Neurodivergent PSA - A person **cannot**, by definition, be **neurodiverse**.

For those of us whose senses work a little bit differently, the touch, or the feel, or smell of something can be a really big deal.

Yet we’re often expected to deal with it or ignore it when it’s simply inconvenient.

Yeah...this is me with like... everything.

A tired-looking cartoon character stands with a blank, unmotivated expression. Their eyelids are half-closed, mouth slightly open, and their posture droops with exhaustion or frustration. They’re wearing round glasses and an orange t-shirt.

Above their head are three thought bubbles, each expressing internal pressure:
“I have to do this thing”
“I should do this thing”
“I could do this thing”

Below those, in a speech bubble, the character simply says:
“I’m not doing the thing”

The image uses simple, soft-toned cartoon art to illustrate the mental tug-of-war common with ADHD — where intentions are overwhelmed by executive dysfunction. It captures the exhausting loop of knowing what needs to be done, wanting to do it, and still being unable to act, all with deadpan humor and sharp relatability.

Whatever is going on, you have the power to figure out yourself and to figure out solutions that work for you.

I'll look at them some day, okay?!?

A man with a mustache is lying on the ground, smiling with wide eyes and holding up a phone in both hands. He looks overly excited and pleased, like he’s just seen something delightful on the screen. He’s wearing a navy blue T-shirt and a lanyard around his neck, and his expression is exaggeratedly joyful.

Above him, in large bold text, it says:
“ADHD people screenshotting and bookmarking everything because they’re afraid of losing ideas only to never look at them again because the archive is now its own overwhelming problem:”

The whole composition uses the man’s giddy reaction to contrast the reality of feeling overwhelmed by digital clutter, turning it into a moment of ironic humor.

This is also by fear that you abort diagnosis and push people to ill-being and suicide.

Fight the state. Fight the corporations. Fight the ableism. Learn about neurodiversity.

Good afternoon, professor.

I would like to request a small extension for my assessment.

Unfortunately I completely forgot that I have adhd, and as such I drank a large McDonald's coffee biscoff frappe this morning. I now feel as though I could vibrate into the next dimension with anxiety.

You might be wondering how someone "forgets" that they have adhd? Well... it's the adhd.

Thank you for your understanding,
Aby.

PS: I can definitely recommend the McDonald's coffee biscoff frappe, but probably hold the ritalin chaser..

With this The Guardian reports, "the NIH (under RFK Jr) is reportedly crafting a new registry to track those with #autism." This is highly concerning.

I remember in the 90s thinking all I want is to be a positive in the world. To be more good than bad. I'm pretty sure I have achieved that with my activism compared to my consumption. - That is I think I have reduced CO2e significantly below my own emissions. I also work in healthcare. I work numerous days a week helping people. I donate to global charities.
I don't feel very positive.

I hate the days where the adhd is turned up to 11 and even overrides the ritalin..

One of my fave ADHD tips: if something will take less than two minutes* to complete, do it right away.

I've been putting off the task of adding a hook for my car charger for ever, yet it took about a minute to do. I'd left the hook out as a prompt recently, so when I was clearing the table and saw it I just went out and did it.

What are your favourite ADHD tips?

* obviously time blindness is a limiting factor, but hopefully something this small isn't too bad.

Just finished reading #Pygmalion and am wondering who finds Henry Higgins to be some variation of neurospicy. It explains a lot of his behavior, I think, though Shaw himself (in intro and afterword) writes off his behaviour in other ways. Higgins is also a confirmed bachelor and not gay. He'd fall in the ace/aro category of written now.

Thoughts?

I can mask and be outgoing and funny at work or ignore everyone. ignoring everyone is the real me.
