My sibling was able to nail a difficult interview and got quite a prestigious job. But they’re the one who thinks they have ADHD even though I’M the one who has it (by diagnosis) but I’m failing to even reach that milestone of life.

This is why I can’t take them seriously. Like how DARE you think you’re like me but keep making jokes about me, neglecting me while being a functioning adult in their public life in the process. How can you even claim to have ADHD when you don’t even bother trying to get a diagnosis from our family doctor? Either get a diagnosis or don’t fucking talk to me about your fake ‘quirk’.

You just want to BE like me, but you don’t want to SUFFER like me. You’re still BLIND to my struggle. I’m so sick and tired of people in my life downplaying what I’ve been struggling with my whole life.

@MakersHour A5 soooo this is the £million #ADHD question… oh yeah, what gap? What was I doing? Where did I put that thing? I didn’t *mean* to break it…. Hey I have just had a *brilliant* idea!! No, I do not need to tidy up the gazillions of unfinished projects first… The solution? (Not having #ADHD apart?) A maid? A housekeeper? A nanny (for me, not the offspring)? But I would find that intensely annoying. Why not just barrel on into life and hope for the best!

Hope you're well today. I'm in need of a lil help these days. Grateful for any amount at all but trying to gather up at least $20 if I can. 🙏🥺

Hi, I'm a painfully neurodivergent and chronically underemployed pan nb living in the buckle of the bible belt. I'm about to start a new job ($9/hr), but could still use a few bucks to help hold over until my first paycheck.

I'll be forever thankful if you are willing to support me or buy some of my music. Pics are of my dog, Biscuit and her handiwork; foot for scale.

Thank you for hearing me out.

@lmgenealogy I feel the same about my computer calendar. I would almost *never* remember to pay bills or take care of any other deadlines if I didn’t use my calendar with repeating reminders. It helps me too to have something right in front of me, something that is very visual that lays things out for me in the right way. I love paper planners, but I’ve never been able to stay consistent with those. As much as I wish I could.

I recently started using the hourly view on my digital calendar and that’s been helpful in getting me to ‘visualize’ chunks of time in a way that helps my brain realize things like the fact that I have 5 completely open hours (or whatever) instead of what *feels* like a much shorter time. This feeling like I only have a few minutes until some scheduled thing or dinner time, etc, is a big part of what keeps me from getting more done.

#ADHD

#askfedi are there podcast recommendations for the intersection of #ADHD and #SoftwareEngineering ? Or do I have to do that one myself? /hj
