Did you know fatigue is one of the most common symptoms of #ADHD? I didn't- I spent over ten years telling people I felt exhausted all of the time, and nobody connected the dots.

There's a few ADHD experiences tied to fatigue that many of us struggle with:

Wow, I LOVE thinking about neurotypicality as a disorder that needs accommodations too! Thank you @ADHDeeds, this perspective is so comforting. 💝

[Black Adder @ADHDeeds]

Saying anything longer than “Sure thing, just need a sec” triggers a whole NT reaction and more blurting and questions.
Starting to see see NT as it’s own disorder that I provide reasonable accommodations to.😬😂

[Black Adder @ADHDeeds]

Ok this tweet is about being rushed.
This weekend I slowed down an NT rusher-pusher that I know with a new method.
I first let them blurt their rush-niption while only half listening. Then I translated my need for transition time into NT.
“Ok, sure will, just need a second.”

If the DSM took the emotional aspect of ADHD as a core feature and not an afterthought maybe treatments could be more directed according to symtoms and not everyone treated with methylphenidate and given a pat in the back. Just a thought.

You don’t need to be drowning to warrant treatment for your ADHD. You deserve to live a life that’s not hard work 24/7.

People like me don't get diagnosed early because we 'appear' to be coping! Let's spread awareness of ADHD and especially those who suffer in silence because people think they're 'too successful to have ADHD!' 😢
