@emily_tweets Every report card in elementary school had some version of “average student but could do better if he applied himself” written in the comments section.

Neurodivergent? In my day we called it “a pleasure to have in class but easily distracted.”

@AshleyAlready Seeing a couple tablets left in the bottle is like an automatic trigger to reach out to my doctor to send in the refill request so I don’t end up exactly like this lol.

Me: Can you check to see if it’s time for a refill on my ADHD meds? Dr: Oh wow, yeah, overdue by almost two months. What have you been doing instead? Me: Just fucking things up like it’s my full-time job, for the most part.

@suchnerve Sometimes my Ritalin has that effect and sometimes I want to ignore people and laser focus on work, so ….

Adderall kicks in and suddenly I remember I like people

@Lottie_Poppie Same! Anything more and just text me the list so I have it in front of me. ADHD is wild like that!

@Lottie_Poppie Haha. “I swear I’m paying attention but if you have to give me to get more than a couple things from the grocery store, just write it down” haha

@Lottie_Poppie Hard to remember all the things when you have “goldfish memory” of maybe 7 seconds haha!

@KeruboSk If I had a dollar for every time I heard a version of this growing up, before I was diagnosed, I’d be rich!

"just lock in" bro i have ADHD i am locked out with the keys inside

@ADHDMemess Definitely peaceful, though there are times I don’t like being alone with my thoughts because anxiety!

@EmbraceAutism__ Google Tasks has been a lifesaver for me, for paying bills on time, taking medications, remembering to make a call or send an email…

Simple things I will write down in a notepad. Events I will put in my calendar or set an alarm; I set frequent alarms in my phone as reminders for various things, like meetings, a person I need to email, or an auction I want to bid on right before the end.

Reality comprises the objective and subjective world; the things in our mind have a subjective/mental reality. As for how I remember and keep things organized, I find it helpful to outsource my thoughts by writing them down or arranging them in a spreadsheet.

@ADHDMemess And sometimes not even that…

@ADHDForReal Hardest part is trying to explain that to my neurotypical wife! From the outside, it just looks like laziness.

@recovery_your Late diagnosed AuDHD, ADHD at 39, autism a couple years later.

A space for survivors. For healing. For hope. For radical empathy. Let’s build something beautiful. Who’s in? 💙

@kerionmywayward Yeah, it was a bit of a trip to hear it, but looking back, it makes so much sense.

@kerionmywayward Unmedicated and undiagnosed for 39 years here 🙋🏻‍♂️

@mclovenxoxo Story of my life - so many half assed projects all around the house!

having adhd is when you kind of found the motivation to do something but you can’t find the things you need to do it so you wander around looking furiously through ur shit and then you get too frustrated and give up

@scretladyspider The meds I’m on now make me feel more “normal” then I’ve ever felt before.

Raise your hand if ADHD meds and/or SSRIs saved your life 🙋🏻‍♀️

@DuchessSexpert All. Day. Long. Then the amount of times I recreate the conversation in my head to look for clues of whatever it is I said that supposedly made the other person annoyed, or at least from my perspective.

@DuchessSexpert ***buys all the scratch off tickets*** lol.
