic people are often mistaken for being argumentative and needing to be right, when in reality, it's more about needing the information to be CORRECT... because we get overwhelming anxiety when we're convinced that it isn't. . . @adhdmikecoaching

no, I don't think so #ADHD

A screenshot of a social media post from an account named 'Vivian [@]suchnerv [@]suchnerve' that includes a small, circular profile picture of a person. The text of the post reads, 'Genre of neurodivergent that’s like “Sure that person talks to me all the time, compliments me, opens up to me, remembers the things I say, values my opinions, & sticks around even when I’m accidentally inappropriate... but do they ACTUALLY like me or are they just tolerating me?”'

"can you come to my office" should legally require a subject line #adhd #rsd

A screenshot of a social media post on a white background. The post features a circular profile picture of a person's face next to the username "Laurazepam" and the handle "[@]andlikelaura". Below the profile information, the text reads, "my favorite part about having a job is assuming you're fired every time your boss calls you into their office".

This is fascinating 🧠 #adhd

A question about meditation with an ADHD mind. I've meditated, on and off, for several years now. For years I tried to sit staring at the wall, following Zen Buddhist tradition. While I don't have a problem with the actual sitting, the restless monkey of a mind has been a struggle. I've finally understood it's easier for me to concentrate on the moment when there's a constant change in visual input. The best so far is looking at ground while walking.

The part I'm struggling the most with is noticing the current thought and letting it go. For me, it's a sudden shift in perception: I don't usually notice the current thought but instead remember now, which then pushes the previous thought away like a flick of a switch. I might even forget the previous though. Any thoughts or tips regarding this?

Anyway I learned yesterday that people with ADHD and/or autism often have really really strong census of Justice and fairness. so now I know why I react so strongly when people do things that are shitty. don't do shitty things guys! You'll stress out the ADHD and autistic folks!

#makeShitMonday, crochet edition, in which I have a socially acceptable fidget toy...

@mbroome and I are taking a weeklong vertical cave rescue class, and it has been a looooong time since I tried to cram this much information into my head this fast. Fortunately one of the course leaders is a teacher as her day job and understands ADHD, so she's totally okay with me crocheting my way through the classroom instruction.

We're three days in, and I've already finished the hat for my BIL and gotten a good start on the [crochet lace shrug](https://www.ilikecrochet.com/magazine/crochet-shawl-patterns/jade-vines-crochet-shrug/) I'm making with the nice cashmere yarn I got on super sale!

This shrug pattern is *perfect* for classroom #ADHD management - simple stitch, no finicky counting, just cluster into the chain-2 space over and over until I run out of yarn... 🥰 It's so much easier to concentrate on the lecture material when my hands are occupied! I even managed a halfway-decent Russian splice, from memory, when I ran into a break in the yarn.

A two-panel meme features a person in a kitchen setting. In the top panel, the person has a slight smile and the text reads, "Thinking I must be a very nice & inclusive person because almost everyone I've invited to my wedding has ADHD and/or autism..." The bottom panel shows the same person with wide eyes and raised eyebrows, accompanied by the text, "Realizing there is another very simple explanation".
