Sirius: Have you ever felt like your entire personality is annoying and decided to change everything about yourself but then gotten distracted and gone straight back to how you always were?

James: I have ADHD. That is literally my entire life.

Sure, a lotta people have what’s depicted on the right with their besties, but I’m tellin’ you - this is how I am with EVERYONE.

Disclaimers (because some of y’all just like to fight):

1. This is a cartoon, not a research paper. Generalization and exaggeration have been employed and are allowed, so please save your “Not All…” energies for something else.

2. I have used ND as a shorthand for autistic/ADHD, and NT as shorthand for NOT autistic/ADHD, which is popular but technically improper usage. MANY other things count as neurodivergence, which makes neuronormative a more accurate term to use when referring to people who “don’t get” a particular flavor of neurodivergence. I only have so much room in these little boxes though, so I hope you’ll forgive me for working with what I got.

3. I didn't pull this outta nowhere. Friendship Degradation Mechanics are a thing, and other autistics and ADHDers have written about why we don't experience them the same way NTs seem to. Go googling if you want to know more.

ADHD Study Tips

Novel Spaces

One of the biggest things that aids me in studying is a change of scenery. Although, many people suggest having a dedicated workspace for homework and studying. That isn’t the case for me because of my ADHD I need new novel spaces. Therefore I’ve created a few spaces within my home. Solely, because a lot of spaces such as cafe’s have too many distractions such as: customers in and out, constant changing noises, and unfamiliarity.

As the mini adhd coach states the need for novel things is because it provides dopamine and fuels ADHD interest based brains. Oftentimes following the dopamine can be harmful however by creating novel spaces it makes following the dopamine useful and takes advantage of it. It’s a great motivator and it’s a lot of fun to change things up.

New situations are the most motivating for those with ADHD. Each place creates a new situation. And as soon as one becomes boring you can switch to another. I tend to move from my kitchen table to my bedroom set up.

Body Doubling

Another major thing that helps me focus is body doubling. Body doubling is when you have another person around doing some sort of task to help your brain focus better. For me I like to invite my coworkers who are in college over to body double or ask my boyfriend to body double with me. Additionally, body doubling is why I prefer to work at the kitchen table because my boyfriend can be cooking or cleaning while also acting as a body double.

Body doubling can also work in public spaces. When I went to college in person rather than online I achieved body doubling in the library. It’s also possible to virtually body double. I tend to do that with friends in discord. Study with me videos on YouTube have also helped with body doubling.

Reminders/Planners

Something else that helps but is often hit or miss with a lot of folks with ADHD is planners, reminders, calendars, etc. Some people forget about these lists of tasks as do I. However, I make it so obnoxious that I can’t and make sure it’s everywhere. I use a physical planner for almost everything from assignments, to-do’s, and due dates. I use my Google Calendar for major due dates as well as meetings and my work schedule. I then also use Momentum, a chrome extension for a to-do list. In addition to that I write out a schedule by the hour as well as a to-do list in order of priority.

Although mine is a bit excessive, I think having a physical as well as a digital is very helpful especially if the digital can send reminders.

Follow the Dopamine not the Priority

Despite the goal of getting things done in order of priority, sometimes it’s easier to start on the task that’ll get the dopamine flowing and get you into that flow state. More often than not doing that task and then the higher priority task is faster than sitting on the higher priority task for a lot longer because your brain simply doesn’t want to focus. Therefore, sometimes following the dopamine is the best option.

Create a Reward System

When studying for large bursts I tend to use my breaks as little reward periods. Usually because I’m studying with a coworker we devise the breaks in terms of assignment or when both of us are starting to zone out and get less productive. For us because our study sessions overlap meals we’ll do our rewards such as going and grabbing food or getting boba and things of that nature. Once it was a Target run to get supplies for a root beer float which was the following break.

Fidget

Find ways to fidget that allow you to remain focused simultaneously. I tend to like to bounce my feet or chew gum. However, depending on what you’re doing you can use putty, stress balls, fidget cubes, etc.

I think this helps with restlessness and remaining calm while doing homework. I’ve also found it helps me avoid getting too overwhelmed especially if I’m behind on tasks or have procrastinated.

Use Caffeine & Sugar but WISELY

I tend to use caffeine when studying. I’m currently not medicated due to other conditions. So I use caffeine to self-medicate in a way. For this to work though you have to find the sweet spot that doesn’t make you sleepy or overly anxious. So it tends to have to be sips that are tapering out the caffeine slowly.

Sometimes my ADHD makes me feel like a glitchy sim.

Brain: “You need to pee.”

Me: “No, I’m going to finish these tasks first.”

Brain: *Rapidly trying to clear tasks* “Please go to the bathroom you’re going to explode”

Me: *Continuing said tasks and ignoring the need to pee*

*45 minutes later*

Me: “Oh shit yeah I needed to pee and now I’m in physical pain because I need to pee so badly.”

Brain: *screaming*

I can't focus for shit in loud places because sensory overload and I can't focus for shit in quiet places because mind wanders. I have to have noise but it has to be noise that I specifically chose and approved. U get me?
