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!!

@Former-Member have you experienced what life is like, without ADHD + dyslexia symptoms?

Long time no speak, you know how amazing our object permanence is!

Diagnosed ADHD almost 2 years ago, the psychiatrist very politely suggested I display a number of ASD traits.

Today I got my written report and I am officially Autistic. Level 2 at that. I spent my appointment crying at how grateful I am to finally be medicated properly. I have had an incredibly rough year, and I know pre-medicated me would have quit work, shut myself off and just all round had a crap time.

@Former-Member I hear you on fitting in. Was only last year I learnt not everyone gets exhausted after socialising.

Today my new Thermomix arrived, so I have been hyperfocusing on that. Yay novelty dopamine.

@Former-Member ugh that is so frustrating. I had been diagnosed with depression and anxiety, one psychiatrist suspected a personality disorder. Nope, AuDHD! I am grateful I have a psychiatrist who listens to me.

Dinner, and jaffa muffins for afters. Happy tummy here tonight!
