@aaron_p_edwards@CatherineHume10 Ah, the same phrase he used to my post when he didn't have anything to actually say. I'm gathering from this post, and the fact that we're both strong women, is the reason why π He thinks we're both Jezebels as well, for having the audacity to call him out π€£
@aaron_p_edwards There is clearly no understanding at all about ADHD here - it's absolutely nothing to do with doing "normal childish things". It's a recognised disability that impacts on every single aspect of my ADULT life. How dare you minimise that. Do you do that with other disabilities?
@aaron_p_edwards Ironically, what was ACTUALLY causing my severe anxiety & depression was having an undiagnosed disability. And it stopped when I was put on the right medication by an expert in the field. Funny, that?! I wonder how many qualifications you have in psychiatry, coincidentally?
@aaron_p_edwards Wow. I had exercise, fresh air, constant new experiences, many hobbies, grew up before Smartphones existed, and an abundance of love & attention from my parents. No medication. Still had ADHD though π€π€·ββοΈ How you gonna explain that one then, eh?
@definingravity @PetulantWench I gather you don't get sensory
overwhelm in the supermarket, and have at your disposal the multitude of executive functioning skills required to do a weekly shop. You're lucky that this is baffling to you. Some of us out here are struggling with the basics, just FYI π«
The research team should have better awareness of this, because X now feels uncomfortably similar to watching tomatoes being thrown at Quasimodo... unintentially or not. #thismorning@thismorning
It seems to me that most of these callers have Sensory Avoidance issues, a common aspect of lots of Neurodivergent conditions, e.g. Autism & ADHD), and not phobias. The callers don't realise it's a sensory issue and phobias are the nearest match to how they feel... @thismorning
I think she's got a sensory texture issue with Ice Lolly sticks. She mentioned them making her feel sick! It's no different to people not eating mushrooms because of the texture... and Ice Lolly sticks give lots of people the same ick, I think you'll find! #thismorning
@LeedsCC_Help @PayByPhone_UK app isn't working to pay for parking after a last minute switch to services last night. Won't accept payment method, like many others are reporting. Please advise.
John is clearly missing the fact that Aaron has ADHD. A classic symptom of ADHD is emotional disregulation, so this is not him being dramatic! Ironic seeing John's reaction tonight π€ #TheTraitors
@manairport please DM me. Need to amend parking booking M&GT2 for exit date, but booking says non-amendable. Your T&C's do not state the exit time is non-amendable and you have not provided an email address for contact. Overstay charge is unacceptable when it won't let us amend.
@BBCR1@gregjames At uni, I bent down to put something in the bin. I stood up too quickly and smacked my top of head the metal corner kitchen cupboard and concussed myself. A week later, I did exactly the same thing and concussed myself again π€¦ββοΈ #doubledisaster
@Kildareman2@daraobriain The test is whether they can ride an unknown horse - not whether they can or not showjump. It is modelled on the military and real life - in real life, it might not be your horse. They are testing whether they can get a horse to work with them
