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

@Jynx What about practical math. For example, when I’m doing woodwork, I don’t have to calculate certain measurements, because I already know the answer. I don’t think about the answer, I just know it.

I don’t know why. My brain just works that way.

So try not thinking about the math. Just pick the number that comes to mind. It’s probably correct.

@Glisten

I grew up studying pure maths at uni, but I hated the institution. A couple years after that I read a book called Chaos Theory: Making a New Science by James Gleick and it changed the way the logic worked in my head, and now linear calculations are beyond my scope of what is actually normal.

@deshift it’s always nice to discover how our brain works. Makes life easier.

@Glisten I mean, I perfomed pretty well in maths at school, it's more about my ability to sustain my focus on a subject that was quite dull. History was even worse. Like I loved learning about ancient cultures and that kind of thing, but memorising dates and such? Yuck.

Also you just reminded me of this meme haha:

@Jynx some Primary & High Schools have evolved little from the first concept of free education.
Others have embraced students immediate family and community with a view of lifelong learning.

Dates - is no way to teach history.

His-Story - It is the story of humankind.

Our relationship with our world.

Our sameness.

I am struggling hard dealing with oncology unit at the hospital because they expect me to be neurotypical and I'm an emotionally spergy mess so they treat me like shit

Hey @Losingmyshiz I'm sorry I missed your message from a couple weeks ago - how you travelling now? Can imagine it's super frustrating to be treated crappy. Do they know you've got ADHD? I have heard it is still pretty stigmatised in the medical field, has that been your experience?

Here to listen if you want to chat.
