UltraLutra<p>Me and my spouse both have ADHD. I'm diagnosed and they're not. We have many times talked about how ADHD is very lousy, shallow and kinda insulting definition of our condition. It feels a lot like capitalist labeling. </p><p>We don't have attention deficiency. To be honest our attention is over the top many times. It's just that our attention can't really be guided from the outside (and not necessarily from the inside either😀). </p><p>That's where the establishment needs to tell us we have deficiency. Malfunctioned pieces of the machine, struggling to focus on our duty to be guided through our lives as if it was a mere production line. </p><p>Although it does indeed have its downsides, I find it really hard to view this feature as a deficiency. More like an upgrade that needs to be shamed away.</p><p>So, as a conclusion in our home we don't use your stinking capitalistic-imperialist insult. We have our own name for it: the Double Or Nothing -condition. That's way more descriptive expression.</p><p>Doing the thing either engulfs completely or the thing doesn't get done at all and it's always a surprise which thing actually gets done and when. </p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/neurospicy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>neurospicy</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Neurodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Neurodiversity</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/ADHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ADHD</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/audhd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>audhd</span></a></p>

I am meeting some local strangers in 5 hours. The anxiety is coming in.
I can beat my #SocialAnxiety.
I will not bail.
I will show up.
I will be in a safe space.
I will enjoy learning to sing new songs with new people.
It will be another new fun activity to try out.
I am bigger than my anxiety monsters!
I can & will do this.
Autistic Coach There is no such thing as oversensitive. If something hurts you, it is irrelevant whether anyone else thinks it should have or not.

My brain is weird & I have learned to love my ND brain. It goes from thinking about cooking/eating noodles to how do you escape from digging a deep hole in the ground(not for burying dead people!) to how can I safely climb that tree to how can I cook an egg on flat metal surface in Winter, if I learn how to refract sunlight really well.
That is a small example of how my #AuDHD brain works.

Went to save this to my "read later" app.
Found that I already had it saved.
Couldn't find it in app.
Searched archive.
Found that I've already read it and have many highlights saved.
Sigh.
Thanks for the great piece!

Trans and proud.
Don't ask a #AuDHD creative artist like me to help decide what to wear, when you are 5 minutes from stage, because people like me would ask questions like:
- Can you bring 2 suitcases & put me into one of them?
- How many times are you willing to go to the bathroom for wardrobe changes?
- Do you have backup makeup because I only brought my 2 main palettes!
- Where are my noise cancelling headphones?!?
Pay me, in cash. Night's end. Got my cash. Didn't do any event for 2 months after.
Neat little man-made cave area in the gardens. A fab place to cool off from the hot sun. It's tucked in behind the waterfall.
That awkward feeling when you’re #AuDHD and the autistic side really wants to know something about a special interest but your ADHD forgets to look for the answer.
battle station.
I have awful ADHD and I always forget when I say I'll make a phone call. this setup has worked well enough for me to get through a couple days worth of calls.
first image: paper files. inbox, todo, outbox, scrap. following the excellent book Getting Things Done, "inbox" and "todo" are separate piles. The difference is this: any sort of Stuff goes in the inbox, but only Actions go in the todo. more on that later. also, Eggbug (and Junimo!) for moral support.
second image: a digital folder titled "Memo". it's a bunch of markdown text files. "@todo" works the same as the paper todo box, Actions only. "@log" is for me to take notes while I'm on the phone. "@when" is for me to keep track of anything that I need to follow up on, for instance if I want to follow up in a week, I would make an entry like "after 2025-08-01, call Mastercard again at (1-800-627-8372)." 1/
Is there a word that means "Autistic or ADHD or both/AuDHD"? Because more and more often I find myself wanting a word for that.
We don't know if autism and ADHD are two different expressions of the same thing, but given how often they co-occur it seems like there's something going on. I do like the idea that autism and ADHD both come from monotropism, but autism is where you stick with one focus for a long time and ADHD is where you switch focus from one thing to another frequently.
Anyway, it feels like autism and ADHD have a lot in common, and even if they don't come from the same genes or neurology, they still feel similar enough to deserve an umbrella term. And I'm really tired of using a bunch of words when a good word for both would be so much easier.

At optometrist. Waiting for doctor to analyze my eye test results.

J'ai écrit à une inconnue et à deux cousines, et je ne m'en remets pas. L'angoisse m'a coupé l'appétit 
C'est pas possible d'être anxieuse à ce point, alors que je suis sous anti-dépresseur en plus !
