@eazy Not just #RainMan. Also #BigBangTheory. Or #NapoleonDynamite. Or #Atypical. Or #HighPotential / #HPI . So many ways that #Autistic / #ADHD / #AuDHD folks have been represented in media. Not always accurate, not always positive.

I have a drawer for things like keys, sunglasses etc. years before my ADHD diagnosis, I also had a ziplock bag with a few basic medications, band aids etc in it. Before that, I’d kept a few of everything in the little zippered pocket of every hand bag, tote bag, back pack etc, but some would be in there unused for years, hence the little bag.
Since stopping work, I’ve got out of the habit of maintaining & taking that little pack out with me.
I’m currently working on two active projects and trying to complete them. However, my tendency to get distracted by my “squirrel brain” makes it challenging to maintain focus on both projects simultaneously.
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.
