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!!

@Glisten Well if you forgot, especially more than once.... then you probably didnt miss much 🤣

If lessons weren't learnt after the first time, then no wonder he's an ex. 😁

@Jynx it should be socially acceptable for ADHD people to have chocolate for breakfast.

Should we run a poll on this?

Has anyone else had desert from dinner @Jynx @Glisten @MJG017 @Shaz51 @Oaktree @ArraDreaming when I was a 19-20 year old I made brownies for dinner with a friend. I thought I was mature and a full grown adult back then 🤣

@creative_writer @Glisten I mean... 'dessert' and 'dinner' are social constructs. We can choose to ignore them as we see fit!! Why deny ourselves pleasure based on some arbitrary labelling of mealtimes?

(I may have legitimately had chocolate for breakfast today LOL)
