@ADHDdesigner @neurodivergen13 @AdultingADHD I recently did a rewatch of Buffy too! Really so good to rewatch. If you're into podcasts, 2 women host one called "Buffering the Vampire Slayer" and they go through ep by ep rewatching and critiquing/recapping. So, so good!

@MyGlitteryBrain You're not alone. Thanks for saying this, I hesitate to really get into convos even here because I struggle not knowing the norms of #adhdtwitter. And, even more - I think the way we struggle to react and socialise has really started to define what I think about myself.

[Meredith @ko7]

@ABCsofADHD Come prepared to advocate for yourself. Most of the diagnostics were created off of hyperactive behavior of boys/men. In general, ADHD is really misunderstood. Doctors can be under-educated about ADHD in womxn, and dismissive. Don't give up.

@ruthgibson35 @ABCsofADHD For real. Step 0.

[Meredith @ko7]

@AdultingADHD I'm sorry 💛

[Meredith @ko7]

@StructuredSucc I ask "what kind of friend do you need right now?" instead of doing what I would want or talking about my experiences.

[Meredith @ko7]

@AdultingADHD That's exactly how I describe me discovering/self-diagnosing - life changing.

[Meredith @ko7]

@maybeADHdee @ADHDdesigner Yes!! I never realized that was me getting energy out without being visibly hyperactive.

[Meredith @ko7]

@ADHDdesigner Repeated hand fidgeting (stimming?) while in jacket pockets. Biting inside of mouth. Scrunching and un-scrunching my toes. Like.

[Meredith @ko7]

@ADHDdesigner FIDGETING. I never thought I fidgeted. Except, I realized it was bouncing my foot, twirling my hair, picking at my face.

[Meredith @ko7]

@ADHDdesigner Impulsivity. Oh, like, me getting bored after I had figured out how the norms of a certain situation, and always wanting to move on? Like when I decided after grad school I was going to move to Korea (nothing related to degree) and was literally there within 2 months.

[Meredith @ko7]

@mydyspraxia @Finnattentive @AdultingADHD Yes!! I'm in how do I get in

[Meredith @ko7]

@shiraisinspired Same (when I remember 🙃)

[Meredith @ko7]

@mr_adkins951 @AskADHD Yea, I do :) I used to think I was so cool that I could listen to other people/conversations at parties. Now I just wish it would stop haha

[Meredith @ko7]

@nyktomorphia @SNeurotypicals Thank you I love this fact but also how does a leopard resemble a lion I think we know better now.

[Meredith @ko7]

@MyGlitteryBrain Anddd I've followed you just seeing this one tweet, haha. I've had insomnia bad since I was 22, and as a kid I struggled with sleep as well. It's really one of the worst aspects of adhd for me. I can't fall asleep, and toss and turn when I do.

[Meredith @ko7]

@ADHDdesigner I can definitely see that side of the coin, too! I've felt that way about friend's (everyone's) birthdays
