I wanted to bake something today because the weather was cool, but I couldn't remember the recipe, so I had to look it up, but the recipe book was packed, so I had to move a bunch of boxes to get to it, but while they were out of the way I decided to put the kitchen rug down, then as long as I was at it I unpacked some dishes, then I unpacked my cookbooks then decided to put them on the tea cart, then put every else back nicely & now the kitchen looks better but I'm too tired to bake.

The trend here is that nothing ever gets finished.

On the plus side, this means I'm not likely to finish you either.

Today. Was. Just. Too. Much.

Endless work meetings. Slack. Interruptions. HOA Committee Texts. School meetings. School district meetings. Music lesson.

At some point at about 3pm I just had enough. And when this happens I tend to leave chats. Cancel or ignore messages or meetings.

I have to for my sanity. I have learned that if I push on I truly burn out and am not useful for anyone.

Why does our society encourage this???

If you've ever wondered what it's like being autistic with ADHD, it's a bit like this for me. (I always assumed everybody thought like this).

Friends! Have you managed to lock yourself out of your house or apartment more than once this year? You need to buy one of these hanging key lockboxes. They sell for about $45 in the US. Set the code, put a spare set of keys inside, and lock it onto your doorknob. Yes, it's expensive but it's way cheaper and faster than a locksmith. I had to use it this morning and to not have that immediate sense of panic was amazing.

📋ADHDers love curating Reading Lists to stay on track.

🫣Going back to them, though, is another story.

Have you tried giving yourself little rewards when you check off read items from the list? Because they totally count as mini victories! 🥳

It's true that neurodivergent minds are energized and motivated when they set and execute goals, gain achievements, communicate, create, strategize, innovate, or serve and connect with people.

But the constant whirlwind of killer ideas and endless possibilities, without the reigns of process, structure, and execution, can get debilitating.

🧰 To help you crush those distractions, we've curated a list of helpful tools available for you to use on our browser.

Building systems and leveraging productivity tools can set you up for success and manage your scattered thoughts.

Our built-in Reading List is one such example, read the blog for more👇

Ever purchase something again because you swear you lost it and you swear you looked everywhere 5 times?

… only to buy it again and find the original a short time later?!

.. … that’s happened to me TWICE in the last month.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

This could be the connection between Ehlers-Danlos and neurodivergence. (People with EDS, like me, are 7 times as likely to be autistic and 5 times as likely to have ADHD -- also like me.)

and apparently my prescription is “delayed“. don’t know why, they didn’t answer the phone and I’m at work... not able to just come running. but maybe I have to. besides the , that is the medication keeping me upright and semi-functional while was eliminating the supplements and medications that make me sleep. Fml.

🦋 If you struggle with ADHD or have your focus constantly ruined by a whirlwind of thoughts, then you probably use productivity tools that can help crush those distractions and give you some peace of mind.

Me: you should probably do some stuff you need to do…

Also me: No, no, no, that can wait… what you really need to do is rebuild your keyboard again. You use it more for typing now… What about new switches? What about new keycaps? Do the research black hole… do it! 😂

The Norway #ADHD group on FB strikes me as people who are always looking for stuff. Drugs, treatment, easy ways out. They're not looking for key solutions, such as collaboration. I'm also not seeing much interest in a weekly ADHD conference call. Some of the paradox is that you're short-sighted, and thus unable to work with people on the long term.

I used to beat myself up over not finishing projects, until I learned that I have . My interests and motivation shift severely on a daily basis, which isn't really compatible with long term commitment.

I'm now trying to lean into it and enjoy the process of creation while putting less value in completion. Capitalistic society wants us to value the "finished product" above anything else - that doesn't mean I have to.

I know people with estrogen have said their ADHD gets worse during perimenopause/menopause, but I'm wondering if people with testosterone 50+ also notice their Autism/ADHD symptoms getting worse. Especially more "inattentive"/stuck in their thoughts.

I feel like we really need more research on all of this.

If you live in the UK and have ADHD, please take a look at Dr Dyi Dieuwertje Huijg's survey, "ADHD Women: Resisting a Neuronormative World."

Dyi has ADHD herself, and she's one of the few folks I've encountered researching ADHD with ADHD.

Please share with those who may be interested!

I read ADHD—A Lifelong Struggle today. It’s the best thing I’ve read on ADHD so far. Its advice is grounded in experience and applies to everyone: those who think ADHD is a crock or, worse, an excuse, those who suffer from it, and those who have family members or friends who suffer from it.
