I've not been around much because ✨Life Chaos™️✨, but yesterday the publication of an article and documentary by the BBC about a "journalist" faking ADHD to get a diagnosis has enraged me. I paid to go through a private diagnosis because my undiagnosed and untreated ADHD was destroying my life. The NHS kept rebuffing me and even if I did get referred, it would have taken years because of the chronic underfunding the NHS has received since 2010. #ADHD #BBC #Panorama

Hey - it’s #ADHDObsessionWednesday! I want to hear from my #adhd peeps: what’s your current obsession or passion? I’m still obsessed with #Mastodon, the #Fediverse, and the possibility of a better internet. So I added a bunch of #IndieWeb features to my new site. (I was gonna do this on Monday but… I got distracted & forgot 😆) https://whatwasidoingagain.com/adhd-asides/adhdobsessionwednesday/

Me too! Keeping in touch and keeping relationships going has been a hard one for me. Trying to work on it, but also making friends as an adult is harder 🙃

I definitely have this too - and wondering if it's auditory processing disorder - but I'll usually just interrupt the person with an "oh, sorry yeah (answer)" instead of waiting for them to repeat cause I don't wanna wait ����

I (ADHD) definitely unmasked over the pandemic and it became much more obvious before I got diagnosed

Plus visibility from people like you and my TikTok feed made it more visible!

Yep! Think some of it is also down to my (now diagnosed) #ADHD but also feeling unfulfilled at work due to things that were out of my control but massively impacting my ability to achieve anything
