First day on meds. Let’s see if I can focus at work 🤞🏻#ADHD
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/
Now there is a Sidekick, who’s pitch is that it’s a “productivity browser”. Today it's launching a host of features geared to ADHD sufferers and the attention distracted more generally. Sidekick was a 2020 Y Combinator cohort member , and in March 2021 they raised $2M in a round led by Kleiner Perkins.

The different ways I work as a software engineer with ADHD: - Do nothing all day. - Work sporadically throughout the day with random spurts of energy. - Do all the work for the week in one hour, usually around 5pm.mewtru •ᴗ• (@trunarla)Fri, 03 Mar 2023 18:52 GMT
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 🙃
Seeing swathes of people suggest that “ADHD is made up” is wild. Try living in the brain of a person that has ADHD, you wouldn’t last a minute.

I'm slowly changing my attitude from: "I should be able to do work I don't find interesting" To: "I am not able to do work I don't find interesting" A small change but it feels important, enabled by gradually processing my diagnosis of #ADHDCiaran McNulty (@CiaranMcNulty)Fri, 24 Feb 2023 10:06 GMT
oops tonight was my ADHD support group, guess I forgot about it again

I've finally, after years of putting it off, paid to have myself assessed for ADHD. It'll be nice finally knowing if there is a reason I struggle so much with some things or if this is just how everyone feels all the time. #adhd
ADHD is the most poorly-named affliction ever. like hi do you have a profound physical inability to accomplish your goals specifically because they're your goals and also the thought of your friends not liking you makes you want to die? you may have Trouble Sitting Still Disorder

Mom and I chatting and in true ADHD family style we have at least two distinct and coherent conversation threads intermingling in the chat box bound by mere earthly concepts of causation and coherence.
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!
I used to think my ADHD symptoms were getting worse, but now I think I’ve just stopped masking.

RT @TheADHDadults #AdultADHD isn't trendy. It's been criminally underdiagnised for years. The reason it appears that famous celebrities are all coming out as ADHD is because they are the only ones being reported about. 1 in 40 of everyone you have met is #ADHD. So 1 in 40 comedians are too!
One of the most common symptoms of ADHD is hiding yourself, making yourself small and quiet. When we’re young, we learn that our intense ADHD feelings alienate us from others, so shutting down our feelings in order to manage becomes a very logical coping mechanism.ADHD Designer (@ADHDdesigner)Tue, 24 Jan 2023 18:25 GMT
Getting an ADHD diagnosis and medication is like someone took a list of ADHD symptoms and built a very specific obstacle course.

The autistic/ADHD desperation to hold a thought until you can action it or write it down, because if you stop thinking about it for even a *second*, it may vanish, never to return.

Unfortunately, a task that is “easy” or “simple” or even “super important” is not the same as “something I can convince my ADHD brain to do.”

Writing notes to help remember things, but then forgetting to check the notes. #stupidadhdthingsDanny (@ABCsofADHD)Fri, 18 Dec 2020 01:22 GMT
ADHD = standing in the kitchen, wondering why.

ADHD is procrastinating my entire hierarchy of needs.
ADHD Jesse (@adhdjesse)Thu, 19 Jan 2023 03:24 GMT
ADHD is struggling to remember what’s on your to do list all day, but then not being able to stop thinking about what’s on your to do list while you’re trying to fall asleep.

Having a classic ADHD day. Can't decide what to do of many options, so I'm doing nothing instead.

When you have ADHD you never quite know what's going to interest you next. Right now it's trying to get enough sleep.

It’s shocking how many Autists and ADHD’ers have Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD)! Perhaps we are so used to being criticised for our differences, entirely blamed for mutual communication challenges, and told we have done something wrong, that we just come to expect rejection?

If you sent me a message and I never responded, Just know that I stress about it every single day because I haven’t figured out how to respond so I feel immense guilt every time I see that unanswered message… OR I’ve forgotten that your message (and you) even exist.ADHD Jesse (@adhdjesse)Sat, 29 Oct 2022 06:07 +0000

Does the tech industry thrive on free work? (6 mins read).
Thinking about how there are subtle expectations to work on your career outside of tech, and how it's not necessarily great.
RT @bitshiftmaskHalf of working with ADHD brain is toggling between: * "Imagine how much I could do if I could keep focus on one thing (of my choosing) for more than an hour", and * "It's not reasonable to think that I can sustain hyperfocus on arbitrary things without unhealthy motivators"Carol ⭐️ (@CarolSaysThings)Fri, 21 Oct 2022 06:50 +0000
