ADHD: puts off doing small but necessary tasks for weeks on end because they just seem too haaaaaaard
also ADHD: drops everything and
spends 14 hours straight doing 150% of an unnecessary and highly- involved task that no one asked for without taking a single break to eat or pee
Gotta love when neurotypicals reply to an ADHD meme post saying "everyone does this!!!"
No, Karen, no they don't. You need to visit a doctor if you're forgetting where you put your phone when you get up to go to the bathroom, every time you go to the bathroom.
@Norgoroth imagine going to a community about a disability and making fun of that disability and completely show that you have no clue what you're talking about...🙄douche canoe.
Random question for anyone interested, has anyone read or heard about the hunter-gatherer theory regarding ADHD traits? Recently stumbled upon it and read some into it and it's rather pretty interesting.
Grrr...I hate how I can info dump so much that someone who seems "interested" in the topic, won't even read it because it's the length of 2 paragraphs, but I forgot to line break somewhere in the middle.🤦♂️
The words “disability” and “disorder” are disingenuous because they place the onus and burden on the individual.
But on the individual is not where the disability or disorder lie. A disability or disorder doesn’t exist outside a culture that foments them. Change the culture, society, or environment, and the disability or disorder goes away.
History is full of this having happened already: being left-handed, having poor eyesight, being homosexual, etc. was all once considered disabilities or disorders.
In the future I expect and hope the same to be true for neurodivergence (ADHD, autism), being transgender, etc.
“In forty years of medical practice, I have found only two types of non-pharmaceutical 'therapy' to be vitally important for patients with chronic neurological diseases: music and gardens.”
My problem is, I am a guy who likes the idea of doing so many things, but in reality only has the energy or motivation to want about doing those things rather than actually doing them.😩
I'm nostalgia, which is possibly my favorite feeling in the world. I am from and live in Mexico, but I'm also very fond of Chile, hence my username.
I make #analogcollage as a hobby, and sometimes #zine. I have two dogs who are mutts themselves, one of them is Chicle, my corgi pitbull mix boy. I'll be posting a lot of these three.
Wish I could beam this into every persons head ( lemmy.world )
