Eddie has undiagnosed ADHD. The reason he still hasn’t graduated school is because of his inability to focus and prioritize. He has zero organizational skills and was often in trouble for being rowdy in class. Reading is difficult for him because he’s easily distracted and becomes frustrated with the task. His uncle used to tell him as a kid that he would “leave his head on the bus if it wasn’t attached” because he often forgot where he put things. He often suffers from anxiety over not being able to do the things required or expected of him and turns to weed in order to deal with that. Since his parents were absent and his uncle wasn’t exactly paternal in nature, Eddie never saw a counselor to learn coping skills.

|| *emerges from coffin* I thought I'd be out of my obsessive cycles with my meds and yet here I am. Totally obsessing over Fever Dream by Palaye Royale. I can't listen to anything else and it's been FIVE DAYS. I CAN'T FOCUS ON WORK BECAUSE I WANT TO LISTEN TO THE ALBUM, IF I LISTEN TO THE ALBUM I CAN ONLY PAY ATTENTION TO REMINGTON'S VOICE. GODS THRICE CURSE THIS.
I think atomoxetine either doesn't help or I need a bigger dose. 😐

Man trying to personally build and maintain a work ethic and discipline with ADHD is freaking impossible
Like my two options are to either get a job evert few months that forces me onto a random damaging work ethic that doesn't work with my ADHD so quiting over and over and over when it exhausts me till i reach my breaking point and try to jump off the window again and again and again
Or the preferred option for anyone that has ADHD is starting your own business and trying you hardest to build a stable work ethic that works WITH your disability and then FORCING yourself to adhere to it which of fucking course doesn't fare well with the ADHD ...
Starting somthing a sitting down is the worst but i realized that starting on a small thing and finishing it brings in more motivation to make bigger things but also the extreme focus and 100 thoughts bouncing around in my head while being forced by ADHD to use every muscle in my body to concentrate is exhasting and makes strating work again the next day the worst thing in the universe (thus making me fall into a loop of executive dysfunction) cause i always end up with mucles that are sore and mean a headache and my brain DOES NOT AND WILL NOT willingly go into that again gaaah this is exhausting and scary

Saw a thread on Twitter of "gifts to give a person with ADHD and autism" that was full of stereotypical and quite frankly patronizing items, so here's a list of I (autistic individual) want instead as a gift
Money
Fourteen billion dollars
Free coupon to kill somebody with my teeth
Suitcase full of money
Cool looking rock
Scratching post for me to sink my claws into
An albino elephant
The head of Jeff Bezos mounted on my wall
Uncooked rice
A cup full of blood
100k in cash

we’ve made autism into a small insignificant personality trait/identity like being queer and that’s actually so fucking wrong and insulting
37.9% of autistics have an intellectual disability
1/3rd of autistics are completely nonspeaking
most autistics will not be able to hold a job, go to college, or live on their own
autism rarely travels alone and has many medical comorbidities like epilepsy, mitochondrial disorders, and genetic disorders (which are the most common comorbidities - these aren’t rare complications.)
we can have discussions about autism and ableism and how society sees us without spreading misinformation.
autism is a lifelong, often debilitating neurodevelopmental and genetic disorder that affects how one communicates and interacts with the world. it is not “just being socially awkward” or feeling nervous in social situations. it is a neurological disability. start treating it like one.

• Fidgeting and stuttering do NOT always indicate that someone is nervous.
• Avoiding eye contact does NOT always mean someone is lying.
• Having a hard time focusing does NOT always mean someone is lazy.
• Carrying around a stuffed animal or blanket does NOT make someone childish.
• Poor motor skills is NOT a direct indication of intelligence.
Not everyone fits into your box. Deal with it.

