Everytime I hit a paywall on some respected journalism site and then simply don't read the article rather than subscrining, I think about how Fox, Breitbart, The Daily Mail, et al. never ever ever paywall their content. I think about this constantly.
HELP!
What is one experience you’ve had with sensory overload that made you say “Wait?! You can’t hear/see/smell/feel that?” to an ND?
Writing a portfolio of poems about the ADHD experience for my final yr of uni. Any suggestions welcome 🙏 ❤️

A friendly reminder for any ADHD’ers out there struggling in the middle of final exams; anything worth doing is worth doing poorly 💝
Have you used this technique/method of getting things done before?

@austinwithay@AskADHD Positives: slows my racing thoughts, calms my anxiety, helps me sleep at night, helps period pain etc.
Negatives: cost, it’s a slippery slope from self-medicating to abuse.
Newsflash to literally all major ADHD resources:
Children with ADHD grow up to be adults with ADHD.
We need MORE info on things like parenting with ADHD, employment with ADHD, and being a responsible adult with ADHD. And LESS info on 7-year-olds.
Sincerely, adults with ADHD
‘But you don’t understand,’ I said, ‘my whole life is like that.
I see something that I mean to do and then I don’t do it.
It’s not only trivial things like the cough drop; it’s big things, too.’”
One of the most profound things I read in my original journey to ADHD diagnosis was what Dr. Ned Hallowell calls “the cough drop sign” in the book, Driven To Distraction.
I’d never felt more seen before reading this quote.
It comes from one of Hallowell’s ADHD patients:
The ADHD urge to buy a thing, watch all the videos about the thing, religiously track shipping until the thing arrives, excitedly open the shipping box to get to the thing, and then place the thing somewhere random and forget about it for 6-60 months.
