I've been getting a lot of questions lately about whether symptom X or behavior Y is a sign of ADHD. I don't like answering this question, everyone is different.

However, I would like to link to this comprehensive self-test, which I think is very successful

German 🇩🇪:
adxs.org/de/test/symptom-v5

English 🇬🇧
adxs.org/en/test/symptom-v5
(Thanks @Jay16K for the hint)

Note: You'll need an account on the website to access the test.

sometimes i break up longer, intense podcasts by watching a short. [ #adhdbrain 😂]

this one is about #apartheidisrael - from the apathy to the psychopathy.

the longer podcast i posted to my Linktree. it's two ethnically Arab Australians talking about the genocide. And if you can imagine it, they speak of compassion for Israelis, as well as for Palestinians. what a lesson in humanity that is.

Nei prossimi giorni devo avere a che fare con una persona che odio.
Sessista, machista mansplainer e incel.
Fortunatamente non saremo soli.
Come fare? Io provo ad ignorarlo ma poi fa delle battute e da ex stand up comedian intervengo sempre con la battuta arrogante e minacciosa che rovina il Mood.
E ovviamente passo io per quella rompipalle femminista che in realtà sono fiera di essere.
Cercasi modo per non essere impulsivi 🥹

as a neurodivergent person, i often fail to realise that i tend to come across as rude or angry when I'm not paying attention to how i speak. and when i don't speak a language too well or when I'm out of practice, I'm especially prone to make mistakes with my tone.

for example i just asked the guy at the tea shop (in Tamil) "is this strong tea?" when he gave it to me. technically, it shouldn't sound like I'm angry or anything (and I'm not) but in the way Tamil is spoken, this basically translates to "is this even strong tea, you idiot?" and that was really not what i intended to say!

Me: Okay, brain, come on, I know you've got a block but you have to do this.

Brain:

Me: Look, what do you need?

Brain: you know what works.

Me: No I don'—wait, you don't mean.

Brain:

Me: I'm getting too old for this

Brain:

Me: I'm trying so hard to keep weight off.

Me:

Brain: Look do you want this done or not?

Me: OKAY FINE I'LL GO FIND SOMETHING WITH FROSTING, HAPPY?!?!?

Brain: Alright, let's get to this . . .
