@WhatTheADHD Really feeling this - no advice here, just compassion💔

[Beating around the Books (they/she) @SinaWrites]

@WhatTheADHD @PolarHabits Oh, I just remembered, it was cofounded by an ADHDer: @adhdjesse
Makes sense!

[Beating around the Books (they/she) @SinaWrites]

@WhatTheADHD @PolarHabits is a web app that doesn't reset when you miss a day - it just dips a little and shows you how quickly you can gain momentum back if you pick it up again. Have really liked it so far.

@WhatTheADHD Have to try this tonight!

[Beating around the Books (they/she) @SinaWrites]

Would love any tips on resources for this. Working on some guidelines to make our blog more accessible. (beyond camel case in hashtags and alt text for images)

[sydni | what in the ADHD? @WhatTheADHD]

Do you use a screen reader or have a disability that makes it challenging to consume digital content?

If so, what do you wish more people knew about accessibility and digital media?

I'm on a mission to make extremely accessible content for the ADHD blog I run. Anything helps!

[Beating around the Books (they/she) @SinaWrites]

Procrastinated on making those resolutions? So did I...
Plus, I'm late to share the post I wrote about realistic new year's resolutions for ADHDers & how to (maybe) stick to them.
Do you have any?

Don't read this if you're looking for a list of cliché ideas for 2023 resolutions.

@TheADHDadults @get_inflow Thank you!

[Beating around the Books (they/she) @SinaWrites]

@TheADHDadults Do you have a link to the study? Would really appreciate it. Preparing for a blog post about this for @get_inflow

[Beating around the Books (they/she) @SinaWrites]

@alexconnerbham Yup, it's a thing 😭 But you obviously don't have to use it and pay for the sugar pills... I only got homeopathy when bedridden with the flu as a child, got over it, subsequently needed antibiotics for a superinfection 🙄 What a waste of time.

Alexa, add this to my to-do list for next Christmas.

@StructuredSucc This almost exactly describes me! Just add random finger flexing and piano hands to crab hands. (and usually only turning in semi circles)

[Beating around the Books (they/she) @SinaWrites]

This is for an article I'm working on😊
Would love it if you responded and shared.

@outerspace_girl Warum können Neurotypische sich denn nicht "einfach mehr bemühen", direktes Feedback sinnvoll und konstruktiv zu geben (und anzunehmen)? Würde viel Grübelei ersparen.

[Beating around the Books (they/she) @SinaWrites]

@WhatTheADHD Strong reader, but she needs to learn not to rush ahead when reading and have patience with other students when it's not her turn.

(they took so excruciatingly long! 😫)

[Beating around the Books (they/she) @SinaWrites]

@ivan007 @ADHDnMe @get_inflow Full disclosure: I'm a freelance writer and write for their blog.
Just wanted to mention that they do indeed send warnings before the free trial expires and also refund you if you missed the cancellation period in spite of the reminder.

[Beating around the Books (they/she) @SinaWrites]

@get_inflow Ticked off 7

[Beating around the Books (they/she) @SinaWrites]

@WhatTheADHD I'm so sorry! Sending you lots of love.

Die Grenzen des Denk- und Sagbaren gegenüber Risikogruppen sind in den letzten 2 Jahren so massiv verschoben worden. Es scheint inzwischen normal, von ihnen zu verlangen, sich selbst aus der Gesellschaft zu entfernen oder schlimmstenfalls Infektionen mit Todesfolge zu riskieren.

[marlies  @outerspace_girl]

Menschen mit Behinderungen, chron. Erkrankungen & deren Familien kennen Ableismus, Exklusion & Marginalisierung. Aber das Ende des Pandemiemanagements lässt das alles so viel intensiver & absoluter werden, dass ich gar nicht mehr weiß, wie man diese Mauern je wieder abbauen soll.

[Structured Success @StructuredSucc]

One of the cruel ironies of ADHD is that even though we often struggle just to start tasks we want to do or are important to us,

We ALSO struggle to not get entirely overwhelmed impulsively starting projects.
