Need to release my ADHD thoughts and findings. INFP, inattentive mild to moderate, 22yo black male He/Him 📣 I only follow back neurodiverse accounts

In the wake of a medication shortage, strategies and techniques to manage your #adhd become even more vital (and harder to implement, it’s a catch-22, I know!).

Here are some of my most foundational non-medication #ADHD management techniques:

There’s something incredibly dystopian about being able to talk to people from every corner of the world who all oppose this, but nobody in power doing anything to stop it. This isn’t how it’s meant to be. Why are we talking about an active genocide? WHY IS NOBODY STOPPING IT?!

@TheADHDKirsty Hmm okay, I’m trying to find out more about it as I find it difficult to understand how it manifests

[ADHD Jim @adhd_al]

Question: is there evidence saying emotional dysregulation is linked/correlated mostly with Hyperactive/combined types, rather than inattentive??

[ADHD Jim @adhd_al]

I’m 100% making sure my future baby names mean something important

[ADHD Jim @adhd_al]

Now I know to have my headphones on the whole time and limit how much I talk to my family if I fly with them lool. And also wait times for security and everything else is way shorter these days tbf

[ADHD Jim @adhd_al]

Ever since being diagnosed with ADHD, airports haven’t irritated me like they used to. When flying with family in the past I used to come off the plane PISSEDDD #ADHD

[ADHD Jim @adhd_al]

All the stimuli and constant agg from my parents with no music to listen to alongside all the waiting made airports one of the most draining places for me

[ADHD Jim @adhd_al]

@amyarchivist And I love it! People like this are so stimulating and more often than not interesting too

[ADHD Jim @adhd_al]

I met this girl at a party recently and we were instantly drawn to each other.
Spoke to her more during the party and she said she’s looking to get diagnosed for ADHD 😭

[ADHD Jim @adhd_al]

Anyone I’ve ever had a crush on almost always has adhd traits.

[ADHD Jim @adhd_al]

Our mutual friend told me she can be a bit intense but that made me like the idea of potentially dating her even more 😆

What I’ve learnt and recognised as a physio when treating chronic pain 💊. 🧵

[ADHD Jim @adhd_al]

Always, I’ve rarely seen a black person described as aggressive and it actually be accurate. Normally they just have a loud voice…

[Elk 🇯🇴 @ElkanahWilder]

Begging non-black people to realise how calling a Black person intimidating or scary or assuming they’re aggressive is just antiblackness

Whether it’s a microagression or expressed directly, it’s not devoid from racism

[ADHD Jim @adhd_al]

@ZoeYork_ Samee I’m horrendous at learning languages but I find it easy to pronounce really long names, like Sri Lankan names for example

[ADHD Jim @adhd_al]

I proper miss the people I used to talk to on here before I left for a year 😭 #adhdtwitter #ADHD

[ADHD Jim @adhd_al]

If you keep telling me I’m making excuses I simply just won’t talk to you anymore lol

[ADHD Jim @adhd_al]

This is the single one thing that has angered me my whole life

[Gwynne 🐇 @namekianprince]

Can a neurotypical person please explain their definition of a reason vs an excuse? Because I am genuinely confused.

When asked "why did you do it this way?", I'm going to explain my process to you, because you asked. But as I start talking you go "I don't want your excuses"?
