#neurodiversesquad Twitter - does anyone know of an app or something you can have for when you're in "overwhelm mode" when you just can't cope with one more *thing* and need to block news sites/notifications etc?

@3TrackMind79 Not at all!

[adhdstation @adhdstation]

@3TrackMind79 One - but I made myself wait a few years after I'd decided on it & the location.
Then I made myself wait at least a year before I got another. That was 13 years ago (!) I wanted another straight away, but since with my rules not stuck on another design long enough to get it.

@likecrazypaving For me, the most amazing thing was all those things I thought I was a failure for had a reason, a cause. It's just a slightly different brain. Now I can work with it.
I've been blogging about the journey since diagnoses here https://t.co/ZE0efQyEjZ with some tips & such

I'm not sure if other #neurodiversesquad have found that Meltdowns are happening more frequently in this lockdown Covid time?

Always forgetting things? Desk having a mug party? Did you take your tablet already? "30min" of Animal Crossing turn into 4 hours?
I've pulled together some "ADHD hacks" I've found useful #adhdtwitter https://t.co/hXiEN1dgrw

[adhdstation @adhdstation]

@sarahlongthorne Long instructions - I just can't do it. If the instructions is a whole book, small text, etc. then I "nope" out.
I've found I like open games, where there are a lot of different play styles or options. E.g. open world, deck building etc. Where there isn't a "right way to win"

[adhdstation @adhdstation]

ADHD and stigma. Why is there a stigma attached to ADHD? Why do some people think it's not a *real* condition? How can we change this perception? https://t.co/6eocrvqoK2

Hey there #neurodiverse twitter. Thinking of positives to our wonderful brains. What do you consider your #Superpower that has been made possible due to your diversity? 💪🦸‍♀️🦹‍♂️

[adhdstation @adhdstation]

@loudlysilent Stop comparing yourself to your peers/others. Everyone does things at their own speed with their own priorities. So what if someone years younger than you is "more successful" - by what metric?
That, and don't listen to job criteria. Apply anyway. "transferable skills"

[adhdstation @adhdstation]

@ADHDelaide Totally! I feel that my RSD is so much worse at the moment during the pandemic too. Hard to explain why i'm crying suddenly. And no, I am not going to "toughen up"
I actually just wrote about this this morning https://t.co/qBgOMcfSEk

[adhdstation @adhdstation]

"are you made at me"- a question I ask my other half too much.
The reason? You can read about it here https://t.co/qBgOMcxu2U
