R. L.

Burn🔥🔥🔥🔥<p>Another interesting experience I've had with ADHD is that my mind seems to have the ability to quickly and effortlessly improvise, but an extremely poor memory.</p><p>From what I've heard, my autistic friends experience something close to the opposite. They get overwhelmed more easily, but their memories are immaculate.</p><p>I am not qualified to say whether or not this is a trend, but it's made me quite curious if we exist on opposite sides of a spectrum in some way.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/adhd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>adhd</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/autism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>autism</span></a></p>
Michael Porter<p><a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/ADHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ADHD</span></a> folks: Listening to the radio this morning, I heard, once again, how hyperfocus is a "superpower."</p><p>Is it, really? </p><p>Or is it just a combination of a *normal* level of concentration combined with time blindness? </p><p>When I compare those periods to the usual scatterbrained ones, yes, they are remarkable and rewarding... for me. But I've seen a lot of neurotypical people just get work done, taking an extended period of time if necessary, and it was the norm for them. I don't think they would consider my periods of productivity anything special, except in contrast to those periods where I can't get the simplest tasks done.</p><p>I'm not beating myself up here – I just like to frame things as they are, as opposed to wishful thinking.</p><p>What do you think?</p>

Rasta<p>So, let's get back on track? <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/ADHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ADHD</span></a> <br>I was mistaken for impaired one Sunday morning at 10am.<br>Police gave me a breathalyzer. I wasn't drinking, I was just being ME. If he'd asked me to walk a line, I'd also be in jail. I'd fall over. BUT, I'd love to have challenged him to match my skill on one foot?</p>
Becca<p>Second appt with the psychologist tomorrow as part of my <a href="https://kind.social/tags/ADHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ADHD</span></a> evaluation. But it all feels pretty hopeless. Even if I get a diagnosis I don’t see how it will help my shitty parenting, my lack of career direction, being completely run by my emotions. I can’t imagine that stimulants could fix any of that. It feels like I’m just waiting for the moment when my husband gets fed up and takes my son and leaves me to my ruined, crap life.</p>

And don’t rule out meds. When something incredibly difficult becomes doable just 20 minutes after the right dose, it’s unconscionable to make kids struggle purely in the name of Protestant Work Ethic.</p>
