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!!

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 Food is food. When i;m feeling really lazy I'll just have whatever I find for dinner in the kitchen that looks like it will fit that empty spot. If that thing I find is a piece of cake... then so be it! Dinner is done. 😂

BAHAHA troubles in coffee-making for us both @Glisten 🤣

@Shaz51 omg I ever tell you about the time I laundered my phone?

I chucked my sheets on, turned on the washing machine, and heard CLUNK....CLUNK.... but of course was like 'meh, just washing machine noises'

15 minutes later I couldn't find my phone. Looked all around, up and down, and then it dawned on me.... the clunk was my phone getting spun around with the sheets!! No amount of rice was gonna save it 😅
