Finally a good explanation. 🦓

why do you need a label?" because there is comfort in knowing you are a normal zebra, not a strange horse. Because you cant find community with other zebras if you dont know you belong. And bc it is impossible for a zebra to be happy or healthy spending its life feelinf like a failed horse.

        Your brain doesn't need a command to stop thinking. It needs a place to put the thoughts so it can let go. Write them down, then close the notebook.

        That's the whole trick. Offload the data, then rest.

          Executive dysfunction isn't laziness. It's your brain's 'start engine' being stuck in park while the rest of the world is in drive. You're not broken, just miswired for a linear world.

          It takes more energy to start a task than to finish it, and that's not a character flaw.

              I've suspected for a while, and my massage therapist has been sure for a couple of years.

              Like my diagnosis two years ago, this explains SO much.

              Including the frequent athletic injuries. And the nonstop back pain. The tennis elbow. The ankle sprains, inguinal ligament strains, neurocardiogenic syncope, costochondritis, premature ventricular contractions, memory problems....

                          I was and still am a "picky" eater. Everything plain, except for BBQ and cheese sauce. I've never eaten ketchup, mustard, or any of the condiments and sauces most people like, aside from when my order was wrong and I didn't check before I bit into my sandwich. Lesson learned.

                          One day, it hit me that it's probably unusual to have eaten like that for 40 years. I'd never thought much about it until after I was diagnosed.

                              😆 Thank you! The 8 year old in me feels so validated now! :blob_cat_heart:

                              In my school, homework was introduced in Grade 3. I found the very concept offensive. School was for schoolwork, home was for playtime. That's just the way things work. I mean I had already made the adjustment of even having to go to school just a few years before, but that was the trade off for learning, so that was o.k. But this was simply going too far! (Justice sensitivity, autistic dislike of change, or PDA? 😆 )

                              So I simply hid my homework when I got home from school so that my mother didn't know that I had any to do. This of course earned me a number of "Neglects Assignments" on my report card, along with low grades. My mother was not impressed.

                                  I have to dig up the energy to get things done a LOT of the time. So I try to do things in such a way that minimises having to do them a second time, or spend a second longer them that I need to.

                                  Then these pricks come along and just ignore the very, very simple requests I make of them, or somehow manage to fuck things up, even though what I ask is very straightforward. Because they don't think they're employed to care about the things that my job needs. They're employed to swings hammers, or fix machinery, or weld stuff, not ensure that they've done their safety training, or, y'know, look at the safety critical items they're about to use to ensure that they're still safe to use.

                                                        I am just speechless. The Orwellian wording of a ‘minimum wait’ of 2 years before the real clock even begins to even start ticking of getting a diagnosis for and is just spite.

                                                        It’s wrecking kid’s lives. Waiting lists have existed for years, but this is a period of being locked out before you are even on the waiting list.

                                                            Niin tyypillistä. Mun täytyy tänään palauttaa kirja, joka on ollut mulla puoli vuotta ja uusintakerrat täynnä. En ole edes avannut sitä.

                                                            Kirja on nimeltään "Aloittamista vaille täydellinen : ADHD työelämässä".