There's a mistake I see a lot of people in the mental health community make and in all honesty, it's one I've made myself. But I think we should really work on it. And that's saying "if this were a physical illness, wouldn't you care?"
I've learned that no actually, people wouldn't care. Katelyn Weinstein (theADHDprincess on Twitter) is a neurodiversity acceptance activist who really put this in perspective for me. She said that it's actually more an issue of longevity than physical vs mental health.
If you're having a bad day people will generally be understanding. But when you're experiencing chronic depression and you have many bad days people lose sympathy.
In the same respect people may be understanding when you've broken a bone that will heal properly or when you have a cold that will go away soon in ways they simply won't understand when you have chronic pain or need to use a wheelchair. They may send chicken soup for a temporary situation, but when you need consistent accomodations it's an entirely different story.
I understand that from our perspective it looks like people care more about physical health than mental health, but it's good to remember that our own perspective is also limiting. Facing ableism doesn't mean you can't be ableist. And I know so many people are not ill-intentioned when they say this. I know I wasn't. But we can't discount the lived experiences of physically disabled people. If we want true equality we need to be united and we need to listen to those with physical disabilities and illnesses. And those with physical disabilities and illnesses (some of which are also invisible) have said that they are not given proper accomodations either.
So let's be united and fight for equality and accomodations for everyone, no matter what their illness or disability may be.

@nutmegan17 on tiktoks eating tray hack
By keeping a tray full of no prepare necessary food, in the fridge it can be used to aid neurodivergent or fatigued people.
By putting food like, cheese and crackers, or whatever is a safe food for you personally on the tray, it can be taken easily to the couch or bed to be eaten from whenever you are hungry.
This prevents executive dysfunction or fatigue and any reason preventing you from eating. You need to care of yourself because everyone needs food to stay alive including you.
You deserve to eat even when on a bad brain day and are unable to prepare a meal for yourself.
If not having a full meal doesn't satisfy you, a snack may even give you the energy to make a full meal afterwards!

“Don’t let your disorder define you”
Okay but do you support the people whose disorders do define them?
Do you support people with the chronic illnesses who have had to develop whole lives around their conditions? Do you support the intellectually disabled people whose whole way of thinking is defined by their disorder? Do you support the people with personality disorders who literally have a disorder as a personality? Do you support the autism/ADHD people whose disorder you can’t separate from who they are? Do you support the DIDOSDD people who have multiple definitions of themselves because of their disorder?
Or are you just saying that because a disorder defining someone means you can’t ignore it.

It's always infuriated me hearing people say that children have it easy. It's only gotten worse as I've gotten older and have been able to reflect on my childhood and see the children around me grow up.
They do not have it easy. They don't get a say in most important things. They're seen is unintelligent, yet expected to understand things that full grown adults struggle with.
They've got a job, which is school, that is actually proven to not be working for a lot of them; myself included. They're expected to sit still and in silence for at least forty minutes at a time, and those with ADHD are treated as though they're immature and lazy because they often physically can't do it.
Far too many of them have abusive parents that lie through their teeth to make people think everything is fine, and of course, who would believe the child over the parent?
Aspects of abuse has been normalised. Parents are sympathised with when children open up about the things they've gone through, especially if they're not physical. They're told that their parents are only doing this because they love them, or that the child needs to start seeing things from their point of view. Meanwhile, adults can freely complain about their children on public forums and to friends and family and get away with it because "it's hard being a parent".
Fuck off and do better.
DNI Believers of narcissistic/borderline/anti-social/histrionic abuse.

Nah but let’s talk abt how ppl use disability terms/harmful stereotypes/ derogatory words so casually this disabled pride month (tw ableism below)
The new terms are “sch*zoposting” and “delulu” but shit like this has been around for years and it’s so incredibly frustrating.
Another example is those TikTok POVS about “the weird kid in class” but they are all stereotypes of autistic ppl.
Or the misuse of the word triggered, the misuse of the word OCD, the misuse of gaslighting, of cr*pple, “are you deaf?” “Are you blind?” “Hellen Keller isn’t real.” I could go on and on but I will simply say this.
Disabled people are real people with feelings, emotions and lives. We deserve to use the terms that we need to COMFORTABLY. We deserve to exist without people taking the language used in the context of ourselves and putting it in a negative light.
We deserve to exist.
We deserve happiness.
Check in on your disabled friends.
Don’t assume things about people you don’t know.
