Wait what did I come into this thread for again? Oh yeah, ADHD!

Wait what did I come into this thread for again? Oh yeah, ADHD!

Hey all! I decided to kick start a sweet little space for us to gather and talk ADHD!!

You can read the Topic Tuesday discussion (at which I was a guest) here.

Some of my go to resources:

ADDitude - Online Magazine/resource for all things ADHD

Three Pillars - My preference for explaining the experience of ADHD without relying on the DSM-V (scroll to bottom and work your way up the list)

How to ADHD - A Youtube channel with tips, tricks, strategies, how to guides, life hacks, you name it

Russel Barkley - a world renowned psychiatrist who has been at the forefront of research into ADHD, its neurochemical markers, and its impacts on daily experience, particularly in regards to executive dysfunction. The link is to an hour-long video aimed at parents of kids with ADHD. He also has one for adults with ADHD (with actionable tips!).

This is a space to talk about your experiences, struggles, strategies, and just an all-round safe spot to be a big pile of chaotic energy right here!!

When took back my mobile phone account from the narcissist, [company name removed by moderator] wanted my title 😐 Why do companies insist upon titles?
A man’s title never changes regardless of the martial status, he is always a Mr.

A woman’s title is designated by wether or not she is married = Mrs or Miss with the option of Ms. I wonder when Ms originated?

In a society where we can be gender neutral and have marriage equality, why do companies and other organisations still use gender titles?

Re: Wait what did I come into this thread for again? Oh yeah, ADHD!

that was an interesting article about ADHD and hormones in The Conversation, @Glisten

and yet another piece of information that made me think "I wish I'd known that decades ago!"

In my 20s I remember realising that I was bad at parallel parking when I was premenstrual, which was probably because my ADHD (diagnosed in my mid 50s) and dyspraxia were worse while the progesterone levels were increasing.

now I'm post-menopausal, but looking back I probably had PMDD -- the severe depressive episodes and sui ideation started when I was 11, soon after my periods started.

hi @Glisten and hi everyone @Jynx @Shaz51 @Neuro_Spicy @ArraDreaming @AFK @Former-Member @Paperdaisy (I haven't been active on the forums much, so I'm just tagging a bunch of you to say Hi 🙂)

I think Ms has been around for a couple of hundred years, but only became popular in the 1970s.

yes, I prefer it when companies make it optional to use a title.

Hi @Shaz51 (and hi @RiverSeal what a cool user name!)

do your stepsons and Mr Shaz have any of the other things that often go with ADHD, like anxiety, dyspraxia, being creative with words, being double-jointed/hyperflexible joints...?
