You get more engagement if you attribute your memes subject to mental health.
That’s one way of looking at this if your mindset is negativity.
I prefer to exercise positive intent and I see this as possibly someone with ADHD not knowing whether this particular trait is their ADHD or just a thing.
I have ADHD and I am often like this, it makes you question your identity, especially if diagnosed later in life like me.
Sure many ADHD traits are occasionally experience by non-neurodivergent people, but that doesn’t mean they don’t affect ADHD people in a debilitating way.
It’s like heart palpations can be a sign of a heart attack or a panic attack.
Exactly.
They key is "occasionally" - for someone with ADHD these traits are pretty much constant, never go away. Medication and practice may reduce their impact, and you may find ways to mitigate/compensate, but the underlying trait is always there, waiting for you to become complacent.
A neurotypical person rarely understands how much effort is put in just for something mundane.
Wait, are you saying that reconciling my checking account while two unrelated trains of thought (accompanied by a random song) run through my head is not something that everyone deals with?^\s^
I was just posting about this in the last day or two, but my ADHD brain also likes to keep music or a conversation going in my head. And I always sought out talk to listen to, like podcasts. But I have found that the right sort of music is a great tool to help occupy the ADHD brain and let my conscious executive functions like, do stuff.
Fuck off
No I don’t think I will.
The fuck are you?! You either put across a point as to why you object to my comment or you go eat a bag of dicks.
